'Bout time!!!

Ok, ok, I know I have been slacking on my blogging duties. It has been a little crazy around here over the past few weeks or so. We found out in January that baby #2 will be joining our little family in September. My EDD is the 13ish, so that means that I am almost 13 weeks along. We still haven't heard the heartbeat yet, but I was only 10 weeks at the time, so the baby must have just been too small still. We should be finding out who it is in April. I can't wait! 

  Just wanted to let everyone know! Oh, and yes, the cravings are INSANE!! But that's a whole other post! 

My Fancy Nancy

    When Annabelle was born, her aunt Megan sent her this Fancy Nancy book. Even though she was much too little to completely understand the books, I felt it necessary to read them to her. My in-laws have always talked about her becoming a basketball player (yuk! Boys can play, but not my little girl!) ever since we found out she was a girl. You can see why I had to indoctrinate her at a very young age. You can see its working! HAHA!  

 sorry, just had to be excited that my Girl is acting like one!  She can like to watch sports with her daddy, i don't care about that, just so long as she wears  hair bows with her jersey! 

Craigs Turn

Well I think its my turn to add a post.  Its been awhile for us.  So last night we got to go to my companies Christmas Party.  This year it was at the Alamo Dome here in San Antonio.  We also had two bands this year.  Lonestar and Styx.  We had a great time!  The food was really good and so was the desert.  There wasnt long lines like last year and there was actually enough room for everyone.  Just to give you all a perspective my company i think employees 24,000 people.  I think 15,000 people are in San Antonio alone and everyone gets to bring someone.  So you can imagine you have to get a big place for everyone.  

Of course we dont have any pictures.  Santa hasn't brought us our new camera yet.... oh well some of our friends took our picture, Esther will add it I am sure.  I hate adding pictures on these things.  I am a computer nerd and I criticize the interfaces these site build because they re just awful.. ok sorry i ranted.  But the music was really good.  The traffic wasn't bad at all.  Work supplied buses to take us down town from the office.  It was great!  Lonestar was pretty good, we new more of their music since I am a country fan.  Styx was great!  They are getting up there in age but they put on a good show.  They made fun of themselves for being around for so long but I  think its great.  

Overall it was a great night!  Of course I felt sick when I got home... whats up with that?  Cause I feel better now.  Oh well.

What did you say?

  On thursday I was putting Belle to sleep for her nap. I still hold her, its cuddle time for me! :) Well she usually has to say a few things to keep herself awake, and then I'll tell her to go to sleep, and then she'll say "Night night". Well, she kept saying something over and over. I was about to tell her to hush and go to sleep, then I realized that she was saying "Love you" (wov ew) I almost started to cry. She has never said love you on her own before! I told her that I love her too! And kissed her and then she fell right to sleep! That is going on my top ten favorite mommy moments!  Just had to share!

     Has anything like that happened to you where you were caught off guard with something that made your heart melt? 

Halloween!

  Halloween was a first for me. Not the actual day itself,  but the trick-or-treating part. No I never went trick-or-treating as a child. Some of might say how crappy that must have been for me! What horrible parents wouldn't take their kids out on halloween? Well, I would say to that, what SMART parents wouldn't take their kids out! It was hot, and all Annabelle wanted to do once we got home was be a pill and eat candy! Yes I know thats what you are supposed to do after getting all that candy, but I have a good kid! She has NEVER acted that way before! It was obnoxious! Oh well, it will probably happen again next year... Will i never learn? She looked really cute though! 

I think she had fun, which, in the end, is all that matters! 

Jacob is home!

    Ok, so I know I haven't been so diligent about blogging for the last, well ever! So here I am to play catch up!
On Friday September 19th my little brother Jacob returned after serving a two year mission for our church in Minnesota. It was so good to see him, we have always been really close so it was good to have him back!
We waited for what seemed like FORVER! We heard over the intercom that his plane landed so we all lined up.

Our shirts say "We heart J A C O B !" Starting at left, Miriam, Rachel, Joseph, Daniel, Paul (my sisters husband) Sariah, Rebekah, Me and Annabelle. Yes I know the color is horrible, Jacob's favorite color is yellow!

  We could see Jakes gate from where we were. After MANY false alarms we saw him. Unfortunately for us he saw us too. He high-tailed it to the bathroom to tell himself that was going to be alright. I guess we are pretty overwhelming, even to one of our own! Then he came out to see us!

My dad got the first hug! 

Then it was mamas turn!

For those of you who have never had Blue Bell ice cream, shame on you!  Come down here and get some! That was one of the three things requested for Jakes welcome home dinner. 

How do ya think we did? And yes, it was all gone with in just a few short hours!

 WELCOME HOME LITTLE BRO!
