Cousin!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!  So...we've been dying to share the great news that the girls will be getting a new cousin sometime in September!  Yup, that's right, Shane (Ryan's bro) and Jody are expecting and we're SOOOO excited for them!!! (and Ry and I are so excited to have a niece/nephew that will live so close!)  The girls are going to be 3 little mothers I can tell already.  They ask about Jody's baby all the time and they are placing bets on whether it's a girl or a boy.  As of today, we have 2 guesses for girl and one for boy.  We will see!  Last week Jody told them that her baby was about the size of an apple.  So then when we had a playdate with one of Ryan's coworkers kids on Friday and I told them a new baby was coming over, the girls asked if it was as big as an apple too. :) They are full of questions and anticipation.  This little one has been prayed for for a long time already and we can't wait to see another little Dooyema running around here.  So fun!

Here's a pic of Emily, Addison, and Hailey ready for church this a.m. in their dresses from Great Aunt Pauline :) Thanks a bunch Pauline!  They love twirling in them! The pic just makes me see how much taller Addy is getting!  The dresses are all the same size and look how much higher Addison's is!  She seriously eats like her dad and many times eats more than I do.  She is a growing girl!! :) 

On another note, WE ARE READY FOR SPRING!   And Wisconsin is just messing with us.  Last Sunday it was 84.  This Sunday it's 40.  We try to teach the girls about the four seasons and they are so confused and I think they think we don't know what we're talking about because we tell them it's Spring...and then it snowed yesterday and they said "MOOOOMMM....it's WINNNNTEER" as if they know better than me. :) Hopefully it warms up for good pretty soon as life is just EASIER in the warm weather!!  We all LOVE it outside!

We stayed in all weekend and hung low.  Here's a pic of us having a family movie night.  Toy Story 3 is really cute! :) 

and playing games....  by the way, trying to play any game like this with three 3 year olds is tricky.  It usually starts out pretty well.....but by the 3rd time around, the game changes into their rules and their way of playing.  All of the sudden spinning the wheel on "High Ho 

Cherry-o" became "who wants a cherry milkshake?"  So the actual "game" playing doesn't last very long.   Here they are each making their cherry milkshakes...
So then we thought we'd try making a mini-golf course in the house.  Ry would love it if the girls developed a love for golf.  Helping Addy with her form...
taking turns..
And we've been seeing lots of wild life in our yard lately.  Here's a turkey running away from me in our backyard..
And here's 3 deer across the street from our mailbox.  We see them so often but somehow it never gets old.  :)

Hope you all have a wonderful Easter!
