Aquarium

We took the kids to the aquarium this afternoon. Evie didn't seem very interested in looking at the fish, but Jay was running from tank to tank yelling "wooooow!" and "whooooa! Pish!" (Yes, he says "pish" instead of "fish.") Pretty sure he loved it. Unfortunately he moves too quickly from one place to another, so we didn't get many pictures, and somehow didn't get ANY of him with the otters or penguins in view.

Mother and Daughter

There is a picture of my mom holding me when I was a baby that has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. It is a beautiful picture. I stumbled across it on my computer earlier today and decided, spur of the moment, to recreate it with me holding Evie. It's not perfect, but I think we did a pretty good job. And I think both of these pictures will be forever dear to my heart.

Christmas 2011

We got to spend this Christmas in Arizona with my family and it was so nice to be there and hang out with them! I also got to talk to my brother Jared, who is currently on a mission in Mexico, so that was awesome. I miss him.

We mostly spent our time hanging out, eating, and watching the kids ride around on little cars in the back yard. It was a little hectic, as both of my children were screaming disasters a lot of the time, but it was nice none-the-less. Any vacation is a good vacation, especially when family is involved!

Here are some pictures from the week.



The awesome hat was a Christmas present from Kayla and fam. LOVE IT.

Thanksgiving 2011

Well, we made our first long trip with the kiddos to Oregon for Thanksgiving this year. We had initially not planned on going but decided last minute to surprise everyone (Thanks Sumo and Dani for keeping quiet). The kids did great on the ride and we had a blast.

Oh Christmas Tree! The story of getting this thing in the house is now known as 'The Birth of the Tree'.

Alright chumps, let's do this!

We had a great time and are truly thankful for our families. Happy Thanksgiving!

Baby #2 - Make your guess!

Now that I'm almost 38 weeks along (and feeling like a whale), let's make some guesses about baby #2! Make a comment on this post with your guesses on:

Date she will arrive
Time she will arrive
Weight
Height
And anything else you want to throw in (Will she come out a boy instead of a girl? 6 fingers on one hand? Webbed toes? Hey, anything is possible!)

Good luck!
