Checkin' out the River..

The last couple of days have been great weather. Great here means NO snow storms and NO negative temperatures. It's actually been sunny and not as COLD...so, last night we decided to take a drive to Rockport reservoir and walk around the river/campground area. I think Beck would've jumped in if we'd let him. BBRRRR. It's a pretty place for fly fishing. Maybe next time.?


5 mths prego now and growing quite the belly under that coat.


what cute BOYS!


HAHA. We're shocked? and then the batteries died.

Baby steppin around the block.

Dave and I have been letting Beckham walk himself around our block. He loves it of course but it seriously takes a good 20+minutes to get back home. When normally it would be about a 5 minute walk. He kicks the snow, picks up rocks and will do tiny grampa shuffles when the terrain changes in any way. It's pretty funny.
It's a great way to tire the little guy out.

Babies are coming!

It was my cousin Trisha's baby shower this saturday. WOOO HOO. She is 9 mths prego and choosing to get induced on the 29th....LEAP year. Crazy mama. I'm so excited to see the little guy. Some names that are on her list are...Crosby, Led, and Vincent. It's the Rock baby. Everyone calls him Gethro right now but I don't think that one will stick?

The food was great and it was fun to see everyone! Trish and I were convinced that we had to have a BELLY photo shoot. I'm 4 1/2 mths now and am kind of scared to get so big again. aaaah. It's just SO....I don't know, uncomfortable that last bit. Anyways, I'm sending Trish my good luck labor VIBES and hoping for a fast and easy delivery. :) LOVE you CUZ!







My lovely Mother and her twin sis..AH cute!

Here Fishy Fishy!

What could be more COOL than going icefishing for a Laurels activity?

This was a first time for all 5 girls and everyone but one caught fish. I think We did pretty good for beginners! Thanks to the 6 guys that came with us, 3 of those being my DAD-EO, uncle Perry and Uncle Myron, we had snowmobiles, tents to stay warm and a total grease cookout right on the ice. They cooked everyone fish, mozerella sticks and jalepeno poppers for lunch. It was quite the event. I think we'll make it a new tradition.


I thought my little fish reminder was pretty cute?




Most of the fish were just babies


Then Em caught the trophy of the group

Lunchtime


..and, we're off

Say cheese!

The good doctor told us today that baby #2 will be a GIRL.!! It was so nice to finally see a baby in there! It's amazing how a black and white small screened picture can bring so much excitment and relief. SHE was just perfect. Moving around and showing off her lil' appendages. What a miracle it is to grow a baby.
Dave and I were both a little surprised by the gender. I thought all along 'girl' but still figured that somehow the doc would say boy.? We are of course very excited and already thinking girl names, looks, and girly cute clothes.
Big brother Beckham is unfortunately showing his pink with a nasty case of pink eye. Poor guy. I am hoping for the best but planning on him sharing the goop eye with me and D. That stuff is yuck wild fire!

Oh Yes, as for the 'buns' in the oven, pink was chosen, taste tested and beat by the ultimate raspberry cheese cake. But, no hard feelings, that stuff deserved a win. Mmmmm.

Much love, Bre, Dave, Beck and baby GIRL.

My bun in the oven is....?

Still UNKNOWN, but find out tomorrow.

Tomorrow night is a combined yw/ym bake off competition. The bishopric is coming to do a taste test and give awards. If we find out its a girl...I bring pink bread; if boy, it'll be blue. I told everyone to expect a color coded delish dish. Now everyone can see my 'home' made bun in the oven. Mmm!

Just a thought?

We all decided to take advantage the sunny weather today and get outside. Dave went fly fishing, and Beck and I went on a walk. We walked probably a mile or two around town and this is what I saw over and over.

Seriously like every house had a vehicle that was snowed in and most looked drivable. I wonder if most households have a car that they don't 'really' need?
*as you can tell fishing was probably much more entertaining.... maybe next time?
