Happy Birthday Great Grandma Mac!

Today we celebrated Great Grandma's 83rd Birthday.  It was great to see the aunts, uncles, and cousins and of course Great Grandma.  Here are some pics from the day!

Girls night OUT - with Hunter Hayes

It's been a little over a year since I took Audrey to see Hunter Hayes and Carrie Underwood for her first concert.  The tickets are so inexpensive and it was a good mom/daughter outing so when they announced that HH would be coming back, of course I thought it would be a great idea to take her especially since her little sister would be arriving shortly there after.   Grandma E's birthday falls on April 9th and she loves a good concert when she can get someone to take her:) so she came along as an early birthday present.

HH didn't disappoint.  I think every teeny bopper and little girl in Toledo was there!  It was a great show!  Dan and Shay & Danielle Bradberry opened for him and HH played for over 2 hours.  Most of the music was off of his new CD which we weren't quite familiar with but he moved all around the venue and even left the stage and performed 2 songs right below us on a little mini stage.  Very cool....

One of Audrey's favorite songs....

She wanted her hair curled and cowboys boots on!

HH is an active little guy...he was breaking a sweat after 2 songs!

Audrey and HH....

36 Weeks, 3 to go!

This is by far the hardest part of pregnancy.  Energy is at an all time low and this little girl is running out of room!  As you can tell, she has not "dropped" and is still pretty high.  My ribs can confirm this :).  We are now down to weekly Dr. appointments along with ultrasounds and non-stress tests.  So far, blood work looks good as doea all of the other tests.  Now to put the finishing touches on the room, wash some clothes and blankets, and stock up on groceries.

I've been cranking out renewals at work and if I've timed everything just right...should have just a few loose ends to tie up my last week in the office.  Hard to believe that we are almost there!!!

3D Pic comparisons

Despite the snow storm last Wednesday, I still made it to my Dr. appointment with the specialist I have been seeing (precautionary) at the Toledo Hospital.  Lucky for us they have 3D capabilities on their ultrasound.  I had 3D pics of both the other kids but had been debating whether to spend the $80 for a 15 minute session and run the risk of the baby not cooperating (then you are just SOL).

So here is what I saw!

Baby #3 @ 35 weeks 

Chubby cheeks and the Geletka "scowl"

Hard to believe in 3 more short weeks she will be HERE!

There is no denying she is one of us!!

Our Winter Weekends

I would have never guessed in a million years that we would still be faced with Level 3 snow advisory's in March!  So Wed. the entire city basically shut down.  Just as I was getting ready to walk out the door for work, the Sherriff hit us with a Level 3.  I decided to brave the elements knowing the roads weren't that bad yet and during the peak of the storm I would still be at the office plowing through the piles of files that occupy my desk.  It is amazing how much progress can be made when the office is closed and nobody is there!

So Wed. we got hit with about 10 inches of snow then by Saturday, temps were in the high 40's.  Ben had to work, so I fed the kids and got the heck out of the house!  What better place to go then the zoo...It seriously is the best kept secret for days when the weather is 40-60 degrees.  There are not only ton of indoor exhibits but barely any people there and the animals know it!  The past couple of times we have gone the kids have had the best experiences, seeing the animals up close and personal.  It is almost as if the animals are craving attention and after this winter who can blame them!

First stop...Polar Bear and Seal Exhibit.

We spent the most time watching the monkey's.  Anderson talks about them constantly but wouldn't even pose for a pic!  The kids enjoyed watching them chase each other and sharing their treats from snack time.

Family Pic!  Anderson was afraid to take his eyes of off this guy!

This was the highlight of our Sunday.  It barely hit 20 degrees so our choices were limited but a quick trip to the store followed up by frozen yogurt...Oh yeah!

Last weekend we did catch the last UT Men's Basketball Game.  This was Andersons first official College Basketball game.  The kids sat for the entire game and it was a good one!  The Rockets ended up winning to tie for first place in the MAC.  It certainly helps when you have seats that are 5 rows from center court.  Audrey even scored a T-shirt!

YouTube overload!

While cleaning up the IPAD and my phone I came across some videos that never quite made it to the blog so here they are!

This winter has been never ending and to say we are getting a little "stir crazy" would be an understatement.  I hate to be so reliable on the TV to keep the kids entertained but we have literally run out of things to do!

I finally broke down and bought FROZEN on the apple TV a few weeks back before it was released on DVD and it has been a life saver!  The kids can not get enough of this movie and it buys me 1 hr and 42 minutes of sanity each day on the weekend.

I caught Anderson during his own little game of panty toss.....too funny!

Last week I finally was able to get a 3D pic of our baby girl.  Audrey was excited...Anderson...well he thought I was showing him pictures of a moneky...go figure!

Our kids are junk food addicts.  They totally get this from me but at least I can go a meal without chasing it with something sweet. These kids on the other hand...it has become an expectation.  They are very possessive when it comes to their desserts.  Especially Anderson.
