28 Weeks

My midwife told me at my last appointment that I (the baby) would be going through another growth spurt soon. I think it happened the next day. I've (he's) grown a lot in the last 10 days! I'm still feeling a lot of contractions. Especially after going for a walk. The baby moves so much that he's woken Clint up during the night.
Morgan tells me she's excited now and she likes to talk to the baby. She's always rubbing my belly an asking if he's moving. Unfortunately she hasn't felt him move yet.
Jackson thinks the baby is going to come out playing football with him. So he's really excited lol.
We still have no clue what to name him. Nothing stands out to us. 12 more weeks to go!

27ish Weeks

I am somewhere in between 26 and 27 weeks now. I've lost count through the holidays. I'm feeling gigantic but according to my midwife I'm measuring right where I should be.
We can see the baby move from the outside now, which is always fun. I've been having a lot of back, hip, knee, and ligament pain. But other than that things are going well. I have contractions several times a day which is not something I experienced with the first two. At least not this early. Hopefully that means my body is ready and things will go smoothly :)
We still don't have a name. Any suggestions? Morgan has come up with lots, Flynn Rider, Texas, President Holland, all of which have been dismissed LOL. My top picks are Tucker, Cooper, Pearson, and Logan. Clint's only opinion is Clint Junior (I'm hoping he's not serious!).

Morgan's 5th Birthday Party-December 8, 2012

I decided to throw Morgan a real birthday party with her friends this year.  Parties are so much work, but I figure our kids will only get them a couple times in their lives.  We kept it small and it turned out wonderful!  We had a Fancy Nancy tea party luncheon.

The invitation:

The accessory station:

Hair clips, bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, boas, and nail art!  Everything a fancy girl needs!

All ready for guests to arrive!

Along with the cupcakes we had butterfly shaped sandwiches and fruit and crackers.

The girls arrived wearing their fanciest ensembles, then accessorized at the accessory station.

Next we had lunch and "tea" (pink lemonade).

Then we read a Fancy Nancy book and learned lots of fancy words!

Next up was bracelet making.

Last we sang happy birthday, ate cupcakes, and the girls make up their own ice cream parfaits.  Most of them put so many toppings on their ice cream that they ended up not eating any of it. LOL

Happy birthday Morgan!  We can't believe you've already been with us for 5 years!  You are so smart and make us proud to be your parents.  We love you and thank Heavenly Father for you every day!

Letters to Santa

Jackson's (notice he marked "not so good").


Morgan's (the drawings are a horse and a spinning toothbrush).

Christmas Card-2012

Decorating Our Charlie Brown Tree-Nov 26, 2012

I let the kids stay up late and wait for daddy to get off work last week so we could decorate the tree for FHE.  Decorating the house for Christmas is always one of my most favorite things about the holidays.  (taking it all down is my least favorite!)

They kept wanting their pictures taken with ornaments....

As usual, most of the ornaments ended up in one spot :)

Topping it off with an angel...

Not sure why this one is sideways LOL.

More Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

The kids had so much fun with Grandpa and Grandma Call. They were so upset when they woke up Sunday morning and they were already gone.

While they were here we had a little ice cream Birthday for dad/Christams party.

Turns out shopping with Grandpa is more like an amusement park ride than actual shopping!
