She's here!!!

Emma Grace was born November 20TH at 5:30 AM.

I know I should have blogged sooner but things are crazy with two kids.

It's a hard adjustment for all of us.

Luckily I have an AMAZING husband who took a month off work to help me out.

Emma sleeps really good in the day, not so much at night.

She was kind enough to give us 2 nights where she slept 6 hours, which was fantastic.

Bella has been having a hard time.

She told me she wants me to put Emma back and we should just get a dog.

Halloween

We had lots of fun this year but I forgot to take pictures. Blame it on the pregnancy.

Bella was a Lady Bug this year.

She wanted to be a horse until she saw the red shoes that went with this outfit.

James ran 13.1 miles in costume.

We are Juno and Bleaker if you couldn't tell.

My marathon runner!

Me and Bella carved this pumpkin. Can you guess what it is supposed to be?!

Duh, obviously it's, Hello Kitty!

Bella says the darndest things

Bella is at the cutest age.

She is starting to say some really funny things that I thought I would share.

B: Mom, remember when I we got Ice Cream and I threw up on your pants?

M: Yes I remember. It was a big mess hu?

B: Oh, Mom! I have a great idea! Lets go get Ice Cream today!

B: I wanna go to Disneyland

M: Maybe one day. We can't go today it's to far.

B: Let's just get in the car and see how far we get. Then Dad can meet us there.

B: Remember when we went to the Sand Dunes and that guy had blood on his arm?

M: Ya, I remember....

B: Ummm... I think he was texting and driving like you do.

Driving in the cold I notice Bella was breathing really hard.

M: Bella, what are you doing?

B: I am just getting all the smoke out of me.

Projects

I have been making lots of projects lately, Here are a few. The picture quality isn't that great. Most of them are from my phone.

My mom needed some Halloween cupcakes, so we came up with these.

Car seat carrier for our baby!

Bella wanted to paint a Ghost.

She did the white all by herself.

I painted this for baby's room.

(still might change her name though)

Just a cute pic of Bella painting her ghost.

sand castle at the Sand Dunes

I'm just trying to keep myself busy to keep my mind off being pregnant.

I am ready for her to finally get here!

Ride it

This week I have spoiled Bella and my husband a little bit.

Why not right? They both deserve it.

I took Bella to Jungle Jim's The dirtiest place ever!

(I can't elieve that was my first job)

Then we went to Incredible Pizza and Bella was to little to ride the rides there but we played games, ate lots and got this sweet picture.

And then my husband bought something for himself that he can ride.

He found something he loves more than me now.

Well my spoiled family, it's my turn to go take a ride to the spa and get a pedi.

Baby info

We just found out today.

I am so excited we are having another girl!!

Bella kept saying it was a brother but when we told her boys don't play with barbies and they don't like the color pink she was pretty excited to have a sister coming.

I'm with the band

We went to the Utah Arts Festival to see this amazing band.

You can listen to their music here.

Ya that amazing voice, I like to call her my friend.

She is so good she gets 80 year old men to get up from the audience and dance his little heart out.

Here is her beautiful face.

Here is two more beautiful faces.

She even got them dancing their little legs off.
And here is an Ashlee sandwich, Tara is in the middle.
Way to go A.C. You did awesome!

North Dakota

I know this post will overwhelm you with excitement.

When we went to North Dakota this is pretty much all we saw. (I know so exciting)

But then we saw this huge cow on the side of the mountain.

Even though it was so windy we could barely stand up we figured we better take advantage of the huge cow.
Then there was more fields and more fields so we decided why not take pictures of ourselves while driving. ( I know mom, we were being safe! LOL)

And that's pretty much all there is to tell about the Dakota's.

Go ahead and tone down your excitement now.

Vacay

Since we bought our trailer, we still haven't used it.

We decided to get our money's worth and go somewhere.

Why we choose the Dakota's don't ask me.

( I get to choose next year and were hitting up the beach)

I will start with South Dakota since that is the most interesting.

This is the coolest place for little kids. They had a castle and cute little animals everywhere. Bella though she was in Disneyland, it was called Story Book Island. Best of all it was free.

Mt. Rushmore. I was pretty impressed.

Bella got to be a JR. Ranger and got a badge. And my Dad got to go on stage because he is a Veteran. Pretty cool.

We got a tour of the Fire Department.

Another thing that floated Bella's boat was the Dinosaur park. They only had 5 Dino's but it was free and pretty cool for her.

And lastly we went inside a cave. Scariest thing in my life. It was so steep I wasn't sure I was going to make it out of there alive but it was a fun adventure.

Marathon

My husband told me that he was going to run a Marathon. I of course just thought he was just talking crazy. But guess what, he did it! I am so proud of him.

I can't even walk 26.2 miles and he ran it. I have to admit my husband is pretty Amazing.

James and Seth. They finished the Marathon together.

He only got a bloody toe and a hurt knee out of it so I'd say it was a success.

Maybe one of these days I will get to run it with him.

Sweet Zoo Day

My sweet, sweet mom bought me a season pass to the Zoo.

I had the day off today, so why not go?

Here are the highlights of the day.

Eating sweet cotton candy

Bella and her Grandma on the train.

Bella the gopher

This sweet little baby put his face to the window and gave me a kiss.

I wanted to take him home so bad!

The baby Elephant loved the sweet strawberries.

My sweet baby girl

Our first ride on the carousel. She had to have the Zebra. She named him Marty.

We had lots of fun and I am super excited to go anytime we want thanks to my momma!

All in a few weeks

I noticed that it's been a whole 3 weeks since I have blogged.

I promise I have very good reasons why I have been so busy.

I have proof see...

We went to see these amazing creatures at the Aquarium.

Bella learned how to fly her kite.

We made some cake.

James let her lick the wisk.

We went swimming with friends. Bella was so AMAZING,

She went down this huge slide all by herself!

She wouldn't do it a second time, but at least she tried once.

We bought this, for some camping adventures! I can't wait!!!

The Easter Bunny came for a visit.

Bella rode her bike with her BFF, Olivia

Oh yeah and.......We found out Bella is going to be a BIG SISTER!!!!!

Yep....I'm 6 weeks Preggers!!!!

I'm so excited and maybe even more scared than the first time because now I know what to expect. LOL but excited more than anything.
