The Slaughter's came to town

Eric's parents came to town this past weekend. We had a quite a nice weekend. Here are the pics:

April showers bring....

April has been good to us.

Eric's privates just graduated so Eric is now off cycle which means he will be home all the time. YEAH!




Me and baby are doing good, feeling good. Had ultrasound, baby looks really good, measuring right on. We are so grateful!



Caden has just been silly Caden we had a great Spring Break hanging out with all our friends. We have made really good friends with people here and our kids get along great. So we have been getting together with them, going on lunch dates, having them over here to play, making cookies with them. We are truly grateful for them.

Here is Caden rockin' the pledge of allegiance:

And the end of this week the inlaws are coming down here to have a blast with us!

Easter

This was Caden receiving his Easter Basket, he was very excited. He got an awesome book and some Wonder Pets Fruit Snacks and some eggs filled with his favorite yummy candy.



Caden all studly in his new threads provided by his Nanny!





Our friends from our ward invited us to house for an Easter Egg Hunt and dessert. Our friends have two motorcycles and they offered to let Eric drive one, which made me incredibly nervous. Eric is not the most cautious person. But it was a spyder 3 wheel one, so he did okay. I just wish I would have gotten a picture of him with the helmet on he had the biggest smile ever!
The kids had a great time finding the eggs and eating all the candy. They jumped on the trampoline, chased eachother. It was a really nice evening!

Caden dirty and tired


Joe trying to terrorize Caden, too funny!




All the kids having a blast on the trampoline!

Callway Easter "Egg" Hunt

We went with a family from our church (The Hermann's) to Callaway Gardens Easter Egg Hunt. We had a picnic by the lake and it was really nice. We were a little surprised that the eggs were just these marshmallow things, not plastic eggs. But it's okay the kids had a blast!




To get Caden to go to the Easter Bunny I told him that the Easter Bunny was 'ticklish' so he giggled and went over to him.


Yeah, to Easter Egg Hunts!



So cute!



The "loot"









Playing at the Lake. Caden did so much better then the last time we were in Florida. He jumped right into the sand and got in the water with the kids. Afterwards we went and played the putt putt golf, it was a beautiful day with great friends. We were all pooped afterwards.

Canvas pictures I made with scrapbooking paper

20 Weeks and A Wake-Up

This is me with Caden-19wks

B)I know I'm in a sports bra, I wasn't thinking.


Here I am in my glory of 20 weeks.




I got to say this little girl inside loves, me I'm still down 6lbs and loving it! And I'm at the point of feeling great and feeling her move around a ton!
I'm super nesty this time, currently working on the nursery, pics to come!

We still dont have a name but since I appreciate every single one of you I'll tell you what we have so far, but we are always up for suggestions
my only requirements(doesn't have to be all of them, just one):

a older name, classic ya know? Go dig through your genealogy
a simple name, slaughter is kind of a mouthful
and NOT a name from Eric and I's generation, you know Lindsay, Ashley etc. (No offense to any lindsay's or Ashley's out there)

So, what we have so far is

Lucy
Emmaline(Emmy)
Annabelle

Your thoughts??

God fearing Southerners

So, there is a LOT of church's in Columbus, mainly baptist but a good variety. So, when driving around town Eric and I love reading the church billboards outside the church. And since moving to this house, we live near this great church that has the best sayings we've seen:

Try God, if you don't like him. Satan will always take you back.
-God

What if you don't believe in me and you're wrong?
-God

And this one is from a church by our church but I actually liked it a lot:

Choice is the Authority to do Right

Scratch the last post

I'm going a whole different direction. I liked the last set but wasn't in love with it. So.... went to local fabric store and was inspired AWWWWW. I will be using a bunch of different fabrics to cover the last set and this is some of what I'll be using...





there is more that goes with it but you get the idea of where I'm going with it. i feel like this might be my only shot at a girl room so I want to make it somthing I love.
