Yay it's Snowing

I just love the snow and what better time of the year to get it than a few days before Christmas.


Such a ham




This is his "cheese" face

Christmas Pictures

Trying to get pictures of 3 kids is close to impossible but here is our shot at it.

There is Khorben

Holiday Messes

Carson just loves to help and I dont mind the mess. I figure whatever he touches, uses, spills or breaks will always clean up or can be replaces. It seems to always make for a longer clean-up for me, but I dont mind. Ashley and her daughter brook had the joy of joining us in our sugar cookie project. We made them with a few other things for our family and friends.


Helping with our sugar cookies


Step 1: Icing


Step 2: Candy


Step 3: licking fingures and eating the candy

Santa

We had a few Santa visits this year and this one was the only one where we could get Carson close to Santa. He was very unsure of him. I was very surprised that he even stood next to this one. As you can see in his hand are some legos which distracted him a little. He is the same way with poeple he dont know. I guess we should be thankful. :)

Cousin Time

Jen and the kids were here for the 1st three weeks in Dec. It was nice to allow the kids to spend so much time together. Eventhough they tend to fight a lot I know that Carson really adores Khy and Khorben. Now that they are gone he cant stop talking about them. It was a very busy 3 weeks with many Santa visits, craft projects, play dates,and shopping. We look forward to this time spent with them every year. It looks like poor Khorben was left out in these pictures. I guess it has to deal with his age, but he sure did get his fair share of Carson too.

Baby Appointment

We had our baby apt. on Wednesday and it went well. My glucose test came back and was within limits. I'm actually borderline low, but I already knew that. I have had issues with my blood sugar dropping ever since I had been in college. It doesn't happen all but a couple of times a month, but when it does I just make sure I have some peanut butter near to bring it back up. We had a stress test done on the baby while we were there since I still don't feel her very much. They wanted to make sure that her movement was often and that her heartbeat was rising when she was kicking. That just shows that her neurological system is working correctly. She was actually kicking like crazy. Its amazing how much I'm not feeling with the placement of my placenta. She was measuring right on @ 26 weeks. I am now at the point in my pregnancy where I start going every 2 weeks. Crazy to think we are already at that stage and we still don't have a name picked out. YIKES!!!

Growing Baby

I have been putting this picture off for a while cause I just hate the way I look when Im pregnant. I absolutley love being pregnant, feeling the baby kick, hearing the heartbeat, and all the many other experiences that come with being pregnant brings, but I just hate gaining weight. We have another appointment on Wednesday. They will be having me do that awful glucose test which test for diabetes. The drink just makes me want to gag.

25 Weeks

Thanksgiving Day Celebration

We had a wonderful holiday celebration, at our house, with about 10 of us. This was the first year that my dad had joined us for a family holiday and it was very nice to have him around. Im not sure how I managed to not get a picture of the actual dinner and event, but I got a few pictures of the project afterwards. My mom was needing a tree cut down at her new house so my dad and Brison brought a chainsaw up there to get it cut down. Carson just loves to be part of the action, help as much as he can or Brison will let him, and of course be just like his daddy.

Jen's 30th Birthday

Jen turned 30 on the 14th of November. Mom and I had plans of going up to Utah and joining her but because of weather conditions we were not able to, so last night we threw her a Birthday party. We had corn beef (one of her favorites), snowball coconut cream cake, and presents. I bought her 2 seamless backdrops and Mom and Dad went in together and got her a flash for her camera. With all her new photography items hopefully she will head home and start practicing with them and that they treat her well.
