Spiritual Foundations FHE

For FHE last night, we learned about building strong spiritual foundations. We of course had to pull the legos out for some building and the kids really wanted pictures of their mega tower they built. They were super excited that it was taller then them! Lucas did not want to help in the community tower, so decided to do his own thing instead. Unfortunately, he is not as fast at scooping up legos, so his tower wasn't quite as big, but still very awesome!

Science Museum

Last Saturday, we were in a bit of a cold spell here and needed to get out of the house, so we headed to the science museum. This place is so awesome, it is a great place to take the kids. Here are some photos of our fun time!




Here are few photos that you can see my big belly, I am about 34 weeks in these photos! I can't believe how fast time is flying. I have a lot to do before this little one arrives, so stay in baby!

Christmas 2010

We had such a wonderful Christmas this year, we are truly blessed. Christmas morning was spent opening presents, presents, and more presents. The kids loved all of their gifts and watching the happiness on their faces was awesome. I received a Roomba vacuum cleaner and let me tell you, it is the best gift ever! I set it to run at night and in the morning I have clean floors, so awesome! Now, I just need the mopping one too and I will be set :-) After we had our Christmas at home, we headed over the Grandma and Papa's house and had a great time opening gifts there and spending time with them. We are so incredibly blessed, what a great ending to 2010!

Christmas Eve 2010

For Christmas Eve this year, we did our traditional ham dinner, reading of the Christmas story, and getting new PJs! This year I decided against making the PJs and went for store bought instead...which the kids were totally fine with! We had a wonderful evening at home, enjoying our family and thinking about all the wonderful things Christ has done for us.







After the kiddos headed to bed, Michael and I sat out all of the stockings and presents for the next morning. This is the first year in maybe forever that I have had all of the presents wrapped before the evening of, so it took so much less time this year!

The Zoo in December!

This year we have one of the best Oklahoma winters I have ever enjoyed. We have had a few cold spells here and there, but overall it has been wonderful. One day, since we were having a 70 degree day in the middle of December, we decided to head to the zoo and enjoy the outdoors a bit. We had a great time and the weather could not have been more perfect! I love days like that!

3rd Trimester!

Here is a photo we snapped of me around the 27/28 week mark. This was after Michael's work Christmas party (I wish I had photos of both Michael and I, but we neglected to take any, but he of course looked very handsome). We had a good time at the party and won a gift card as well, woo hoo!

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year and much to be thankful for. Here is a photo of our in progress "Gratitude Tree" we did this year. It ended up really full and was a great reminder of all of the wonderful blessings we have in our lives. Some of the answers were comical this year, as I am pretty sure both "candy" and "superheroes" made it up there more then once, but the kids came up with a lot of great answers to put of there.


For Thanksgiving week, we headed up to Rolla for our traditional family get together. We had a wonderful time spending time with family. The kids really enjoyed playing with their cousins from Ohio! And of course, they loved playing with the Grandmas and Aunt Jessica as well. I ended up taking no photos while we were there, so I borrowed some to post from my sister in law Jessica (thanks Jess!).
