Ho Ho Horror

Not even a balloon in one hand and a candy cane in the other could calm him. Oh the humanity!

Do I Look Pregnant Yet?

Just a tad...that there is 100% pure woman.

Here I am on Sunday December, 12th...29 1/2 weeks pregnant with Sovie Jane.

Yup, Sovie...with an "o." We decided to change it from Sauvie to make her life a little easier. Everyone who asks her name already thinks its Sophie, Sofie or if I really enunciate the "v" Sylvie. All great names, none of them are her name. Anyway, we feel good about it and we are now committed. (My mom called and said it was about to go on her stocking so you don't get much more committed than that, its hand knit!)

From what I can tell, she's a mover and a shaker and resides mostly somewhere around my heart. I have had some crazy dreams lately. One about her being born about a month old and smiley and super cute with thick, dark hair. We shall see! I can't wait to meet her. I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore.

Comet and Cupid

A few weeks ago we hitched up the wagon and headed out for a Friday family night on the town. Thanksgiving Point has two Reindeer, I think Comet and Cupid, available for a free pet and gander. We decided to head down since Berkley LOVES animals and have a little dessert from the Deli as well.

We had a good time AND none of us were mauled by antlers (I was pissing one of them off when I scratched its back and it almost took off my face with its rack.)

A Christmas Story Anyone?

This kid was bundled up good!

On Thanksgiving night we had our nephews Kaden (Shawn's side) and Easton (my side) over for a sleep over. These boys love to play together and they sure get crazy. To burn off a little energy Shawn took them out to sled, they took off before I could get their picture but I had to get some of my boy all warm and cozy and crippled by over stuffed clothes.

If you're thinking that's a lot of snow, its nothing compared to the 8 more inches we got Sunday! Ay, ay, ay!

Lots To Be Thankful For

Like super sweet babies who shovel in their Thanksgiving Dinner shirtless (because even though I packed two pies, two kinds of sweet potatoes, a crock pot, a roaster oven, 4 folding chairs and a card table, a pack and play and a diaper bag I still managed to forget a bib)
And Shawn being silly with his cousin, the two of them were cracking themselves up making fun of poor JaKie's dinner rolls that didn't rise. I think the line of the day was, "I've sprinkled bigger things on my ice cream."
And spending time with family who both Shawn and I together and live out of state!

We had a lovely Thanksgiving, I hope you did too!

Best Friends

Usually Berky starts out with all three aliens in his bed and sometimes in a fit of rage he throws them all out, along with his blanket to protest going to bed...
On this particular night he was apparently too tired to finish the job and this guy landed on top of him. What a silly boy.
