Work today

So today I worked at my scrapbook store for most of the day (which is something I haven't done for a VERY long time) and Sammy got to spend the day with Daddy. As soon as I got home, she was immediately by my side and wanting to do everything with me. So I opted to watch the Relief Society Broadcase live on the internet which was very cool and Sammy was actually watching some of it with me. While we were sitting there, Sammy said the cutest thing to me. And just a little side note, one of Sammy's little nicknames is "little bug" or "bugs". I don't really know why we call her that but we do. Anyhow, we were sitting there watching and she turned and said "I love you bugs!" with a big smile and then she gave me a kiss. It was so cute. That made my day and made me realize how much I love my little "bug."

8 weeks to go!

I just wanted to post that I now have 8 weeks left of being prego as my sister calls it! I am so excited because well it seems somewhat close. I am so ready to have this baby as she is constantly moving and kicking me in the ribs making it somewhat difficult to ever be comfortable! I still have a lot of things I am working on and am trying to get done but hopefully I will be ready when Maddie gets here!

New Purchase

So I forgot to blog on here that a few weeks ago we made a big purchase and we are now a 2 car family. It is so great! Jake's work is actually moving offices in a couple of weeks and so he wouldn't be able to ride his bike anymore. We had been saving to pay off our current car, a little Honda Civic, and finally we were able to and bought this!

We bought a 2008 Ford Escape and it is black just like this picture. Sammy loves going in "my new car" as she calls it because she can actually see out the window. For those of you who know our little Honda has been good, but is pretty much the lowest model Honda makes. As we were test driving the Escape, the salesman kept pointing out the moonroof or satellite radio, and Jake and I were just happily checking out and playing with the automatic windows and locks! So this is the new family car and I think it will be great for a family of soon to be 4. I also love how easy it is getting Sammy in and out of the car, not so hard on my back, which is great since another one is on the way!

A little bit of everything from the past few weeks

Like I promised, some pics from Yellowstone which it seems everyone was there in the last month or so!

Sammy & her friend Aleia at the park. Don't they look like they could pass for sisters?

Lately she loves wearing sunglasses. One morning she refused to eat breakfast unless she was wearing them!

Here are a few pics from the Animal Farm at Thanksgiving point that Sammy just loves. She especially loves the horse ride and to me she looks so little sitting on a horse, or rather pony by herself but she loves it!



Also, during the trip to Yellowstone, Sam was obsessed with chasing chipmunks, squirrels and birds. Her famous line was "I scared em away" which she totally did. She also loved to run around everyone which was good since there was also so much driving involved. So here are some little videos of that!
