We took P for his second plane ride last weekend when we went to Salt Lake for a wedding. Our girl, as always, loves to be her dad's co-pilot, but this time she had to share her seat with her brother. He loved it, but I was happy the ride only lasted 50 minutes because he did get restless and wanted to crawl all over the place!

Hello to all! I know it's been awhile since my last post...time goes by way too fast! Our little boy has just turned one today. For those of you who attended our girl's big shin dig and Luau for her 1st birthday, I felt P needed a little more than just a birthday cake put in front of him. So, we decided to have a swim party (since it's only 20 degrees outside) at our local gym. I invited some friends and classmates that have gotten really close to him over the year and my mom and dad came up from down south. We had a great time and enjoyed the nice indoor warm water.

We only have 7 weeks until we should expect our newest little one. I don't have a scheduled c-section date just yet, but will be delivering at 39 weeks. I have had some early contractions, so we're taking it easy just a bit. We thought since P's birthday is right next to mine then maybe this next one will be right next to Matt's, which is April 12th! We'll see...we know it will come when it's ready. We still haven't found out a sex yet and are waiting for that big day to decide on a name. Our girl has an idea for Stelluna if it's a girl!

Our New Addition!

Here are pics of the newest addition to our family...Milo Mikkelson. Matt didn't think that soon to be 3 kids and 1 dog were enough, so he added another member to our family. This dog was found roaming a few towns north of us by another family, they had him neutered and got him the shots he needed. They were giving him away and Matt thought Ole needed a friend...so here is!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Merry Christ-mas a little late and Happy New Year a little early...May your year be filled with love, joy, laughter, and good health! Hopefully this year won't go as fast as last, but it's kind of like a roll of toilet paper...the closer you get to the end...the faster it goes. We'd love to get to visit more family and friends...it's not looking too prosperous, but not totally out of the question! We have tons of snow, so if anyone is up for a good ski run, we're minutes from one!

Our Snow...

For all you St.George wimps that had a snow day because you had 3 inches of snow...here are our pics of the kids playing on our 15 inches of snow. Nothing has been closed down, we went Christmas shopping in it and Matt has had to plow our driveway too many times. It did take my sister awhile to dig her car out because she tried to plow through a snow bank in front of her car rather than listen to Matt! It took 4 men to dig her out! We are looking forward to a winter white Christmas!

first pics with Santa!

We had our first visit with Santa on Friday night. A friend of ours nicely asked Santa if he wouldn't mind coming to her house for a visit and to have some cookies! P did great and loved him...especially the candy cane after. Our girl gave Santa her very tiny wish that only included an American Girl baby. They both had a good time and loved every minute!

Matt had a business trip to North Dakota for 3 days and he was able to take our girl with him. He does a great job at taking pictures. He's actually the photographer in our family...I think he gets it from his mom! They had so much fun that everytime I talked to her she wasn't ready to come home. As you can see in the pictures of the hotel room, Matt lets her get away with a lot more than I do...aka the messy room with clothes all over and she's eating on the floor and not a table. They were able to go to a children's museum and do some sight seeing. I love the picture of the two of them in front of the river. I always heard that it would be daddy's girls...it sure is! I'm sure it doesn't hurt that he spoils her and buys here whatever she wants!
