Gwen 4 Months

Hello! My baby is four months old! It's fantastic. She's still snugly, and very very chubby. She is a very big girl, at 15 lbs and 8 oz. she's in the 90%, and her height is 95%. We make 'em big around here.
Another happy face.

Halloween 2009

Trick-or-Treating is so much fun! I had so much fun last night with Evelyn. She was a cute little witch. I made her costume and it turned out HUGE, but it worked well because it was cold and so her coat fit underneath her dress. I planned that...

Here she is all ready to go, I love this picture.

Her and cousin Faye. She loves Fayes guts and always talks about hugging her.

Gweners and Grandma on Halloween night. Gwen didn't stay in her costume for very long.

Best picture of both of them. I'm beginning to think that it will be impossible to get family pictures with even more kids. One's crying, the other isn't looking, no one smiles. Kinda funny.

She was so cute walking around with her witch hat!

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving!

A Teeny Bit of Snow...

...Goes a long way. We made a HUGE snowman. It was the biggest Evelyn has ever made. That afternoon she ran to the back door to admire our work and it had shrunk to a mere few inches.

ESPN College Game Day

Big News! We were at College Game Day this last weekend! What? You don't know what the heck that is? Well, I didn't either before this.
We've been planning our annual 'Go To A BYU Game' shin-dig and decided to go to last weeks game. The ESPN football guys travel to one college football game every Saturday and chose the BYU game last week. Derek was excited and I didn't really know what that meant. So we wake up early Saturday morning and drive to Provo (we left Ev at Melanies and had Gwen with us). It was like a concert going on, it was crazy! Hundreds of tents where people slept so they could be up front, huge speakers and lights, security, crazy fans for all sorts of teams, and lots of moms with babies, haha. I told Derek on the way there that I was going to feel dumb with Gwen in my pack, and he assured me that I wouldn't be the only one, he was right and it was hilarious. Some parents were throwing their children in front of the cameras just to get them on TV, excuse me, ESPN. Now I don't know much about all this but I do know who Kirk Herbstreit is, I've got a big TV crush on him and Derek doesn't seem to mind.

Here's Derek conversing with them, they seemed to really like his opinion on things. Just ignore the security guy who wouldn't move.
The stage! Unlike a regular concert, the people on the stage had there backs to us. My man Kirk is on the left here. Yow-za!

You know I must love my man a ton to get up so early and celebrate football with him. I do.

It was a fun experience, and no visit to Provo is complete without almost literally running into an old boyfriend there. Gotta love that!

Pumpkin Eaters 2009

What's up blogging community? Happy soon-to-be Halloween! We carved pumpkins last week and it was a hoot. Evelyn had lots of fun and was only hesitant about the slime for a minute or two.



This is one of those pictures that I just LOVE! Every now and again I get one of these. It was freezing outside, but had to get a pic of the girls. Gwen is making her inquisitive face because her eyes are huge!

Derek and my mom convinced me to make Evelyns halloween costume. I'm not sure why I succumbed to the pressure, but I did and it's made. Pictures soon, I will say that her costume may fit her for the next few years also, it's a little big :).

Tied With Love

This is how I get my little bundle to sleep longer. I always laugh when I look at her when I'm laying her down for a nap. Thought you all might get some laughs as well.

3 Months

Wow, what an original Post Title. If you haven't guessed, Gwen is 3 months old. She is now sleeping through the night (10 hours-can't wait for 12)! I almost wrote that sentence without an exclamation point, what was I thinking? Time has so much more meaning when I'm pregnant or have a new baby. One month is a large chunk of time.

I've considered that the title of our blog is incorrect, it is me that is outnumbered. I live with Dereks clones. I am the odd one out. My little newborn tots look nothing like me. Gweners looks JUST like her daddy, and she's very happy about it. She still continues to smile at everyone and is very pleasant. She likes commotion, and is quiet when there is something going on, and loud when it's quiet.

Snuggling with daddy, in one of her favorite positions to be held.
LOVE this. Especially wanted to show off her curly top. She's just starting to laugh, my snake fang fingers are tickling her.

3 Month old photo. She happened to be wearing her Halloween shirt today, and since it actually is that season I just kept her in it. And none with Ev today, we did this while she was napping.
