Christmas prep

Look at Leo's face!! I had just wrapped him up in this swaddler thing and he just looked like a little caterpillar and he was happy as a clam.

This is our much commented on Christmas tree! We put candy canes and a star on it and Michaela loves it... so has Quiggley who has eaten a few of them.

This is an adorable outfit that Aunt Tanya and family sent us. Today was Leo and mines first time to church and this is what he wore while we sat up on the stand because coincidentally it was my first time back and I was asked to speak... I just gave birth 4 weeks ago! I thought that gave me immunity or something... just kidding it wasn't that horrible.

This was Michaela's Pinkalicious 3rd Birthday Party!!! Michaela was so cute about having a pinkalicious party just like her cousin Ellie. Aunt Carrilyne made the MOST delicious pink cupcakes ever!! Something about Carrilyne is just too perfect that I should be jealous but no one can be with Carrilyne she is just that good. Thanks Carrilyne for saving her birthday!


Michaela is a very good big sister. She hasn't been too jealous and has been very gentle with him...so far. wish us luck that she stays this way.

Photo session

OK I am a strange picture taker!!! I pick up the camera and just take a million pictures hoping that one will turn out well but I should already know that my babies are very photogenic so I don't need to take so many of one single event but since I have all these adorable pictures I have to share them. Even though you might think they are all the same, they are slightly different! He was just starring at me as I was flashing him in the face with the light. Leo is such a cute baby!
I am going to be honest and just say that Rob and I have very beautiful children!

Adorable face

Leo

This is LEO CHRISTOPHER MALCOLM!! He was born November 17th at 3:01pm. Leo was 10 lbs and 21 inches long and he has been such a great baby to cuddle and love... of course probably every baby is.

Random photos of the last two weeks

The top picture is of me and my best friend Risa at her baby shower. She is only 10 days from her due date!!! Not much longer Ri!!! You can do it. LOL well I didn't win any games at her shower but her sister's Jennie and Debbie, gave me a pity gift. (really cute dish towels). I was out in California just for Risa actually. She and her husband Chris got Sealed on the 21st of August!! Yay for the Riley's!!!
The pic of Michaela is at Grammy's house and it turned out weird but she is so cute playing with Momo's glasses I threw it in. She was a great little traveller.
This is a family portrait... Carrilyne says we need professional help!!! we are a difficult family to photograph. My smile is way too big but this photo is the best out of like 70 pictures.
This is my "temporary replacement ring" because my fingers swell randomly. I remember with Michaela my fingers got smaller at the end like my size 5 1/2 ring was close to coming off and now I am only 28 weeks and I have to put on my "fat" ring... hehe like "fat pants" get it? Ok now I am just being goofy... Well Happy Birthday to me!

Fireworks

4th of July

We had so much fun at Carrilyne's neighborhood BBQ. Yummy food and motorcycle rides made our day! I got great pictures of the fireworks. And I actually rode the dirt bike by "my own self" hehehe.

Visiting with Great Grandma Anne

I can't even remember how long ago we went to Grandma and Papa's house to see Grandma Anne and Aunt Vicki and I was planning on blogging about that first because it was so great to be able to spend time with both of those awesome ladies! But you know how my life moves... it kinda jumps around.
Anyway it was fun even though we were only able to spend one day it was wonderful to chat about all kinds of things with them. They told Rob and I about what Gramps did for a living and what he did for fun.
What I thought was a funny coincidence that Aunt Vicki said that as long as she can remember Gramps talked about retiring and Rob does that too!!! At not quite 26!!! Lol. Family is great.
I am so glad Michaela got to talk to Grandma Anne and show off for her. I got cute pictures and now we will be able to pull out those pics and we can talk about how sweet, ladylike and pretty Grandma Anne is.
Rob was so happy to see them and he just talked with them and asked tons of questions and we could have talked a lot longer I think. Rob is also the one who took the picture of the beautiful flowers in front of his parents. Their yard is gorgeous.

New Background!

Ok Carrilyne, I hope this makes you happy. I would have you know that I have been trying to change the background for 3 months but couldn't figure out how to take the old one off.

Camping part 3

Carrilyne came up in the morning with the kids and we had a little party in the van when it rained. We also went on two or three little hikes but I forgot my camera every time!!! Look at Milo's grin! He is so adorable! Michaela thinks that I am having a boy "like Milo" that I am going to be bringing Milo home from the hospital instead of a baby "brudder" of our own. Its so funny because I will tell her that Our baby will be our own and even though he is a boy "like Milo" he isn't going to BE Milo. Oh well she will figure it out I guess... lol

Camping part 2

In the morning Rob climbed way up this tree in our campsite and Michaela was like Wow thats too high! Rob is a cute climber!!!
