Spring Fever

Well tomorrow we leave for Disney World and we are so excited.  Words cannot begin to describe how excited we are!  We have tried to be smart and buy lots of Disney things here at the Disney store instead of when we get there and have to pay twice as much for it.  I bought the girls Cinderella dress ups and they don't know it yet.  They are going to be so surprised when we get ready to go eat with Cinderella and they get to match her!  Mimi bought them several swimsuits from the disney store that are going to be adorable, Hayden is so excited that it is going to be warm enough to swim.  I have everything packed and ready to go for tomorrow.  I even had new tires put on my car this morning!

I also took the girls to Grandmama's house today for some Spring pictures in their Easter dresses.  Grandmama's yard is so pretty right now, so we decided to go ahead and dress the girls up in all their Easter stuff and try it out.  Hayden is going through the face of the weird smile and Gracie was all smiles today.  They are not perfect pictures but they are our girls and they are precious.

Disney World

We are leaving next Thursday night headed to Disney World.  I think I am more excited than anyone about going.  I have never been before either!  Hayden says that she is going to hug Cinderella and Gracie is going to hug Minnie Mouse.  I know it is going to be so much fun but very busy being that we will only have 2 days there.  We have reservations to eat with Mickey Mouse for breakfast on Saturday and we are going to be having dinner with Cinderella on Friday.  Don't worry I will be sure to take thousands of pictures for everyone to see! 

Entertainment

Gracie is at the silly age.  Everything she does is cute and I have recently started taking random pictures of her.  She loves to cook the play kitchen.  The other morning she wanted me to help her put on the apron and hair net.  The hair net came from Hayden's field trip to the Mayfield Dairy, but it works well in their kitchen.  I know I don't want any hair in my food!  She is so silly, she has finally gotten to the point where she will smile and say cheese for the camera...well for me anyway.  However, we are going to try some professional pictures in the next couple of weeks again and we'll see how she does. 

"CHEESE"

Looking at that little chef in training...

Whew, I'm tired after all that cooking...I want Pooh!!!

This is how Gracie has to eat Spaghetti O's!!!

I also got a call yesterday from the First Baptist Church that Gracie is going to preschool at and she will be in the 3 day class now.  Sorry someone else had to cancel but I am glad she gets to go for 3 days instead of 2.  I think she is going to like it.

Colton's Room

I finally got my baby bedding for Colton's room.  Mark and I got it all set up on Friday night with a little help from our little angels.  The girls are starting to get excited about Colton.  Gracie now kisses my belly and says Baby!  Hayden has always gave him kisses, but she knows more about what is going on.   They were so excited about his room!  It turned out great!  I love, love, love his room and all I really have left as far as decorating goes is a rug.

3D/4D Ultrasound

Yesterday we went for our 3D/4D ultrasound to see baby Colton!  We invited Aunt Kim and Uncle Artie to join us.  First we ate at the Vortex and it was so yummy...I was the only one to eat more than half of my lunch, but I am blaming it on the growing, handsome little boy in my belly!!!  We also got confirmation that he is still a little boy, he was proud of his stuff and showed us proudly.  It was a great afternoon and it got even better once I saw my baby's handsome, precious little face.  Colton was so good yesterday and because I had drank lots and lots of water, we were able to get great pictures of him.  He gave us the thumbs up one time, completely covered his face with his hands a couple of times and even showed us that he can put his feet up to his head.  It is amazing how much you can see on these things and I can't decide if he looks like Hayden or Gracie, he definitely has their noses...which is a very cute little nose.  Oh and I almost forgot...HE HAS HAIR!!!  Neither one of the girls had hair until they were about two!!!  Other than that, I think he may have his own little look, which is perfect too!  I can't wait to have him in my arms and see his handsome face in person.

Here are the pictures of Baby Colton...Due June 6, 2011

Weekly Recap

Monday - Hayden had a TBall game and she wasn't as nervous this time!  She hit much better and was a little upset that she had to play in the outfield,  because she didn't get to catch any balls.  I explained to her that everyone had to have a turn catching.  She is so cute out there, and so into it!  She has practice on Thursday night and another ball game on Monday evening. 

Tuesday - Hayden had ballet and she really likes it too!  I got a little information on her recital this week.  The recital is May 21st and 22nd at 2pm.  She has to go both days and apparently we have to find out how many tickets we are going to need because only 4 of them are free.  The rest are only $5 a piece but I am wondering if she only gets so many tickets.  There will be more information to follow!

Wednesday - I had a baby doctor appointment.  It was a good appointment.  Everything was normal and Colton's heartbeat was in the 140's, which is great.   Dr. Garrett asked if the baby was active.  My answer was YES he is VERY active, whenever I am sitting I can watch my belly moving all around, in fact this morning he woke me up...I am thinking that he completely turned this morning, being that it was really strong.  I love feeling him move around, it is one of the best parts of being pregnant.  Mark always tries to feel him moving but the little stinker stops as soon as I put Mark's hand on my belly!  Oh and Dr. Garrett also said that I had gained 7lbs in 2 weeks, all I can say is that all the birthday cake that I have been eating was yummy!  She told me that she wasn't too concerned with my weight being that I am so tiny, it is okay for me to gain a little more than average!  I am still on track for my weight gain because I didn't gain hardly any weight until my 2nd trimester. 

We stay very busy at the Stancil house, and to think in the next year Gracie will be old enough for extracurricular activities.  I have to admit that I love it, even though it is very busy!  I love being a stay at home Mommy with my girls and boy!  I get to be there for everything and that is so important to them!!! 

Go Padres

Hayden had her first TBall game yesterday!  I am so glad that the weather was warm and beautiful for it.  She did really well, but I could tell that she was nervous about all the people watching.  I told her for her game on Monday, to just pretend that she is at practice.  The only reason I know that she was really nervous was because she didn't hit the ball very good, at practice she knocks it really hard.  She also kept her fingernails in her mouth, hope she doesn't take after her Nana and bite nails.  All that really matters is that she liked it and had fun!  We are so proud of you Hayden!!!

Gracie really likes Colton's bassinet!



She liked it so much that she even took a nap in it!



Coach is telling her what to do when the game starts

Catching those balls

Waiting Patiently

Ready to Hit

Good Job Baby!
