Snow Day

Carlie and Davis couldn't wait to go outside and play in the first snow of the season. Carlie watched Frosty the Snowman that day and wanted to go out and build a snowman. Unfortunately, there was only a small amount of snow on the ground. However, Carlie and her dad managed to get enough snow to build a small snow fort. Davis only lasted outside a few minutes, he was ready to come inside and get warm. He must take after his mother. Here is the result of their hard work:

Decorating for Christmas

I thought this was a cute video of Carlie. Davis participated in the video by adding the background music. Carlie was excited to get the Christmas decorations out this year. She was my big helper. Davis didn't make it too long when it came to decorating. He thought the ornaments were balls. Needless to say, the bottom half of our Christmas tree is pretty much empty.

Rick's Boxes

I guess I should say Utah Paperbox boxes. These boxes are the project that has been keeping Rick and UPB busy the last few weeks. You can find them at any Eddie Bauer store. When you do your Christmas shopping you will have to make a special stop to see the boxes displayed.

We had our big ultrasound on Friday and found out that we are having a.... healthy baby. The gender is still unknown. From what we could tell on the ultrasound, the baby looks healthy, it is just measuring a little small for the due date we were planning on. We may end up having a late March baby if they move my due date back. We will know more in the next month or so. If you are wondering why we didn't find out if it is a boy or a girl, it was Rick’s idea. I committed to it years ago thinking the day would never come where we would have one boy and one girl. We are still waiting and wondering like the rest of you. Exciting! Hopefully it won’t make the pregnancy seem longer!!

Halloween Fun!

We had all kinds of fun this week as we celebrated Halloween. It started with a big party at Bette's and Marilyn's, with all the cousins, and ended Halloween night when the kids went

Trick-or-Treating. Carlie was a princess, of course, and Davis dressed up as a frog. Carlie wore her costume for two days straight and would have slept in it if I would have let her. Davis was just getting over a bad cold and missed out on some of the festivities, but was well enough to go Trick-or-Treating for a few hours. Here are a few pictures of our Halloween fun...
