our SWEET family

This is taken at SunRiver Lodge, where we stayed for Christmas with the entire Friess Clan! There was a big Gingerbread contest going on with amazing gingerbread houses!!!  Later we made some of our own, but not nearly as sweet as these.

Winter Wonderland

Yup, this is real...Dan and I worked on it for quite

a bit with hand saws and knifes and all!
He has green eyes and great jolly round cheeks!
We gave him a nice missionary haircut and tie.

The little one on the right was the one Me and the girls started then Dan came out and decided to show us all up by chiseling away, then he asked me to do the face on him...It was so much fun!

I LOVE THE SNOW!!! I couldn't be happier with this weather. Growing up in Utah this is just what happened every winter it would snow, obviously a lot more than what we have gotten here, but hey, we were able to make some good lookin' snowmen. I also just feel like people in the North West are a little lame when it comes to the snow...EVERYTHING gets canceled or shut down. I had to walk to school in 2 feet of snow growing up. Haven has had every day off of school except for Tuesday this week...why??? Because it snowed...not two feet but MAYBE two inches. Anyway, fun for her she just got an extra week off for winter break!!! Love you all and enjoy the weather, and be safe.

Been a while

So, I know it has totally been a long time since I have blogged, but I find that if I don't have any fun or interesting pictures or stories to blog that I may as well not blog.  But then I read other blogger posts and I notice they just write to say a few things...so that is what I will do.  

Haven has gotten her first report card and is doing terrific!  It is still weird that I even have a kid in school, but next year Myah will be there too.  Haven has decided to get bangs, she wanted some like mine, I was glad too because her hair kept falling in front of her face, now she looks so mature.  I cut them just before church on Sunday.  

Myah is really good at yelling and throwing 4 year old tantrums!  I think she is trying to get it all out before the real baby comes.  Who knows?  She is still a sweetheart though and gives more hugs and kisses to my GROWING belly!  

Dan has been working from home for the past couple weeks so he can work on a special project, it is nice but at the same time it takes more concentration for him than he is used to, some nights he is up till 4 a.m. other nights he gets to bed around midnight but then gets back up by around 4 or 5 a.m.  He has been great with spending time with the girls and I as best as he can.  I am proud of how hard he works.  I love him lots.  We did celebrate our 7 year anniversary on November 16th.  Pretty cool!  Yeah US!!!

I have been doing a lot of projects around the house, painting, drawing,  sewing, fixing up old things...and getting Christmas gifts going.  I am also down to 2 week appointments with my midwife and soon every week!  Pregnancy took forever while I was sick for 5 months, but now it just seems like our boy will be here before we know it.  I am excited to have these last 7 weeks to be with the girls and just have our time.  I love them so much, even when they are driving me Crazy, we have been spending a lot of time just hanging out reading, playing with dolls, watching fairy movies over and over, and lots of crafts!  I will try to post some good pics soon.  Bye for now.
