Our baby has a head!

I got to see our baby on sonogram today! It's just so reassuring when you actually see that little baby in there sqirmin' around. Everything looks perfect and baby is measuring right where it's supposed to be. :)
For those of you who need sonogram assistance, the top photo is a straight forward shot of baby's face and belly, the second is the top view of the head where the doctor measured it.

Attack of the giant stockings!!!

Since last year Nate used the stocking we use to use for our cat and we knew there would be a need for a 4th stocking, I was determined to get new stockings this year.
But have you seen the ones in the store? They are tiny - like 5 inches wide! I needed more room than that, espcially since me and Ryan usually just fill each others stockings instead of a big gift. So I thought I'd make my own stockings - I did it before, I'll just make them bigger... well I couldn't find any fabric I liked (let alone time to make em.) Then my mom called from Big Lots - 'they have big stockings' she said, 'get em' I said. So here they are:
I know they're HUGE! I'm thinking I'll probably cut a foot off the top of each of them and add a matching foldover with each of our names (next year when I know what the 4th name is.)

Being thankful

Thanksgiving this year was very packed as usual but very nice. After Ryan got bruised up a bit at the Turkey Bowl, we headed over to my Auntie Lydia's house for some yummy traditional Thanksgiving feast.



All the kids were dressed special including Nate and Seth who had matching sweaters. (I'll add a photo of the whole extended family when I get it from my mom)
We then went over to Ryan's mom's house to spend time with his extended family including Uncle Larry, Aunt Terry and Trevor (Ryan's cousin Jodi's son) It was such a nice time to spend with our families that we are so thankful for.

Chugga chugga woo woo

This Thursday Nate and I went to the La Habra Children's Museum in the old train depot with Nana, Auntie Jen, Seth and Chase.
They had cute little exhibits there like a kaleidoscope, shadow wall, carousel, half a bus, dinosaurs, dead things and lots of trains. Nate really liked looking at and petting the dead animals. We had a lot of fun!

Park Day

With everyone having Friday off we met up with Ryan's folks and Nate's cousins for breakfast and hung out at Red Hill Park. We brought Fruit Loops and Cheereros to feed the ducks and there were a ton of ducks there. They all acted like they were starving but tons of people kept showing up with food for them.

With the giant population of turtles at the lake, Blake was determined to catch one and eventually caught two!
