What we've been up to.....Our "Photo Shoot" and more...

So, I woke up Sunday morning with a great idea, since we were just hanging around all day with nothing to do, I thought we could all get cute and take a family picture since my mom was here to take it. So we pretty much spent the whole day getting ready (well I did, showering can be quite an accomplishment right now:) and started pictures.....

Let's just say it didn't turn out quite the way I had imagined...

Brynnli was fine once I fed her, but Carson was not feeling photogenic at all....
What an angel she is!!!
Poor Carson, he was not happy with us at all, he wanted to play outside

Grandma and Brynnli
Aww.... she has Rick wrapped around her finger already

Here are some belated Valentines pics

We were feeling stir crazy on Saturday so we went to President's Fest at a park by our house, Carson's favorite part was the "nine" school buses in the parking lot
Brynnli slept the whole time!!!

Brynnli Allison Tolbert, has finally joined us. The Doctor showed up at 8:00 AM to check on Allison and Brynnli was born at 8:07 AM on Feb. 7. She weighed 7lb 13oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. Everything went wonderful and we are still in the recovery room for the next night or two. Since the hospital has internet we wanted to post some of our pics.

This is my first blog page I don't know what I'm doing but Allison is sleeping

and I know she wanted to post some pictures tonight.

While we wait.....

My house is cleaned, the laundry is done, my clothes are all too small, and I am ready to have this baby. The problem is, apparently she is not ready to come out yet:) Yes, as you may have guessed, we are still waiting on our little girl to make her way out. She still has one more day to get out on time, but after that we may have to start some pep talks etc. I went to the doctor last Thursday and was 3 cm dilated, I guess a good sign, and yet, we wait......

While we wait I will blog some pictures I have been meaning to post anyways.

This weekend Carson and I and his grandparents went to a family birthday party. Carson had a blast!!

He wore Mickey ears (for two seconds)

And he got to play in a bounce house, which he LOVED!!!!!
For obvious reasons, no one wanted me in the bounce house, so Grandpa got to tag along while I watched....
And Carson ate all my birthday cake!!!!

He was so cute bouncing with the other two girls his age!!

And two weeks ago I had a back to back baby shower weekend. Friday night my friend Kimberly threw me an awesome shower at her house with mostly people from church. She did a great job, I especially liked that she had all purple treats!!!! Here's some pictures and a link from the shower, it was soo fun!!

Who knew that you can get lingerie at a baby shower? (Okay, it's a nursing bra... which I am so excited about:)

Then Saturday afternoon my mother in law hosted another shower mostly for family and family friends at her house which also turned out to be a blast!! Carson had fun running around getting attention, and our little girl got all kinds of clothes!! What a spoiled girl just like her big brother!!
This is the only picture I have from that one so far, sorry!!!
Hopefully we'll have some good news for you soon!!
