At the mall...dare we even go?

Ok, here is my disclaimer! I have been a little nervous to post this picture because I didn't want anyone getting the wrong impression but the result of this was too cute not to post. Reed & I were at the mall today basically wasting time since I am Stewart less this weekend and well, my little girls love listening and dancing to the loud music at Abercrombie & Fitch and before I knew it Ryleigh was running over to this giant picture of this poor kids belly and yelled out "BELLY BUTTON", of course everyone and there dog were walking by.

Reed turned bright red and coincidentally we grabbed the girls and pretty much ran the opposite direction. Poor Ryleigh is infatuated with belly buttons since mine has become an outy with this pregnancy. Honestly, you never know what these innocent children will do.

Getting Bigger & Bigger

How appropriate is the picture above? We just went to another appt for baby today and as usual he is still gaining more and more weight. I'm sure I will pop like a balloon before he makes it out. They let us know that he is in th 78% for his "age". Talk about a big boy. At 33 weeks we already have a 5lb 6oz little one. He will surely be the Football player his daddy has been praying for. On parents.com it showed this picture as the size a baby his weight is to be. Other fun news is that he has a full head of hair. It is crazy what you can see on ultrasounds these day. More updates will come but the biggest news right now is his crazy growth.

Uncle Reed Feels the Need for Speed!

Ok so as soon as I posted the last blog Ashlyn decided to try it again. Of course having such a great uncle, Reed decided to step in and show them how much fun they could really have. Uncle Reed working up a sweat, pushing the girls around!

Grease Lightning

This morning I woke up to screaming, giggling girls and wondered what was going on. Ashlyn had already dressed herself in the princess dress of choice for the day and they were using the block box to drag race across the floor. As each one of them took turns toting around the other they began to get a little braver and tried going faster then the time before. Our greasy haired little girls were having there first taste of speed. It was so fun to capture their little faces raging with hysteria!

I couldnt resist when I saw how hilarious the girls looked last night during their bath, I just had to post these pictures. The classic "whoville" head & bath time. They love getting their hair scrubbed especially if it involves a crazy hair-do.

Baby Boy Smith

Well, today was the beginning of the end of this pregnancy. I am 29 weeks 2 days and will start going to appt. every 2 weeks from here on out until "baby boy" is born. The poor thing still doesn't have a name. We were able to see his little growing body in a 3-D ultrasound today and those are the pictures you see posted. The update is that he is now 3 lbs 3 oz and growing big and strong. He is low in the pelvis in birthing position, so hopefully we wont have to worry about a breech baby. As you can see, again, this is not my baby. They said his face is a little squished down there so his features look a little more enhanced, but he is a chubby little boy. Look at how kissable those lips are. I cant wait to see how true to the scan he really is.

Ashlyn's Princess Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Ashlyn's Birthday with all of her friends at the Lollilocks boutique. They all got to dress up like little princess' and had their nails,toes and hair all done. They had a real Tea Party with pink 7-up and had cake. What a fun little time they all had. Oh to be a princess if only for a few hours.

Ryleigh's Great Rescue Mission

I just had to write a blog that went along with the pictures I took the other night. Ryleigh is so patient with Ashlyn's "non-sharing" of her personal favorite toys. Stewart and I turned the corner the other night to find Ryleigh in the hall after having gone into the sleeping Ashlyn's den and retrieving the ponies of her choice that she so desperately had wanted to play with earlier in the day. Bless her little heart she just wanted to play with them so bad she waited until her sister had gone to bed to play with them.

Ryleigh Too!

Well of course you can't do a picture of Ashlyn with out taking one of Ryleigh, so I took this snapshot this morning to and I swear I have seen a picture of Stewart as a child with this face too. Come to think of it I am sure he still has it! Our sweet little Princess...boy she is such a funny little one!

Ashlyn's First Primary Talk

Finally an event worthy to talk about here on the Blogspot :). Ashlyn gave her very first primary talk today. I'm telling you I love all these first milestones but it is just evidence that this little baby girl we prayed so hard for is growing up way to fast.

She was so proud to be able to stand up at the microphone (and of course, it wasnt working) but she did such a great job! It was so fun to here her tony little voice say:

"Each day we are given a chance to show we know how to be like Jesus and follow him in faith.

We can show faith by

• Honoring our family members
  Saying our prayers together
  Reading the scriptures together
  Helping each other

I love my family and want to be like Jesus!"
