Todd and Fisher found some caterpillars in the back yard.
And while one caterpillar is good, two is even better.
Although Fisher was fairly gentle with them, I am sure these caterpillars wished they were anywhere but where they were. I would have if I were them.
After dropping them numerous times we finally convinced him it was time for them to go home to eat their dinner.
Who knew that caterpillars were capable of letting out sighs of relief? Home free at last.
These are nothing more than a bunch of Fisher pictures.
He finally fits into his "Future Fisherman" hat. Fisher is actually named after the sport of fishing. Todd loves to fly fish and I finally agreed to the name. Baby #2 is still nameless and will probably continue to be so until he is born. We have a middle and last name- it is just the first name that seems to evade us.
He loves to be helpful however he can. Todd was spraying weeds one day and Fisher wanted to help so we gave him a water bottle to help spray with. This was actually the day of Thunder Over Louisville which we once again did not attend. We still have two more before we leave Louisville so we figure we will make it to at least one of them. For those of you not familiar with Thunder it is the kick off event for the Kentucky Derby which includes an all day air show and the largest fireworks display in North America which takes place off one of the bridges over the Ohio River.
We've enjoyed the beautiful weather that spring has brought us this year. Too bad summer is approaching. As I have mentioned about a gazillion times on this blog- I do not do Louisville summers. I hate humidity.
Fisher insisted on sleeping in his crown one night. This week he has woken up in the 6:00 hour about four times. Not cool.
Helping out in the kitchen as he loves to do.
I have been looking for a way to organize my earrings for the longest time. They have been living, unhappily, in a plastic bag, beating up on each other every time I reach in to grab a pair. Thankfully my sister-in-law had a great idea- one that I was more than wiling to copy :) Thanks Erin!
Fisher went on his first official egg hunt this year and loved it.
He would pick up an egg and shake it to make sure there was something inside.
Showing his goods.
Debating whether or not to start opening the eggs.
Having a serious conversation with his Sunbeam teacher. Sunday is a new and interesting challenge at church but Fisher seems to be adjusting to his new teachers. This past week he was the best I have seen him yet.
Happy Easter!
The kids all had such a great time. The hunt was at our Bishop's house and they happen to have the most amazing yard for kids that I have ever seen. Here he crawling through "a tunnel" which was for their garden.
As you can see, there was no shortage for him to play with.
He was bounced on this spring platform thing they had, although that freaked him out a little.
Once a lot of the kids left I finally let him get on the trampoline. He loves trampolines.
He did a lot of swinging.
Bishop was nice enough to give Fisher a couple rides on the zip line they have running across the yard. He did a mini version of the ride since he struggled gripping for long periods of time.

Easter Sunday- Thirty weeks. (Now I'm 31 wks) It sounds so far along but then I think about how that still means ten more weeks. I am already feeling uncomfortable and huge...ten weeks is a long ways away when I think about the fact that I am going to be growing the whole time. Good news is that I passed my glucose test. Bad news is my blood count was low and I have to start taking iron supplements. 
Here are a few pictures from Easter morning. I have so many pictures that I am trying to catch up on which is the reason for the constant posting.
On Saturday I had asked Fisher if he knows why we celebrate Easter and his reply, with a sly little smile, was "Snowmen!" We worked a little bit on that.
This year we bought (I mean to say the Easter Bunny bought) a pre-packaged basket. This was wonderful because it saved me and Todd from the endless bags of candy that we would have eaten. I did not buy one bag of candy this Easter.
Everything is turned into some sort of musical instrument.
On Sunday we talked to Fisher more about Jesus and the resurrection. We explained that because of Jesus we will be able to live with our families forever. He looked at me and said "I don't want to live with my family." Yet one more thing to work on. How to make your three old like you so that the concept of eternal families is appealing :)
Later on in the day I found Fisher whispering to our statue of Jesus. When he noticed we were watching him he informed us that Jesus was talking to him. We asked him what Jesus was saying. "That I am being a good boy!"
Last week Fisher and I made a quick road trip to Charlotte to visit my brother and his family. I was a little nervous driving without Todd, with a three year old, a bad back and being 7.5 months pregnant but Fisher was awesome for both of the eight hour drives.
Charlotte is only a few miles from South Carolina so we made sure to cross the border to say that we had been there. 
One of the main reasons we went to N.C is because I wanted to see Steve & Katrina's new place and of course my new little niece, Emery. Todd and I saw Chandler at the hospital when he was born when they still lived in Indiana and it made me sad that I had not seen Emery yet and she was already three months old.
Emery is so cute. I love her rolls and chubby little cheeks! Seeing how good Chandler was around her gave me hope for Fisher when the baby comes.
Fisher had so much fun playing with his cousin, Chandler who is 11 months younger. They have similar temperaments and got along as well as can be expected at two and three. One of Fisher's first questions every morning was "Is Chandler awake?"
Steve was able to work from home for the couple of days we were there which gave Fisher and me the chance to spend more time with him. It was good to see him. Lately I have been missing all of my brothers, now that we are spread out across the country, so it was nice to get the chance to see him.
They have woods out behind their house where the little boys loved to play. Steve was nice enough to take them out while he did a little yard work.
Fisher really liked Emery and was fascinated by little things such as her not having any teeth and hair. He also thought it was funny that she did not talk. One day he did say that he did not want her to be his cousin anymore but soon thereafter he changed his mind. There was another time that he was really concerned about the fact that she was crying. In his prayers that night he prayed that the baby would stop crying.
Even a three month old deserve a good growl every now and then.
Fisher driving on the track giving me his favorite pose.
Although Fisher liked the cars, he was especially interested in the birds that were flying around.
Katrina was an excellent hostess. She drove us around the city, cooked excellent meals, cleaned up after our messes and had her own two year old and three month old to deal with. Thanks to Katrina & Steve for letting us invade your space. It was a fun time.
I have another post coming up that has pictures of Fisher & Chandler. These are the bleachers right outside the winner's circle where the previous picture was taken. The boys would have stayed there longer if we would have let them.
The boys had a lot of fun playing in the planters outside. 
And releasing.
Fisher started peddling like a champ on his bike. 
All in all we had a great time, ate great food, saw new places and spent time with family. Thanks again Steve & Katrina!
