Bump Update

Apparently there are a few of you out there that get enjoyment out of watching me get larger by the minute so this post is for you! :) I have reached the 7 month mark and now have to actually "waddle" when I walk up and down the stairs. Ladies you know what I'm talking about! Thank goodness the weather is getting warmer so I no longer need to depend on my husband to remove my shoes.... whoever invented flip flops...I love you! I'm so glad we're on the home stretch and I'm really starting to get excited about this little guy who loves to tap dance on my bladder. I'm so curious if he'll look more like Logan or Carson. Perhaps he'll be completely unique in his own way....only time will tell.

The results are in.....

5 month bump

IT'S A BOY!!!! It turns out Weston is one dominant male sperm! I'm so happy to report that he's perfectly healthy and we all know that's really what is important and such a blessing. Plus think of all the money I'm going to save since I don't have to do ANY shopping!! Now I can buy the fun stuff that I WANT instead of the boring stuff I NEED! Now if we could only decide on a name....

Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning...still dark outside!

















Santa got Logan the Wii...I think it helped that I really wanted one also. Now I just have to get Mario cart!


Playing Super Smash Bros.


Me and Kelly. We had Christmas dinner at the Smith's house.

Naughty or Nice?

The boys were so exited to visit Santa this year! I love this age when they really believe in the "magic" of Christmas. Although Logan is starting to question a few things. When we were in line he said, "Mom I think this Santa looks different than the Santa from last year." How can he remember that far back? He was right though...and I have to say I liked the Santa from last year better! :) He's careful not to question too much though, because you can tell he really wants to believe! I have a feeling this might be our last Christmas playing "Santa" with Logan. Hopefully he'll enjoy playing along with his younger siblings next year! :)





Carson was a little intimidated at first, but as soon as Logan went up he followed. Santa spent a few minutes chatting with them which I thought was nice.



I'm going to miss this part as they get older!

Logan is turning 6!!

We had an early birthday party for Logan on Saturday. The kids all had a blast eating pizza and ice cream cake and then topping that with some bowling and playing arcade games. I was surprised at the bowling skills of the kids (some of them didn't even need the bumpers!) Thanks again to all of Logan's friends that were able to come and celebrate his special day!





I had to get a picture of the ridiculously large bowling pin cup Logan got!


Getting ready for some yummy ice cream cake!




Present time...thanks for the great gifts everyone!





Future North Branch, MN bowling league! :)


Look at that form! haha


This is Carson's happy dance which he would only do if he knocked at least 4 pins down!


Hmmm...too many games to choose from!

The perfect tree!

Every year we get our tree at a Christmas tree farm that's across the street from our neighborhood. Weston and I love the convenient location and the boys love the candy canes and hot apple cider! O.K. I lied...I go for the candy canes too! :) I'm so glad we finally got some snow this last week. It's just not as fun hunting for a tree in the dirt!

What do those elves do all day?

Every year the Macy's in downtown Minneapolis creates a holiday display on their 8th floor. This year the theme was "A Day in the Life of an Elf." It was great! The boys had so much fun and it really gets everyone in the holiday spirit. Our friends Molly, Quinn, and baby Georgia joined us this year. We got to see Santa's Toy Workshop, The Sweet's Shop, The North Pole-Stall Office, The Christmas Tree Forest, and the Elves' tiny little bunk beds! Thanks again Molly for coming with us!
