Christmas Season. Busy busy busy

We have been busy people even since my last blog entry. Christmas partys, shopping trips and house preparation. The first picture of Jonathan and Hunter I just had to document since they both zone out whenever they watch a movie. Emmett is busy trying to get on Santa's naughty list. He is into everything! But he is cute and he knows it. Autumn and I went to a girls party at Grandma Bush's. It was fun and got spoiled! Foot baths and sparkling drinks! But my favorite part of this month so far has been our temple trip last saturday. The temple was packed with people from the valley. It took some work getting into my temple clothes but we did some sealings and it was wonderful! It was very relaxing and stress free. After temple and some lunch we were able to find a blessing dress for baby girl! After doing sealings for children in the temple and getting the dress for our baby girl, I am getting very excited for our new addition and can't wait to add to our eternal family.

30 Weeks

Here we go 30 week belly shot. I am so tired and nervous. I am so sick of traveling! It makes me swell so much and the stress of being away from my kids makes me very emotional. I took Autumn to the doctors for a check up the other day and the nurse asked me when I was due. I said February and she said "Oh thats soon!".....I had a panic attack and I have been a wreck because it IS soon! And I am not prepared! I am nesting like crazy but I am so tired and sore I haven't had much time to think about labor or birth or anything! I still can't even believe we will have four. I can tell my body never got the rest and break it needed from having Emmett. My left leg had torn muscles and nerves from the last pregnancy and I am pretty gimpy and limpy most days. I am grateful this baby is a winter baby, it keeps the swelling at bay but with all my traveling and stress I am retaining water like I did with Hunter. But I have faith that this little girl is meant to be in our family. It is my biggest comfort that she was and has always been meant to be. Emmett is still a baby but this little girl just couldn't wait to come be a part of this crazy household. I have to have faith that I can handle this and be the best I can be for these sweet spirits.

November and December pictures

Loads of pictures. I know. So here we go, updates on november and december. We got a van! I can't believe I have gone without one for so long! It is so easy to put my kids in and the power doors and hatch are amazing! We got a Christmas tree and finally got some presents under it. I would have to say its been tough getting into the christmas spirit. No snow. Too much traveling. And over all exhaustion. Jonathan, Rachael and I went to Las Vegas. It was really good but I missed the kids so much, and the walking was killer. We probably walked 4 to 5 miles every day. Jonathan is into his basketball season. I finally went to a game and took Hunter. He loved it! I can tell he wants to be like his dad and his favorite part of the night was when Jonathan helped him dribble the ball and score some hoops. Emmett is 14 months old and does whatever his brother and sister do. He is getting some back teeth now so he can get cranky. Autumn had her 5 year doctor check up. She did well and is way over the 100th percentile for height.
