2 weeks, 2 days, and Counting!

Well we are getting SO close to our due date and feeling extremely excited to finally get to meet our new little man. Our official due date is April 14th, but who knows if he will come early or late. I had an appointment on Thursday and my doc said from the way things are now, she is pretty confident that I will go all the way. I'm starting to suspect that he may be late, as Rylynn was late and I think Carter would have been too if I hadn't been induced. Never know though, and he may be early or right on time...all which would be fine with me. We are all ready and have all the gear set up and are just waiting to put him in it all and keeping the cats out. A couple of weeks ago, I painted the nursery and then made curtains for his window out of some of the same fabric that will be in his quilt that my mom, grandma, and sisters are making for him. These pictures are the best that I could get with out the light making the wall color look too neon. Enjoy!

Sledding Surprise

Yesterday we took the kids sledding. They had been waiting all winter long to go sledding and other than being able to go once in the mountains while visiting Lindsey and Daniel, we hadn't gone all year! The park down the street has a terrific sledding hill so we headed over there to have some fun. The drifts were incredible and the wind had blown all the snow onto the side of the hill creating a huge cliff off the side of the hill. The picture doesn't even come close to capturing how large the drop was. Below the "cliff" there was no snow on the grass. It was quite a site.

Rylynn took two runs along the side of the hill but it wasn't steep enough and able to give her a fast ride. So, we decided to let her try and ride the big hill and go over the cliff. (This video shows her on that ride)

She rode it with success and when she stood up we saw her with strange look on her face that very soon turned to crying. She started yelling that her tooth was falling out of her mouth. Apparently, as she went off the cliff she knocked her teeth together and it made her tooth ready to come out. Now, this tooth was already a tiny bit loose, but NO WHERE near ready to come out.

We decided to leave because she was so upset and bleeding. We hadn't been in the car more than two minutes and all of the sudden Rylynn shouts, " I pulled my tooth out!!!" So she got to go sledding and lost a tooth too, what a day!

We have a 6 year old?!

On Sunday, we celebrated Rylynn's 6th birthday!!! We could hardly believe it! She has grown up so much and yet is still our little girl. She had a Tinkerbell party this year and had the family and a couple of friends over for a fun-filled party. They played games, ate cake, had a pinata, and all sorts of fun. Thanks to everyone who was able to come and celebrate with us.
