Four Generations

On Sunday we went to visit with my Grandma, The Girl's Great-Grandma. It was her birthday! The Girl sang her "Happy Birthday" with us, along with "Jingle Bells" and a few other songs. She also showed off her dancing moves and somersaults. She was quite the busy body at the nursing home, making everyone smile as we passed them in the halls, but still very sweet and fun. I know she made my Grandma's day and we are so glad we took the time to visit with her.

First Adventure with Ice Skating

On Saturday we took The Girl on her first time ice skating at the Seven Peaks Ice Arena. She had so much fun! She loved holding our hands as we helped her glide across the ice. She loved jumping and doing "woopsie-daisies" on the ice. T and I got pretty tired of holding her up so we took a few brakes to watch the other skaters. The Girl saw one girl do a spin and said "okay, (I'll) try it." Later she watched another skater do a jump and she said "I want to do a jump now." She was not afraid to go fast or try to go on her own. We even let her fall a couple times to see what it was like. It was such a fun family activity! T is ready to take her skiing next!

The Girl is funny!

Last week, The Girl was enjoying playing with her Daddy when she suddenly got a little rub from his rough cheek.

Girl: "Oow."
T: "Oh, I'm sorry. Is my face scratchy?"
Girl: "Yeah. I think you need to mow your cheek."
Well, I told my family this story at Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone laughed. After the laugher stopped The Girl said, "Mow your cheek, ha ha. Laugh everyone! Ha ha! Laugh everyone!"
She figured out that she was pretty funny and thought we would all just keep laughing at her. So cute!

Have you heard?

Yes, we are expecting! The Girl is going to be a big sister! I am due on April 29 and super excited. I was pretty sick the first three months but it seems to be getting better as long as I eat continuously. T has been a wonderful help around the house and with The Girl, and many of my friends have brought dinners and taken The Girl for a few hours to give her some much needed attention. She likes to talk to my belly and give it kisses. She is going to be a great big sister!

Happy Halloween!

The Girl had a great time trick or treating last night. It was a cold night, but not as cold as last year. Luckily The Girl's costume included gloves! :D She was the cutest girl out there!

She loved getting lots of candy. We would be leaving one house and The Girl would say "Okay, let's go get some more candy." The Girl would sometimes run to the next house. She only asked one person for more candy after they had given her some. That's pretty good! She loved seeing all the other kids out all dressed up and even ran into some friends as we were trick or treating.

Then after ward we got to have homemade donuts with our friends. YUMMY! I had my pregnant share and The Girl's share. It was a really fun Halloween night. The Girl asked me what I was dressed as and I said I was just going to be a mommy tonight. She seemed okay with that idea too.

We also have pictures of carving our pumpkins the night before and how great they all turned out. And if you can't tell... The Girl's is a cat and mine is a witch with crazy hair.

Last weekend, The Girl got to go to a costume birthday party! They decorated pumpkins and went trick or treating at the neighbor's house. The Girl also enjoyed telling all the kids what to do. They started the party with coloring but after a few kids arrived The Girl announced it was time to clean up so they could party. Then she got up and said "it's time to dance" and started dancing. She seemed to know all about how this party was supposed to go. It was cute.
