Four to One

On February 2nd(ish), Andrew will be outnumbered four to one!!!! WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!!

Usually when we talk about baby sister, Angela insists that she also has a baby in her tummy. You can often find Angela walking around the house looking like this....

Everything looked good on the ultrasound. Our little sweety is always moving around and kicking...I love it! I am just so excited to meet our little sweetheart! I love my two little sweet princesses and I am excited to get another one :)

Storytime at the Firehouse

Every month the firehouses in our city do story time...awesome! We get a tour of the fire station, read a book, eat a yummy snack, talk to firefighters, see them in their attire, and get a close-up look at those awesome trucks. We went with some friends this month and it was so much fun!

I didn't get a picture of all our friends we went with to the station, but here are a few we shared the experience with.... They also sent us home with some goodies...pencils, coloring books, and their very own firefighter hat.
Carolyn's friend, Kaylen, trying on the hat- I couldn't' believe how heavy everything was that the firefighters wear - they said all their attire weighs about 50 lbs!
Angela and her good buddy, Tyler. Angela's most FAVORITE part of the whole experience was the juice box she got :) At the end of the day when we were sharing our highs and lows of the day, Angela very energetically told us that her happy part was "juice!" I think I know what I'm asking Santa to put in her stocking this year :)
Carolyn and one of her very best friends, Kaylen.
Let me know if any of you want to join us for another adventure to the firehouse...we want to go again....soon :)

100 Day Party

On Friday, we celebrated the 100 day countdown to Christmas!! YAY! We ate Christmasy food, listened to a lot of Christmas music, and had some fun Christmas activities.

Here Andrew and Carolyn are with our traditional 100 chain countdown to Christmas...we make this every year :) (thanks to Andrew - he's the best) Taking down the first loop of the year...
Pin the hat on Santa...

Dance Class!!

Today Carolyn started dance class! She did awesome and she just loves it! When I was first telling her about dance class a few weeks ago, she got so excited but then announced, "But I already know how to dance!"

I really had butterflies driving Carolyn to dance lessons today - I'm so excited for her! Look at that big smile in the previous picture - I love it!

What a beautiful ballerina! I loved watching her dance around...and she loved it, too!
As for now, Carolyn says her favorite is tap dancing. Those shoes are just too fun...
I wanted to take some pictures of my dancing Carolyn in her outfit, but she just wanted to be silly.


What a great day! We can't wait for lessons next week :)

BYU Football Game

We love it when the cougars come close so we can go to their games. Although it was a very sad game to watch, it was still fun to be able to go...we hope that they keep coming close to us now that they are independent.

Carolyn's picture she took of the field...we had great seats!!



Andrew's parents drove up here for the game - it was so fun to see them even though it was very brief! I am sad I didn't get any picture of them. But they were here and it was sooo wonderful to see them!!! Andrew carrying the girls to the stadium...where's his wife to lend a hand?
Throughout the game, Angela would put her baby on her head so that she could be sure that her baby could see all the action :) What a good mommy (I wish I looked cute with a dirty face).
It was fun...hopefully the cougars pull it together this season!
And, don't forget that today is the 100 day count down to Christmas!!! YAY!!!! We are having our Christmas party tomorrow! It will be so fun :) Christmas music, food, and games (like pin the hat on Santa - it will be fun!) Here are Carolyn's invitations to the party (the picture is a Christmas tree)...

Kim Reunion Picture

Proof that we were all together for the reunion.... Ponka and Nana with all their grandkids....

Two Babies

Angela could spend hours coloring and drawing every day. Here’s a little drawing she did yesterday that illustrates her favorite things to draw…I was pretty proud of her drawing!

So, if you know Angela, you could guess that she drew two babies. Little face, eyes, mouth, and the little scribbles above the head are bows :) What a little artist!

And, speaking of Angela and babies, every day I have new stories and example of Angela being our little mommy over here. One of my favorite stories is the other day Carolyn, Angela, and I were playing at the park. I was pushing Carolyn and Angela on the swings when Angela indicated that she wanted to get off the swing and for me to sit on a swing next to Carolyn. Then Angela proceeded to push Carolyn and me on the swings! It was sooo cute- she wanted to be the little mommy pushing people on the swing - not the one having fun on the swing. We love our little mommy over here.

PS- I am finally back to updating my preschool blog!
