Some of you may have noticed on the side bar a floating baby. Yes, I am pregnant. I am about 12 weeks along and due November 10. I was actually going to wait to tell anyone until I knew if it was a boy or girl but Porter didn't want to wait so we told family and now I'm telling friends. We're excited and so are the girls. They want a brother pretty bad. I guess it doesn't really matter to me what it is, but a girl would be a lot easier since I have all the girl stuff and I know what to do with girls. I have a feeling this is going to be a long and exhausting pregnancy. I can barely stay awake all day and I'm usually in bed by 9 or 9:30 and I'm still tired when I wake up. The sickness is starting to go away a little bit, but it hasn't been too bad this time.

Easter!
I really like Easter. Probably because I know that summer is coming soon. We had a fun Easter weekend. Saturday we went to my parents house and had an Easter egg hunt and dinner.
The girls loved the egg hunt and got a ton of candy. It took Brynlie a minute to figure out what they were doing and then she went like a wild woman.
They got to play with their cousin Jared who they love to play with and had a blast. It was nice for me to because I could let them play outside by themselves because I knew Jared was out there and he's old enough now it's like having a babysitter out there with them.

This picture is of the girls at Grandma and Grandpa Galloways for the egg hunt they had on Sunday after church.
Saturday night the girls colored eggs. They love to color eggs. Porters extended family gets together on Easter and they have a tradition of going down to Grandpa Porter's pond and they climb up the hill and roll colored Easter eggs down it. Don't ask me what that's all about because I still don't get it but everyone has a lot of fun. I've never heard of rolling eggs until I married Porter but I guess it's a really old tradition.
This is the girls on Easter morning they got a little bit of candy, cause I knew they would get a load from the grandparents. They also got toys for outside like sidewalk chalk, little gardening tools, and a plastic golf club set. Brynlie got a puzzle book and Rylie got a Tinkerbell coloring book. They were a little disappointed they weren't allowed to open anything until after church but I noticed Brynlie sneaking a few pieces of candy.
This is one reason I love having girls, because I get to dress them up especially for Easter. They got new outfits for church. I have and obsession with matching them. They both got the same outfit just in different colors.
Of course Brynlie can't be serious for a picture. Notice the piece of candy in her hand that she had to have.
Rylie is such a little princess sometimes, she loves to get her picture taken and took a lot of really cute pictures. This is one that shows off her new outfit so I had to post it.
We had a really fun and really busy Easter weekend. I love having so much family around so we can have these fun times together.

Spring Break Fun
A little over a week ago we decided to go with Porter's family and take the girls to that dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was a pretty cool museum. They had a lot of hands on things to do for the kids. They got to use brushes and un-bury dinosaur bones and there was a water and sand table to play with. I thought it was pretty expensive, thirty dollars for just Porter and I to get in. Thankfully Porter's parents paid for the girls or that would have been another twenty five. There was also a 3-d movie to see which was kind of neat. The girls liked it but I don't know if we would ever go again. We are more into doing cheap things with the girls, but we're willing to try anything once 
The silly girls un-burying dinosaur bones.
This was a huge dinosaur and all I could get in the picture was the foot so I had the girls pose by it.
Brynlie by a Triceratops, you can't really see it in the picture.
Seth, Rylie, Brynlie, and Parker posing for pictures.
Here's just a couple of pics of the girls swimming at the hotel. I think that they had more fun swimming than anything else we did that weekend.
We also went to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. When we first pulled up to the aquarium I was a little worried. It looked like and I pretty sure it's true that they converted an old grocery store into the aquarium. I wasn't quite sure what to think about it. I only hoped it would be worth it.
It was really small but I was pleasantly surprised. They did have a lot of cool fish to see and they let you pet sting rays. My kids just wanted to touch the fish that were in the sting ray tank and not the sting rays. They even had little sharks to look at. It wasn't too expensive which was a bonus and the girls got to use their own money to buy themselves souvenirs. I think the girls really enjoyed it.
Besides taking the girls to the movie Monsters vs. Aliens the museum and aquarium are about the only things we did with the girls for spring break. I got really sick and could barely get out of bed for a few days so the girls didn't have that fun of a break but at least we got to do a few things.
