Griffin's 5th Birthday!

Griffin had an Angry Birds Space birthday party.  We had a lot of fun.  Half of me is excited for him to be five and to go to kindergarten.  The other half of me is in panic mode that I only have a few more months with him until I send him out into the world.  Either way, we sure love our boy and are glad to have him in our family!

It was a nice day so we even got to go to the park!

MIA

It's been a while since I have blogged, I've been MIA. That can only mean one thing right? That's right, I'm pregnant!

I'm 14 weeks along, I've been incredibly sick, we don't know if it is a boy or girl yet but we will find out, and baby is due mid August. So other than me laying on the couch wondering why I've done this to myself again, here is what we've been up to.

Christmas was great!

I took a total of 4 pictures on Christmas Day.  That's how awesome I felt.

The kids loved their presents and the vacation from school.

Mesha loves her new rainbow loom.

Griffin is into Star Wars, Angry Birds, Star Wars Angry Birds, and Angry Birds Space.  Just in case you wanted to keep up with all that!

The level of cleanliness got so bad at our house that Sterling decided it was high time Mesha learned how to vacuum.

My mini baby bump. It doesn't look so impressive in this picture but it really is starting to come along nicely.

Snow day!  We have had 5 days off from school from two different snow storms here in Charlotte.  Make up days are no fun but I like this kind of snow that only lasts a few days before it melts.  Oh yes and it gets warm in March here.  Yay for the south!

Happy Valentines Day!

Mesha had her first sleep over.  I may have cried a little bit when she left.  I blame pregnancy.  Good thing it was at her friends house one street over.  Baby steps.  She had blast!

I am beginning to feel better and hope to be back to "normal" in a few weeks.  I'm kind of excited to clean my dirty, dirty house.  I'm not so excited to cook again.  I have to give Sterling a huge shout out.  He has been working full time at home (which is hard enough as is) as well as making us lunch and dinner and doing all things kid related including bed time, baths, diapers, fights, etc.  He has been superman the last 10 weeks.  He deserves an award!  Thanks love!

Build A Bear

Mesha went to a Build A Bear birthday party the other day.  It was our first Build A Bear experience.  It was so cute!  Meet Mesha's new friend, snowflake!

Thanksgiving 2013

Happy Thanksgiving from Mesha!

 

We had a low key day.  A couple with a little girl Anya's age from our ward came over for a little bit so we weren't so lonely.  Sterling brined his turkey for a week and it turned out great.  I'm glad he is into that kind of thing because I don't want to do it...

 

The day after Thanksgiving Aunt Hilary and a couple of her friends from the DC area came to see us.  The kids had a blast jumping on them.  Sterling and I always like it when Hilary visits because it means we actually get to go out for a date night!  Thanks Hilary!

 

I am thankful for my family!

Just Because She is Cute

Mad Mesha

When Mesha gets angry she grabs a pencil to vent her feelings.  I found this the other day and it made me laugh.

It says "I don't love you any more so stop hugging me" with a variety of exclamation points.  I guess you have to laugh at this kind of stuff or else life is too sad.  The picture on the back is the best part.

Halloween 2013

We had a lot of fun this year for Halloween.  Griffin wore 3 different costumes at different events.  He was Batman, Darth Vader (I didn't get a picture of this one), and Spiderman.

 

Mesha was Ariel.  She loved the red hair spray we got.

 

Anya was a monkey and an alicorn.  What's an alicorn you ask?  A pony with both a unicorn's horn and a Pegasus's wings of course.  Can't believe you didn't know that...

 

This is Anya singing "Gone to Carolina in My Mind". 

 Happy Halloween!

 After we got home from trick-or-treating Mesha manned the door to hand out candy.
