Baby Ultrasound Pictures

Here are some pictures of our baby from today's ultrasound. Last appointment, when we found out the gender, he did not want to cooperate and the Doctor could not get all of the measurements he needed. So, we had to have another ultrasound today. It is the fourth one we have had! We are sure lucky ducks that our doctor likes to do ultrasounds... I am sure these pictures won't be too interesting to most but for Daddy who is at work and grandparents here you go! You can click on the picture to enlarge it.

Santa

This year Emma is super excited about Christmas. All she can talk about is Santa bringing her presents and filling her stocking. She know all the words to "Santa Clause is Coming to Town." She has been super excited to see Santa and when I sat her on his lap she was completely happy for about 30 seconds until Santa tried to hold her hands down for a picture and then she lost it. She was holding onto my neck so hard! I would have to say her and Santa have a love/hate relationship. We have our ward Christmas party on Friday so we will see how she does with Santa then.

November Highlights

Sorry I have not been very good about updating the blog. Here are the highlights from November.

Our little Diva still loves wearing mommies boots.

Daddy turned 27 on November 20th. Emma thought it was her birthday, as she does most days. We also got to find out that we were having a baby boy on Luke's birthday.

We had a great Thanksgiving! Our friends the Reeder's came

over to celebrate. We had tons of yummy food just as if we were home for Thanksgiving. Of course we made way to much of everything but it was yummy! We had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green bean casserole, spinach artichoke dip, shrimp dip, 2 jello salads, yams, deviled eggs, and homemade rolls. For dessert we had four kinds of pies! We had pumpkin, chocolate cream, soda cracker, and out of this world pie. We also had sparkling cider and slush. Talk about a menu! We took the kids to the park after their naps. If was fun to see the two daddies play on the toys too. They are such kids at heart.

It's a BOY!

We found out this morning that we are having a baby BOY! He did not want to cooperate and was in a little ball at the bottom of my belly so we did not get to see any pictures of his face but he was still adorable!

Halloween!

Emma was a pumpkin and had a blast going "trunk-or-treating" and playing all of the fun carnival games at the ward party! We decided to paint eachothers faces at the face painting booth. Don’t we look good!

We went to the arboretum with Emma's preschool and had a blast!

Emma loves playing with and eating her candy!

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.

Daddy took the day off for Emma's 2nd birthday and we had a fun day, minus a few melt downs... We took Emma to a Mexican restaurant and got some guacamole for our chips because Emma loves it! Well, she would not dip her chips in the guacamole. She had to eat right out of the bowl with a fork! We tried to take it away but that ended in melt down number one. We figured it was her birthday so let her eat right out of the bowl. We had a party jut with mommy and daddy this year. Emma loved opening her presents. It is fun to see your kids get older and enjoy the simple things so much! She wanted to try on all of the beautiful dresses her grandma Clark sent her and mid trying them on she had melt down number two. I am not sure what brought this melt down on but non the less this was the biggest of the day. We had yummy cake and ice cream and Emma loved us singing to her and blowing the candles out. We cannot believe we have a two year old and another on the way!

Emma's face is so cute in this video. She's so happy and then she touches the hot candle wax...

'Tis the Season!

Luke and I LOVE Christmas! We have a tradition of putting the Christmas tree up on Nov. 1st, the day after Halloween. We feel like the Christmas season is far to short! It is amazing what a different feeling and spirit your home has to it with the Christmas tree and decorations up. We have been listening to Christmas music for months now and are excited for the holiday season to start!
