Snow Day

Friday we woke up to about 14 inches of snow on the ground. Unfortunately, we had my first Dr. Appt to go to so we bundled up the kids and dropped them off at Jen's house. It was blizzard conditions and only the Dr's and receptionists were at the office!

When we walked out of the house to get the kids in the car Preston fell into a snow drift that was about as tall as him, he was not happy!

On Saturday, it cleared up enough and was actually nice enough outside to play. Here are some pics. We took some videos also but photobucket is having a hard time uploading them!



I did not think Gracie would really play in the snow and it was nice enough that we didn't bundle her up.

Growing up and other things

Recently, Alan and I have been talking about putting Gracie in a toddler bed. She likes to climb into Preston's bed and lay down. Yesterday we also caught her trying to climb out of her crib. So last night we decided to bite the bullet and realize our baby is growing up.









Overall, she did really well. When we left the room she did get out and cry for a few seconds, but when I went in to check on her she had gotten back in bed. When we checked on her before we went to bed she was sleeping at the end where the rails aren't so we moved her up. That is how she woke up this morning. We will see how naps go today!

We also took the kids to the zoo this past Saturday. It was really nice out and Preston enjoyed running around. It must be something with Alan and I but every time we go to the zoo we see some type of animal trying to procreate!

Bowling

We went on a family date night Friday. We took the kids bowling. Gracie was a little to small so she spent most of the night in the stroller. Preston was just big enough, they even had bowling shoes in his size. He had tons of fun. He always wanted it to be his turn. He got his fingers smashed in the ball return waiting for his ball to come back. He also managed to throw the ball down the gutter even though we had bumpers up and also almost threw his ball down someone else's lane!

Here are some pictures, they are a little out of order. Preston beat me in the first game and then I beat everyone the second game.

The other pictures are from the other day when I found Preston in Gracie's room after he woke her up, he dumped butt powder all over her dresser and his hair!

Update!

Well since we found out we are expecting number 3 things have been nuts. The next day the kids and I left for a week in FL. We had a great time with my family, my mom and I go to the Florida State Fair every year, so even though I am in KS now, the tradition remained.




















One if the things I discovered was Gracie's hair has gotten long enough for tons of fun styles, she had a new one each day in FL.

When we got home, life just got in the way! I am taking classes again this semester and had midterms and a ton of homework.

Plus, with this preganncy I am MUCH sicker than the other two, to the point of not being able to function some days. It has not been fun!

I am feeling better now that my Dr. has perscribed some anti-nausea pills.

We also made the plunge the other day and bought a van, our Ion will not hold three kids and we have had only one car for a year, so we decised to take the plunge. We got the car we (well really I) wanted. It is nice not having to take Alan to work!

So that is what is going on with us.
