Merry Christmas!

Our Littlest Rascal

Otay!

After alot of begging from the girls...

...we finally put up the tree and did some decorating. I love Christmas decorations, but hate putting them up. Call it lazy 'cuz that's basically what I am. Besides, I wasn't thrilled about hauling my pregnant self into the attic. Thanks especially to Nettie for help with the tree. (Can I hire you every year??) Now we get to deal with Sarah redecorating several times a day till sometime mid January.(You think I'm any less lazy about taking decorations down?)

It's a Boy!

Shocking isn't it? We didn't think it was possible, and now I'm wondering if I'm really ready for this change. Doh! The girls are absolutely excited for a boy. Let's hope they feel the same way after he's mobile. ;)

Here's the first picture (and possibly the only one I'll post cuz i'm so dang lazy) of my growing belly. Kate was the photographer. :)

Fun with Rocks (and getting through tight spots)

I'm a regular Dr. Seuss. I'm also much to lazy to write a good blog entry about our October jaunt to Moab. These will have to do...for now.

Is there anyone we haven't told?

Well if there is anyone who doesn't know, we are expecting baby #4 near the end of April. I swear we were just announcing our first! If you didn't know, it's only because I'm much too lazy/tired/sick to tell everyone personally. (Plus I'm sure most of you have lost count and figured I had 4 already.) I think it's more exciting each time because I feel like we may have learned one or two things about raising kids. Here's to one more little "educator"!

Making sure every bit of guts and seeds are scooped out

Ready to go, but there's a bunny missing...

Finally ready to go

The two brave ones knocked on the doors...

Posing for Preschool Pics

Bekah started preschool last week and was a great little poser for mom's first day shots. Now if only mom had skills with the camera.

Or could even take a freakin' shot without the doorknob.

I love those blue eyes. I wish I could show just how blue they are, but that would involve some talent, so you'll just have to believe me.
