Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. The kids made out like bandits! After opening all the gifts, Kels yelled out, "This is the BEST Chwistmas EVER!" McGwire got a PS3. He was thrilled! He has been wanting one for quite a while now.

Oh, how she loves Hannah Montana!

Yay! A Pink DS!

Baby Addyson

I went to the doctor yesterday and they set the date for induction. Baby Addyson should make her debut on January 6th....that is unless she decides to grace us with her presence earlier (which by the way, I would be TOTALLY ok with). She is measuring almost 2 weeks ahead....so it sounds like we will be getting another 8 pounder or so. As far as I know, we have everything ready for her. I am so anxious....I have been very uncomfortable the past couple of weeks....so, I'm anticipating these next couple of weeks to CREEP by....ugh. But I know that she will definitely be worth the wait.

The Nursery

My wonderful mother came into town this past week and stayed and worked like crazy. She painted the nursery, arranged furniture, cleaned the house, did laundry and cleaned out our garage. She was a godsend!

The bedding....I just love elephants!
Changing Table......Mom is painting some canvases to put on the wall here. She did an awesome painting with the baby's name on it for her door.....the flash put a glare on it.....I will try to get a better pic of it later!

We put her comforter on the wall next to her closet.

It's Christmas Time!

McGwire LOVES to decorate for Christmas.....he hounded us for about 2 weeks to put up the tree.

Every year Karly gets the Santa hat puts it on her head and stuffs herself so she can be "Mrs. Claus"

Second Grade Scientist

McGwire had to do a science experiment at school this past Friday. He did such a good job. I would never have dreamed that he would be so confident and speak so well in front of all of his classmates. He called his experiment "black magic". He took a coffee filter and made a black dot in the center with a black "magic" marker. Then, he took a dropper with water and dropped a couple of drops of water on the dot. We watched as the water made the black dot spread all over the filter all the while changing several different colors. I thought it was very cool! I was very proud of him.

McGwire's Party

McGwire had his birthday party at Incredible Pizza. He had a wonderful time. He had around 20 of his closest friends in attendance.

Cheesin' with his cake....what a silly boy!
Make a wish!

Sticking his finger in the cake....family tradition!

Getting ready to dig into all those gifts!

Baby Shower

Dava, Mom, Tiffany, JoDana and Tara gave me and Baby Addyson a wonderful shower! We had such a great time! The food was wonderful. I had a lot of fun spending time with my friends and family. Thank you everyone for the wonderful gifts and for coming to spend this time with me!

Jill with Baby Isabelle...she is so adorable....she makes me REALLY want Addyson to hurry and get here!

Tara made this absolutely adorable diaper cake for me.....I'm so proud of how creative she is!

I just loved the cake......cute and yummy!

Happy Birthday McGwire!

McGwire turned 8 years old today! Ugh....I can't believe it. It makes me so sad to think that he is already so big. These 8 years have literally flown by for me. He is such a little man now. He was so proud......he stood up next to me and he was almost to my shoulders! He said, "Look, Mom at how BIG I am now!"

(just a few pics of him opening his gifts)

He opened his gifts right after he got ready for school....7:30 am. He looks so tired!

This is probably my favorite gift he got......It is a Radio Controlled car that is zero gravity.....it drives up the walls and ceiling......so cool!

Gotta love the Spiderman pj's.

Better Ultrasound Pics

Addyson Kate

We had our 4-D ultrasound today. It was so amazing to see all of Addyson's little features and to try and figure out who she looks like. She weighs 3 lbs. 14 oz.....a big girl!
