baby brother

Here is the latest ultrasound picture I had taken on Thursday. Isn't my little man adorable? Does he look like me? :-)



And this is just one of my favorites of him sucking his thumb, taken last month. He's been doing this the last four visits we've had.

Holidays!

We had a good holiday break! It was a little stressful at times but overall really good this year. We spent a lot of time with family. We played games, went tubing in my parents back yard, and ate lots and lots of delicious food! (thanks mom)
Christmas was great. Lance got a gun . . . well a picture of his gun because we hadn't received it yet. I got lots of cute clothes, and Sami got a lot! Her big present this year was her kitchen, and it only took Santa from 11pm to 3am to put it all together! Way to go SANTA! ;-) (truly I never heard so many profanities coming from my husbands mouth! just kidding! although i did make the comment a few times that a man who builds houses for a living probably shouldn't have such a hard time putting together a plastic toy right?)
Anyway, I never had so much fun on Christmas morning as I did this year watching Sami open her presents! She was so cute oooohhh-ing and aaaahhh-ing over each gift, then playing with it for 10 minutes before opening the next and completely forgetting the previous! She's so funny. My mom made all the grand kids these overnight bags with pillow cases, pajama's, and quillows (don't know how to spell) with this cute poem about how now that they're older (the oldest is 5) they can come and start spending the night and have sleepovers. Well now Sam takes her "purse" (the overnight bag) along with her bedtime baby and moose with her whenever she goes anywhere. It's cute but I don't think my mom thought this through very well, 7 grandkids ranging in age from 2 to 5 (!?) What was she thinking? We're all going to hold to her it though! Good luck grandma and grandpa ;-) it should be interesting to say the least! (by the way we'll have our phones turned off that night just in case!)

New Years Eve was fun too. We went to my mom's and ate pizza's and played games until the kids were well done then we went home put sami down and had a movie night with just Lance and I. It was fun. We went back to my parents on New Years Day to have lunch with the family.

I wish I had more pictures! Especially of Sledding and Grandma and Grandpa's! They've had a blast every time we've done that. Shay and I too! (right shay?) Don't worry I was always very careful and I'm sure baby brudder will come out no more worse for the wear! I only fell a few times anyways and I was very careful to not fall on him! My butt was pretty sore though!

Well, anyway, here's some of the Christmas pictures I do have!
Enjoy!!

Pictures!

This is my Little Angel. We took her to get her 2yr old pictures and her Christmas pictures taken a few weeks ago. The entire way there before the pictures we were practicing how she was going to smile, by the time we arrived I was sure she was going to be great. Well, as you can see, once we got there and had the camera in her face all of a sudden she had no idea how to smile. quite frankly i think that running into Breq and Hazy (and their parents) before our session confused Sami especially since she saw how uncle Kyle had smiled for his pictures. She must have thought you are supposed to grind your teeth when someone takes your picture. Thanks Kyle!
But Sami is a lot cuter than Kyle so her pictures still turned out pretty good.
She was so excited with the lady telling her to pose different ways that was definitely her favorite part.
