Catching up!!

Now that school is finished, I have time to catch up on things that I have been putting off, like my blog! So these will be short and sweet but at least an update on what has happened.

First---Even though this is way late to post, being that I'm now 32 weeks along. In the beginning of November we found out that I am pregnant again! So Kate will be 2 1/2 when the next little one comes. Yay!


Next......

• In November, my little brother Matt came home from his mission in Russia. I was so incredibly excited to see him and for him to meet Kate for the first time. I was about 26 weeks pregnant when he left so he'd only heard and seen pictures of Kate. He got in at 11:00 at night but I kept Kate up because I knew I wanted her too see him and she would be fine staying up one night. I've had 2 other brothers go on missions and I just love the part when you first get a glimpse of them when they come home, it's just so exciting! And what my family didn't know yet, is that I had just found out that I was pregnant with our 2nd baby when he came home, making me even more emotional (dang those hormones!).  

Oh yes, there's more......

• Christmas was great and busy! We split Christmas between Bobby's moms, dad's and grandparents and my family. So not a lot of time to relax. We relate very much to the movie "Four Christmases" with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn during this holiday season. If you haven't seen it, you should, it's a great movie! It was also nice because Matt and my mom came over to our house Christmas morning to watch Kate open presents.

And more.....

•  Kate's 2nd B-day came quick!! On her actual birthday January 17th, we didn't get to do much as I had to do my weekly conference call for my student teaching and Kate was sick so didn't feel up to it anyways. So really just had pizza and cake and ice cream at my mom's house. Which was still just as fun!  Then for her birthday party, we held the same kind of party as we did for her 1st birthday and had people come to our lounge at our complex that Saturday. It was great to see everyone and Kate had a blast playing with all of her cousins and opening her gifts and of course the cake! Ever since we got home from Disney World, Kate has just loved Mickey and Goofy so I found a Mickey cake for her that she loved. It was a great party and I love that we have such wonderful family and friends to share these moments with us!  Also, we got Kate a kitchen for her birthday this year, she absolutely loves it! I set it up in the living room and had her walk out in the morning to find it, it was so much fun watching her notice the kitchen then running to it with excitement screaming "kitchen kitchen!" Gotta love those moments.
