MEET JAREM

He's here!!! Jarem was born early in the morning on April 6th.

He was 7lbs 9ozs and 20 inches long.

Labor and delivery went just fine.

We are home and the girls are doing good with him.

We are soooo in love with this little guy!!

Meeka's Birthday Doll

My niece Meeka turns 8 today.

For her birthday she got an "American Girl Doll".

My sister asked if I would make doll clothes for her new doll.

These are the outfits I made for her birthday.

Happenings at our House

Emmie decided to potty train - wahoo!

So now she gets to play the computer.

Thanks to an awesome aunt that gave us the Easy Link.

She is in panties full time and doing great.

Hopefully she won't revert back when Jarem is born,

in about four more weeks. Let the count down begin.

My guess is he'll be born on March 30th.

Weighing seven pounds eleven ounces.

The BEST Part of Baking!

Is there anything better than licking the spoon after making brownies?

My girls look forward to this - The Best Part of Baking.

A Few New Things

Last Friday Shem had a conference in Salt Lake so we tagged along.
Then since we were already half way to Ephraim

we decided to go the rest of the way and see family.

After his conference we took the girls to the Clark Planetarium.Great fun except we forgot Emmie's stroller.
Note to the Planetarium - you need to have a couple strollers

people can rent and a place to hang your coats.

We got to Ephraim late Friday and prepared for a crazy Saturday.

Shem's sister April is also expecting in April.

They are having baby number four as well.

But we are expecting our first boy and

they are expecting their first girl.

So we had a baby shower together with all the sisters and in-laws.

We visited some other friends as well and

they were so nice to give us baby boy things.

After the shower it was off to basketball and the Malt Shop.

Shem played some serouis ball with his brothers while I

visited with the "Scrapbook Gals" and had treats.

Sunday we went to church and it still feels like home.

Then one last stop on the our way out.

We saw some friends that had their sixth baby a few months ago.

A busy but FuN trip for sure!!

Thanks to everyone that gave us boy stuff

and to the Smiths for taking care of our girls.

Jarem's Blanket

Every time I'm pregnant after I know the gender of the baby,

I make them a special blanket from mom.

Each of my girls have their special blankets too.

I love Winnie The Pooh so each blanket has to have Pooh on it.

This is Jarem's Blanket.

Only two months left until we get to meet little Jarem.

Project Success!

My belly is growing quickly these days

and most of the pants I have are uncomfortable.

I love the panel/pouch maternity pants.

So I decided to try turning low rise

maternity pants into the panel kind.

I started with pants like these that have

the big uncomfortable elastic band.

And small stretchy undershirts - like these.

I ended up with three pairs of pants.

They are perfect and seriously so comfy.
