Snow Baby Beluga




This was the first day it was warm enough for me to let the kids go play out in the snow. They threw snowballs at each other which resulted in a banged up forehead for poor David. The snow was a little too hard and icy for snowballs. I still don't know why Jason thought it would be a good idea to teach the kids to throw snowballs at each other. Poor Britannia was at school during all of the fun. David and Mishayla worked very hard on their "snow baby beluga".
Mishayla got a book from the library called Baby Beluga and is obsessed with the name now. She is insistant that we name the new baby, Baby Beluga. While we're on baby names David's top two choices are Guido and Roar. I like Dallin and Kash. I was set on Kash for along time because I think it sounds like a cowboy name, but Jason only likes it if we spell it Cache. I don't think that spelling is very masculine though. Britannia is in love with the name, but she thinks we should spell it Cash. Any great ideas or thoughts, this little guy is due to arrive in 7 1/2 weeks (April 16) and it stresses me out that we still don't have a name for him. Don't even ask about middle names beause that's a whole different debate. We had this same problem with Mishayla's name and Jason just ended saying one of the names we had discussed when the nurse asked us what her name was. Now I regret it, because she's the only one not named after a family member. Oh, the silly thoughts that keep me up at night!

Happy Valentine's Day!






I feel like we've had a whole Valentine's weekend. We went to a little ward dance on Friday night. The kids had a great time, I have to admit that my large tummy kept me behind the camera and off the dance floor. Saturday night some friends watched our kids so we we're able to have a little date. We rented I Hate Valentine's Day (not a great movie, we don't recommend it), we also ate strawberries with chocolate, and drank sparkling grape juice. It was a very relaxing night! A big thank you for the sweet Valentine's packages that were sent. The kids really enjoyed them.
