Big News!

Baby #3 is well on their way!!! I'm due on August 3rd (in the dead heat of the summer - thank goodness for swimming pools!) which makes me 15 week today. We are THRILLED to say the least! The kids are excited too.. although Dallin is much more anxious than Elise. We get to find out the gender next month... I feel so blessed that this pregnancy has been fairly uneventful so far and I have felt great. (This ultrasound is from my 10 week appt)

Happy Birthday Elise!!!

Can my baby really be 3?! It is true, Elise is 3 today!!
Elise talks pretty well (not as clear as Dallin did at this age). She does have to be translated on a few things like:
winkles = fingers
twos = shoes
Det-day = BirthdayElise LOVES milk, ice cream, yogurt, her hair bows, movies, soda, coloring, playing with her babies, sleep, and her brother. She can be the sweetest thing in one moment and the sassiest girl in the next. Sometime I feel like I have a teenager in a 3 year old body. She likes to sleep and if you disturb her sleep, she will get mad at you. Our time out spot has an impression of her bum from all the time she has spent there. She loves when Dallin goes to school and she gets to be the only child for 3 hours. She loves to help me do chores and cook but she mostly wants to do it herself. She is very independent. I just love this girl to pieces. She loves to cuddle with me and she always tells me that she loves me. It doesn't get sweeter than that!

For her birthday we had a very low key party with pizza, soda, and pink cupcakes with pink frosting (of course). She got rooms for her new doll house, a rose cottage house, and a new scooter. She was a very happy girl!

Christmas in DC

This year for Christmas we decided to go to Virginia/ DC for Christmas. It was actually a multi-purpose trip because we go to the temple with Jon's sister Katie for the first time too! That was really amazing to be there with so much of the Seeley family. We had such a great time sight seeing and staying up late with family. It was quite the drive though! 20 hours each way and because we are crazy parents we drove straight through! Our kids did AMAZING!!!

We went to the Museum of Natural History (the one from Night at the Museum) and saw dinosaurs, gems and the Hope diamond, bugs, and all sorts of animals. Then we took a 2 minute drive and went to the Air and Space museum. There wasn't as much for the kids but they still really enjoyed it.We stayed up late, shopped like crazy, and had a wonderful Christmas.Elise's new mommy made bows
And Dallin's Mommy made cape
I wish it could have lasted longer.

Christmas Time

The Christmas season is upon us! I have done my Black Friday crazy stay up all night shopping, we have decorated the house, I have started wrapping gifts, I'm about to start baking... but it can't go without notice that we are one person short this season. It is hard to enjoy the holidays when you are missing a huge someone like your dad. We put our tree up and then we realized that David needed a tree too, so we took this cute little tree I had and glued some decorations on it and took it up to him. I'm so glad that even though he can't be here, we still get to share the holidays with him.

Random

These are completely random but cute nonetheless....

I love this picture. Elise is just getting too big!!! She looks so grown up!

Elise was so tired but insisted on swinging (in the baby swing) and she rocked herself to sleep.
This is Dallin dressed up like Shaun the sheep in "Take Away". (If you haven't seen Shaun the Sheep I highly recommend it. It's a very age appropriate clay-mation cartoon for kids. They have a bunch of it on Netflix.)

Field Trip

Dallin has his first field trip for Preschool to a children's museum and he was loving every minute of it. He loved the bus ride, he loved all the hands on stuff, he loved eating lunch there.. They had so many different rooms we didn't make it to all of them, but we did a lot in 3 hours! I am so glad that I got to go with him!
