Got creative today

I felt like doing something creative and relaxing today...so I painted some wood picture frames. I used to paint stuff all the time before the little ones started to join the family! I miss it...hope I can keep it up once baby boy shows up...at least on some "me time" if that ever happens. Anyway, below are the 4 frames I did today...enjoy!! (They are not the best pics...my camera is being weird)

One for a photo of Mariah


One for of a photo of baby boy...when he comes!


One for a photo of both Gifts


One for a photo of my fabulous husband

It's a BOY!!

For those who have not heard...we are having a boy!! All of us are very excited! Mariah took a few days to get used to the fact that she was not getting the sister she asked for but she is happy about the baby boy now!

Below are some recent pics of fun times!

We visited Chucky Cheese while at my parents in March

Mariah's favorite friend Bob the Builder

And now for some video of the final break into the great outdoors...spring is attempting to make an entrance in these parts. Mariah wanted to sing this song for Grandma but you can all enjoy too (turn up the volume a bit...she sings quietly).

Have a super week!

Be back in a week

We are off to FLORIDA for a whole week starting Saturday. CAN NOT WAIT FOR SUN!! It is less then 20 degrees here today and I just want warmth. So, when we return I will again post some fun! Sorry for lack of post....I have been feeling rather eh with this first half of the pregnancy.

I am almost 10 weeks in so hopefully in a few weeks I will get some energy back. Saw the doctor yesterday and he said all things are fine. I will update you more later!!

What is the hardest thing to clean in the kitchen?

COCOA POWDER!!! Holy Cow!! Write this down...DO NOT spill cocoa powder in your kitchen! It is VERY hard to clean up. Oh, and whatever you use to clean it up...yeah...you have to clean that too! Wow, what a night I had. Glad that is over.

Anyway, on to the real reason for this post. I went to my first baby doctor appointment today. We are due to have Baby Knapp on August 14. So excited!!!

So, how are all of you? Doing well I hope. If we don't chat before, have a wonderful and blessed Christmas with your families.

Early Christmas present

We got an early Christmas present in our house....I am pregnant!! We are so excited. Of course Mariah is constantly talking about being the big sister and having a baby in the house. She says good morning to the belly every morning and even gives kisses. I know it will wear off soon when she realizes baby has 9 months until he/she comes. Oh well, for now we will just rejoice in our early gift from God!!

Just wanted to share! Hope you are all doing well.
