Callie's 4th Birthday!

Callie turned 4 earlier this month and requested we go out to lunch for "noodles" and go on the carousel. She took two of her friends and we had a fun time together at the mall doing what she loves. She also requested it be a princess party- which is why she is dressed the way she is. And of course- she wanted her hair in braids for her birthday. That is her favorite way to wear it- and she looks pretty cute!


Callie and Birdie- BFFs!
Coloring at at lunch- what could be better!




At lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe. . .where her buttered noodles are. . .she loves them!





Family Birthday Party with a Giselle cake.



She's mastered that head tilt for pictures as you can see. . . I don't know where she learned that!



Family Pictures with Barrus'- December 2010

We took these pictures this last Christmas. I look at these and get nauseous because I was 3 months pregnant and SOOOO sick. But with only a month to go until this baby girl comes- I see a light and end of the tunnel!!!

IT'S A GIRL!

I'm still a little shocked. I was convinced it was a boy! We went yesterday to the ultrasound and found out baby number 3 is a girl. Before we got there Chase had informed me that he had prayed 3 times that morning that it would be a boy. He did an instant sad face when we found out- he was bummed. But seems to be coping okay. He still has moments- he said to me later that afternoon- "I guess when you pray for a boy, you get girls." So we had a little talk about how sometimes what we want isn't what we need- probably a little deep for a 5 year old. He is convinced we should name her Ruby (as in Max and Ruby). Anyway, we are excited. The best part of the experience was when we saw her sucking her thumb. We could see her tongue moving and her little thumb in her mouth. It was amazing! We are blessed!

Feeling the dance moves. . .

2010-NOW

So, I dont' know if I am officially blogging again. But I have gotten serious grief from friends and family about basically dissappearing since we moved. So here are some highlights from the year. The kids are getting big and are so much fun- with serious personality!
I am currently the YW President in our ward- I LOVE IT!
Mason is serving as a Stake Exective Secretary.
Chase loves swimming and is a very good writer and reader at school.
Callie loves swimming, loves to play the piano and can whip out twinkle twinkle in about 5 seconds.
Oh. . .and after a little fertility help last year we are FINALLY expecting baby #3 on July 4th!
We find out next week if it's a boy or a girl. . .I'm betting boy!
Pictures go from most current to beginning of 2010.

He's lost his teeth!

Chase loved skiing, despite the whiteout conditions. And Chris and Tiffany were nice enough to take him on his first big run.



Callie attempted to ski- but the weather was awful- so she came in and did something she loves- she ate a donut.




Chase and Callie went skating in Sunriver for the first time- Chase was doing great by the end of the night. Only needed to hold on with one hand.


Only picture of Christmas- seriously! I am struggling!


Halloween night!




Chase played soccer- and even scored a goal the very last game! He had a fun team and a great coach!




Carving pumpkins.
