I keep my promises! (eventually)

Okay, it's been more than "a day or two", but a second post in the same month is pretty darn good for me, right?!

I have been very sick with this pregnancy. I started with morning sickness about the first week in August and about the end of November it finally started to go away. This fourth pregnancy has definitely been the hardest, but I am feeling much better now and am looking forward to Christmas and family visits and at the end of March the birth of our new BABY BOY!!


These next pictures are the only ones I have taken since August. I wish there was more to share, but I just haven't felt well enough to do much of anything.

In August I got to visit Shayna and Joseph in New York. I went with my mom and my brother Will. I was ill the whole time, but it was still an awesome experience!

This is the view of Times Square from our hotel room.

Me, Mom and Will at the Statue of Liberty!

LAGOON!

This is the one picture I took at Dan's work Lagoon party.

FIRST SNOW!

The first snow of the winter and the kids had to get out and play!

There wasn't much snow on the ground so they made snow angels on the trampoline.

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN!

It snowed all day yesterday and the kids had a blast building Frosty and playing in the snow with their dad!

We will definitely have a White Christmas here at home. It is supposed to snow more than a foot tomorrow on top of the foot we already got! I hope you all have a wonderful holiday. I can't wait to see those of you who will visit in the next few weeks and for the all those who we won't see and who we miss - Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Hello again......

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I will post some pictures in the next day or two (I promise!). In the meantime, you can admire my blog's new look. :)

Number Four on the Way!!

We want to announce that our fourth child will arrive

in about 8 months. I am thrilled and after Danny got over

the shock (we weren't exactly planning this) he is excited too!

And......we're back!

Hi Everyone!
I think it is time to update the blog. I know it has only been 3 1/2 months - is it too soon? J/K
I thought I would post a picture or two of the main events over the past few months. Hope you enjoy!

Ben's Birthday!

Ben had a Star Wars birthday party. Here he is in his Storm Trooper costume!

We played "Pin the Light Saber on the Jedi"

Easter

The kids coloring eggs.

Las Vegas

Dan had a conference down in Vegas and I got to go with him. We didn't take many pictures, though. Here is our hotel room at The Palazzo. Pretty fancy, huh?

There were flat screen T.V.'s in the sitting area, in front of the bed and also in the bathroom! (Notice it above the left sink).

Will's Birthday Banner!

We made a sign for Will from all his nieces and nephews.

Here is Grandma and Grandpa holding the finished sign.

San Francisco!

Dan had to do some training in California for two weeks. I got to visit him for the weekend.

Dan and I near Frisherman's Wharf.

Me at Alcatraz.

View of the city from Alcatraz.

Pine Wood Derby!

Easton had his first Pine Wood Derby! He took second place over all!

Danny made a car for Ben too!

Hike to Timpanogos Cave.

The kids with Grandma and Grandpa outside the exit from the cave.

Pretty Flowers for Old Grandma.

Here is Joely with some of the flowers from Old Grandma's funeral. Sadly, I don't have any digital pictures of Grandma Ercanbrack. What was I thinking? We love you, Grandma, and we'll miss you.

Easton's Baptism

What a great week for Easton! He had his eighth birthday and was able to be baptized!

Miss J.

Joely was forced to give up the bottle recently. I told her she is a big girl now. She said " I grow up?"

"Yes, Joely," I replied, "You have grown up!"

Her response: "Oh, man! I can't grow down?"
