Girl!

We're having another GIRL! I will post pictures of the ultrasound once they are scanned. Happy new Year and I hope to be a better blogger come 2012.

Temple Square Lights

We took the kids to Temple Square in Salt Lake this evening. It was pretty chilly, but we had fun! We warmed up with Hot Cocoa afterwards.

Oranges and Ornaments

Each year I can hardly wait to decorate our tree with the homemade ornaments made by my husbands Grandma B. A tradtion started the year my husband was born 30+ years ago. She has over 100 grandchildren and great grandchildren combined. She is the mother of 13 children. Amazing woman.
Now onto oranges. I crave these like no other when I'm pregnant. Needless to say I keep my fridge well stocked with them because I can eat 2 a day and my day is just not complete without an orange.

A Snow Storm

Is heading our way May 10th 2012. More like a Snow Angel than a snow storm :) Look at his/her leg! So cute. We saw the baby kicking while this screenshot was taken. It was awesome.
I have been unbelievably sick since the beginning of September but I think its going bye bye!

Sewing Projects

A Market Tote Bag and a Journal/Notebook Cover. I am taking sewing lessons. I've already taught myself a bit over the years, but having one on one lessons is helping me advance more quickly at sewing. I love it!

Beautiful Hannah
Finding eggs with cousins

I just love the look on his face! So serious! Go to find them eggs.

Bread & Art

"Nauvoo Bread" brought to by this website "Historic Nauvoo"
My little artists at work!

Dress up and our Garden

Mom is so proud of her super hero.
This boy has an imagination all his own! He came up and shook our hands and said "Hi I'm Gannondorf" (you know the bad guy from Zelda?) He supplies never ending entertainment.

This is how Hannah eats dinner. We need to teach her some manners ;0). Just too cute to not take a photo of.

Lastly, here are some plants we are starting indoors. From left to right: A gourd, 2 strawberry plants, a zinnia flower, carrots, and romaine lettuce.
We already have 8 pea pods growing outside that are 2 inches in height.
We will plant more next month. Happy planting to us!

Hannah's Dress

{front}
{back}

I shared my dye with my cousin so I just dyed this dress for Hannah, a hat, and a bag. The dress turned out the cutest. I need my mother in law to teach me how to Tye dye. How about when we are back in Iowa this summer Mom? It was really fun. Doing it again! I got my supplies from Dharma Trading Co. The best dyes etc.

Sugar House Park

Went to Sugar House Park. The kids loved every minute of it. Hannah really loves slides. We are looking forward to warmer weather ahead. If it would only get here already.

Old Video's

How did I miss these ones?

"I love to see the Temple"

Matthew & I got to go to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple (LDS). It was lovely! We got to spend 4 hours without kids in tow. We went to lunch and then bought Matthew some new work pants @ JC Penney's.

When the weather finally gets better here (its snowing lots), we are planning on taking the kids to Temple Square.

Gardner's & Conference

I love my kids!


These kids LOVE dirt!

Coloring









Snuggle time with Mom while we watch.



Attentive listener


After Conference/Dinner Snack. Sorry my son has no pants on...
We really enjoyed Conference. I mean really enjoyed it. What a blessing. I am looking forward to being a better person because of it. We knew Ben Benn was listening at times, especially when he heard words like "treasure" "captain Moroni", "prophet" etc. He really loved seeing images of the Temple Square and "his" temple. Don't worry President Monson, this kid Loves the temple already and can't wait to go inside someday.
