Kiddo Update!

I have been so bad at keeping our blog updated! I'm so sorry for those of you who actually read it! Well, I'll be 26 weeks on Monday! We had our ultrasound a few weeks ago and everything looks great! We didn't find out what gender it is but we only have three months now so it won't be long! I don't have much to update since this has been a pretty easy pregnancy so far. I feel pretty good, sore here and there and tired most of the time but no serious complaints.

Samantha has been a busy girl! She loves coloring, reading, and playing with her baby doll. She's talking so much, even though we can't always understand her! She still doesn't quite understand that there is a baby in Mommy's tummy but she likes to poke at my big belly. It has been so cold that we've been staying inside as much as possible and its been driving her nuts! She loves going ourside and just running around. I can't wait for it to warm up so she can actually play outside and not freeze.

She fell asleep before we could even start family prayer!

Nothing is better than dancin' with Daddy!

The other day I let her sit on the floor to color instead of being at the table or on the couch with me. I was doing some cleaning but when I turned around she had disappeared! I heard her over by our front door so I went to see what she was doing and found her coloring on the wall! As frustrated as I was I couldn't help think about how we would look back at the pictures and think "Oh that was the first time Samantha colored on the wall!" I guess it was just another milestone for her!

Samantha's wall art!

Oh and just a side note/question...Who wins if the wish bone breaks like this?

Here we go again...

I'm finally getting around to updating this thing! Well Oue holidays were great! We spent Christmas with my family (it was a full house with all of us and our kids home!) and we spent New Years with Chris' sister Karey and her family! We were even able to see Chris' parents and little sister who came up from Nevada. We want to thank everyone for letting us stay with them and feeding us, as well as everyone for the great gifts and love which we recieved! We really enjoyed spending time with our family and especially spending time together! Last semester was atough one for us and it was good to get a little break! We are happy to be home now and excited that Chris' petition to take classes this semester was approved! He only needs two classes to get into the paramedic program next semester so they are letting him take classes so he won't have to wait another whole year to get in! He will have a usy and tough semester but we're so hapy to get these classes out of the way. Samantha continues to amaze us with her constant learning and growing! She has learned so many new things recently! We go for our ultrasound today and are super excited! (Even though we aren't going to find out if its a boy or girl!) We had to postpone it few weeks because of our trip to WA. I feel pretty good and I can't believe how fast thngs have been going. Here are some pictures from our trip, including an updated family picture!!

She loves her new doll and loves giving it kisses before laying it down for a nap!

He was bummed that we couldn't afford to go snowboarding so he used a sled and went down the hill at my parent's house, it was cute!

He can't wait to have a boy...hopefully it won't be long! This is my nephew Ty, he's three months.

It was so cute to see them all sitting together watching a movie... except Heidi got up just before we got this picture so she's missing.

Danica decided to share her snack with Samantha.

Matching jammies! Carl didn't want to wear his at first so he's not too happy!

The girls playin' in the snow! Samantha is the little one...

Uncle Chris and Ty

Finally a new family picture! We took it ourselves so I was happy with it.

They realy liked sticking their tongues out.

She was so funny! She loved sledding!

Daddy's boots are a little big!
