Snow Day

On Thursday we woke up to 12 inches of snow!

It is definitely the most snow I've ever seen in St. Louis!

Molly and I stayed home because I was afraid getting my 81/2 month pregnant self out in this mess.

Daddy came home early and shoveled the driveway (with a little help from Mollicans)

She was very excited about the snow! As soon as she saw it she wanted to go out and make another snowman!

She had a lot of fun playing and didn't come in until after dark!

It was up to her knees.

Snow every where!

We weren't sure what to do with ourselves on this bonus day, so we played some games and Molly watched a movie and we took a nap!

This may be the best part of the day: Turtle Brownies! I scraped together all the ingredients to make this! We were super excited!

The Nursery Preview....

This weekend Andy started working on the nursery.

We decided on brown on the bottom and pink on the top.

Molly was a big help! She was so sweet and kept talking about her baby sister.

Here is the second meal that is ready for the freezer. Lasagna roll ups...yummy!

This has been your nursery preview. I'll show you the finished product soon!

Molly's First Snowman!

Molly has been asking the whole week to build a snowman. She wanted him to have a carrot nose and a scarf!

Daddy did a great job building the body.

I built the head and found the decorations!

Molly wanted to throw snowballs the whole time.

She loves being outside, even when it is freezing!

The dogs were so happy to have company outside!

Louie blends in!

Throwing one of her many snowballs. She would just laugh and laugh!

This is what happens after building snowmen!

52 Days-Preparing for Baby Dallner!

We have 52 days till the big arrival of Baby Dallner! I am starting to get a little stressed with things to do! This weekend we went a registered at Babies R Us for a few things that we need. That made me feel better. We decided to go as a family because I thought is was a good idea for Molly to be involved. She was such a good girl. She really enjoyed picking things out for the baby. She picked out this dinosaur for herself. It is actually a toothbrush holder, but will probably never see a toothbrush, right now it is holding a tiny pink puppy and a super ball.

VERY EXCITING NEWS! We decided on bedding!!! I found this bedding on line on Friday night and we both liked it (this hardly ever happens), but it was $169.00. Which I thought was way pricey. BUT, while we were at Babies R Us I had to go to the restroom (of course) and walked past the clearance rack and there it was! On sale for $45.89. A 6 piece set! We got a blanket, bed skirt, 2 sheets, bumpers, and a diaper stacker. We wanted to do a different color scheme (Molly's room is pink and green), but we couldn't pass up this price! It was meant to be.

Here is a close up. We are going to paint the room pink and chocolate brown (MY FAVORITE!!!) I am very excited and can't wait to get started!

One of the other things I wanted to get started on is making meals to freeze for after we come home. My plan is to make double recipes I'm already making. So, tonight I made my first one, spaghetti casserole. This is Chrissy's recipe and is always a great one! Can't wait to have it tomorrow and in a few months!

Delicious and so easy!!!

We are very excited for this baby to get here. Molly really wanted us to put the crib up this weekend. Molly seems to be taking things pretty well, but also is also wanting to be the baby. She wants me to hold her like a baby and feed her her "bottle". I know this will be quite and adjustment for her, and that makes me super nervous, but I hope that by including her in everything she will feel like this is her baby too. We can only hope. I know that my sister is a wonderful blessing in my life and I hope that they will be as close as Andrea and I.

I will keep you posted on all of our progress!

60 Days to Go!!!

60 days from today we will have an new baby girl!!! We are so excited and can not wait! We are excited that January is here so we can start working on the nursery! We still have a ways to go, but are hoping for the best. She is a very active baby, she is kicking like crazy! We can't wait to meet this little soccer player!

Happy New Year!

Me and My Man!

Me and My Girl! She was such a good girl at dinner!

She really loved her pizza!

This plate was completely full of pizza! We think Molly must be going thru a growth spurt!

We had a great New Years Eve dinner at Bravo! We went early and were home before the crowds. Molly was a very good girl, she even got complimented by another diner.

We have had a wonderful week at home just relaxing and enjoying each other. We have had lots of family game nights (Hungry Hungry Hippos is our favorite!) We met the Judy's at Monkey Joes. We got all of our Christmas gifts put away! We watched 4 movies (The Proposal, Iron Man 2, Management, and Beauty and the Beast) Took down all of our Christmas Decorations (I'm always so sad to see them go). Andy cleaned both cars. Andy got lots of Playstation time (although I'm sure not enough in his mind ;) ) And took lots of naps!!! What a great vacation!

We are very excited for the New Year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Christmas in Indy!

Christmas at Mimi's is always a blast! We definitely get spoiled! This is all of us with our Santa Gifts! Molly got a Belle suitcase and a Tea Cart and we got money for a new stroller.

The girls posing on their new tea carts! Could they be cuter?

Andrea got a snuggie!

She loved it! She will still be able to sew!

Gifts galore!

Molly loves her cousins! She has so much fun with Gigi and Addi. They play so well together!

Could these two be any cooler? We got An and Bar both sunglasses as part of their gifts!

We had so much fun at Mom and Johns. They always do so much! It is such a fun event! John made an excellent lasagna for dinner. It is always so much fun to be home and hang out with everyone!

Christmas in Ohio

On the 26th we went to Ohio to visit my Aunt and Uncle and cousins and Grandma. We all love seeing each other and the kids LOVE running around their house! We had a wonderful lunch and exchanged gifts. Miss Gigi got a new bike and helmet. She was very excited!

Both girls got this beautiful jewelry box.

Evan was very excited about his new shoes that he designed!

Molly had to try out her new "lipstick"!

Molly was super excited to get a whole box of dress up clothes from Grandma!

The kids have so much fun playing with Ashley and Evan. This pic was taken right before we left and Molly was exhausted. She was asleep before we were out of the neighborhood!

As soon as we got back to Mimi's Molly had to try out her dress up clothes!

Me and My Princess!

We had so much fun and enjoy seeing everyone! We wish we could see every one more often.
