Shaving Cream

This is what we did yesterday for a bit of fun!

Milton-

Today was our ultrasound to find out what we are having. Many of you did not know that we were even pregnant but now you do :)

I feel like Laramie is very ultrasound happy, they give you an ultrasound on your first appointment and at 20ish weeks. I am 22 weeks this week - so that means that I am more than half way done- YEAH!

This is our first ultrasound

14 weeks

And pictures from our second ultrasound.

She has measured small in both but then Addison was small as well.

22 Weeks

As 4-d as they can get (I miss my ultrasound pictures from Cedar they were much better!)

Look at those long skinny feet

Funny thing is - is that my next appointment is also an ultrasound appointment - I have never had so many ultrasounds with one pregnancy, but it is fun to see Milton.

Milton and I have been doing pretty good- that is after the Physial Therapist fixed my hips. I have even been able to use a chainsaw for the first time and blocked about a 4 cord of wood during this pregnancy, among other things that my dear friend Meaghan tells me that I should NOT be doing.

Since we told the kids last week they have been very sweet. Ethan will give the baby a hug or rub my belly and Addison will put her hand on my tummy and say "you baby in there"

Let me know if you have any cute girl names :)

Random sleeping positions

Every night I have to check on my children, give them kisses, smell them tell them I love them and say goodnight- again.

It never fails that Ethan is in some strange sleeping position- this is only ONE night- but I never know what I am going to find. I also love that he is completely dead to the world but if I catch him at the right moment he will tell me he loves me - It is moments like these that I will remember forever about my wonderful little man!!!

Carving Pumpkins

I just thought I would share this years pictures of the kids carving pumpkins- It was really fun, Addison would not really pull out the "guts" and Ethan was kinda of certain at first as well- However, Ethan did a great job carving most of his own pumpkin and Addison just thought that her pumpkin was cute- and we that was very cute.

It's Official

Addison is potty trained!!!

I love that she is doing so well. The only time that we put a diaper on her is at night now and most of the time she wakes up dry- Oh Yeah, I love the steps my children make as they grow!!!

Halloween 2008

We were very lucky this year the weather was very nice, making Halloween much more enjoyable! Ethan was a vampire and Addison was a monkey.

Laramie does a really fun downtown trick-or-treat the Saturday before Halloween, so the piles of candy in front of them are just from that- and believe me they got more than enough. The nice thing was that I was able to go through and get the candy I liked and they snacked on the candy until Halloween came then I just dumped it in the candy that we gave out at our Truck or treat - I still ran out about half way through- and I had a lot of candy!

This video is of Ethan chewing gum just after we got home from the downtown party

This video is of Addison licking a peppermint- it was to hot for her but she still wanted to eat it- funny girl.

The Fireplace-

Yeah!!! Our Fireplace has been in for about two weeks and I LOVE IT. It was a long and cold process, and living through the cold spell was really difficult for me- I DO NOT LIKE to be COLD. But the weather the week after we actually got it installed were wonderful- but we still had a fire. It was so nice to finally be warm! And it is nice to say that we did it all- well mostly Trent - because he wouldn't really let me help and we did have help from others in our ward. So here it is... (Ethan took the pictures so they are a bit crooked but he loves to take pictures) This is part of our woodpile - It is huge and I really don't look forward to stacking it but it makes things look much nicer.- That is also where we tried to grow our garden. This is where we stack about 3 cord next to the garage so that is it out of the snow. Ethan was such a good helper he was great at stacking the wood and filling up the wheel barrow

This is the wood that we stacked just out our back door- easy access. For me this a beautiful think because it means warmth and comfort. It is funny how I enjoy a nicely stacked pile of wood. Now that this major project has been completed we will warm for the winter and I can finally really clean my house.
