36 weeks

Baby girl is definitely growing!  I'm 36 weeks in this picture.  I am now on weekly doctor visits.  So far it's looking like I'll stick with my trend of post due date deliveries.  Anything can happen in the next 4 weeks, but I'm not counting on her coming early. 

She is still a very active baby, which at times can be painful!  She also gets the hiccups almost on a daily basis.  She prefers to get them at night a few minutes after I climb into bed. 

No name yet!  Any suggestions? 

32 Weeks

Time is sure flying by!  Here I am at 32 weeks. 

 

Kayla snuck in there right at the end.  I am definitely feeling large and uncomfortable.  Only 8 more weeks to go! 

25 Weeks

I haven't been very good about taking pregnancy photos of myself this time around.  I have been sick quite a bit with this pregnancy, so generally I don't look very cute.  Sundays tend to be the only day where I look somewhat cute.  Hopefully I can remember to take a picture after church before I put my pajamas back on.  :-)   

Here's a picture of me at 25 weeks.   

Baby Ultrasound

On December 13, we went in for the 20 week ultrasound.  It's always fun for me to be able to see the baby and put a little face to all the wiggles I feel.   

 

 And after seeing all the adorable little body parts, we were lucky enough to find out the gender: 

Another baby girl!  Poor Carson was sad about not having a brother, but he has warmed up to the idea of another sister.  Can't wait to meet this little one in just a few months!   

Christmas 2013

We had a really fun Christmas this year!  We were able to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning at our house, then we went to my parents for a few days to spend time with my family.   

 

The kids were able to see Santa at a ward Christmas Party

Our Elf decided to take pictures of himself with each of the kids before he went back to the North Pole

Since he is so sneaky, he did it while they were sleeping. 

Then he left a copy of each picture by the kids stockings.  It was a fun treat for them! 

Some after present pictures at our house



Present time at Grandma and Grandpa's house! 

Not the best picture of me, but it's one of the few we have.  Getting chubby! 

Mallory, Justin and baby Kaylee were able to be there this year!

This little one has learned to walk and was very fun to watch toddle around the house

I love this picture!  It reminds me of a picture of Carson and Landon

 

Christmas outfit pictures!  Abby in her new dress

Love these girls! 

Carson got a new white shirt and tie. 

Merry Christmas everyone! 

November in 1 post

I am trying really hard to get caught up on the blog.  So in an effort to do so, here is our November all in one blog post! 

November 2: Free Monster Pancakes day at IHOP (it was originally supposed to be on Halloween, but they had some issues that day and had to close, so they honored it all weekend)

November 4: Here I am at 15 weeks pregnant.  This was a very rare day when I was feeling good, so I actually got dressed that day!  Which is also another reason why this is the first pregnancy picture I have bothered taking. 

November 9: A certain little girl found some of my lipstick and decided to give it a try

November 12: Abigail's class was celebrating 50s Day at school and she really wanted to wear a poodle skirt that day

Me, being the super cool mom that I am, went out the day before and bought all the stuff to make this skirt for her.  Thank goodness for awesome online tutorials! 

November 15: Carson's 2nd grade class was having their Fall Enrichment (they aren't allowed to officially have parties, so they call them enrichments).  Each class was doing a different activity.  His class was writing letters to the troops.  My job was to hand out stickers.  :-)   



It was really fun to be in his class and see all the cool things he is learning/working on.  He is in a reading group with a few other kids in the class and it's like a mini book-club.  They read fun chapter books and discuss them.  He loves it! 


 

November 26: Abigail's class had their Thanksgiving Feast.  Each kindergarten class made a "feast" of chicken nuggets, biscuits, chocolate pudding, peas, popcorn and trail mix.  They also tie dyed shirts to look like deer skin shirts, made pilgrim hats and Indian head bands, necklaces, and made drums.  It's a big event and I was lucky enough to get to attend/help! 

Each child got to say what they were thankful for.  Abigail said she was thankful for her fish. 

All the kids chose an Indian name.  Abby chose "Happy Bunny."
