Pink Pink Pink

Yep!! She's a girl!

We are sooooo sooo excited! And can't wait to meet our 2nd little princess :)

Thankful!

Our poor girl!!

Cate was admitted to the hospital after a week of having a nasty version of the flu and getting super dehydrated. Last Friday she acted funny and super tired ALL day. She's a crazy, hyper all over the place kinda girl but not that day! If she wasn't snuggled up in my arms she was lying on the floor. We went to the store and while she normallly pushes the cart with me, she laid in it! I knew she was very sick but I thought it was just from not eating and lack of energy from no food or sugar. I'm soooooo sooo grateful that my mom knew better and talked me into going to the ER. I'm so thankful for inspiration and the way things worked out so perfectly to get us there! Who knows what could have happened!!

Look how sad she she looks!! Even though it was scary and she was sick and in pain she was such a good girl!

Her little "cage"

They filled her up with lots of these bags through IV

And really quickly she was back to her normal self!!

After a few minutes of fluids going in to her body she changed! And the next afternoon was all better and ready to get up and play!

They gave her some "yummy" hospital food. She hadn't really kept anything down the whole week and she didn't even have the desire to eat but that day she did we were sooo happy about that (especially cause she kept it down and we could go home, we probably only slept a total of 2 hours that whole night!!)

Yay!!! We get to go home!

Pumpkin Time!

Ohhh I love this time of year!!

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!!

Growing up!

Cate is SOOOOO much fun! We are loving her to death at this stage!! Here are a few pics of her these days :)

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!!
