Daddy-Daughter "Gymaskits"

Tuesday was Parent Participation Day at Hailey's "gymaskits" (as she calls it.) I would have loved to have been able to participate but I'm kind of getting a belly (it's from the baby) and I had my wild little one-year-old in tow also. I really wish I would have had the video camera because Randy was actually the one to do the participating. And can I just say, for a twenty-six-year-old dude...he was pretty good. He did the trampoline and the uneven bars and did some flips on one of the other bars (not sure what it's called.) He swung from the rope swing into the foam block pit...which Hailey will not do. Oh, and he almost clobbered Hailey trying to bounce from one trampoline to the other...I didn't say he was perfect. Hailey had a blast having her daddy do "gymaskits" with her. 

I would have gotten some good pics of them doing stuff together but they won't let you use flash while they are doing their gymnastics so all the pictures I took were very blurry :(

Gingerbread House

Hailey has been begging us to do a gingerbread house so I picked one up at Aldi last week and we put it together Saturday night. Really all Caleb wanted to do the entire time was eat the candy...and I can't blame him. Hailey did a nice job decorating and my excellent icing-er (I just made that up) Randy assembled the masterpiece. The kids had a great time and I think Randy was pretty proud of his work :) oh, and I just take the pictures...and pacify the pleading little one with sugary goodness...

Please Mommy!

Seriously, how could you resist those big gorgeous bluish-green eyes!

The handy work

The goods...

Too Small For His Britches...

Fifteen Weeks

I'm fifteen weeks now. I'm past all of the sickness...at least I hope. I haven't felt bad for a couple of weeks. Actually I have felt really good. Aside from being a little more tired and my daily headache that sometimes I think could qualify as a migraine I've been feeling really good. I had an appointment today and everything checked out great. I still haven't gained any weight but I didn't with Caleb until like almost 20 weeks or so. They say to count it as a blessing. I guess I should. I don't know when I would find time to eat more anyway! I go January 4th to find out what we're having. Randy and I don't really care one way or another. I think he may slightly want a girl a little bit more but either way is great. Hailey, on the other hand, is positive it is a girl. So much so that she has been telling everyone that she has a baby sister in mommy's tummy. I know that in life she will face many disappointments, but I do kind of hope for her sake that it is a girl...because she really...really has her hopes up. But we'll see in January!

Day After Thanksgiving Decorating...

So these are a little late but at least they're on here!

I don't know if you've ever tried to decorate for Christmas with a three year old and a one year old but it is very... challenging... fun... but challenging... especially when you have a sneaky little one year old who is at expert level of seek and destroy...

We had one tired pup by the end of the day :)
