Bonding

Last night Morgan felt the baby kick for the first time. I told her to talk to him so she did and he started rolling around. Her eyes got so big and she had the happiest look on her face. I wish I had a picture. It was adorable! She also sang him a song "I See The Moon". So precious.

34 Weeks

Just when I think the growth spurts have ended I take a new picture, compare it with the last one, and realize WOW! I've grown a ton, yet again! I guess it more the baby growing than me. Anyway, I've developed an awful backache in the last week or so. The slightest bend at the waist causes my legs to go numb and my hips are achy as well. I'm fairly certain he's sitting on a nerve. He is as active as ever and Clint is certain the baby was "playing" with him last night :)
Other than the back pain I'm feeling pretty good. The Braxton Hicks are coming all day. Not just when I stand up or go for a walk. I'll be glad next week when I can say the baby is due next moth.

Trails of Hope 5k

This morning Clint ran his first race of the season and the kids ran too! I ran as much as a could. Which was not very much.





Clint placed 2nd in his age group. 8th overall (out of 600)!

32 Weeks

Only 8 more weeks to go. Still no name. My midwife says the baby is about to go through yet another growth spurt! I can't believe that skin can stretch so much! I'm definitely getting excited for this little guy to get here. He's still very active and I'm still tired and addicted to Cherrios :)

Christmas in Utah-2012

We drove to Utah again for Christmas this year.  That drive is torture when you aren't 5 months pregnant, but boy is it awful when you ARE pregnant and the DVD player won't work AND your son is car sick the whole time!  Poor Jackson threw up all over himself and had several accidents on the way there.  Luckily I caught his puke in a bag on the way home and the accidents were minimal.  Once we got to Utah he had a cold and double ear infection the whole time.  BUT, he (and we) still had a fabulous time!

Morgan was SO excited for snow.  There was a little bit when we got there.  But then it didn't snow again until the day before we were supposed to leave.  And it snowed A LOT.  Luckily we got to stay one more day :)

Morgan and Carson did there best with the snow they had and made a little snowman.

We visited Temple Square (where Clint and I got married) and it was beautiful!

Miserable little Jackson on daddy's shoulders.

The kids in front of the reflection pool.

One of the most beautiful places on Earth.  You can't deny it!

On Christmas Eve, before we left for our Webb celebration, the kids got to open gifts from their Nana.

New PJ's and books!

Great Grandma Webb reading Silent Night.

Jackson is the BEST gift opener ever.  He gets so extremely excited about each gift and plays with each one for as long as we'll let him.  He'd be fine with getting one cool toy and playing with it for the whole year.

Morgan's "secret diary".  She refuses to let anyone look inside of it LOL.

Clint gave his cousin a military compass and map of the surrounding area.  He wants to be a Navy Seal, so Clint was teaching him about Land Navigation :)

Big Papa always gives the best speeches and brings tears to my eyes every year.  This year was especially special because Clint was there and so was his cousin Macey, who was diagnosed with brain cancer over a year ago.  It was so neat to have everyone all together again.

Big Papa loves to tease the kids.  "Has anyone seen Morgan, I guess she doesn't want any presents!"

Christmas morning is always a blast.

Checking out Jackson's new remote control Jeep

Clint's gift to his family.  He flew this flag on all of his missions in Afghanistan.

Papa opening "the big one" (the gift that we all pitched in on).

The gun and holster go perfect with his chaps jammies!

Christmas at my mom's house.  Morgan would never take this horse necklace off if I didn't make her.

Battle of the boy toys!

Morgan's 5-year Photo Shoot December 2012

There's nothing more surreal (if that's the right word) than looking back at pictures of your child and seeing the incredible changes from birth to present.  And then realizing how beautiful children really truly are.  When I look at these pictures of Morgan I feel like I'm seeing her through Heavenly Father's eyes.  She looks like an angel.  So perfect and flawless.  I'm so thankful for my friend Caitlin who took these pictures.

This one below is my favorite.  It perfectly captures her natural smile.
