We had such a nice weekend together!  We spent last Saturday at the Riverwoods, and soaked in some much needed sunshine. 
 Here are some photos of my 38 week belly.  Only a week and a half until my induction!


 We met my grandparents and Aunt Julie and her family at Tucanos for lunch.  Such a perfect way to spend one of our last weekends out for a while!
 Love these boys-  I can't believe there will be one more to join them in just a few days!

Our Jack is growing up!

This first picture is taken from a little over a year ago-
 And this one is from just the other day on the same spot on the couch.  I can't believe how quickly Jack is growing!

Finally Snow!

 Finally we have some snow now that it's the middle of March! Ned has been telling Jack that we don't eat snow, because animals pee in it, but the moment we were outside Jack had this huge piece in his mouth and he ate the whole thing!
 Jack has been so excited to make a snowman, so we set out to make a great big one, but he was plenty cold by the time the first level was done, so we settled for a munchkin snowman.  He's giving it a kiss.  Or taking a bite.  We're not really sure.
 A couple days later, the snow was in a much better condition for packing, so Daddy helped us make him into a true snowman after church.  We also had the funnest impromptu snowball fight right there in our church clothes!  Jack's poor hands are freezing.
 Giving his friend a hug:


Best Winter Ever!

 This is the warmest winter I have ever spent in Utah, and Ned could not be happier about it!  We decided to take Jack up into the canyon in February since we still hadn't seen any real snow yet.  He loved it.  
It was so nice to visit the snow without having to deal with shoveling it or yucky driving conditions.  A warm winter has worked out nicely for me too, since none of my coats are zipping these days!

Little Buddies

Ross, Emily, and Dex moved to Texas this January.  These little cousins miss each other!  Look how cute they are sharing a story.  


Christmas 2011

We had a lovely Christmas this year.  We went over to Grandma Chamberlain's on Christmas Eve, then came home and spent the rest of the holiday with just the three of us.

  Jack opened up some new jammies on Christmas Eve.
He woke up and was so excited about the Toy Story fruit snacks, that he missed the stockings and presents!

 We opened stockings (including one for baby Tate), then had a nice relaxing breakfast.  How do you like Jack's bed head?

 After breakfast, we read the story of Jesus' birth and sang Away in the Manger.
 Then time for presents!






After presents, Ned and I both came down with stomach bugs, and we let Jack play all day with his new toys while we laid around sick.  Thank goodness for a little vacation time!
