Our Newest Addition - Brooklyn Marie!

Here are some very late pictures.  Sorry!  Posting has not been on the top of my priority list obviously.  But right now I have a sleeping baby and 2 kids to preschool so I have about an hour to myself!  Now, sleep or shower.....?  Here is our Brooklyn Marie.  She was born on 12/8 at 5:45 PM.  8 lbs 14 oz. and 22 1/4 in.  Our biggest baby!  She is being loved more than she can handle sometimes by her big brother and sister.  We are working on the sleep thing and getting used to having a baby around and how long it takes to get anything done, but love having her here. 

38 weeks and counting!

I have been dragging my feet on posting a picture of me prego.  I am not a fan of prego pics, but my sis. was bugging me to post one the other day.  So, here you go Amy!  Hopefully I won't look like this much longer.  Mom is hoping I have the baby on her birthday and Ryan's cousin's birthday is today and said I could have the baby today too.  Should we start making bets of when she will come?

Halloween - pumpkin carving

We had our good friends over to cut and decorate pumpkins for Halloween.  We had lots of fun watching the kids squirm when they touched the pumpkin "guts"! 

Catch up - Ryan's Birthday

Ryan had his birthday at the end of October.  We went to a Halloween party with some friends that night, which was a lot of fun.  And I attempted my second 3 layer cake.  Needless to say, looking at the picture, I can bake other things like cinnamon rolls by scratch, but obviously not do 3 layer cakes.  I told him this was the last year I am attempting anything like this.  It tasted great, yummy german chocolate cake, but it was pretty pathetic looking.  Sorry!  Happy Birthday Ryan.  We love you!

"M" Family pictures

I was able to take some pictures of some of my great friends a while ago.  We had great weather and beautiful scenery.  Thanks again for letting me take these!

Hawaii!!

Leah and I took a last minute sisters' trip to Hawaii end of Sept.  We stayed in Waikiki, and visited North Shore and saw the LDS Hawaii Temple, BYU Hawaii, The Polynesian Cultural Center, the Dole Pineapple Plantation, got snow cones twice at Matsumoto's (they have these big, very flavorful snow cones with sweet and condensed milk on top or vanilla ice cream in the bottom; the ice cream is a better addition!), saw some pretty cool waves, hung out and caught some Hawaiian rays at the beach, slept when we wanted, ate when we wanted and just got to hang out and relax.  Thanks again for taking me!!  It was a lot of fun! 

Happy 3rd!

I am late, again, in posting.  Ma had her 3rd birthday at the end of September.  Grammy M. made her an adorable dress (which I wish I could fit into!! and sorry I didn't get a better pic. of her in it.  I will work on that!) that she wore to church that week.  Can you tell she loves her baby dolls?  I think we might be in trouble with this next baby!  She will be a good little mother/sister.   Happy Birthday Ma!  We love you and all of your craziness.
