Fun in the Snow

Ok, call me a California girl, but I'm done with the snow. I'm ready for the warmth, which unfortunately doesn't begin here until April/May. I'm a spring time girl and it doesn't last very long around these parts. Last year was awful so I'm praying this year will be different. The kids love the snow, but when you think of it, even though they were born in California they've spent most of there lives in this snowy weather, that or they have there grandpa's genes. I will have to admit living in Utah has been a lot better than Idaho when it comes to the weather. At least we don't have the chilling wind to deal with. I am thankful for that.

Look at our baby now!

I'm 13 weeks today, 1 more week and I'm done with my first trimester, Yeah!
It's crazy to see how a baby develops every week. I can't wait to feel that first kick.

12 weeks now!

So I'm 12 weeks pregnant now and I wish I were 24 weeks. I'm a very impatient person and aren't too good with this part of the pregnancy. I just feel fat and tired all the time. Even though I know there's a baby in there my mind tells me I'm just fat and eating too much. In another month I will hopefully be feeling Landon/London and I'll remember why I'm this big. I was lucky enough to take this picture before our camera battery totally died which is why we haven't been blogging lately. We lost our charger and have to buy a new one. Anyhow we will buy a new one and I will blog every month to show my tummy progress.

Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Man it started snowing Tuesday and hasn't stopped. No wait, yesterday it stopped but today it started again and hasn't stopped. The kids love it because they get to play in it, but me I just like staying at home where it's nice and warm! Hot Coco anyone?

Santa Claus is coming to Town!

So the funniest thing happened this last Sat.night. Jon's on the phone, and Maddy and I are in the bathroom getting her ready to take her nightly shower while I'm talking to her dad to find out flight info for next Sat. Anyhow, all of a sudden the doorbell rings, and we hear jingle bells and a "HO HO HO!". Maddy's eyes lite up, and I said "Maddy I think Santa is here." I went out to look and he was. So I got off the phone and tried to help Maddy get dressed again. She was so excited, and said " Mommy, is it really him!" She still to this day can't believe he came to her house. I told her he probably knew that she wasn't going to be here for Xmas so he made a special trip just for her. She felt so special, she couldn't even think of what she wanted when he asked. Once he left she had to call everyone. It was a great experience for all of us.

Grandma came to visit!

So my mom came to visit us this last week, and we all really enjoyed it. It went by fast and we didn't want her to leave but she had to go back to my dad and brothers. She really liked Orem, and said it was very beautiful. We are in the middle of mountains so the scenery is a plus. Hopefully more family can come next time since were easier to get to now.

The Beautiful Temple lights

This is the wonderful part of living here, we don't have to drive so far to Salt Lake anymore to see the beautiful lights at Temple Square.
It was great, we took the train, had hot chocolate and felt the spirit.

God only gives us what we can handle

It looks like I'm having one baby. We have to admit the thought of having twins sounding fun. But one is fine with us as long as it's healthy. We are grateful for whatever God gives us.

Memory Tag

Here's how it works:

1) Add a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2) Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Just for FUN!

Thanksgiving with Friends

Thanksgiving this year was a lot of fun. We didn't have any family come and see us but The Clarks are the closest thing to family we have here and for that we are very Thankful. Jon cooked the turkey and yams and they provided the rest. It was our very best friends Grant and Gabby and their kids Frankie and Drew. Grants Parents: Bob and Doreen and Grants brother and sister in law visiting from Vegas and their kids. So we had a house full which was great! We have never had a house full since weve been together, we always hoped for it with family and all but being so far away it was never possible. Maybe someday.
