A post to cover the last month

Here we are picking out our Christmas tree...

All bundled up.
Trying to keep warm.
The kids found the perfect tree.We went to the ward Christmas party.


The kids had fun with the cousins.


Liz loved her jingle bell earrings that Grandma gave her.


Sam was so excited to sit on Santa's lap.


So was Lizzy! (doesn't she look big?)


Grandma came to visit. They decorated a gingerbread house.


James was blessed last weekend. We didn't get many pictures but here's one.


More pictures to come of our homemade Christmas
(I cheated a little this year but it will still be fun.)

Merry Christmas from us!



I took 5 minutes and took a few Christmas photos of the kids. We aren't sending out Christmas cards this year so Merry Christmas to you and your family. I will be posting pictures soon of our Christmas tree, a fun weekend with my mom, and James' blessing.

Top 10 things to know about James



I thought it would sound cute to write "the top 10 things"
but really these are the only 10 things I know about him so far.


1. He loves his mommy.


2. When he cries he also snorts.


3. He has a mix of his mom and dad's toes
(my ugly big toe and Phil's alien like finger toes - sorry James!)

4. He doesn't like to have his diaper changed.


5. We still can't tell what color his eyes are.


6. He loves to be cuddled.

7. He filters out all noise Sam and Lizzy make (I thought Sam's screaming and Lizzy's piano playing would bother him but I guess he got use to it in the last nine months because it doesn't even phase him.)


8. He has old man hair.
It can make a great comb over or look a bit like Jack Nicholson.


9. He is a wonderful nurser.


10. He will melt your heart!

His photo shoot from the hospital is now available online. To view the photo's go to:

Halloween Night

I had it all figured out. If someone had asked me what I was going to be for Halloween I was going to say, "Not pregnant." or maybe, "a mom with a new baby." No one ever asked, and I'm still pregnant. I have grand dreams of posting new baby pictures and stats on my blog sometime in the next week. Here's hoping.

The kids had a blast at Halloween. Sam was absolutely ADORABLE. Each house he would go to he would say in the sweetest voice ever, "Trick-or-treat!" Then, "Thank you!" after he checked his bag to make sure the candy made it in. When they got home Lizzy ate candy till she had a tummy ache and Sam ran around the couch about 50 times trying to burn off all the sugar. It was such a fun night.
