Easter FUN!

Easter weekend started out kinda bummerish! We had plans to head down south to be with family. I was really looking forward to it....BUT I have been on bed rest...so our plans changed. Our family was alone for the week......BUT Easter weekend ended up being a great one! Tate enjoyed a few different Easter egg hunts....one in Nibley, another at Lee's market place, and our own backyard. The weather was wonderful for the most part.....I LOVE WARM WEATHER!! Easter just gets better and better each year, kids just make it wonderful!!!

ALWAYS ON HOLIDAYS, TATE SLEEPS IN FOREVER..THE REST OF THE DAYS...NOT SO MUCH! WE WAITED TIL QUARTER TO 10 AND FINALLY WOKE HIM SO WE WOULDN'T MISS THE NIBLEY HUNT....SLEEPING SOOOOO CUTE IN HIS "BIG BOY BED"!

OUR BACK YARD EGG HUNT...TATE LOVED IT SO MUCH....WE DID IT TWICE!

Last belly pics!

I am afraid to say these are the last belly pictures....so you better enjoy them to the FULLest (that was a pun)! Just kidding....but they probably are.

Tate loves his little bro.

Tate loves to point and show off his belly button. I don't so much want to show you my belly button (or lack of it), but thought I would show off my soon to pop belly! Oh the joy of pot-belly's.


My dad and all of his daughters have a tradition to have a pot-belly picture with all of the pregnancy's. Daddy and I had the opportunity to 'pot-belly it' the other night. (I think I overpower him right now.)



I really do love being pregnant....some may say I am crazy........but I enjoy the movements of the little miracle inside of me. I will miss it, but also be glad to hold the sweet little one in my arms....oh....and get into clothes that sorta fit!

2 Wonderful years!!!

Two years ago, on this conference weekend we moved into our home. I remember it as if it were yesterday. It was poring rain outside (can you believe rain..and not snow in April?) and I was about 20 weeks along with Tate. I am pretty particular how I like things, and nobody would let me help move(this made me mad..but also grateful for the help). It was a very tiring and busy weekend, but I do remember blaring conference on the radio during the Saturday move. It was a great conference as always. I LOVE GENERAL CONFERENCE!! It took of course a good few weeks to get everything cleaned and put away...a few more weeks and months to get things decorated the way I wanted...and that is still ever changing.

When we were looking for homes to buy, for some reason I felt that this area was the place to be. There were other places we really liked....but not the $$$prices$$$. I felt like this area of Logan and THIS home was ours. We bought the place and the first week/months we were here, I got SO discouraged by loud and crazy neighbors. I didn't feel the closeness I was hoping for with the neighbors and ward members. I didn't feel as safe as I wanted (I was going to have a new baby...I like SAFE!) I started to really feel like we had made a bad decision.

Needless to say: I LOVE LOVE LOVE my neighbors now and the friends that I have met in the ward and area are the BEST. I feel so blessed to have come to this place. It has changed BIG TIME from the beginning FOR THE GOOD! We have had wonderful people move into great homes, we have had a change of ward boundaries...(which I do miss a lot of great people) but now it is a size that is much easier to get to know and befriend people much easier. I feel sooooooooo blessed to be in this home, we pray daily and nightly thanking for the roof over our heads and the blessing of great and wonderful neighbors and friends that make our lives complete. Ohh and much much more. (Sorry if this sounds like a thank-imony) I do want to give a woot woot to all the love you give our family. You know who you are!! Thanks so much!

The house...no grass at the time....but there is now!!! yay!

Couple random pictures of the house when we first moved in!



2 great years in this home and hopefully many more to come! ohh but who likes the mortgage??

BIRTHDAY BOY!!!

Out of all of my boys, my biggest turned 40 today!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Can you believe that I am married to a 40 year old????!??!?!? April fools!! Aaron is just 30 silly, but still that is older than dirt right??? (sorry to those that are 30 and older) My fool of a husband is so grand, I just love him so very much and really don't know where I would be without him. He is the best husband a wife could get!

