Wow- So much to post about I don't even know where to start! I'm not sure where the time has gone, but it has flown by! I can't believe only 6 more weeks until our 2nd little dude is here! We've been up to lots of fun things, but i haven't been very good about taking pictures, so here are the few we have to document our fun- Beware, it is a long post!
In Feb, Jeff and I went to Sun Valley for a long weekend for the annual company trip- It was a blast! We went on a snowmobiling adventure to Stanley for a day- Jeff found this amazing blue one piece snowsuit in a store in Sun Valley- Love it!!!
I wouldn't recommend riding 7 months pregnant- I had been feeling dizzy and barfy all weekend, and the snowmobile didn't help! Good thing I had the backrest and my own handles to hang onto as my daredevil hubby took us flying down the trails!!
We stopped on the way to Stanley at Redfish lake- It was amazing to see it in the winter- There were snowmobile tracks going across the lake, but we decided not to be that daring!
2 days after we got back from Sun Valley, I went to Bryce Canyon, UT for a quilt retreat(more about that later) this is Max and Jeff helping me get loaded in the car for my adventure-
Max has always loved being outside, but now that he is so independent and can run and play, he REALLY loves being outside! He's such a little stud!!
Max got his first ride on a motorcycle with daddy- I think he was a little nervous at first, but he loved it!
Jeff can't wait til our boys are grown up enough to really go riding with him!
Max has become such a little helper and loves to be involved in whatever is going on- He thought it was fun watching me make rolls and watching the mixer stir everything-
I am selling Scentsy and Max loves to play with the tester scents and is always wanting to smell them- He doesn't quite understand how to smell them yet, so he breathes out really hard and then sucks in through his mouth- So funny to watch!
I am not a fan of belly shots, but here I am at 36 weeks pregnant- Our midwife says we are measuring just right, but to plan on another 8 to 9 lb baby- I'm starting to get really nervous for all that is coming- labor, recovery, and most of all 2 little boys! So I just try not to think about any of it! One of these days though, my bliss that is coming from denial will quickly be gone.
Carrying Max is something that has gotten tougher and tougher! He is such a big boy! He doesn't understand the whole baby in Mommy's belly thing, but he likes to pat my belly!
Max has little buckets that he loves to have his 'treats' in. (Cheerios and Fruit loops) It's probably a bad habit, but if he's getting grouchy, we tell him to go find his bucket and we'll give him some treats- He always runs to find it and immediatly goes to the pantry door and waits for us to put some cereal in his bucket- Funny funny!
Today I was putting cheese in bags to freeze, and of course Max wanted to be in on the action. He loves standing on my flour bucket and he got to munch on a cookie and cheese today while I was busy- Gracie was busy anticipating the food that Max would drop-
After going to the retreat, I have been so motivated to get some of my projects done- Thank you Grandma for having us come down!!! This is a bag that I've been wanting to make for a long time and I just finished it the other day- Love it!
The inside- Perfect for a diaper bag or just a fun tote!
My Grandma wanted her daughters, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters who had any interest in sewing to come down for the retreat that she has been doing for 17 years- This was the first year any family went and took classes- There were 8 of us there and it was SO fun to go have a girls week! I will definetly be going again! Jeff was amazing and kept Max for the week so I could just go and enjoy myself- This is one of the classes that I took and I finished it about a week after I got home- One of my first projects to actually be finished!!!
This one I saw done up at the retreat and came home and wanted to try it- Its called an Antique Baby Quilt- I love it!!! I'll be making many more of these!
Here's a close up of the cute fabrics and the back-

Your projects turned out very cute! I'm anxious to do my vintage baby quilt too, but Craig wants me to finish the projects I already have going first. :) How is your slice and dice quilt coming?
Love the projects...so cute!! And you look great! Crazy to think that you are almost to the end. Yay!
Sounds like you guys have had a very fun and eventful little while. Crazy that you guys are due soon. We are due with our little boy on May 13th. Isn't that close to yours? Glad to hear that life is still going awesome for the Barnes family. Good job on your quilts and I'm totally jealous about the snowmobiling adventure.

So many things to comment on...
Cute Max, cute projects and cute pregnant girl.
Fun to see all of the pictures. The quilts are even cuter in real life.
