Pine Valley

We had a nice, relaxing weekend in Pine Valley a few weekends ago with our friends Danny and Ashlee! It was lots of fun. Pine Valley is gorgeous and I'm so thankful Matts grandparents let us use their cabin!! Thanks!!

Weirdo!

So..a few weeks ago anything I gave cate (celery, string cheese, pretzel, etc) she put in her mouth and sucked on! She sucked on the celery for about 4 hours!! Next thing I knew she had found a passie and was sucking on that! The next day she found her thumb! She sucks on it all the time!! My social girl is no longer social...she's too busy sucking that dang thumb (and holding her ear at the same time)!! I don't get it! She has never sucked her thumb and only used a passie for about the first 2 months of her life! All I can think is...weird! Hopefully she grows out of this stage quickly :)

Halfway

In a few days I'll be at the halfway point of this pregnancy..Yay!!

Our "sweet" friends!

We have some awesome friends that had us over for dinner a couple of weeks ago. We had lots of fun! The kids (especially Cate) loved loved loved the yummy ice cream shake bar!

This is Big boy Nathan

and little Dallin..he's SO dang cute!

Look at them chowin down!!

Finally!!

Some peace and safety!!

We've only had an old screen door as our door and NOW we have a beautiful french door! With Matt gone all week and when he is home working graves I feel much safer with "real" doors.

Billy with a little help from Matt installed the doors for us!

Thank you guys!!

Dentist!

Cate had her first dentist appt a few days ago. Her Doc reccomended going when she had 6 teeth and she has 6 teeth so in to the Dentist we went! She was soo brave and actually had lots of fun playing with their cool toys! Hopefully if I consistantly take her to the dentist every 6 months she'll get used to it and it wont be so hard when she starts needing work done!! Hahaha we'll see about that!

15 Months :)

Our smart, little, tall girl!

Cate is learning so many new things these days!

~She says around 30 words on a regular basis. She can say way more than that but only repeating words after we say them.

~Her favorite song is itsy bitsy spier, she LOVES doing the actions to them.

~She is trying to learn how to jump.

~ She walks, runs and walks backwards.

~She says "Thank you" after getting something she wants (some of the time :))

~I find her a couple times a day in her room with her books dumped out of a basket that I have the books in with her sitting in the basket while "reading" books to her self.

~She folds her arms for prayer and says amen at the end (or when she wants it to be the end!!)

~She says "all done" when she is bored with something.

~She loves copying her cousing Liby

~She brushes her 6 teeth (it is still VERY difficult for me to brush them first, but I try really hard!!)

Hmmm I know there are lots more, I just can seem to think of them right now!!

Oh yeah....

I forgot to mention that I'm pregnant!! I'm due March 1st. I'm 11 weeks 4 days to be exact!

Everything is great! This pregnancy is totally differant than with Cate. The only symptoms I experience are being super tired and major heart burn BUT I can kinda control both of them! (I'm also a little extra emotional but I think that just has to do with Matt starting the Police Academy and being gone up north ALL week! We only get him on the weekends :( and I HATE it!BUT I'm so glad Matt is doing this for our family! He's such a great guy.) I had an ultrasound at 8 weeks and this little thing is perfect!

We are super excited, scared and grateful for this baby!
