Snow!

Yesterday was our first real snow this year. It was also Jack's first real experience with it. It was first thing in the morning and he was dying to go out. So I just stuck gloves on him and a hat so he could check it out...looks like i should have got him into all of his snow gear with how covered he got...I think he loved it. Although, he didn't really like being whitewashed...

Right now i love snow. Its so beautiful and peaceful, can't wait for a little more because yesterday, we bought a sled and tomorrow we hope to test it out :)

Family weekend

These 4 people are the reason we headed south for the weekend. G-ma and Pa P were in town from their mission in Nauvoo so we celebrated Thanksgiving early with them. Peter was also speaking in church on Sunday before we leaves tomorrow. It was good to see and be with the grandparents and Peter did such a great job on Sunday, he's so excited to get out of here and serve the Lord that its hard to think much about missing him. He's going to be a great missionary. I'm so grateful for the example of my siblings, they really are the greatest, i love watching them grow and move on in their lives. Soon Emily will be leaving too, i just can't believe it

We had family pictures while we were with the entire family, i think they're going to turn out great, here's just a pic of Jack playing around in his totally studly outfit...

 And this wonderful man is the one that told me i look ready to pop, and "aren't you due like tomorrow?" Well if I look like i'm due tomorrow, what does that make him???

Thanks for the great weekend everyone!

(since i've really been wanting to take weekly pictures of this pregnancy but havent' gotten around to it yet, this will have to work as my 30 week belly)

shopping

Last night i had to make a run to the store. Jack wanted to bring he bear. He held it like this the entire time. I had to snap a pic

first black eye

Ever since Jack's learned how to stand up, he has tried to stand up in the tub, we're always telling him to sit down but this is one concept that he just won't learn, anyway, last Saturday he slipped and fell and hit his upper cheek on the side of the tub and every day since, the bruise just keeps spreading. I've felt really bad about it everytime i look at him but he didn't and doesn't seem to bother him.

I've been trying to get a good real picture of this ever since it happened but mostly i've been unsuccessful, so here'a  few from my phone

Just after:

Today:

I hate it when he gets hurt, like really hurt, but i think he just might have learned his lesson, and thats probably a good thing.
