Baby News

After many walks, we still have not seen a baby. I got a call from my doctor today telling me that he has scheduled me to be induced on Friday at Midnight. I know weird time, but I will take what I can get since this little boy has not cooperated with us. So some time Saturday we will have our baby. I will try to get up pictures as soon as I can the following week.

2 cute!

I love this age! I just can't get enough of it. It seems like you can't take a bad picture of a 2 year old. Some of my favorite pictures of my kids are all when they were 2.

On Harrison's hoppy ball, she spent pretty much all day on one of these, she loved it!

Christmas

The Christmas Tree decorated 90% by the kids!

Christmas Eve in new jammies. Harrison had a hard time falling asleep that night, he told Darin "He was just tired of sleeping because we do it every night!".

Winter Update

Lydia has recently lost both her front teeth and when Darin made a comment about all she wanted for Christmas was her two front teeth, Lydia's response was, "That's not ALL I want, I want other things too." She turns 8 next month and will be baptized in February and she can't wait! She always asks people if they are going to come to her baptism.

Harrison has had a problem with saying his K sound, but has been working so hard with the speech teacher at school that now is doing so much better. Darin mentioned to him one day that while he is at work during the day, Harrison is the man of the house. He has taken this job very seriously and has asked me for things to do because "if he is the man of the house he needs something to do" he says.

Valerie is growing up way too fast. It doesn't help that she is Miss Independent and wants to do everything herself, she acts way too old. We recently watched the 2nd Night at the Museum movie, but before that the kids loved watching the commercial for the movie with The Thinker statue saying, "Fire Power" even Valerie would go around quoting him. One night while at my parents house she was pointing to the Christmas tree and saying, "Fire Power" it took me a minute to realize that she was talking about the angel Moroni that my parents have on top of their tree. Then the next night the spiderman with the sand man was on TV and when she saw the sand man she called him fire power as well. It is funny how kids make those connections.

Baby News: Thursday I had an ultrasound per my Doctors request (I think because I was measuring small), but everything looks great. The baby is now 6 pounds 10 oz. Friday I had an appointment with the Doctor and I am at a 3! I was hoping for this because I am happy to know that things have started.
