Baby #4 is on the way !

And I feel GROSS!

Why oh why does this have to be so hard? The kids are excited I'm not sure if they are more excited for the new baby, or for mom to stop saying 'no because I feel sick'. But I'm at 12 weeks now so the end is in sight. Pray we will make it at least another month!

Austrailian Visit

Dave's brother Jason and his wife and thier youngest son, James, and Dave's mom and Dad came to visit. Jason and his crew live in Austrailia. So it was my first time meeting them and Dave's first time seeing his bro in 7 years. It was a lot of fun to meet them and hang out with them.

They really don't have Halloween in Austrailia but because Sarah is awesome and she has adopted a lot of American holidays for Jason. They celebrate Thanksgiving and Independance day and Halloween. Everytime we went into a store that had any Halloween stuff Sarah went googly eyed.

So we carved pumkins

Wrestling with Uncle Jason

Building with Grandpa

We went into Downtown Denver and Dave joined us for lunch.

At church- Porbably shouldn't have taken this picture but couldn't resist when Lily and grandpa are taking a nap together.

Sarah had never seen snow! Colorado was nice enough to give her a flurry.

Little James and Charley have birthdays only days apart. So we did a little early celebration with icecream cakes for the adults and cupcakes for the kids. We had a lot of fun listing to Sarah say Carmel Turtle in an American accent me and trying to say it in an Aussie accent.

Ear piercing and Exchange students

Lily worked really hard for two weeks to earn getting her ears pierced. I was pretty amazed by how determined she was. Every time she found a toy at a store she wanted me to buy for her I would remind her what she was saving for. And she would be very quick to put the toy back. Even when the girl at Claire's that went right before her was crying and in pain she still stuck to her guns. She didn't cry at all.

Right before showing the lady how she was going to hold her breath and be brave. She did so good. And is SO excited to show off her sparkle ears.

We got 2 Chinese exchange students for the year. It is boys this year and we are pretty excited. Dave introduced them to his mini games REALLY fast.

They are from the same city and are friends already and have been roommates before too. They built their own robot that they have competed in international competitions. They brought it with them. Jensen is always asking if he can go down to their room and play with the robot.

And I couldn't resist posting pictures of Lily taking this onesie putting her legs in the sleeves and wrapping the bottom around a basket.

We went to the nicle arcade. The kids loved it.

Prizes!JJ messin around with the hose

Charley got stuck in the couch cover

Lily dressing up her puppy "Lily"

Austin graduated boot camp! I'm supper excited for him.

Jensen had his first day of school. He is having a tough time transitioning from summer fun mode to pay attention mode. But I think he will catch on quick.

My awesome friend Sarah came to visit from Florida. I can't believe it had been three years since I had hung out with her. I miss her and selfishly want her to move out west. Lily and her were like best buds.

The girls playing with their babies

Lily has me sing her a song and tickle her face before she falls asleep every night. So she is tickling her baby's face.
