Gardner Village

Last Wednesday Emma and I drove down and picked Quinn up from work and headed to Gardner Village for the evening. Our intent was to take pictures of Emma in her Halloween costume. Now Emma is not that fond of wearing her costume, especially the hat part. She also will not sit still for anything and look at the camera. So we knew that this would be a struggle but after may tries we finally got one picture of her looking and smiling for the camera. Here are a few of my favorites.

Cute, but not quite.

There's no crying in Halloween costumes!

Dad and Emma both distracted by a cat.

Please can I get down now?

She want's a cookie here.

Finally our cute little ladybug!!

After that we took her costume off and let her run wild looking at all the pumpkins. She wouldn't go near a witch this year. Then we had a very yummy dinner at the resturant there.

Well Baby #2 is........

My very nice doctor does an ultrasound at 16 weeks at which time he will try to see the gender if we want instead of making us wait for the big 20 week ultrasound. So we headed to the doctors all excited yesterday leaving Emma with Grandma so we would have no distractions. We were anxious because at Emmas 16 week ultrasound she very modestly kept her legs crossed the entire time. Well this baby did not cooperate any better.

Yes Baby #2 is still an IT.

The spine is along the top, the head on the right.

The doctor said everything looks right on track the baby was very active kicking a lot. But everytime it stopped it was sitting on its feet. We were not able to see a thing. So again we wait for 4 more weeks.

Come On Down!

For those of you who don't have the privledge of being in the best ward in the Church I have the proof. A few weeks ago our activities commity put on a great activity. We played the Price is Right hosted by the handsomest guy in the ward. You guessed it, my husband. Quinn was a great host. He claimed to be a mix between Bob Barker and Drew Carey. He even sang a song about it to the audience set to the tune of Hannah Montana's "The Best of Both Worlds". Don't worry I have video of it.

The event was great, people wore funny shirts and held up signs. Everyone got really into it. Emma was upset at first that she couldn't go up on stage with her Dad but once it started she wouldn't move from my lap. Everyone started yelling out numbers and shouting and clapping. I think she was a little worried they were yelling at her Dad. The games were great, we had an announcer with the real music and everything. The primary kids even got a chance to play. Thanks for a fun evening. (Oh ya the sundae bar was great too)

Your host - in his lovely D.I. plaid sports coat.

Check out Quinn's Laurels!

I didn't even think about a sign but another family gave us this one afterwards.

Baby #2

For all of you who did not believe Quinn's gummy bear ultrasound here is the real thing.

This is our baby at about 11 weeks. It still has a large head but has arms and legs (if you look real close). I am now about 13 weeks along. We got to hear the heartbeat yesterday. Emma was very proctective of me at the office. She was not real happy with me lying on the table with blue goo on my tummy but she got really upset when I had the doctor take out my stitches. She was so cute but Quinn finally left the room with her because she couldn't get over it. The doctor was just glad she didn't hit him like another kid did earlier in the week.

We get to go back in three weeks instead of four. My doctor is trying to get me back on track, some how we got off. Also I will be 16 weeks along and he will try to see the gender of the baby for us. Yeah!! Emma did not cooperate at 16 weeks, she had her legs crossed the entire time so we had to wait until 20 weeks. Here's hoping this baby will not be so modest.
