Where we've been in 2010

So, sorry to all of you who read my blog - it's been almost 3 months! Yikes! But I haven't really been emailing either, so I'm not feeling too bad...

This is what has been happening since the beginning of 2010:

• Michael went back to school to get a teaching certificate. It ends up being another B.A. but at the end, he'll be able to teach. Looking at fall 2011... Not that long.


• Grace has lost 2 teeth - thankfully!


• Audrey has just become more and more her own person, with her own demands. :)


• Luke has become a boy. He climbs in, over, under and through things. He likes to climb into the kids' bathroom sink, open the girls' toothpaste and eat it. Either there or in the bathtub.


• And I keep getting bigger and bigger.

For those who don't know (which may be a lot of you!), we're expecting our 4th little one in July. And today we found out it is to be a boy! The girls were a little bummed but Grace is now excited because we'll be a family of 6 but it will be even, 3 boys and 3 girls. Yeah!!

Cookies & Snow

Sunday night's Family time - decorating and eating a few sugar cookies! Yummy!

And today's Blizzard's worth of snow! It was a lot of fun. Of course, Luke was really mad when I made him come in. I doubt the girls will have school tomorrow and am wondering how Michael is going to get out of the driveway to go to work... Maybe another Snow Day! :)

There are a lot more pictures in a slideshow and a video on my Picasa site. Click here to see!

If you check out many of my friends' blogs, you will notice similar pictures, but I just couldn't resist. Luke has decided that he's too big for his booster seat and wants to sit with the girls during meal time. Obviously, you can tell from the floor how successful this is. I don't remember why, but I had looked under the table (to see his mess?) and this is the adorable picture that I saw. I love it!

Two Princesses and a Monkey

Many thanks to CG for getting the only picture of my Ariel, Mulan and Monkey together. This is cropped from our T&T photo of 17 kiddos! There were so many awesome costumes this year. It was a fun time!!

Halloween Week

This last week has been a lot of fun and full of activities! We carved our pumpkins with the Missionaries on Monday night, the girls did the cutest Halloween dances at class on Tuesday (forgot the camera), both of them had school parties and LH's parade on Friday as well as the Ward's Trunk or Treat Friday night. On Saturday, RahRah & Poppa Hollywood came up for the weekend and we all went Trick or Treating for a bit Saturday night. Phew! It was busy! And that's my excuse for have almost no pictures! So if you have any pictures of my Monkey, Ariel, or Mulan, please send them my way!!

But the most exciting news of the week was Grace's first tooth came out. Thankfully - because the adult tooth was already growing up behind it! So no more 21 teeth in her mouth; she's back to just 20 as she as been telling us all day! I hope the Tooth Fairy is nice to her...
