Wet Bangs

The other night we were discussing with Mikayla about following Jesus and the importance of baptism. We explained to her that when she gets a little bit older she will be able to be baptized too! We've talked about this before, especially since she has seen numerous cousins be baptized and has always been excited about it. Well, this time she looked very upset and informed us that she does NOT want to be baptized. We asked her why and she responded, "Because I'm scared. I don't want to get baptized." I asked her what she was scared of, thinking it had to do with being submerged under water and not breathing. I was not expecting this response...

"I'm scared my bangs will get wet!"

Yes, I have a very girly girl. And you know what...I LOVE IT!

Roommates

When we got back from our cruise, we decided to move Sophie in with Mikayla, because they had spent a week together in the same room on the boat and did great. It's been a week and the transition has been a dream. They don't talk to each other, they both sleep until 7:30 and Mikayla loves having Sophie in with her and told me on the second day, "Mommy? I like sleeping with Sophs." Those two are the best of friends, I love it.

It still kills me, though, to see a tiny little girl in a huge twin bed. Sophie could get lost in that bed, but she seems to like all the room. I'm loving it because now I can focus on the nursery and get it all ready for Kedzie! Less than 100 days! Crazy.

Island Get away

Our family has been greatly blessed over the past few months, and because of a tender mercy of the Lord, we were able to go on a 7 day Disney Cruise to the Caribbean last week. We left on the 29th of December (our 4 year Anniversary) and came back on January 6. We were able to go with all of Steve's family and we had so much fun. Nothing beats laying on a beach in the middle of January with 80 degree weather while everyone back home is freezing in 5 degree weather!
Here are some pics of our adventure:

December Fun

This month we have been kept busy doing various activities, so I thought I would post about some of them. We have gone to temple square to see the lights, sat on the third row for a Jazz game, made gingerbread bear cookies, played outside in the snow and just enjoyed being together. I love this time of year, and the time spent with family! Merry Christmas Everyone!!

XX

We just got back from the ultrasound and found out that baby #3 is a Girl! I am so excited, I love my two little girls. A third one added to the mix is going to make my head explode from all of the cuteness, but I think we'll be able to handle it. Well, Steve is going to have to get his shotguns ready. I don't think anyone will be nearly good enough for his girls.

Can I hear an Amen?

Every time we say prayers, little Sophie will fold her arms and when we finish, loudly say, "The End." Mikayla emphatically corrects her by saying, "Not The End, baby Sophs (or Ken if she is wearing the Barbie costume), say Amen! It's not a book!"

We have yet to hear an Amen...
