Kimmy was here!

We were lucky to have my sister Kim visit us for Thanksgiving. She is going to school at BYU Idaho studying Business. We had a good time playing games and eating lots of food. She helped to prepare the pies and rolls - her rolls turned out the best. We hope she had fun here. Love you Kimmy.

1st Photo Shoot!

Yesterday we had our ultrasound. Our little girl is growing up. She is measuring one day early. It was such a fun experience to see her and know that all is well. They made a DVD for us and took some pictures. I thought we would share a couple with you.

This is her profile shot! Cute button nose and all.

Here she has tucked her chin down on to her chest.

This is a shot of her legs. She is crossing them at the ankles. Such a lady.

I'm so grateful for this opportunity and modern technology. We were able to see so much. Some highlights of the DVD are her big plump lips, hearing and seeing her heartbeat and of course confirming that she is a she. I didn't post the "I'm a Girl!" because well let's be honest a little modesty isn't such a bad thing. ;)

Berry Agreeable

Richard the amazingly talented man that he is created a Thanksgiving centerpiece for our table. He just sniped a few berry branches from our yard and tada!

On Saturday we finally found a bed set we both agreed on. It only took us 7 months! We found two duvet covers at ikea. 

Nice Booties!

I've decided to crochet some baby booties for our little girl.

I love the brown and pink combo!

Thanksgiving Prep

This year Richard and I are hosting Thanksgiving at our house. I'm nervous and excited as it will be the first time I've attempted to make my own Thanksgiving dinner. Richard has promised to help of course and my Mom is going to be here too. I decided to get a head start on a few table decorations. Here are my Place Cards and Napkin rings. I figured I have so much fun craft stuff I should use it. It was a fun little project.

Connected

Hello Friends!

Good news... we now have our own internet connection. I can finally post again. I hope you are prepared for an update.

First:

We are excited to announce that come next April we will be welcoming a very cute baby Girl! We found out last week. She was so cute in the ultrasound. We were able to see her little hand, feet and belly. I think she will have long legs and Richard's nose. 

Second:

We went to Idaho to visit with Richard's sister Kim and to meet up with Richard's parents and brother Sean who just returned for his mission. This was the first time I've met Sean. I'm happy to report that we hit it off quite well. I hope he agrees. He was able to come and visit us in Utah for a few days. We also had Richard's sister and her family staying with us too. It was a full house and we loved it.

Third:

Halloween! This year we had a Halloween BANG! party with our friends Gavin and Amy. It was so fun. I made homemade Chili, Chipotle Chicken Cornbread Cups and Taffy Apple Tartlets. Gavin and Amy made Butterbeer. It was a yummy dinner. We then made outlaw bandanas and played one of our favorite games BANG! Good times.
