GRRRRRR!

We have some exciting news!  But this is how Jade took it...  

"You're having a what?!?  You mean I'm not going to be an only child anymore?!?"

Okay she didn't really take it like that but i just love this picture of her.  She was growling at me tho.  So stinkin cute! 

So we are having another baby!  I'm due September 25th ish.  So only like 6 1/2 more months.  I've been feeling alright but am starting to feel great!  Not really showing yet either, only i can tell what that little bump is.  We are so excited and they'll be about 2 yrs apart.  Jade loves to look at pictures of babies and even hold her little cousin when ever possible.  If I ask her where mom's baby is she'll point at my tummy.  I love it, and she can kinda say baby too but it sounds more like bab ba.  If anyone has any great advise for having two kids i'd love to hear it!  

4 new catch up posts...

Jades hair is getting so long.  It's fun when she'll let me do it, she looks so grown up too. If i don't pull it back it gets so tangly, oh well!





The other day i was letting her feed herself, she was being so goofy.  She would put the spoon in the bowl and then with her mouth she would pick up the spoon with her teeth. 
oh look at that crazy hair!  She is such a little goofer!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning started out a little after 8 so we got to sleep in a little bit.  I was so excited to give Jade and Jevan their gifts.  My favorite thing i gave Jade was this big elephant.  It is almost 3 ft tall and you can sit on it, it is also very soft and fuzzy.  This pic is her running to it. 




It was fun to watch her open all her other presents, and she even helped us open ours.


Our tree, I decided to buy some new ornaments this year.  The colors were so cute. 

Christmas Tree cutting

After Thanksgiving in Vernal we stopped on our way home and cut our Christmas Tree. It was freezing but Jade loved hiking around in the snow and cold. 
Here is our huge but beautiful tree. Yeah we finally found our tree!Jevan and his brother Jake and his friend Mommo, tying our tree so it would travel back to Cache Valley. 

thanksgiving turkeys!

I made these cute little treats for my co-workers for thanksgiving.  I got the idea off my friends blog called Craft Rookie.  She always has fun holiday and craft ideas. 

I was feeling pretty crafty in November.  I also made this whole shirt for Jade.  Her little hand is the turkey, it even has feet and a beat and a gobbler.  I have to say I think it turned out so cute!

halloween party and the airport

October 30th we went to Jevan's family's Halloween party.  We always dress up and carve pumpkins and then eat a big dinner.  It really was a lot of fun!  Jevan was an dead inmate, I was a cop and Jade was piglet. 

On October 31st my little brother Stephen got home from his mission in South Korea.  A lot of our family was there to greet him at the air port.  Most of us dressed up for Halloween.  It was fun to introduce him my Jade and the other three new grandkids he hadn't met yet.  He is doing great and even tho he sounds kind of funny, and smells like Korea it's great to finally have him home!

My sister Emily made these signs for all of the grandkids to hold the said "Trick or Treat it's time to meet........"  and then we all wrote in our kids names.  

My little One year old!

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time.  Life has been pretty busy.  In September I started working at the Bear River Health Department, for their flu season.  I've enjoyed it so far.

My little brother Stephen will get home from his mission on Halloween!  I can't wait! 

Okay on to the exciting news!  Jade just turned ONE!!!  I can't believe how fast time has flown by. We had a little party on her b-day with some family and close friends.  I thought it was pretty fun to watch her open her presents and eat her cake.   I was hoping she'd dig into her cake and make a mess, but she didn't, she just picked at it and ate it piece by piece and would lick off her sticky fingers.  She got some great gifts and has been playing with them all non stop.  Most of them make noise, sing songs, and light up and she loves that!
