38 weeks pregnant and low baby

Don't know why the look on the my face is so weird but Brian only takes 1 photo so you take what you can get.

I know I am huge and she is very low. When I am out people keep saying you must be do any day, and you must have dropped. So why is she not coming? I have no idea. But I am feeling good and I know it won't be too long till we get to meet our new little girl!

Quick Recap

Roller Skating Party
This was Aly's first time on Roller skates and she did great. It looked like she had a great time with her friends.
We went to visit my cousin Mindy. She is a couple months behind me in her pregnancy! We are so excited for her, this is her first baby girl!
The kids got a trampoline for Christmas and they love it. The only problem is we live in Washington. It has rained almost every day since Christmas. Once Leah is out I am sure I will begged to jump with them! Hopefully the rain holds out for a few days so they can jump.

Pumkins 2011

We took the kids to the same pumpkin patch we had gone to for Blake's field trip. Schilter's Farm it was a fun place to go.
Getting our pumpkins was a lot harder this year. Aly really wanted the perfect pumpkin.
She sure is getting big!
Brian being a good dad and pushing them both in the wheelbarrow. This was yet another day of gloomy Washington weather, it was freezing this day as well. But at least this year Blake didn't leave his coat at home. Last year that is what happened so we improvised and found some extra clothing of Brian and I. There were many fun things to do at Schilter's but they all cost $. The year before there were many more things you could do that were free.

The Pre-K Pumpkin Patch

Wow, I am really behind on blogging. It is almost Christmas and I am now putting up the Pumpkin patch pictures. It was a typical Washington rainy pumpkin patch day. But it was well worth it.
Riding the hay ride!
Blake and his friend Davyn.

The whole family, minus Aly she had to go to school. Don't worry we all went to the pumpkin patch later as the whole family.

First Day of School 2nd Grade and Pre-K

Brother and Sister

School Year 2011-2012
We found out not even a week before school started that Aly would be at her same school East Oly. What a relief. I knew God had a plan but it wasn't on my timing. Aly was a trooper and I knew she wanted to know more than us what school she was going to. But the school said we might not know till the first day of school so we were excited to know before the first day. We have done a boundary exception and this year 2nd grade was full and so they didn't know if they would take any out of district transfers. She has been at this same school since kindergarten. YA for East Olympia!
First day of 2nd Grade

First day of Pre-K. Blake is at Cornerstone Christian, M, W and F. He absolutely loves it all. This was a great decision to put him here and wait on kindergarten till next year. He has 3 teachers and they are all so very sweet and love God. It is just an amazing environment for Blake to be in. Brian and I went to the pumpkin patch with his class and had such a great time. Pictures to come eventually.

Blake's 5th Birthday

I am not sure where the past 5 years have gone. I can't believe that our little man is now 5. The things he loves: singing, Star Wars, jumping, and colored hair. I am sure he has many other interests but those are the few that come to mind. He is just a sweet boy. He is so excited to be a big brother. He touches my tummy regularly and talks to his sister. I know he will be a great big brother.
He wanted a party at chuck e cheese and it was great!
Blake opening presents with his friends.
These are the kids daycare friends and boy do they love them!
His mohawk for his special day.
This is an awesome cape he got for his birthday, made by Judy Johnson. Quite amazing. Not sure how people are so talented but she is!

Camping #2 and Brian's big fish

Here is Brian's big catch of the summer. He has been enjoying lots of fishing this summer.
Aly's big catch, while camping.
All of the kids. I think they spent half of their time camping in the hammock and the other half riding their bikes.

Riding bikes
We had such a great time camping with friends. The kids have so much fun together and the adults got to relax, or go fishing, or hit all the local garage sales. We had a wonderful time hopefully we can do it again next year.
