Aquarium

Aquarium Day! We went just earlier this week with Addison, Laura, Hillary and Nora. 

Here are some of the pictures - and a few of Aimee making some random faces! She looks SO old to me!! 

All these girls are within two months of each other and the next batch of siblings will be about the same! (And no - we didn't have a pregnancy pact)

Friday is our favorite day...

And this is why:

Every Friday Aimee and I try to make it to the library for Mother Goose Story Time. It's one of the free programs put on by the library during the week. The kids (and parents) LOVE it! They do such an amazing job! A typical day includes: songs, a story, a puppet show, more songs, and a coloring sheet at the end. It is super packed every week, we try to get there early to get a good seat by the floor.  

Yesterday we got there early enough to get such a seat and I happened to have my camera with me. This song is called "Shake Your Sillies Out" and is an instant hit with any baby or toddler. You can see our friend Nora in the video too! It's more fun when we can go with friends - so if you're available on Fridays from 11:00-11:30, come join us! 

I miss my little baby...

Quick post: 

I was looking back through some old posts, looking for one where I took Aimee to parent/tot swim lessons last year (because we're doing it again this year). I totally thought I posted a picture of that - but can't find it anywhere. However, I did go through a bunch of pictures/videos of Aimee when she was little and got all heart sick. She was so different then, like another person... maybe you other moms out there will relate. Anyway, it made me sad. But don't get me wrong, Aimee as a toddler is super fun! I just miss having a little baby around. Good thing we're due to have another one August 17th :)

Christmas Recap

Yes, I did upload the video of Aimee freaking out, but totally forgot to upload the zillion pictures I have from Christmas-time. Because there are so many, I used a photobucket slideshow. It's lengthy, and there are pictures from both sides of the family mixed in, but my goal was to hurry it up, not to organize it. So in this slideshow, there are pictures of the following:

-Ward Christmas Party (Aimee did NOT like this Santa)

-Mall Santa (Aimee liked this one)

-Presents in Utah with my siblings

-Aimee and California cousins (with Greg's side)

-Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor (in Cali)

-Christmas Eve Extravaganza (these are the pictures of us in our pj's, with lots of freaky mannequins... you'll see)

I think that's the gist of it.

One Month Later...

Sorry to anyone who may actually like to see updates on my blog. (I know there are soooo many of you...) I have lots of videos and pictures to upload. TONS. I will try to pace myself, instead of uploading them all at once. I took this picture this morning. We have our first real snow! Just a few inches, but it's still coming down and forecasted to continue for a few days. Aimee liked it, until she tripped and fell in it. Those gloves are not snow-proof! She kept saying, "Cole! Cole!" We lasted about 10 minutes. (I was trying to get the driveway shoveled) 

So we've been really busy the last few weeks. All of Greg's siblings and their families, and his parents came for Thanksgiving. It was a FULL house! Fun too - don't get me wrong. It's nice having other kids around for Aimee to beat up on, I mean play with. Actually, she was kind of a total crab while everyone was here. Overstimulated? Over tired for sure! She's been staying up SO late and still getting up at her normal time. I'm still trying to fix that! 

My brother and sister and bro-in-law also came down. Drew was kind of in and out visiting throughout the week. Steph and Chris came down Wednesday evening and left late Thursday night. Their coming was a last-minute awesome surprise. Greg used some of his Marriott rewards points from his traveling days to get them a hotel to stay in. Yey!!! Except that I am RETARDED and did not take a picture of all us siblings together while they were here! I am still kicking myself in the pants for that! 

Um... what else? Greg is getting is law school applications in! It's really exciting to think about where we might end up. The list grows ever longer too, with new schools waiving their application fees. Pennsylvania? Michigan? Vermont? Texas? California? Florida? New York? Who knows!!! 

Well, that is about it for the day. Make sure to check back for videos and pictures!
