My Little Dinosaur's

Abbysaur

A friend threw a birthday party for her son last weekend. The theme was Dinosaur's and she made all the kids these rocking Dinosaur tails and had Masks to boot. It was so cute to watch all the kids with these tails. What a great idea right? I cannot believe my kids actually wore them, but they did and we took them home and they have been playing with them here as well. So fun! Good Job Heather!

Public Meltdown

Abigail had her annual preschool Christmas program before Christmas break. We were excited to see her because she had been singing the songs for a few months! What we got was not exactly what we bargained for. We didn't think she would have a problem since she was fine in her Thanksgiving program, but she likes to prove us wrong on a regular basis. When the kids started filing in her class walked right by us, she spotted me and clung to me for dear life! She absolutely refused to go with her class. Seth tried to get her to go as well but, nothing there either. She began to scream and cry like a 2 year old and people started looking. Seth took her out kicking and screaming. All the while her class was up singing and preforming. While out with Seth she threw herself on the floor and an all out tantrum ensued. Some teachers tried to help but to no avail. When Abby's teacher noticed she was missing she came and talked to her while Seth and I walked away. She calmed her and took her to her seat, but she still refused to go on stage. Thus we sat and watched everyone else's children. What a waste!

5 Seconds to meltdown!

All the other kids!

Santa!

For the past three Christmas's we have taken the kids to see Santa at Walgreens. As you can see HERE or HERE and below. Its fast and and fun and usually there are not any lines. We were unsure what to expect from the kids because their reactions vary with each new circumstance. Abigail was hesitant at first but when bribed with candy she was willing to sit on Stanta's lap and tell him what she wanted. What did she ask for? What every other little girl asks for of course...a Kid Motorcycle. Goof. As for Brigham, again this year he hated it and refused to go near Santa as you can see in the pictures. But we tried. Now every time we pull into Walgreens Brigham says "Santa Scary"!

A little apprehensive

Brigham's Attempt

36 Weeks and Sunday's

Its official, 36 weeks down, and 20 days to go until the C-section! 

Crazy! I am finally starting to feel the effects of this little girl. She kicks really hard. My body aches and I am losing lots of sleep due to, but not limited to the following, heart burn, thirst, restroom usage, and tossing and turning; which happens once every  30 minutes or so since I am hurting or too hot! Not to mention that Briggs and Abby in the night are either crying or crawling into bed with me. My sanity is waning.  

Nonetheless we are very excited to meet little miss Emily. I think she knows it too. Seth put his head near my belly the other day and not 5 seconds passed and she gave him a swift kick in the head. Already a little stinker!

I have another sonogram scheduled for Monday to once again check my low placenta, on a positive note at least I get to see her again. Overall I am doing well. Swelling has started to take place but, my blood pressure is good and so are the other indicators of pre-eclampsia, so my doc isn't worried. Not to mention I am on my feet a lot!

She and I have grown a lot these last few weeks!

This is the heaviest I have been with any of my kids! Yikes!

Then there is this cute little man! Sometimes on Sunday's I cannot help but take pictures. I mean when this little rascal and his sister get all dapper its too irresistible not too! I had also cut his long hair as well so he looked even cuter than ever!

Say cheese

My loves

   

That face can melt you!

Getting Briggs to cooperate isn't easy!

Tuckered OUT!

I love checking on the kids at night before I go to bed. Its always so funny to see how they are sleeping. Abby never sleeps like this, she must have been super tired. Seth walked in on this and called me to come look. I want to have a sleep that deep!

Seriously, how is she asleep in that position?

Then I couldn't help snagging a picture of this dude.

Sass A Frass

My sister Cassidee has lived somewhat nearby for a few years now. Enabling us to visit often and spend time with the kiddo's. However this past weekend she moved to Utah :( We stopped by to say our final good byes.  Brigham kept saying "Cass go bye bye." Then I will say something like, "she moved to Utah" and he then says, "NO! Mytah" She will be missed. Love you sass.

Future Stars....

Often Abigail requests that I take videos of her. Thus, another request granted. This is what she chose to do.




Brigham is really rather talented when it comes to sports. This video doesnt do him justice. But he really is amazing at throwing, catching and even hitting balls with bats. Even today at church one of the Men who was in nursery suggested he make a call to his favorite college team, so they can scout Brigham in the future! Too Funny.

Packing for the move!

Ready to be stored

We are moving soon, back into our old house, and have begun the packing process. These two little rascals were hard to get the right materials for but we finally figured it out. Good thing I have a strong live in moving man around to carry this load!

The closet seemed like the best place to keep the package until they got too noisy.

Then we moved it out to the storage shelves in the garage.

Seemed like the perfect fit to us! Although  the cargo complained that it was cold and dark :(

But, they loved it nonetheless 

Christmas Tree Fun

The day after Thanksgiving we unloaded our Christmas decorations. Since we will be moving soon we decided to pack up the living room and just have the decorations which could be packed more quickly. It was really fun listening to holiday music, decorating and of course the kids loved it. Abby was so excited to put the star on the tree. As you can see Brigham came up with his own way of decorating. He has attempted it several times since too. The kids then had some ice cream to celebrate their accomplishment!
