Finding that PERFECT TREE!











Emma's reaction to the snow falling on her nose!

This boy loves the snow!
Making a snow angel!




We decided to go and cut down our very first Christmas Tree this year! With our good friends Bart and Dana Brown and their kids we devised a plan, and went and purchased our permits, $5 for up to a 12ft. tree! Then we headed out towards the Kelly Canyon Ski Resort to start shopping! As we got closer the snow started coming down in big beautiful flakes. PERFECT! It was cold, but we were bundled from head to toe and our spirits were high! Our first stop was where the video was taken and unfortunately we didn't find a tree there....too "Charly Brownish!" So we kept on going up the mountain, eventually we had to pile in the Browns suburban which was a party! We finally realized that we just needed to pick one and cut it down cause we probably could have kept looking for bigger and better all day! Right Dana? I think it was Brian's idea to pick a small mountain to climb to find our tree.....and so the climb began. It truly was a Winter Wonderland....the snow made it so much fun, we had snowball fights on our way up. I actually climbed to the top of the Mountain and the trees somehow all started looking really good at this point. We made our pick and started the slide down.....we were glad it wasn't uphill anymore! What fun we had together making terrific Christmas memories with such dear friends! We ended the day with Wendy's and a trip to SAMS, what a day to remember!

Bread Day

As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
