Our Chocolate Eyed Baby

Is all grown up!

Landon had a BUSY last few months, and isn't he HANDSOME? I can really see a shining countenance about him.  He received his mission call to Houston Texas in April. He graduated from High School the end of May and was in the MTC by June 5th. We are so proud of him and are missing him a lot. After we dropped Landon off at the MTC and we were home I asked Lucee "where did Landon go" she said "Meesion" It was adorable and we ask her the same question all the time just so we can hear her sweet voice say Mission. Landon is doing great, and says his Spanish is coming right along. We look forward to his emails every week. We can already feel the blessings from his choice to serve the Lord. 

Love him to pieces and I really can't believe how fast the time has gone. I swear it was yesterday I was hiding a baby Landon and a Toddler Alex in a nest in my bed from their older brothers.

    

Miss you baby brother! I am grateful for all the good you are doing! Your family is being blessed by your good works.

6/6/13

Almost ready for baby girl. I am 2.5 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced. the Dr. Stripped my membranes. So we are hoping she will come sooner than later.

I know I say this every time but I LOVE those cheeks. I Can't wait to kiss them. Lucee is starting to get pretty cute about babies. She will rock her dollies and put them in the baby's cradle. She will get the I pad and turn on the "chewch music" the Childrens primary music app. and rock her baby and say "shh shh shh"

36 Weeks

Only 4 weeks left till due date.

We LOVE these chubby cheeks. David said "we will have to warn her about uncle Jaron"  (hehe) Jaron LOVES to pinch cheeks, only cute and chubby ones though. When we were little Caleb's face was always raw because Jaron couldn't stop pinching his adorable cheeks. Now he does it to his soon to be daughter Raelee. Watch out baby girl number two. ;)

I suddenly got really huge. I have felt huge for a long time because of all the pain, but I can tell by my pictures that WOW in like two weeks I had changed a lot. I have also suddenly been sleeping well and not having as much back pain. I feel like it's the calm before the storm. LOL getting excited and nervous. Still not 100% sure about her name. It's almost time to meet baby girl.

35 Weeks

Only five more to go!

I am starting to get pretty uncomfortable and feel huge. I get frustrated because I can't do all the things I want to do because I have to take a rest. We are getting excited to meet baby girl, the time has gone quickly and She will be here before I know it.

Lucee Is Two And A Half

This little Goose is so full of life and personality. We just adore her. She is talking up a storm and makes us laugh daily with the words she says. She is even starting to put sentences together. She is almost potty trained, she still wears a diaper for naps and bed time. She is a binkie free girl. She is really tall and wears 3T clothing. She is a girly girl she loves My Little Pony and almost has the whole collection. She loves Minnie Mouse, jewelry, dresses and shoes. Her favorite right now are her purpoo rain boots. She also loves to play baseball with her strawberry shortcake bat and ball and loves to kick ball with Dad. She also loves to collect rocks. She loves to be outside. She loves people and always wants to play with friends. We love our little Lucee and can't imagine life without her.

Zoo Day

Last Saturday we went to Hogle Zoo. It was really fun for Lucee and I go get out of the house. There was some kind of allergen in bloom and poor Lucee just got hit with allergies. Her poor eyes and nose were just running. Luckily the gift shop had some Claritin we called Dr. Papa and he said she could have half of one. She started clearing up within fifteen minutes and was able to enjoy the rest of the Zoo.

Here is Lucee and Dad checking out the elephants.

Mom in a nest with her babies.

Lucee lately is OBSESSED with tunnels she calls them "tunnew" There was this log the kids could run through and Lucee kept screaming tunnew tunnew.

Lucee LOVED the otters. They were her favorite part.

Wow that is one long neck!!! Lucee calls them "giwaff"

We all shared a tigers blood icee! Yumm! Fun at the zoo!
