My little eskimo ready to play in the snow! :)

Ok so this blog thing isn't letting me post more pics so I'll post more on my facebook page later

catching up

Well, where do I start. Jed came home last week late Wednesday night and brought his brother down with him. We had alot of fun! Friday I had a Dr. appointment and we had our first ultrasound!! Everything looks great the baby has a great heartbeat! Mariah was so cute, there was a big tv that she could see the baby on it and she kept pointing to it and saying how she going to be a big sister! She also calls the baby a "Shark baby" because I've shown her pics of what the baby looks like right now and she says it looks like a shark :) She is being so cute! After the Dr. I sat in the back with Mariah and was talking with her about the baby and I told her when the baby gets bigger in my tummy then she can feel the baby move and the baby can give her high fives and say "high five sista". She thought that was hillarious!

Well after the drs. that night Jake and Kristen took all the girls to the YMCA for a game night thing, so all us adults went out to a steak house. We had alot of fun just hanging out, talking, roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. Saturday Me, Jed Mariah and Jordon went bowling. It was Mariahs first time and she had a blast, she bowled a couple strikes and did really well overall. It was my second time bowling, we played two games, the first game I kicked butt!! :) the second game..not so much, but it was still a great family fun time!

Sunday the boys went golfing for like 6 hrs, but they had a fun time. Then we had a really big dinner with honeybaked ham, homemade mashed potatos, corn on the cob, all that good stuff, (It was Jakes Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner since he was in Afganistan.) Then we played games and had a good time. Monday Mariah had dance and she didn't want to go at first but she warmed up and started dancing, shes soo stinking cute!! :) Then we went to do taxes and were getting alot more back then we thought we would Yay! so were paying off some bills and going to Disneyland!!!! Monday night Jed and Jordon fixed up Mariahs car and gave it a new paint job, It looks so cute and Mariah had fun helping too. :) Tuesday we just relaxed and hung out at home since it was Jeds last day. He left that night around 10. Its always hard when he leaves, but we did so much when he was home so it felt like he was home longer which is always nice. His rigg is supposed to come to AZ after his next hitch, which would be really nice he would only be working about 1 hr from home and could possibly come home every night :)))

Well I think I've caught up on just about everything so, Later ;)

This week

On Sunday Mariah and I went on a trip to Flagstaff with Jake and Kristen and the girls. It was so much fun!! It was Mariahs first time seeing snow, and the two things she kept saying she wanted to do was to make a reindeer (not a snowman) and to throw snow balls at jake! :) She was so cute, she kept calling it a Winter Wonderland! All the kids had alot of fun but they all said they wouldn't want to live in snow because it gets to cold and I agree. They were all so cute all bundled up in their snow gear. I need to get pics on hear but I'm still trying to figure this blogging thing out. Any way we left Tuesday afternoon and I could tell Mariah wasn't feeling to well because while I was packing up she crawled up in one of the beds and fell asleep. She was fine on the way home, but then about 3 in the morning she started complaining of tummy aches and at about 4 she started throwing up till about 8! My poor baby! But after a long nap till about noon she was her normal self :) Then the rest of this week, we just spent hanging out, playing and doing some school work. I've been working with her on some school stuff and shes getting really good at tracing letters and recognizing letters! She suprises me :) I can't believe shes going to be starting pre school this year :( shes growing up so fast!
