Baby Showers

Kevon from our work hosted Jen & I a double baby shower. It was so amazing. He is the hostess with the mostest ;) These were our cute diaper cakes he & Sharon made, & the most delicious cake & frosting I have ever ever had in my life!!! Lorrienne made it, along with such special homemade blankets, burp cloths, & bibs for the babies. We have such awesome work friends! The shower was wonderful & it was fun to see people outside of work. We had a great time & got super-spoiled. Thanks guys!

Me & Jen with our gifts. We got so many fun things. The NICU girls & therapists gave us a high chair I had picked out (so cute!) & money, Angie crochet/crocheted/croched (sp? That looks too much like crotch, doesn't it?!) anyways, some way cute bibs. We got gift cards, books, blankets, lotions, bath stuff, diapers-anything you could think of!

Melissa Perkins threw Russie a fabulous circus-themed shower. It was so cute! Melissa is the party planner extraordinaire, so of course it was amazing! It is always so fun to get all the girls together & see everyone.

Me & Russ modeling our little boys & bumps :) I'm so excited Tate will have so many little boys his age to play with. How fun!

April Birthdays!

Vincie's birthday decorations. Pretty fabulous if I say so myself!

B-day girl's 31st bday! We went to "Andy's" for greek food. I had never been there. It was DE-lish! Then we came back to my house for Shalee's fabulous cake & to open presents. Gotta love the girl's nights & bdays!

Shalee with her bff HoneyBun ;) You can see Buns can feel the tension. It was hysterical to watch her jump up by Russie & Sha. I was watching Shalee try to slyly swat her away with the magazine she was reading. Too funny!

Annie's 31st Bday! We all got together at Annie's house with all the kids. We all brought stuff, but Annie made the most awesome enchiladas. EVvvverything tastes SOoooo good since I'm pregnant, I can't believe it!

Easter Morning

AGAIN...I can't seem to type at the top of the page for some reason. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Anyhow, Easter morning was fun! I tried to especially enjoy it because I don't know how much longer Liv will like finding her Easter eggs around the house. Having a kid is so much fun! She was hysterical to watch, since Bobby hid them so good. This year is probably the longest it took her :)

I wish she looked for missing clothing items, etc. around the house this good ;)

Modeling her finds. This dress was so cute! It was a twinner with one of mine. (Yes, she is so cute, she still likes to be matchy-matchy). Unfortunately, the dress was too small :( Extra unfortunately, so was mine! I bought it  when I was first pregnant& didn't anticipate so much extra boobage

Friedli Family Fun Easter-Time

My sweet parents of course went all out for Easter too. They are the best grandparents! We had a de-lish dinner, then the kids got to fill up their baskets with eggs & treasures hidden in the yard, then us big kids got to search for our eggs (which is not easy with my dad hiding them!). Thanks again Mom & Dad for all the time & effort you always put into making everything so special for us. You're the best! We love you!

Dakota gettin his usual snugglin from Poppy. It is very sweet how much he still just LOVES my dad. Our same sweet boy

Cute Lliv lookin for her eggs & prizes

Grammy & Houston. Or just "Gram" as she is known now. Houston is going through a phase where he shortens everyones name.  Even Bobby is "Bob." We were all laughing hysterically when we heard him say that!

My sweet Kota lookin handsome as usual!

The big kids after our Easter Egg hunt. My parents are too fun! My dad is an extremely tricky hider too!

My poor parents never get in the pics. We need to be better about taking turns! Or get a tripod

Liv & Tate with all their finds from the hunt. These kids are all WELL-loved!

Houston & Kota loved the bubbles I got them! It was fun to watch them

Easter Fun @ Gramma n Grampa's & 23 weeks

My cute Grandma Marilyn & Grandpa Bert hold an annual egg hunt at their house every Easter. My dad grilled hamburgers & we all had lunch outside (it was a gorgeous day!). It was fun to be with all the cousins, aunts, & uncles! It is so much work to put all of this together, so a big big thank you to Grandma & Grandpa! We love you!

This is me & Tater at 23 weeks. We are posing in front of my parents beautiful new fireplace in their beautiful new family room. All their renovations have turned out gorgeous!

Is my daughter beautiful or what? She is a little supermodel in every picture. So cute :)

Me & my cute family

Egg Decorating & Easter Cupcakes

This is my new find off ksl. It is soo cute & I love it. I use it to display my prettiest shoes & to give Bobby more closet space :)

Liv & Savannah decorating eggs. We went with pastel metallics this year, very cute!

These are our cupcakes we brought to family dinner & the grandparents. Liv had never seen the 'ol coconut nest with jellybean eggs cupcakes. She is getting to be quite the little baker & decorator!

Finished product!

Billy's Fundraiser

Bobby's younger brother Billy suffered a brain aneurysm. We are so fortunate that he is alive, well, & has no permanent deficits. It is truly a miracle. We are so grateful that he has done as well as he has. He was in the hospital after his brain surgery for about a month, & in ICU for most of it. Medical bills & life going on can be tough financially, so we all got together to hold a fundraiser for Billy & his family. It was very successful! We had so many kind businesses, friends, community members, & family donate many things for the silent auction & raffle (my own family & friends included. Thank you so so much guys!). I had a great time planning & working together with Bobby's family. The more time I spend with them & getting to know them, the more I love them. It was fun to get together to do some good too! We all love you Billy & are so happy you are doing so well!

Bobby & I were on pancake duty. It was fun AND funny thanks to Grandma Sandi ;)

This is Paige, Billy's daughter, filling in for me to take a potty break & say hi to my family & friends who came. Thanks again so much guys for being so supportive! Love you!

Pic of the crowd. It was a GREAT turnout! Not surprising though since everyone loves Billy. He is such a wonderful, genuine person with a wonderful family too!

St. Patty's Day Dinner @ Mom n Dad's

My cute mom, parents actually, always make every holiday fun. This is our cute dining atmosphere for St. Patrick's Day. We all love Sunday dinners & being together, but it's extra fun when you have a theme or holiday :)

Liv & Maelee

Me & the little boys. So handsome!

All the grandkids (Tate is in my belly but he still got a cute festive shirt for next year!)

Thanks for making every Sunday super fun Mom & Dad. We love you!

Late Christmas Parties I Never Posted

Blogging is great but a little frustrating sometimes. This is where I was able to insert my text, so this is where it will go :) The holidays are hectic so we decided to celebrate afterwards. It's fun though because it keeps the holidays going! Annie, Ash, Tisha, & I (& all children of course) went to McDonald's so the kids could run wild & we could eat n chat.We all drew names & opened presents too. It was fun :)

Livy & Tayler

Ash, C.J., & Riley

Me & Heather celebrated after the holidays too. We went to Roosters & I got my naughty fries. De-lish! Then we went back to my house to exchange gifts. Yes I am in a t-shirt & sweats already. This was during my throwing up & exhausted phase so gimme a break ;)

19 week ultrasound

So I had my big 19 week ultrasound & it went great. Other than the tech saying I look "a lot bigger than most girls at this stage." Who says that, seriously? Atleast she told me I have a small butt & from behind you can't tell :) The baby looks perfect though, & is measuring about a week and a half bigger, but still within normal ranges. Just on the healthy side I guess!
I'm not sure if anyone else knows (I learned by trial & error) that if you click on the picture it makes it bigger. It's probably common sense to most bloggers, but I'm new :) So if you would like a bigger picture of his peeper, click away :) Jk.
This is 20 almost 21 weeks, at the fam's for Sunday dinner.
