Easter

Hunting eggs at "Kessie's" house. When Chase looks at a picture of my grandparents or sees them, he just says "Kessie" for my grandma and "Papa beep beep(the golf cart)" for my grandpa. Sorry grandma...he's not trying to be rude. I always tell him it's GRANDMA Kessie. Pretty funny anyway and he will get it eventually. He has so many grandparents it's hard to come up with names for all of them. :)
He had lots of fun finding eggs and riding on the "beep beep" even though it was a bit chilly. He REALLY had fun opening the eggs and finding goodies inside. The pictures are a bit out of order and I just can't figure out how to get them in the order I want. "I found one Daddy"

Getting started with empty basket

found another one

"Papa beep beep" Brrr.....it's cold out here.

Lots of eggs with goodies inside.

32 weeks

Here is a 32 week belly shot (now that I'm almost 33). I feel HUGE!!! I am starting to really feel uncomfortable at times. But I know this little boy will be SO worth it. We hung out with Erica and boys today and Chase was really curious about baby Drake which made me very happy. He even shared his blankies with him. I was SHOCKED! So hopefully he'll be as nice to his little brother.


Funny and annoying story from work this week about me being pregnant. I was checking in a patient on Tuesday and we were walking to the scales to weigh her.

Patient: "I thought you would have had that baby by now" (I'm not sure when she'd been in last)

Cara: "No not yet, I wish. A couple of months to go"

Patient: "Really?" (as she steps on the scale) That must be a big baby in there."

Are you kidding me? Who says that to a pregnant woman with weeks to go? Keep it to yourself lady! Or at least go home and tell someone else. Needless to say I was not impressed!!!!! I won't say what she tipped the scales at that day. :) Oh well! I guess I'll just laugh at it!

Stewart was jealous

Stewart must have heard that I called Sammy a "good kitty" in my last post, because this is how I found him last night. All curled up in Sammy's bed. Crazy cats!

Random again

Well another random post from the Graves family. Lots of random pics to share. Chad has been on Spring Break this week so he and Chase had lots of fun while I worked for a few days. I was home Thursday and today so we all go to hang out. We even did some much needed spring cleaning around the house and in the garage. Now if we could get some nice spring weather around here that would be great!

We want to say congrats to the Pepplers (my cousin Ryan and his wife Jamie), who are expecting their second child in November. We are so very excited for them and soon to be big brother Matthew! Congrats guys!!! Chase playing in my slippers

Welcome Drake Sefton. Our very good friends the Seftons welcomed their 3rd boy a couple of weeks ago and I am just now posting his picture. Erica (or "Hot-A" as Chase says it) is one of Chase's babysitters and he LOVES her and her older boys Gage and Bryce. We are so very thankful that she takes such good care of Chase. We miss her right now!

Chase has theses very small bouncy balls that he loves to play with but they often roll under the TV entertainment center or a dresser. So Chad and I get the yard stick out to retrieve the ball for him. Well he thinks it's pretty cool so he has been rolling them under something on purpose and asking for the "stick" to fish them out. It's pretty funny until he starts waving that thing around at us.

We decided this week to say goodbye to our coffee table. The corners were a hazard to Chase as he almost knocks his chin on them daily, and with another baby coming we thought it would be a good idea to remove it from our living room. So Chad surprised me this week with the idea of these black cubes that double as a coffee table and storage. We needed some blanket storage anyway. The tops come off and flip over for a nice tray. Thanks Chad....they are awesome!!!! Chase had decided that he needs to tear the tops off and use them as toys. Hopefully they will get old soon! :) Maybe one of these days I'll take a picture of our living room when there aren't toys spread all over. Highly unlikely but I'll try.

Daddy, Chase and some friends after getting up one morning this week.

Stewart's newest resting spot....the baby changing table. Sorry only a few more weeks Stewart.

This is where we would like Stewart to take naps....Betty bought these nice beds for our kitties to sleep/nap in but Stewart refuses! Thanks Betty...we still like them.

Sammy, however, looks adorable in hers, and sleeps in it ALL the time! What a good kitty.

Almost 30 week belly shot from last Sunday. I am currently almost 31 weeks and everything is still looking good. I went to the doctor yesterday and all is cruising along. I am starting to get uncomfortable at night, which is always fun, but I guess I need to be preparing for some sleepless nights coming up anyway.

Take care!!!
