New Baby

I think it is about time for me to officially announce that we are expecting baby number two. Last week we found out that we are having a girl. I'm so excited to have a little girl to dress up!!!

Family visit

About a week ago my two sisters came to visit us in twin falls for a few days. They brought my youngest brother Luke and then all of Jami's kids, Trenton, Sadie, and Raega. It was a house full. It was so much fun. We pretty much just stayed at our apartment and hung out. We made baby hair bows, played games, and just talked.



We put on lots of movies for the kids to keep them occupied!! Especially at night when Jami and I were trying to put all the kids to bed. We would put on a movie and then put the kids to bed in shifts so they wouldn't keep eachother awake. We had Zach in our bedroom with us and the rest of the kids in Zach's room. The first night Jami and Kelsey slept in the room with the kids (6 people in one room!). That wasn't a great night so the other two nights they slept out in the living room.


Kelsey was the lucky one who got to sleep in!!!

I love the look on Zach's face in this picture. he looks terrified that Raegan is about to touch him.

Blog

My friend Alisha likes my blog! Hooray! Now I have to tell you all 5 things I love. So, here are five things I love...

1). I love it when someone plays with my hair. It is absolute heaven.

2). I love digital scrapbooking. I do it almost everyday! It is my favorite thing to do while Zach is napping...

3). I love Zach's nap time. 2 hours of ME time everyday.....

4). I love running. Although, I'm getting sort of big and my stomach is sore after each run.

5). I love visiting family.

Now I tag...

Christmas Morning

Mark is at work so I thought I would post a few pictures of our morning. Zach really liked opening presents and loves playing with his new toys. Which is another reason why I can post, Zach is occupied.

Sundance

We spent a few days at a Cabin at Sundance with my family. It was so much fun but the drive up there was kind of crazy. We went up Monday at it was snowing like crazy!! Mark along with a few others of my brothers and sister went up earlier to get a full day of skiing in but weren't able to get up there until about noon because of weather. They had to stop and get chains to get up the mountain. The rest of us went up a little later in the day but had to sit at the bottom of the canyon because there was a controled Avalanche and it needed to be cleaned up before anyone could drive up. We waited at the bottom for about an hour with screaming kids. Zach was starving and sick of being in the car after driving for about 4 plus hours ( it would normally take a little over an hour).

It was so fun once we got up though. The cabin was so neat. It had a private hot tub in the back. We made a nice turkey dinner that night and eat while watching the football game. Mark and I ended up leaving the next day around noon because Mark had to make it back to work by Wednesday morning. It was short but we still had lots of fun. Mark had fun snowboarding. It has been a long time since he has gone so he had lots of fun in the snow.

Christmas at the Valentine's

We celebrated Christmas with my family a few days before Christmas. Mark had the weekend off plus Monday and Tuesday so we went to Kaysville to visit my family for a few days before going up to Sundance Mon & Tues.

Zach's First Encouter with Snow

Last night we finally got some now here in Twin Falls. So this morning while Tiff was out running, Zach and I went out to check out the snow. Zach didn't quite know what to think about it. He didn't mind it at first, in fact he kind of liked walking through the snow and hearing it crunch under his feet.

But, he took a little spill he got snow all over his mittens. When the snow stuck to his mittens I think he started having seconds thoughts about the snow.

When he realized that he couldn't get the snow off he started screaming and yelling until I brushed it off. We stayed outside a little bit longer before we went in.

When he realized that the snow was still on his mittens in the house he was really mad, he started yelling again until all of his clothes that had any snow on them were off before he calmed down. Then he avoided the entryway where his snowy clothes were for a few hours. It was really funny, but I hope our next adventure in the snow is a little more enjoyable for him.

Getting Ready for Christmas

We made christmas cookies tonight. Zach ate more frosting than cookie!!

We finally got our Christmas tree up on Thursday. Zach loved it. He loves the lights!
Zach is actually taking the ornament OFF not on.

Zach's New Interest

Zach has found a new hobby, it's kind of strange but really funny. He has started randomly putting on our shoes and walking around in them. I guess he's just checking out who wears cooler shoes, mom or dad. The funny thing is he does it every day. The dates on these videos were: Dec 4, Dec 5, and Dec 7. He's really cute. Here's a video:




And a couple of pictures:

Kaysville

We spent a few days in Kaysville after Thanksgiving.

Black Friday. My mom, kelsey, and I went shopping at 3:30am!! We got a lot of deals but spent a lot of time in lines.
