Christmas

My kids have been so excited for Christmas. They both barely made it on the good list this year. But luckily things fell in their favor and they got lots of good presents. 

 Karl'ys big wish this year was an American Girl doll. She got one that looks just like her.

 Noah's big wish this year was a tablet. He got a Nook tablet and now I can't get him to get off of it.

Both kids also got a lot of other great gifts.

Christmas Eve

Every year we go up to Jared's moms for Christmas Eve dinner and Santa. He brings each of the grandkids a present and they love getting to see him the night before Christmas and getting to open one gift before the big day. Karly was a little nervous to sit on Santa this year. She wasn't sure if she was going to make the good list this year. She barely made it. 

 Ady wasn't too sure about Santa this year.

 Carson is now too tall to sit on Santa's lap. He's taller than me now. Crazy to think he's only 12.

This is the Place Park

We went to this is the Place Heritage Park. I love the little activites they have the kids do at each different location. My kids loved getting to see Santa. I think their favorite house to visit was the one that made gingerbread cookies. The weather was perfect when we went and I thought it would be a busy night but it actually wasn't busy at all.

Noah's Christmas Performance

Noah's school had a Christmas performance. It turned out so cute. I had to take a picture of his cute soldier he made too. It's the first one in the picture. 

20 Weeks

At this time I felt huge but you should see my stomach now. Only 4 weeks later and I can't believe how big it has gotten. 

Halloween

This year we decided to have my kids be a cowgirl and cowboy. Karly got this darling outfit from her Aunt Eileen on her birthday so I thought it would be the perfect Halloween costume.

The annual Halloween party at my moms and all the cute cousins. Look how cute Quincee is in her dalmation outfit. 

Baby #3

School has officially started and I needed somewhere to place these. It just seemed like they kept landing on the floor and and I would find them all over the house. Each morning as we were getting ready to leave. My children never could seem to remember where they had left their backpack. Luckily my dad is quite the handyman and he whipped this up for my kiddos really quick it only took him a couple of hours. Now we can find our backpacks everyday.

 Well I can't believe it happened but yes, I'm pregnant crazy! These pictures were some pictures we took to let everyone know our little surprise. it took quite a few bloopers before we got it figured out. But if you scroll to the bottom you can see the end result. I'm 13 or 14 weeks right now.I can't remember when I get pregnant it's like I lose all brain cells and I feel so stupid all the time. I had to ask my son the other day how old he was I seriously couldn't remember if he was 6 or 7. See I told you I lose it!  I have started to show which I really don't like because I just feel like it's the pudgy stage where people can't tell if you're pregnant or fat. Non of my clothes fit quite right but I'm not to the point where I want to wear pregnancy clothes yet. I feel too old to be having a child again, but this one was just supposed to happen. Because looking back I don't really know how it did. In fact when I found out I didn't even believe it. I took a pregnancy test after I had been swimming and I thought maybe the chlorine had made the test positive so the next morning I took another one and sure enough the test came back positive. I've made it past some of the scary parts. I've already had my cerclage which was awful this time. I've never been so nauseated in my life. I couldn't even make it to the car without throwing up. We still don't have any idea what we're having. This pregnancy hasn't been like either of my others. With Noah I had morning sickness and with Karly I had night sickness. But with this one I've been sick all the time and I always have a horrible taste in my mouth.
