Sickys

So the past few weeks have not been the most healthy at our house. It all started about 2 weeks ago when Aly and Will both got head colds. Then, it was passed on to Spencer. As the first 2 cleared up, Spence got gradually worse. He ended up heading to the Dr about a week after the cold started only to find out that he had developed a sinus infection. All that started to clear up this past weekend, when Aly noticed a sore throat coming on with accompanying cold sores. After about 3 or 4 days, Spence felt the same symptoms, minus the cold sores, coming on. He went to the Dr again to find out we caught another virus and that we just need to wait it out with Cloraseptic spray and lozenges. All we want for Christmas is for everyone to feel better!!
Besides that low note, we have been busy getting ready for Christmas. Will actually got 3 new teeth. He pushed 3 molars in within a week, with a fourth one on the way. Its so funny to see him try to chew more with the back teeth coming in!
We have Christmas all set up at our house and are excited to have Gran and Grandpa come up again and share some time with us! It will be a little different from years past, but we are embracing change and hoping for a jolly good time.
We had a great Stake Conference this past week where Elder Hales came in and spoke to all of us. The lessons and testimonies shared were great and helped me to want to work harder at doing the necessary things to be a close and happy family. I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas this week and I look forward to reading about afterwards!
We love you all!!

And its a......

We had our ultrasound today and are pleased to announce that we are having a little......







GIRL!!!!!

Will is going to have a little sister! Lilly is expected to come late April and join our little family!

I am a bad blogger!

Well I will admit it... I am not a very good blogger. It has been a month since the last post so here is the latest update and catch-up! In the past 2 months, Will has finally gotten his teeth. He has 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. He uses them sooo much now. The picture above shows how he enjoyed a cookie and got the frosting on his nose!

I like this picture because it shows how big my little guy is getting! At his last doctor appointment (about a month ago) he measured in at 32 1/2 inches tall and 28 lbs 12 oz. He has only grown since then.
Along with his growing body, Will has a HUGE personality. He found a bowl on the table and put it on his little head. It started as a balancing act and then...
became an astronaut/fishbowl game. He has had so much fun putting his face on everything from windows, balloons, bowls, and screen doors. He cracks me up!
Yes... I know these are a month late, but better late then never. We decided to theme our Halloween costumes this year with mommy as an angel, Will as a little devil, and daddy as a demon. We had fun taking the little guy trick-or treating.
This picture just captures the little devil at work. He would not sit still for a picture. He would rather run away and laugh then cooperate with mom!
In other news, in case you haven't heard, we are expecting again and we will find out what we are having tomorrow. The baby is due April 25 and the excitement is growing as time goes by. Hopefully I will be better at posting what we are having than I was this past month!
