ELMO

This is Sarah in her Elmo outfit. This was

a hand me down from someone in my family

and both of my girls have just loved it! Sarah

won't let me take it off! And she keeps the hoodie

part on all night! ( We use them as PJ's.)

Grace of course wanted to get in on the action,

which was great. Notice she is in a nice spring time

church dress. If I would have gotten a full body

picture you would see the princess shoes. No need

to worry about the snow storm going on outside,

Grace just wears this stuff whenever she can!

We're Pregnant!

So I was going to have some creative way to put this on my blog, but I just haven't gotten to it. Sorry! So the news is out. We are expecting another little one. I am due June 12. I almost put the year there, but then I thought I bet you all can figure it out. I would be lying if I said that Jamie and I weren't hoping that this one is a boy, but that being said, we will be fine if it is a girl so no worries. Grace hasn't really grasped the concept completely I don't think. I think it will help as my stomach gets bigger, instead of the state I'm in now where I just like a little chubbier than usual. I can't believe that Sarah isn't going to be my baby anymore. I have babied her way more than I ever did Grace. Sarah just still seems so little. She only says a few things and still walks like she's had too much too drink. Grace has always been so grown up for her age that when I was pregnant with Sarah it wasn't hard to imagine her being a big sister. Anyway, sorry for the long entry there, but I wanted to share the news!

Happy Turkey Day!

I was trying to get a picture of Sarah in the

chair, but of course as soon as she saw the

camera she had to run towards me to say

cheese! She was so excited for dinner she found

her chair on the floor and was just sitting there waiting

for the rest of us to get ready!

This is Grace with her cousin Emily, they are only

3 weeks apart and love each other so much, it is so

much fun. Emily lives in Logan, or as Grace would

correct me, Hyrum, so they don't get to see each other

as often as they would like but when they do they are so

excited they can hardly control themselves!

Sorry for not posting anything in awhile, but the truth is we really haven't been doing anything so there just hasn't been that much to post! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I DID NOT WORK! This was the first Thanksgiving since I have been married that I have not worked. It was great. We went to Jamie's parents for dinner and then to my parents for dinner. (Yes the double dinner!) Then we had dessert at my mom's. Fun to see all the family and eat all the yummy food.

Starting so young

Ever since Christmas of last year, when Grace received many dress up clothes, she has been very into dress up. Pretty much every day Grace gets up and puts on a princess dress and then it is a struggle to get her into regular clothes after that. It appears that Sarah has joined her sister in this mission to become a princess. Sarah brought the sparkled cheerleading dress to me and said, "On, On!" So I put it on her. Then she found this lovely number, which was one of my old dancing costumes to put on over the cheerleading outfit. She did that herself. Grace has now extended the dress up to just changing clothes all day long. She probably wears 2 church dresses, 3 dress up dresses, and 3 pairs of a pajamas a day. Every time I look at her she is in something different. Is this what I have to look forward to with Sarah? I just didn't anticipate it all happening so soon! I guess that happens with your second though.

Halloween

Well this was the only picture I got of Sarah with the

antennae on her head! The rest of the time she wore it

around her neck.

This picture is of Grace at the Halloween party

at the church that the YM/YW did for all of the

primary kids. Grace got a cat painted on her

face and was very pleased!

Here is Grace and Sarah together at the party.

Sarah loves to sit on chairs by herself, I think

it makes her feel big.

This is of Grace before getting to go to pre-school
in her costume. She was so excited.

This year Halloween reminded me a little bit of Christmas in the way that Grace kept asking me if it was Halloween yet, she was confused because we went to so many parties this year. Grace does the same thing with Christmas, there's just so much build up. It was fun this year to do so many fun things for Halloween, it really got me in the spirit of Halloween.