His birthday couldn't be on a better day, April 1st (fools)....everyone always remembers it, and he loves to do tricks on ME...cuz I don't dare do mean ones to him...but that is ok!! (he always saran raps the toilet seat and puts a rubber band around the kitchen sink sprayer...sometimes I still fall for it, but after 7 years of the same tricks...I am ready for it! Now if I could just do a good/nice one on him! any ideas????


HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!

The other day I was on the way home from the grocery store and I thought it would be nice to give Tate a yummy chocolate marshmallow egg. I gave him the whole egg, he didn't even eat half.......and this happened!!! It was so funny, I just had to take a picture of my sweetie. How could you get mad at this face??!!??!!



Aaron and Tate enjoyed a few minutes in Grandpa's Hot tub the other night...I would have loved to have gotten it...but will have to wait a month or so.


Tate has officially graduated to a "big boy bed"!! YAY!! We were so afraid that this would be a hard process but instead it was the best thing we have ever done. He LOVES it! He sleeps in it ten times better than the crib. It has been funny to hear him in the morning come to the door and knock on it, then go and sit on his "big boy bed" and wait for us to come and get him. He has been great!

(Tate has a surfer room...we tried to find some sheets that looked surferish...these blue cammo sheets kinda looked like water....right???)


The baby's room is just about there...just a couple more things to get ready and this baby should be good to go. The theme is race cars/motor anything. I sewed him a baby quilt, crib ruffle and curtains. My AWESOMELY talented neighbor Ariana helped me make a baby bean bag....I LOVE IT!!! We didn't want to spend too much on the babies room...due to the high prices on everything in the world, but I got some great deals at Micheal's, and Ross. Gotta love great deals...I know, I know I am a cheap scape.

The awesome bean bag!


The curtains!

Wall vinyl my mother-in-law made for the room

Race flags I sewed!

Cool lookin' motorcycle!


I am getting more and more excited and scared as the days get closer....still NO NAME.....AHHHHH!

McClellan's in March!

March started out very warm!! Loved it!! I was getting so excited cuz our grass was already sooooo green (just a couple of spots of snow to melt.) Spring fever was all around....and then the dreaded storm came..........but we still had fun in it. Tate was not so sure when I bundled him in three layers of clothing, but once he got outside he LOVED it! He did NOT want to come in. It was really deep. Zip, Tate, Aaron and I enjoyed our time in the fluffy stuff. What made it MUCH better, it started melting pretty much right away...and now almost gone again. I can handle storms like these.

So much snow!




Random picture!

Aaron and Tate having a BOY moment. (we were transferring the car seat to our friends car.)

I had a great 28th birthday! All year I kept thinking that I was 28...so now that I really am...I feel way young...haa haa! My mom and dad did a early party for me and on the BIG day...I had lots of meals, calls, texts, cards and so on...thanks for the LOVE all!
Tate loves mommies balloons.


I went to my OB visit this last week and had my third ultra sound. All was great!! They said the baby is 4 pounds 6 oz right now and measuring right on. My amniotic fluids were perfect..YAY..(last pregnancy I had low fluids.) My doctor thinks that he may do another ultra sound in a couple more weeks and we will go from there.(If low, he will start me early?!?!?). I am really happy about this news, cuz I am happy to go to my due date in May. We sure love to see the pictures of our little guy, last time he was a stinker and was asleep on my uterus...we were not able to see a face, this time we did. I am so excited to see him and hug him. I am just not ready for the sleepless nights.



This is the not so exciting life of the McClellan's in March..sorry hopefully the posts will get better.

I love my TURKEYS!!

I do love my Turkey's!!! My hubby and child are my Turkeys..........and it's not even Thanksgiving!!!!(even though it looks like I ate one.) Aaron has been wanting to cook a Turkey in his dutch oven and he finally got the chance. He cooked a Turkey in the garage with coals and all the works. He stuffed it with onions and seasonings. He loves doing things like this, and I love watching him do them.

Aaron and His BABY!

My other turkey is feeling much better and loven' his puddin'!!!! He usually doesn't play in his food this much...so I had to get it on camera!
