Christmas Pedicure

Madi's finished product

Kelsi's finished product

Being 28 weeks pregnant definitely has it's draw backs. Case in point, swollen feet! Kelsi does such a good job giving pedicures that I begged her to give me one to make my fat toes look cute. Madi being the big helper she is, had to join in.

A Snowy Day!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow! We definitely got to enjoy a "white" Christmas and the kids loved every minute of it. They had so much fun playing in it, we had to beg them with hot coco to come inside.

Merry Christmas!

We spent Christmas in Emery County with my family and had a great time. Madi had so much fun with all her presents and playing with cousin Ryter. Santa (Grama) brought her and Ryter a fisher price video bike that you plug into the TV. They played it so hard that they stipped the screw on the peddle. She loved all her toys especially the "castrader" (cash register) that Pa and Grama Ekker bought her. She is so funny!
She was such a joy to watch and I look forward to the years to come to see the all the joy in her eyes.

Making Christmas Treats

Madi went to Grandma B's to make some Christmas treats. She was such a good helper, especially when it came to taste testing.

A Visit from Santa

Madi had a visit from Santa on Friday night. She refused to sit on his lap but did tell him what she wanted for Christmas.

Madi's List:

Baby Iron man (a small figurine)

Play dough

Tinkerbell the movie

And for the baby: A Hippopotamus

I am so excited for this Christmas. It has been so much fun teaching and watching Madi learn about Jesus' birthday and Santa. She is such a joy!

Gum Thief!

Over Thanksgiving weekend My Mom and Syd came up to help me get our house ready to put on the market. While there, Syd kept her bags in Madi's room. Saturday night I looked in Madi's room to check on her before I went to bed. When I looked in her room I saw some little papers on her floor so I walked in her room and found an EMPTY pack of gum and gum wrappers. She had eaten about 10 pieces. I guess she needed a bedtime snack!

The next morning I showed her the empty pack and asked her what happened. She said "I ate it!" When I asked her where she got it, she stated with a smile, "in Syd's pack pack!"

You can't help but love them no matter what!

Studying

While we were at my moms house, Madi found some play glasses and thought she was so funny wearing them. We asked her to show the glasses to Lincoln. She went running in the bedroom and came out wearing them and had Syd's Scriptures in her hand. She sat herself down on the couch and began to read. It was so funny, she kept a serious face the intire time and did not want to even look at us.

Happy 50th Mom!

We had a surprise 50th birthday party for my mom at the mortuary. We had the hurst come and pick her up at the house and then we all followed behind in the procession. Once at the mortuary we had a program lined out and ate dinner. It was alot of fun and she was very surprised. We hope you had a great birthday mom. We Love You!

Sorry I don't have alot of pictures of it, Tyson took most of them.

Thankful

I know it has been awhile since I have blogged, so I will do a little catch-up! This Thanksgiving I am so thankful for my Wonderful family! I am blessed with a wonderful husband, an amazing daughter that never seizes to amaze me, and a healthy growing boy that we can't wait to meet! I have wonderful parents that are always willing to go out of their way for us, an awesome brother and two beautiful sisters that I admire and love dearly.

Matt and I have been very busy this past month getting ready to change paths. For those of you who don't know, I got a new job the end of Oct and Matt just got a job offer last week with the Highway Patrol. We will be moving to the Uintah Basin with in the next six months so we are busy trying to sell our house, find a new one and getting ready to have a baby. We are so thankful for this opportunity to follow our dreams and that it is getting us one step closer to "home."

Thank you all for being part of our lives!
