We saw our baby for the first time yesterday . . . .

But we didn't see any of its "gender parts". That's right - since it is our last we are keeping it a big surprise. Things look good though and the little jr. was just as lively as could be.

Most of the time he/she had his/her leg up like this just hanging out. He/she must be pretty acrobatic!

Toes to kiss! Even though I'm scared of my ability to take care of 4 kids, I got a little excited when I saw this cute little thing.

On a different note, if you scroll down you will see our Halloween pics. I entered Jason's into a photo contest and he won the category for "funniest" costume. Hey - I got a free 8 x 10 out of the deal.

Halloween Happenings!

Halloween was a hit as usual! We like Halloween at our house.

Savannah was a wizard

Ava was a "Diva"

And Leah was a cute little piglet

Jason was dressed like a girl

And I went as myself . . . . A witch!

Suprise!

Well, I'm sure almost everyone has heard the news by now, and I know I am not all that great on keeping up with my blog (like anyone reads it anymore), but in case you didn't know - Yes, it's true - we are expecting our 4th baby in March! This has come as quite a surprise for us, a shock actually. I am about 17 weeks along, feeling good, I haven't been sick. Mostly, just trying to get used to the idea of having 4 kids, and 2 of them only 21 months apart! I hope I can handle it all, and in case you were wondering - this is the LAST Miner to join our bunch. And, I won't be sad if it's a girl!

Our kids are so excited, Ava has been super sweet to me and worried that if she's naughty it won't be good for my baby.

Savannah has been coming up with names, some of them a little crazy. Yesterday she was thinking of the name Stella and Emma.

Leah, well Leah is just at a fun age right now and I am loving it. I love it when she says "Mom", it is the sweetest sound. I'm sure it will be hard for her to have to share the limelight!

Ava's first day of Kindergarten!

Watch out, she's in Kindergarten now! She was really scared for her first day. She cried all morning long because she did not want to go. This didn't give me an opportunity to be sad, in fact after that morning I was ready for her to go! But she really had fun when she got there and was so excited to go the next day.

Savannah's first day of school!

Today Savannah went to second grade! She was too excited to eat her breakfast and she was all smiles as I walked her to the school.

Random Stuff

I can't believe that summer is almost over. We have been keeping busy with kids in swimming lessons, tumbling, and summer preschool. We've had lots of fun with cousins sleeping over and birthday parties with friends, and we have been to St. George a couple of times to their new aquatic center that is so much fun. I think they need one in Cedar for sure. Here are some random picture to share.
I love this picture of Leah, she hated this life jacket so we didn't leave it on her that long.

And She Walks

So I have been really lazy with my blog lately and not posted anything for a while, but for documentation sake I need to post about little Leah. She finally took her first steps on August 4th, just less than a week ago. She is still really wobbly and is still practicing walking from couch to couch, or if Jason is home she practices walking from me to him.




And My favorite thing about the first picture is Jason's face in the background. He has this little girl spoiled to the core. She is definitely daddy's girl!

We love that little Leah girl!
