Stella Update

She is officially on her way..... who knows how long but we are in transition.  I had my 37 week checkup today and I am dilated to a 3 and 75%-80% effaced!  I am so excited and ready to meet this little one!  I hope the next post everyone sees is of her little face!!!

Snow, Snow, and More Snow

 We got lots of snow this week and Conner was so excited.  On Tuesday morning he came out of his room, looked out the sliding glass door and yelled,"Look Jack its Christmas!!!"  Some how he got the association that snow means it is Christmas. 

 Jay worked a half day on Friday so he brought home and intertube to take Conner sledding.  They went out on the four-wheeler and had a blast.  The above picture is of Conner trying to make a snow angel on the icy snow.  It didn't work so good.

This picture is the first day it snowed, Jack lasted about 5 minutes.  Conner was very mad that he didn't want to play in it!

Mac & Otto

 Mr. Mac giving me his little grin!

Otto trying to decide if its worth it to open his eyes for me. 

The boys came over for a small visit while E ran some errands a couple weeks back.  I am very lucky to have such cute little nephews!! Mac is hilarious and very active, you have to watch him like a hawk... he is fast!  And Otto is just precious at this stage, he is a great baby!!

4th Anniversary

Jay and I celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on December 28th.  This year we were able to go out to dinner on the night of our anniversary.  I got spoiled with these gorgeous flowers and a gift card to Starbucks.  I am very lucky to have a husband that is so hardworking and dedicated to his family. 

Jay and I laughed over dinner about what all we have crammed into four years.  Here are just a few...

3 kids in just over 4 years
4 moves in 4 years
Building a new facility for CRF
2 Trips to Hawaii
The crazy continued growth of Jay's business
Me in and out of the office... (I quite counting how many times)

Its all been a whirlwind but a heck of a story for those who know us well.  It doesn't look like we will be slowing down anytime soon!  Although, Stella will more than likely be the last addition to our family!!!

Christmas Day

 Christmas day we spent at my sisters house!  Erin had just given birth to Otto on the 7th so it was easiest to go to their home.  He is quite the little cutie!

 Mac was totally into unwrapping gifts, now if he could only convince his cousin Jack to get into it.

 And Conner of course, didn't want the gifts to stop coming!

 When everyone finished unwrapping Jack's present for him, he was totally into it.  This is the "hot" item in our house right now.  (As I type, its hiding in a closet - I can only handle so much of it each day)

 Mac and Jack are quite the pair!  We have to watch the two of them closely!

 Cal made an amazing prime rib!!! It was a delicious dinner. 

 This pregnancy hasn't been the easiest for me so I got to chill and just hold Otto!  Jay and I's boys have come out around 8 lbs so to hold Otto, who was 6 lbs. is a very different feeling! We were laughing that he will probably be the same weight as Stella when she is born!

 Uncle Brock is always good about helping the boys with their toys!

 My dad's two brothers came for Christmas as well.  And "Uncle Jane" as Conner calls her!

 The meal was excellent and we all had a great Christmas at the Tebay's!

 Everyone opening the last of the presents!

We had a very wonderful Christmas this year.  The boys and I were very blessed to have Jay with us for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year.  We were also very blessed to spend Christmas eve with Jay's Sister and her family along with Grandma and Grandpa.  Thank you to E and Cal for hosting Christmas! We love you all!!!

Christmas Morning

 I am a little behind on my blogging so here goes a little marathon!   This would  be Christmas morning at our house.  I didn't sleep well so I was sitting in the recliner in the living room when the boys came out.  They didn't see me and it was priceless to see the looks on their faces.  Conner says to Jack, "Look Jack! I got off the naughty list!"  It was pretty cute.   Then he walked over to his crane and said, "Santa brought me just what I wanted!"

 Jack was a little overwhelmed with everything this holiday season.  He wasn't into unwrapping gifts at all.  He just wanted all the candy and treats that were around all day everyday!

 Conner was very into everything he got.  Even if it wasn't his he was excited!

 Jay and Conner got nerf guns from Santa, boy am I regretting that one!!!

We had a wonderful Christmas morning just the four of us!
