A Turkey Baby

After a week of stomach-flu symptoms for Gracie, and many prayers that she could get better in time so we would make it to Washington for Thanksgiving, prayers were answered. We flew into Seattle Thanksgiving morning & found out Randie was at the hospital & had a C-section at 3:00. My poor Mom made this amazing meal for everyone & then had to rush to the hospital before we ate.

So, we got to see baby Marlie & she is a doll. I just kept feeling so grateful our prayers had been answered & we could be there, what a perfect Thanksgiving!

And then, shopping the next morning starting at 3 a.m. LOVE IT! Okay, so it was crazy. And after 6 hours of shopping we were exhausted, but it was so much fun being with my mom for this.

BYU lost. Bummed husband, enough said.

Flying home tomorrow night. Do you know what the Seattle Airport has the the Salt Lake Airport is missing (not x-ray machines, that's for sure) No- Wendy's! It's the best.

Happy Halloween!

This Halloween seemed a little crazy for some reason. This picture sums it up. We went to Gardner Village to do the witch hunt for family night. It was fun, but I forgot to take any pictures until the kids were all in the car & I made them get out to take one family picture in the parking lot. Bummer.
Carson's preschool party. There's something to be said about a costume that's warm & completely covers the child from head (don't have to do his hair) to toe (no morning fights about wearing jeans vs. sweat pants). And, he looks so cute as a shark. Sadie's school Halloween parade. So fun! She looked so cute as a mermaid. Going out to trick-or-treat. We were going to make Gracie a hula monkey to go along with the oceanic theme, but the theme of the week was "whatever" and so she was just a monkey.

And then, the pumpkins.

(This is Nate's creation, I can't take any credit. ...The pumpkin, not the baby. I can take half the credit for that one.)
After weeks of keeping it a secret, we finally announced we are expecting #4!!! We are excited to bring another child into our family. I am 13 weeks along & due in early May.
