Thanksgiving Day Meal

We had a wonderful thanksgiving day with family!!  We all stuffed ourselves with such delicious food.  It was amazing!!  I love my family so much!  And having two little one year olds and one little baby sure makes it different than past times!!  And it will keep getting bigger :-)

The Prep Beforehand.....

The Feasting....

The playing afterwards...

The sleeping afterwards....

Alright, we are officially announcing this...

There is a little fetus growing inside me, due to enter the world:  June 2, 2012!!  I am 13 weeks today - moving on to my second trimester.  Hopefully filled with less 24/7 nausea and more energy for my part, especially since Julia gains more and more energy each day.  June 2 is also special because its my Dad's birthday.  I am not sure of the exact date when we find out the gender, but probably in the month of January.  I am so excited for a another one!!

Grandma's Birthday!

Last Wednesday night, we drove down to Carlsbad to surprise Barbara for her birthday.  She had no idea we were coming.  Unfortunately I was in the bathroom when Riley surprised her.  According to Riley, she did a double take on him in the parking lot and then laughed.  Priceless!!  It was a super fun night.  And Joshua and Julia played so well together in their high chairs.  Fun Cousins!!

Spectrum Merry-Go-Round

Last week went to the spectrum to have some lunch with some friends.  We played by the Merry Go Round for awhile beforehand.  I pointed out all the animals to Julia, there was one panda bear and every time it came around she would point and Growl loudly at it.  She is so cute!!

"It Will all Work Out"

 

Sometimes we think the whole world is coming down on us.  The whole world is a heavy burden.  But the Lord has a plan for all of us, and through Faith and Hope we can believe that "It will All Work Out."  It always does.  I think back to times where I think my whole world is crashing down and that I am never going to get out of the situation.  Well, guess what, I did.  And I learned and I moved on.  I am grateful for my testimony of Heavenly Father's plan.  It helps me to have an eternal perspective.  I do catch myself sweating the small things, it is only human, but through prayer and scripture study, I can always get through it.

Fish Lips

Julia's new favorite thing - making fish lips!

Sunday, November 13 - Pigtail Girl

This last Sunday we put Julia in pigtails, it looked so darn cute!!!  I hope the pictures do it some justice.

In My Own Little Corner

Yes, I randomly found her like this one day.  Sitting on top of a basketball in the kitchen corner giggling.  She is so funny sometimes (and so resourceful).

SO BIG!!

GIVE ME A HIGH FIVE!

CHEEEEEEESE!
