Blue balloons...

...decorated the house today they are only 4 months early :)

Christmas tree

We did this this morning with family in town and in Eire's words..." it's exploding!"   :)

Baby shower...

Here is the cake that I made for a friends baby shower. I just couldn't get the fondant to smooth out straight without it tearing so it was more of a fabric drape look....well its a learning process.

Just perfect...

This is how I was able to practice the organ yesterday. It was so nice.

Graditude.

I am so grateful for wonderful friends to take time to check up on me and hang out with me. Last night with a farewell to a friend. It's sad to see everyone going a different ways of we're all fishing at school. But it makes me so grateful for the time that we have had in the wonderful friendships built.

Kids Personalities

I found this picture today and got a kick out of it, even today they display the same personalities.
Oh, and my parents are coming tomorrow, we are SO EXCITED!!!

What a kind brother!!!

Ben daily will peel a banana and share it with Elise.....it's so cute!

Telly-tubby

I have 1 of my own.

VOLLEYBALL!!

My new favorite ornament!..... esp since today my surgeon gave me permission to resume ALL normal activities and sports...including serving at volleyball! I think I will go play on Friday for an hour or two its been 8 months since I tore my shoulder and served last!

You know you are pregnant....

....when it seems like your brain just won't work anymore....for example.

I was getting ready this morning, still hadn't gotten to laundry so found a pair of pregnancy slacks and a shirt to go with. I then realized we quickly needed to get Ben to school. So I grabbed a pair of slip on shoes and headed out. When I got back I slipped of the shoes next to my purse and then did some sewing with a friend. Time to go and pick Ben up again and then run some errands...it wasn't till I was getting everyone back in the car that I looked down and realized that I was wearing a L and R shoe, but the didn't match.  ..... did anyone else notice?

Last Thursday I had an event at my house with 18+ girlfriends...only at the end did I realize the white shirt that I had layered under my black short sleeve was inside out.

...seriously this better only be pregnancy related :)

Tornado Watch

...crazy weather

The hail is huge!!!

Hail on the ground....lots.

Tornado watch and warning...

This storm was amazing and the latest in the season. We had quarter size hail....crazy wind and rain...plus of course sirens....all of which really frightened Elise. Atleast this yeas Ben thinks its cool. Ehre is 40 min late from arriving home I am grateful that the school takes extra good care of them on days like today.

Ehre and Elise coloring together...so cute!

Long day trip to the temple...

We left at 6:30 and just pulled in at 7:50. The kids were amazing.....but it was nice when they all fell asleep on the ride home. A food friend Dawn came with us, I really enjoyed sitting in the temple with her answering questions, her faith has strengthened my testimony. I wish we could attend the temple more often, hopefully when the Indy temple is done we can.

Ehre's turkey in disguise.....

We had so much fun doing this!

Awesome Pie Idea:

I am tempted to do this for  Thanksgiving....individual servings are so cute!
