Sisters, Sisters

Yup! We had our doctor appointment on Tuesday and the results are official! We are having another GIRL! We are thrilled! She is a very wiggly baby, and she didn't take a break during the ultrasound. During the few minutes we were watching, she did a couple somersaults, a head stand, and then gave us a huge yawn (which was very cute to see). She was very cozy in there though, and was usually all curled up.

Here are some of our favorite ultrasound pictures. We realize that while we think they are super adorable, they might not look so sweet (or even distinguishable) to others. So look if you wish, we are proud parents either way :)
Her profile ...
... an arm/hand ...
... and a foot. As a side note, in Kayley's ultrasound, her feet looked much bigger, even though she was a week younger. Maybe this one will get mom's feet :)
This is one of our favorites. She is curled up and lying on her side. Her head is on the far left, the blob near the top middle is her shoulder, right below that is her fist, and to the right of her fist is the rest of her arm.
Towards the end of the appointment, they switched to 3D ultrasound. It was really neat! She definitely has Kayley's (and daddy's) cute button nose.

All her measurements were good, her heart beat nice and steady, and everything growing and developing like it should. We are so grateful and pray that the rest of the pregnancy will continue to go well.

    Congratulations! I was so excited with Mike told me :) These little girls are going to be the best of friends I bet :) Oh and by the way, I asked my Mom about the song book and she said that she went into the Salt Lake Deseret Books and they ordered it there for her. She can't remember exactly when it was, maybe two years ago she thinks. Hope that helps and that you can find it! Congrats again! :)

Our little Lana Faith turned 1 on June 11th. We celebrated in two waves. The first was with rice krispy treats and a few gifts on the actual day. The second was with cake, ice cream, and grandpas and grandmas that weekend. Both were very fun and made her first birthday a special one. Here are some pictures of our sweet girl and her birthday fun. June 11th: Look mom, no hands! The rice krispy treats were made with strawberry marshmallows. Lana  loved them. She kept saying "mmm" and signing "more, more!" She got a sweet doll from Uncle Reese and Aunt Tammy, and a water table from mom and dad!  The weekend bash: Time to open presents! We'll start with a neat toy boat from Aunt Lexie! Hooray for new books! and some cute clothes from the Coopers And a fun puzzle and nice new outfit from Grandpa and Grandma Averett Kayley was more than happy to help show Lana how to make the best use of her gifts :) Thanks everyone! ...

Pumpkin Carving 2012

Halloween is long over; Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's have all come and gone. Yes, it's a little random to be posting about pumpkins in January, but somehow we missed posting our annual pumpkin carvings  when we did our Halloween post. Better late then never, so here you go :) Katie's pumpkin:  Belle Silhouette Jeff's pumpkin: Rapunzel (Tangled)  Since Jeff's pattern was a little more complex this year, we used transfer paper to copy the design to our pumpkins instead of poking holes We love how they turned out! The Coopers came down to join us again this year. Charity and Christian both did pumpkins. In honor of this year's school play, Charity did Les Mis (We don't have a finished picture because she had to take it home and finish it, but it turned out awesome! Way to go Charity!)  Christian did Link from Zelda. It was a challenging pumpkin, and he did a great job. Now back to January. We are doing great. Lana is gett...

Happy Halloween!

We had a really fun Halloween this year. Kayley was Winnie-the-Pooh and Lana was Piglet. Jeff's work had a family trick-or-treat at the office the Friday before Halloween. Everyone's kids got to dress up and walk around to all the offices/cubicles and get candy. It was a lot of fun! The next day, we had our ward Halloween party. The girls got dressed up again, this time for a trunk-or-treat. (We had some cute pictures from this night, but they accidentally got deleted off our camera). Needless to say, by the time Halloween day rolled around, we'd had enough trick-or-treating and plenty of candy, so we all stayed home to hand treats out to the neighborhood kids. Kayley loved  it. When someone would knock, or ring the doorbell, she would yell "The boys and girls are here!" and run to the front door. Even though they weren't in costume, the girls were decked out in Halloween outfits, and Katie got into the "dressing up" spirit with pig-tails...
