Snow fun :)

I love John's days off. This is what we did for the last one. It was awesome. John built a little hill in the back yard and we all went sledding down it. Jack especially loved it. So fun 

He'd go all by himself on this little tube and was loving it.

(of course we were hoping it'd put me into labor....no such luck)

Happy (3rd) Due Date

Well, today is the day we've all been waiting for....out of the 3 due dates that i've had, this is the last of them. January 24th, i can't believe it. I've been dialated to a 4 for at least a week and a half now and still, nothing. I'm pretty sure we've tried everything (except caster oil) but today we're going to lunch (hot mexican style) and tonight i have a pre-natal massage scheduled. I'm excited about that. Someday i've got to go into labor right? I mean, i can't be pregnant forever. Wish me luck!

(40 weeks)

Tub Time

I love this little boy, and he loves the bath. I thought it'd try out the new camera in the tub, worked good :) 

P.S. Thanks everybody for the meal ideas! I"m still working on it but i think its going to work :) Especially after this baby comes, 

Update

Isn't life great? I figured you might all want an update. Jack's growing so much, he talks all the time and learns more every day. If we ask him where the baby is, he points to my belly. So fun

Last week was my 36 week appointment, i was checked and was dialated to a 3 and 70% effaced. For a couple of days there we really thought she was on her way here, now i think she's content to be in there for a little while longer. John asked me today when i thought she was coming and honestly, i have no idea, sometime before February i hope. We are very excited to meet her, and i'm very excited to not be pregnant any more :)

I've been thinking about New Year's Resolutions lately and i have plenty of them. But one thing that i really want to do is prepare dinner every night and eat together. I've been a huge slacker in this area and i believe its costing us more money because many times we just end up going out....especially while i'm pregnant, but i think its time to be a good mom and wife and make dinner a priority :) So, if anybody has had success at this i'd love some advice! My hardest part is coming up with something to make. I want to plan ahead, be prepared with meals and have lots and lots of ideas.... Anyway, that may be the only goal i'll share...maybe not but for now, i think i better go make sure i'm fulfilling the rest of my New Years Resolutions! Happy New Year!

Sledding!

Since I'm not really in any condition to do much sledding i just played with my camera the whole time and loved it! Here's what i got!

Jack didn't really enjoy himself. I don't think he was feeling very good and i think he was a little cold but he was pretty happy to finally get back to the warm house. We had a lot of fun though!

Fisher Family Party

The Fisher family party was in Manti this year so Jack and I stayed an extra day for that. It was fun filled with food, sledding and skeet shooting. Jack and i didn't last very long in the cold but we made the most of our time there :)

Grandpa O took Jack down the hill and i guess he hated it. Oh well, he'll learn to love it i'm sure :)

Grandma's came to visit....

 And Jack was such a great helper
