Baby Landon update

Just to give everyone an update, Ali did not have the baby yet. The Dr. was expecting to induce her on Tuesday but after doing an ultra sound we were surprised to find out that the baby had showed sugnificant growth over the last 2 weeks and the fuild level was also high. THe Dr. was happy with what he saw and said that we are going to wait a little longer. THe game plan now is to wait for Ali to go into labor naturally if she does not by 4/23 the Dr. will do a C-section on Friday the 24th. THe ultra sound estimated Landon to be about 6lbs 4oz but he thinks that the baby is smaller than that.

Baby Landon...WIll he arrive today?

Well, there is a good chance that baby Landon will make his appearance in this crazy world today. Alison's Dr. appointment is at 3:30pm and we will find out then. Last week Ali stopped growing (Same thing that Aver did) and the Dr. said he wanted the baby to "cook" for one more week and to plan on having a baby on the 14th. Unless there is some miraculous growth during this week. Who knows?? For me I think today will be the day. We also finished the decor in Landon's room, it turned out pretty cool.

Baby Landon's Room

Scott and I are done with the baby's room, with the exception of the decorating part. Scott and I are so excited about welcoming a little boy into our family!

Avery's Favorite Things!

I'm too tired to get back in bed!

One night after Scott and I had gotten avery to sleep we were down stairs watching a movie and we heard a thud coming from Avery's room. So when we went upstairs to see what was going on we noticed that Avery was sound asleep on the floor. I guess she had fallen out of bed and was just too tired to get back in bed so she just stayed on the floor and continued sleeping.

Avery loves her stuffed animals!

Avery loves her stuffed animals! She always sleeps with her pig stuffed animal it is her favorite! Well one night she decided that she needed to have a few more friends in bed with her. After Scott and I had put her to bed with her pig we checked in on her a little bit later and noticed that she had gotten out of bed and brought about 10 more stuffed animals out of the basket and put them in bed with her, and went to sleep. It was one of the cutest things so I had to take a picture!

I love my Daddy!

One of avery's favorite things to do is get on daddy's back and have him go around the house to take her for a ride. It is so cute! Avery loves her Daddy!

I am an instuctor in the relief society, and I have the wonderful oppertunity to teach the lessons from the general conference talks (TFOT). Today my lesson way from president Monson's talk " Finding joy in the journey". What a wonderful talk it was! It talks about no matter what changes good or bad we go thru in life, or challenges whatever they may be that we endure, we need to relish in life and find joy in everything! I was so grateful for the oppertunity to teach this lesson, it was probably one of my favorite talks I have taught from! We are so blessed and have so much to be thankful for! Don't let the hussel and bussel of life keep us from enjoying the moments with our loved ones! Let us remember what is truly important in life, so that we don't find ourselves full of regret because we thought we would have all the time in the world to do everything we want to do. My favorite quote in this talk is "You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find you’ve collected a lot of empty yesterdays" let us enjot the journey now! This video is a perfect example of why it is so important to enjoy every moment we have with our loved ones, and be thankful for what we have! I know it has made me rethink what is important to me, and hope it does the same for you! Just click on the link YouTube - 99 ballons above, and it takes you to youtube.

Our Sweet Little Avery

Recently Ali and I decided that we would lower Avery's crib and put up the day bed rail to see if we could start training her in a big girl bed. (Shes a little young but we have heard other people have success when starting earlier) Anyway she has done really well. THe first 3 night's she has never gotten out of it, she does however tend to get up a little bit earlier. When she wakes up she is really happy because she can just hop out of bed and leaver her room. She usually comes out with an excited smile and finds her mom. Most of the time Ali will still be in bed around 8:30 and Avery will come straight to her with a cheerful hello. On the rare occasion that she has gotten up in the middle of the night we have always heard her and she wakes us up. Well this morning when i woke up for work I was getting out of bed and my foot stepped on a large teddy bear that was not in my room the night before, than as I walked around the bed I see another teddy large teddy bear had been dragged into the room, realizing that oh Avery must be up playing with her toys with out us noticing. I began to look around the house to see where she was at...I look in her room no Avery, I check down the hall and living room still no Avery. Now I began to think ok where did she go? I look again in my bedroom to find our little girl had actually gone on the other side of the bed (Ali's side) and plopped herself down on a large pillow next to the laundry and fallen asleep. It was so cute. She probably came in all excited dragging her bears into our room and when no one else was awake decided to lay back down herself. I feel a little bad that neither of us woke up and hopefully she wasn't too sad.
