Bout time!

This is for the three people out there in blog land that still care!

Ok, so a lot has happened since the beginning of may:

May

Craig and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary, I love him!

We went camping with my family in Oklahoma and explored where my grandpa grew up.

June

Craig had a birthday

Annabelle turned 3! My baby is getting so big!

July

We found out we are expecting #3!

August

Still shock about the news from July!

September

Gretta turns 1 and starts walking!

We go to New York and Vermont to visit Craigs family

October

We go up to Dallas to visit my family and got to the BYU @ TCU game, even though we lost it was fun to hang out with the hubbs and some friends.

Halloween!

November

My older sister and her family came down for thanksgiving and brought one of my little sisters with them, and a friend flew in for the festivities as well.

December

Mostly getting ready for Christmas.

Christmas!!

Somewhere in there we found out we are having another girl. It's about 89% positive, so Craig is still holing out that its actually a boy! But we'll see! We are both excited though. I'm due mid february, hopefully she'll decide to come a little early for me! It has been interesting chasing my two girls around while growing another one, but we've been doing pretty good! They are excited about having a new sister to play with.

Park

We went to a park the other day with some good friends. Belle we so excited and asked if it was the "blue" one. I told her I didn't know what color it was, then she tilts her head to one side and says "Oh, is it yellow or somethin?" Too cute! I am so glad I have her! She is so much fun!

How clever are you?

My old roommate started this really cool blog. Its got links to free stuff and all kinds of coupons! You should check it out!

All grown up!

My baby eats food now. She LOVES it! I put the bib on her and the poor little thing spazes out before I get the spoon to her lips. The first time I feed her I wasn't sure how she would react, but she gobbled up the rice cereal and applesauce like a champ! She knows when its meal time and gets so excited to see her bib and spoon.

The other day I put a bowl of soup and bread in front of Belle and Gretta just stared and it and slurped her food. She wants REAL people food, in fact she wants it so much she is growing teeth already to get in on the action! Can you believe it? My baby is getting teeth and she isn't even five months yet!!! Belle was seven months when she got her first two, and didn't get anymore till she was almost a year!

How old were your kids when they got their teeth?

PS I can put her hair in a pony!

Beds

One night little Annabelle was lonely...So she wished upon a star, and poof!

A cohort in crime!

This is REALLY what mommy's bed is for!!

I LOVE my girls!

Conversations with a two-year-old

Annabelle informed me the other day that "I am going to get married in the temple too! Like you!" It makes me so happy that she listens!

She also told me that she was sad when I left her to come down here, but she played with Gretta so they were happy. It makes me wonder what/who else she remembers.

Mommy skills!

I want you to think back to when you were a kid and you got sick, who did you want? MOMMY! Well my little girl is no acceptation. She is a daddy's girl by day and only wants mommy at night, at least while she's sick. Makes a mom feel good, but its not always possible to cuddle with her and take care of a newborn... or so I thought. The other night she was cuddling with me in my bed, and the baby started crying because she was hungry. No biggie right, just give the sickie to the hubby and feed the baby right? WRONG! The sickie would not go to her daddy! So, here I am, wanting to sleep, nursing a baby while holding a two-year old on my lap. That takes some skills let me tell you! How did I ever manage to fall asleep that night you ask? I got the mommy skills, thats how!
