Lot's o'Green Yesterday!

  Yesterday I had lots of fun with the boys! They looked so cute all dressed up, they were even able to fit in the same shirts from last year! For breakfast they had green pancakes, they thought that was pretty cool.

Then to wash there sticky faces they took a bath and you can't tell but the water was green too (from the colored soap I used)!

Then we went to story time at the library where they read books about St. Patrick's Day and they got to go on a hunt for the leprachauns gold.  Which they found round golden cookies at the end.  

It was such a nice day today too! We loved it, the boys played outside for almost 2 hours total!  And yes, Michael is wearing play-work safety goggles, he's silly!

Then with our dinner last night the boys had green mashed potatoes, Michael made a face and was like "why are my potatoes green?"  Then when we told him he was like, "I want my chicken green too."  We told him that wasn't possible, and thought at the same time that that would be pretty gross!  Ha!  

At the end of the day Michael got to help eat some rainbow cake that he helped make.  Jesse was already in bed, poor kid.  Half the day he had a little fever and was hardly eating anything, he's a little warm today but he is a lot happier. He was very cuddly yesterday though, and I miss that! He doesn't stay too long in one place anymore.

Oh, and I had to add this picture I took last week! Jesse is wearing a kimono from Japan that Chris got from his Uncle Elton when he was there for his mission.  Chris wore these when he was Jesse's age, I need to get a pic of Chris and put them side by side. :)

Ultrasound #2

So yesterday I had a second ultrasound done and everything looks good.  It's still a GIRL! Yay! And she is growing the way she should be!  We took Michael along with us and I think he liked that he could see her and hear her heartbeat.
The ultrasound tech had a hard time getting a good picture of her face and in this pic, if you can tell, the right side of her face has the umbilical cord right next to it.  But you can see her eye, nose, and lips. :)

And here is a pic of me at 30 weeks, Michael had to join in the picture.

The Final Show

    Here is Michael's final "Out of the Box" performance! He had so much fun, and I think he loved all the attention!!  When we first got there they had a quick little practice and he wasn't showing too much interest in dancing.  But when he saw a few performances before him I think that is what got him excited.  He went on stage and didn't act shy at all....he get's that from his father!  Afterwards on the way to get ice cream I asked him if he had butterflies in his tummy (cause I was, just for him) and he says matter-of-fact like, "no, I didn't eat any butterflies."
Ha, that made us laugh!  Here is his famous moves, enjoy! ;)

Yep, I'm actually posting!

Its been forever since I blogged last so I might just skip ahead to what's going on now.  As you already, most likely, know, we are going to have a baby girl in May!

I'm loving being able to buy girly pink things!!  The only trouble we're having is deciding on a name so we might just have to wait till she arrives.  Michael seems excited to have a little sister and I'm not too sure what Jesse will think.  He likes babies but when I'll have to be holding her besides him, I think he'll have trouble with that.  It'll be fun though...even though I'm not quite sure I'll know what to do with a girl. Only 11 weeks to go!:)

Me at 27 weeks and 2 days (about 6 months).

 So not too much has happened so far this year...

We celebrated Chris' birthday (and yes there should be more candles),

the boys still show brotherly-love,

and Michael has been into a Rockstar phase, which came out of nowhere!  When Chris asked him why a Rockstar he said "because I want to scare people!" Ha, silly kid!

Just this weekend Michael had a dance workshop at a high school for the Dance team and he was loving it!!! He mostly just did his own thing, but it was his first time learning a dance so he did pretty good!  He gets to perform on Wednesday, I'm excited for him!  Here is a video clip of him showing off his moves, enjoy!

Getting into the Thanksgiving Spirit!

Yesterday for our family home evening we made a turkey and on each of the feathers is something that we are thankful for.  Michael enjoyed giving feathers to the turkey and naming things that he is grateful for, a few being: his little brother, his mom and dad, Oma and Opa, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunts and Uncles, Cousins, and of course toys and most of all his trains.  It is so much fun watching my boys learn and to grow!

I found a poem that was in a Friend magazine that I liked for there are so many things that I am thankful for:

A Thanksgiving Prayer 

by June Swanson

There is so much to say today;

I don’t know where to start.

How can I begin to tell

The thanks that fill my heart?

Should I begin with family,

Or love or joy or sunlight,

Or peace or health or happiness,

Or home or birds or stars at night?

For all these things—and many more—

I thank Thee, Father dear.

But most of all I thank Thee

For always being near.

On Saturday we had our first snow and after breakfast we all went out to play in it.  The boys loved the snow, even Jesse!  If Jesse fell down he would just eat the snow and have the biggest smile on his face.  They are both just too cute!  I love them to pieces!!  Then daddy got his snowboard out and took the boys for a little ride which they both loved, but too bad it didn't work too well!

Boys in Costumes

Not too much has been going on since I last posted...but here are some Halloween pics of the boys.  They made dragons and lions look cute! :)

Halloween Time!

It's been a while since I last posted something, I am a slacker! Well here are some pictures from when we went to the pumpkin patch down in Oakley. The boys and us had lots of fun with the pony ride, games, and the haystack maze.

We also carved some pumpkins, the boys loved watching and helping their Dad with that!  Both Michael and Jesse were also liking the taste of the pumpkin and would lick the cut out pieces. Silly boys!  And when the pumpkin was lit, Jesse didn't know what to think about it...until he decided that it scarred him!
