For all those wondering, this baby is due August 25. I am 14 weeks pregnant. I'm not sure how accurate this is since it was such a crazy surprise. I realize that this does ruin a bunch of summer plans. We are thinking of now going to Idaho in June, but we don't know Todd's summer school schedule so we can't make any concrete plans till we get it (sorry Talya!) I love being pregnant with older kids. Sadie has informed me that the baby is making tummy big, which is slightly frustrating since I am only 14 weeks and never showed before 20 weeks with either of the two previous.
So Sadie's birthday party marked the first party I have ever thrown for my kids. I stressed over this party for weeks. I'm not sure what I was worried about. It's not that hard to impress a bunch of 4 year olds! Sadie has a Little Mermaid theme party. We played "pin the flower in Ariels hair", Toss the money bags (bean bags) into the treasure chest, Sebastian crab races, and decorated prince/princess crowns. Then they all went on a treasure hunt to find the treasure chest that held their goody bags. Here are the few pictures we got:
Sadie turned 4 on Sunday, but she is having a birthday party this Saturday. So Sunday we let her open up her presents from Grandma Matheson.
Since we earned a free turkey for Thanksgiving from our grocery store we decided to deep fry our turkey with some friends.
Todd and Dave getting the oil ready. I figured I could use this opportunity to advertise my services. If anyone wants to buy a house my info is on the sign.
The faithful watchdog. Now I realize that we were frying it in the garage, but don't distress because our next door neighbor is a fireman. It's all good!
Now I forgot to take pictures of the final product, but we complimented our turkey with cranberry jello, gouda potatoes (thanks Lauren), Cornbread Stuffing (that tasted pretty dang close to Christine's version) and lots more yummy food!
I realize that is has been a month since my last post. It has been so crazy since we got back from Christmas! So here are some pictures from the last few weeks.
This was the cutest little set of tupperware cups with a mini water pitcher. They love them!
Thanks to Aunt Sarah for the cute aprons! (Sarah did you notice their slippers)
Cute dresses from Grandma Matheson
Allie going through her stocking.
Sadie on her brand new princess bike from Santa Clause who not only delivered it to Dallas, but then came back and picked it up and delivered it to our house before we got back! Now that is service!
