What's your problem?

I wish I had a picture to go along with this but I don't. Malorie has become very good at playing pretend (Thanks to her very creative and playful sister). Our favorite character that she takes on is a superhero. She ties a blanket on as a cape and then she will come up to us and say, "I'm a superhero....What's your problem?" How valient! :)

The wrath of mom

The other night the girls were downstairs and I was up. Annalie was coming upstairs to tattle on Malorie. Apparently Malorie was in hot pursuit but could not keep up. When Annalie got to me Malorie just stopped dead in her tracks in the kitchen. Annalie told on her and was given the response of "work it out". As she ran to go back downstairs she met Malorie who was still standing in the kitchen and Malorie wispered, "What did Mom say?"
What a turkey. It is scary that at three she knows what buttons to push on Annalie and she knows that there will more than likely be a punishment.

Twenty tiny fingers

We got a package from Great Grandma Day that had some gloves in it for the girls. They are very cute "people" gloves and the girls LOVE them! We put them on at least five times a day just because they are so cute.

Matt's big day

Matt has finally entered his 30s. He told me that his 31st birthday is a big deal because he is now officially IN his 30s and he isn't JUST 30 anymore. What a big step! We had a HUGE party with the girls and my parents and an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen! We sure love our Matt and we love every chance that we get to celebrate him!

A Brand New Day!

The time has come to announce that we are pregnant! We are super excited! I am due at the beginning of June. I am considered high risk which means I have had more ultrasounds in this first twelve weeks of pregnancy with this baby than I had in the entire pregnancy with Malorie. :) Annalie has been very interested and very concerned about this pregnancy. She has a lot more questions this time around. This morning she asked me when our baby would get a brain. We are looking forward to a FULL pregnancy and I am looking forward to getting big. :)

It's finally here!

James' headstone is finally here and in place. It is nice to be able to see his little name when we go visit. I am going to try and make some cute flower arangements to go in the vase (it is the circle on the top of the headstone). We just wanted to share this so that our out of town family could see it!

Tricking and treating

We had a great Halloween this year! The past two years we have had to cancel out on a lot of Halloween fun because we were near wildfires in California and because of the smoke we couldn't be outside. This year the weather was perfect. I usually expect the first good snow of the year to be on Halloween but this year it was 75 degrees and perfect! Annalie was dressed as a baby and Malorie was dressed in a Dora Princess dress but if you asked her what she was she would tell you that she was a mermaid or that she was a fairy. I guess you can be whatever your imagination lets you be. We went out trick-or-treating as a family and then Malorie and I went home and Annalie and Matt continued on with Grandma Day. They had a lot of fun and brought home A LOT of candy!
