Our Kids

On Wednesday we found out that our Baby is a Girl. Alayna is an April baby, so I have all the girl stuff.
Gideon love to play with this toy.  Isn't he cute in his new sweater vest?

Miss Alayna, hmm, we love our big sister! She loves PJ's.

Coming Holidays

As we were leaving Wal-Mart today the store greeter gives the kids stickers and tells us when Santa will be visiting the store.  (He looked like he might be Santa:) So when we get to the car Alayna says that when we get home she is going to her room to play and wait for Santa.  Oh, how come the nice greeter had to talk about Santa?  A little pre-schooler has little concept of time and how long she will be waiting for Santa.

I won’t deny that I am excited for the coming holidays, but I am glad that I have two months to get ready.  One of my favorite holiday traditions is mailing and receiving cards.  I have always loved receiving any type of card in the mail.  There is something special about hearing from family and friends.

I love photo cards.  Shutterfly is a great site for creating photo cards.  This past year I used Shutterfly for making Mother’s and Father’s Day cards.  Which are now taped to Grandma's walls.

Here is the link for their holiday cards: http://www.shutterfly.com/

David is already planning our Christmas family photo, wow.  This is our cards from a few years ago.

I will be using this site for creating this year’s Christmas card: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards


And in a few months when the baby comes, I probably will be using this link for my baby’s birth announcement. 

And that’s my little plug for Shutterfly’s photo cards:)

Arizona State Fair

We got to go to the fair this last week. Alayna loved the fair last year and really wanted to go again.

We rode the rides.

Went to the petting Zoo.

Played in a fun toddler zone where mommy rested.

  

After riding the Ferris Wheel Alayna told David, "That was Awesome!" 
We had a fun time and enjoyed the fair food a little too much, David is still talking about his funnel cake.

Siblings

It is so much fun watching these two play and work together. They have their moments, but at the end of it all I think that they might just really like each other.
