They're Finished!

I got the stocking finished finally. I was a little afraid to put the letters on, because once on, they weren't coming back off. They turned out really well though I think.

The baby's looks the same as in the last picture since I don't have a name to put on it yet.

Stockings Almost Finished!

I got all of our Christmas stockings sewn together! They are finished, expect for putting on the names.

Christmas Stockings

I decided to make Christmas stocking for my family. My cousin was making some, and I liked the idea. Liv still doesn't have one, and Marcus and I just have generic ones from when we were first married. I thought making us all ones would be fun. This is just a picture of the fabrics - I haven't started putting them together yet.

Marcus' is the one of the left and mine is the one on the right.

Livvy's is on the left and the new baby's is on the right.

Lack of Exterior Plumbing

So we had our ultrasound this past Thursday and then went up to Orem for Justin's blessing the next day so I haven't had a chance to announce our baby. The ambilical cord was between the baby's legs the whole time, but the doctor finally gave us a fairly confident "I'm going to say that due to a lack of 'exterior plumbing' it looks like a girl." So we are having a girl! We are super excited. We even asked Livvy what we should name her, and so far she has only come up with "I'm not a boy." I'm not sure we will go with that, but it could be helpful during those first few months when people have a tricky time. (Even when dressed in pink flowers there are still some people who tell you what a precious boy you have!) The due date stayed the same as well, and the baby is due on Jan 25, the day before Liv's 3rd birthday.

Livvy's Belle Dress

Here are a couple pictures of Livvy's Belle dress. I decided I would try to make one for Halloween. (BTW - I made it a size 4 so she could have it for a while, that is why it looks big, it is.) It turned out ok. Not magical, but hopefully it will at least make it till Halloween. She loves it though!

Livvy's Curtains

The pics aren't very good because her room was dark, but her window was really bright. :)

Trip to LA - New Car - The Past 2 Months

So, first we had an awesome trip to LA, well Valencia, California. We got to spend a week visiting with cousins and aunts and uncles, going to bouncy fun-lands, and Magic Mountain. We celebrated Easter and went swimming. With the exception of some tricky bedtimes and a middle of the night child throwing up in someone else's house, crap I don't know where anything is episode, it was such a fun trip.

So, the day we left we finalized buying a new car. Silly timing, I know, but it just happened to all fit into place right then. We ended up getting a Saturn VUE. It is everything I never knew I wanted. We took it on our trip and LOVED it. Lots of room, but not a boat, and I don't have to bend over to put Livvy in her car seat!
