Gingerbread House

I have never made a gingerbread house so I thought it would be a fun Christmas activity to do this year. Aleecia had fun and made it look fabulous!

All I want for Christmas. .

I felt it was time to take out the Christmas decorations.

Aleecia wrote down what she wanted for Christmas. David is most proud of the last item on the list. Every time we go to walmart Aleecia sees the pink .22 on display and wants it.

We have these reindeer that we put out in the yard each year. Aleecia made them all little beds to sleep in.

New ultrasound pictures

Here's the little Alien thats been moving inside of me. Does she look more like Dave or me?

Nursery

Now that we know the gender of the baby we decided to get the nursery ready. Aleecia wanted to help us paint so with a lot of resistance we let her paint.

As you can see she did a pretty good job and she had a lot of fun. Here is what the nursery looks like now. We still need a few more finishing touches.

It's a. . . . .

It's another GIRL!!! We are so excited to have another precious girl in our family. Aleecia is excited to have a sister. I didn't think she would be able to tell the ultrasound was a baby but she shows me her head and her body in each picture. Every morning lately she wakes me up by finding my belly and cuddling her sister. I love this picture of her stretching her little legs out. When I feel her the most this is what it feels like she is doing to me. I have another ultrasound scheduled for the 7th of Nov. I can't wait to see my baby again!

Adriannas Birthday Party

Every year for my nieces birthday she has a costume party. I love it because I get to see everyone in their costumes. Last year for Halloween Aleccia was a puppy. I made her costume big enough so she could wear it again this year. Well, that was the plan until we went shopping with grandma and found a unicorn costume. Aleecia feel in love with the costume and wore it throughout the store. When it was time to go Aleecia put on her puppy face that grandma cannot resist so, grandma had to get her the costume. So, this year Aleecia will be a princess riding a pink unicorn.

Here is a picture of Aleecia and a couple of her cousins at Adrianna's Party.

Halloween Fun!

I love Halloween time! We always have so much fun carving pumpkins. Last year Aleecia didn't like taking the guts out of the pumpkins this year she didn't mind as much. I just noticed Davids face in this picture. HaHaHa.

New Do

David and I got sick of struggling with Aleecia everyday just to brush her hair. So, I called my good friend Amy and cut her hair off.

Thanks Amy we love the new do!

Utah Olympic Park

For my brothers 17th Birthday we all went to the Utah Olympic Park to go bobsledding. Of course David was too afraid, Aleecia was too young, and I was too pregnant to ride so we got to wittness my brothers bobsled. Man I wish I could have done this!

My Brothers having the time of their lives!

The closest Aleecia got to riding the bobsled.

Utah State Fair

Aleecia and I wanted to go to the fair and since we had free tickets we went. Riding the Ponies is always Alecia's favorite thing at the fair. My favorite thing is the giant pig but he wasn't there this year. What ever happened to the pig??? David said he probably died and feed the whole state of Idaho. Who knows.

Aleecia riding her pony like a natural.

This big cow was at the fair last year. This picture doesn't give it justice to as how big it really is. According to the info on the cow it weighs the same as our boat. That's a whole lot of meat!

PROUD HUBBY

Okay so many of you may be saying what is this for. Well, my husband sighted in his deer rifle and was so proud of how well he did that he has his target posted on my fridge! He is just like a kid proud of their school work.

Aleecia's first day of school.

Aleecia started school Sept. 2nd. She was so excited to finally go to school. Before I dropped her off she asked me if I was gonna cry. I told her no even though after I got a little teary eyed. She loves her teacher Mrs. Wallis. It took us a minute to teach her to say Mrs. Wallis, she kept calling her Ena Wallis.

Baby!

Baby #2 is on its way! This ultrasound was taken at 6 weeks 5 days. Aleecia is so excited to have a baby brother or sister. When we told her we were having another baby she gave me a big hug and told me she was proud of me!
