Stuffington Bear Factory

Emmy's class when to the Stuffington Bear Factory for a field trip today. I volunteered to go with them. They got to take a tour of the factory, find out why they are named "Teddy" bears and then pick out and help make their own teddy bear. They had a really good time and it was fun to get to go with her. Here she is helping stuff her bear.

Waiting for her bear to be stiched up.

Vacuuming off any left over fur.

"Bathing" her bear in an air bath.

This bear is over 10 feet tall and weighs over 500 lbs.

These are the 4 girls I was in charge of; Ava, Emmy, Bella, and Ashlyn.

Me and Emmy. Gotta love the huge pregnant belly. 36 more days....

 Her and her class.

President's Day

Our zoo passes our about to expire, so we decided we would go one more time. We were at the zoo shortly after it opened on President's Day. Jamie went into work a couple of hours so he could go with us. It was a fun morning.

Random Happenings from Our Life Lately

I got to travel to Snowflake to watch my friend, Christine, be sealed a couple of weeks ago. I made the trip in one day and left the kids with Jamie. It was so fun to get to be in the temple with her. She is an amazing person and I am so happy for her. The roads were horrible though. This is a picture from on the way home.

Last Saturday the kids begged me to get into the pool. I tried to talk them out of it for quite awhile but they weren't listening. So I told them to go ahead. I think you can tell by the look on Emmy's face how cold it was.

 I think we have been wearing our kids out lately.

This is a fun sign we made for Jamie's parents cabin for his mom's birthday.

And recent pictures of Evie and her cute red curls. I love this girl so much and it makes me sad that she is going to be replaced as the youngest in our family so soon.

Valentine's Day

We had a pretty low key Valentine's Day. Jamie had to take the teacher's quorum to the temple at 4:30 that morning. So he had to get up at 3:45. Here are the kids' little prizes that we got them.

Since Jamie had to be gone, he went the night before and got the kids Dunkin Donuts. They were so excited when they woke up the next morning.

Later that day, we went to Emmy's class for her Valentine's party.

Me and Jamie exchanged gifts that night and then went out the next night.

Rook

On the 8th, I had another sonogram. I was almost 33 weeks. We learned a couple of things about Rook. First, he has a lot of hair. That wasn't a big surprise since all of our kids have been born with a lot of hair. And he weighed about 5.5 lbs give or take a pound. We are now down to 36 days, until his due date and we are getting excited to meet him.

Mom and Son Date

While the girls were on their date, me and TJ got to go out. He wanted to go to McDonalds for dinner so we did that and then we rented a movie, Ice age Continental Drift. He got to pick out a snack for the movie. He picked Reeses Pieces. After that we came back and watched the movie. TJ LOVES movies and it was fun to get to hang out with just him.

Daddy-Daughter Date

Last Saturday was the girls daddy-daughter Valentine's dance with Jamie. This was the first year that Addy was old enough to go with them. I was going to make these dresses for their Easter dresses but we bought them some other ones, so I decided I would make them for them to wear to the dance. I thought they turned out cute. I still need to make Evie's.
