Stop-motion Christmas

Scott's version of a Christmas card. Merry Christmas everybody. Hope you have a good one.

Guess What?

We went to the doctor's office this week and found out that everything is great! We also found out that we are having a baby Girl!!!

Half way there...half way to go. I'll tell you one thing I NEVER thought I would be counting down the days before I was 3 months pregnant but I have been counting down for about 3 months already. It's definitely been the hardest pregnancy of them all. We are due in the middle of April.

Tell us what you think...these are the names that we like

Lindsey

Kenzie

Ellie

That is not in any particular order but there you have it. We are having baby number four and we are super excited about it!

Feeling Good

I have had one of those weeks where it seems like I can do anything.

The house has been clean for a few nights. I have accomplished TONS of things and it has just been one of those weeks when I feel like I have done something, ANYTHING really.

I haven't taken pictures of everything that I've done but I am going to post the last thing I did. I have wanted one of those storage cubbies for all of my kids toys for a long time. And we happened to have a bookshelf with only one shelf on it. So what did I do you ask? I took a hand saw and trust me I should have definitely used something else now that I am finished and looking back but hey I got it done. Anyway I took the handsaw and cut up that bookshelf and turned it into this....

Now all I need to do is go and find the little canvas bins to put into it. So if anyone knows where I can find them for pretty inexpensive I would love to know.

I need some HELP!

As most of you know I am the kind of mom that waits to potty train my kids until they are about 2 and 1/2 and can talk and tell me exactly when the need to go and all of that sort of stuff.

BUT...Megan has really taken to the toilet as of late and has done her #2 business in the toilet for over a week now. (Every day without fail...kind of nice not changing poopy diapers) So the problem is, I have NO idea how to potty train a 17 month old. Anybody have any ideas? She has #2 down but I don't even know if she recognizes when she pees. But I am just not sure I want to give this up because she LOVES the toilet so much. I mean SCREAMS when I get her off. I think it's because she sees her two older siblings going all the time.

SO ANY AND ALL IDEAS, CRAZY or NOT ARE MORE THAN WELCOME! Thanks in advance.

Guess What I Made...

Lately I have been wanting Buffalo Wings all of the time. There is this place here called Buffalo Wild Wings and it has about 12 different sauces and oh the goodness of the food. I love it. I was craving it the other day so what did I do...I made them at home from scratch. I made the boneless ones but they were good.

After we ate dinner Scott went over to the couch, reclined back and said "I feel like I just ate an all you can eat wing dinner at a restaurant without the buyers remorse." I made me feel good and it completely satisfied the craving. Better yet, it didn't cost us $20.

Katie's 4th Birthday

My little baby turned four on the 28th of September. I am still letting that soak in that I actually have a four year old. We had such a fun time together as a family and Katie absolutely loved her birthday and proudly goes around telling everyone that she is four now.

We went to a place called Monkey Business and there is this big blow up slide, a blow up obstacle course, a jumpy house thing and almost like a ropes course type thing. The kids had a blast.
There was this toy house too, that Katie enjoyed apparently.
She got a dress up box (the pink box) for her birthday and has been putting on princess dresses ever since. I have lost my Katie and now MUST call her Cinderella.
She wanted a Tinkerbell cake and has been asking for it for about 2 months so I decided I would attempt it...just kidding. I printed off a coloring page off the internet, colored it, cut it out and stuck it on the cake. Katie was pleased.
It was a fun day and we really had a good time together!

A week in the life...

This week has been no different than usual. Just living and loving being a stay at home mom but I have to say how much I envy my husband this week. He gets to do so many amazing things, so I thought I would show you what his life consisted of this week in no particular order because my pictures always end up in a funky order anyway.

College game day came rolling into Boise...
Scott had a sideline pass at the Bronco football game.
He co-hosted the Women's fitness Celebration. There were over 11,000 women there.
It's America's largest women's 5K. People keep telling me how crazy he was.
The college football trophy came to KTVB.
That little crystal ball costs over $30,000!
And he gets to be on TV. But this week what takes the cake is I watched him give out an autograph. I can tell you one thing that is something I thought would never happen when we got married.
