Pregnant

I can finally feel good about announcing that I am pregnant. I am 12 weeks along, and I heard the heartbeat today. I feel much less anxious now. I am due November 18th, the weekend before Thanksgiving. The best part about that, is I should have my appetite back just in time for my mom's yummy Thanksgiving dinner. Yes she will be here and she is doing Thanksgiving! :) Great timing if you ask me! Only 28 more weeks to go! :)

Potty trained!

23 months old and potty trained. She is awesome!! It only took her a little over a day, which I attribute to a book I read, "Toilet training in Less than a Day". It would have taken her less than a day, but we got started late and i broke a rule by letting her take a much needed nap, which interrupted the program. Seriously though, the program is awesome, Jessie does everything herself except for turning on the light. She is a rock star and I am so lucky to be her mom!

Cousins

Because Jessie was so sick for a lot of the time we were in Utah and Idaho, I did not take as many pictures as I should have. So here are the pictures that I did get of her with her cousins. She had so much fun playing with them...i just wish we had cousins that lived close.

Bath Time
My sister Jill and 2 of her children. They have Ponies and Jessie was in Heaven!




Watching a movie with Jake.

Temple Square

While in Utah, we spent family home evening with Phil's sister Kendra and her family. We went to Temple Square to see all the lights. It was cold, but we had a great time.

This is Phil and Jessie with our nieces Missy on the left and Lindsey on the right.

The tree in the Joseph Smith Building.
Jessie absolutely LOVED Nick...he is a baby magnet! :)
Jessie all bundled up with Phil. She kept saying "cold, cold" which sounded more like cowd, cowd. so cute.
Charlie's Angels.
The lights on Temple Square were so pretty. It is amazing just how thoroughly they light up those trees.


What a great Family Evening!

TROUBLE

While staying with my sister MaryBeth in Tooele, Jessie found the bucket of flour. We were all down watching a movie, including Jessie (we thought). When I realized she was not down there, phil went looking for her. We heard Phil laughing and then call down to us that we need to come up and see this. We could not really scold her too much because it would not have been nearly as bad if we had been keeping a closer eye on her.

Thanksgiving

Our niece Melissa and her cousin Ryan singing Christmas carols.

Phils brother Zak and his girlfriend Serena.
Our Brother-in-law Allen and his mother Karen Holton.
Phil, his mom, and his brother Jeff.
Our sister-in-law Kim and Whitney our niece.
These are the only pictures that I took cause I was busy most of the day and evening with a sick baby, and Phil does not really take pictures unless I ask him too, and obviously I did not ask. :( I wish I had though.

Pennsylvania

This is at Christmas Land at Kraynaks. Kraynaks is a garden and home center. Every year they have a huge display for Christmas and for Easter. It was fun to take Jessie. She was watching everything pretty closely.

Phil and Jessie playing in the fall leaves. We were a little late to see all the beautiful colors, but there were still a few trees that were bright and beautiful.

My little Amish baby. She did not really like the bonnet, so this was the best picture i got of her with it on.
