It's a.....

This is one of her legs and the definite indication that she is a girl!!
This is the profile picture. Kindof hard to make out, but you can see her little nose there on the left of the picture!
There is her head with 2 big eyes looking at us!

We are just so excited and can't wait to meet little baby number 3!!! I have just known for months that she was a girl, because of all the drama she already caused!:) David was convinced (with some others) that it was a boy and had me doubting myself this week, but it turns out I was right! Maggie and David have also been saying it is a little sister. David's reasoning was that he wants another little Maggie, which is funny because I don't know if anyone but David was ready to have 2 Maggie Leigh's in this world!:)
We have chosen the name, Elizabeth. It is a really neat story on why we have chosen the name Elizabeth! Back in January I had a miscarriage. I was only about 6 or 7 weeks along, but I still had a very hard time with it. A couple months after the miscarriage I went to the temple to do some initiatories and I had my list of names with me while I was waiting and there was an Elizabeth. As soon as I saw that name I just got this amazing feeling that I would get pregnant again and it would be a little girl and I should name her Elizabeth! I just started balling as I kept looking at the name and realizing the tender message that He had just given me to help ease my pain. It was one of the most amazing experiences in my life and it gave me so much comfort knowing that Heavenly Father was watching over me and he knew how much I was hurting, but that he had a plan in mind. It was still hard dealing with the loss, but I also knew in my heart that it wasn't time for that child to come to this earth. I am so grateful for little moments like that. And I can't wait to meet little Elizabeth in a few months!! It feels like forever since there has been a little baby in our house!

Disney on Ice, Haircut and Snow Boots!

Some people are surprised to here that Santa "might";) be bringing the kids a doggy for Christmas. This is because they are not here to see how much they take turns acting like the doggy. And all little David is asking for Christmas is a real dog and a yo-yo!
I told Maggie to go and put her pants on and I came back into the room and found her in her Daddy's pants. I was laughing so hard, when I saw her in these.
I took Maggie to Disney on Ice as a reward for getting potty trained. She LOVED it!

Maggie's hair before and after...too cute, huh?!

Last Sunday morning we woke up to a foot of snow outside. The kids loved it!! I was not a fan of all the shoveling I had to do.
I got Maggie some new snow boots today and she insisted on wearing them, even without pants. I know Uncle Gabe especially loved it;)

Well we are just all at home watching this blizzard approach. It is supposed to be 55 mph winds, whiteouts, and lots of snow. They even sent people home early today from work because of how bad it's supposed to be, which is a huge deal for Utah. I guess the last big storm like this was back in 2003, so it has been a while. We'll see how it is tomorrow. We had a nice surprise last night. I was talking to Gabe on the phone and then the doorbell rang and I told Gabe to hold on and he said, "well I'll just let you go." So I hung up with him, opened the door and there he was standing at our front door. He wasn't supposed to be here until Wednesday, but left early because of all the bad weather. In other news Maggie Leigh is officially potty trained!!! Finally!!! I will have at least 4 more months with no diapers. I am so dang excited!!

Halloween

Gabby, David, and Maggie
Barbie, Popeye, The Knight, and Olive Oil







David and Giselle the Cat


We had a great Halloween! Minus the fact that it was FREEZING and raining...We still had a great time going to the ward Trunk or Treat. David and I even won the Cutest Couple for our costume!! We got a lot of compliments and everyone loved how we were like Jim and Pam from The Office!! Little David loved handing out the candy to the kids! He was pretty funny and entertaining with it. Some kids would try to come around more than once and he would say, "No you already got some candy from us." And then he would chase down people who hadn't gotten it yet! It was all pretty cute! Then after the Trunk or Treat, Trish and Gabby came over. It was raining and freezing so we only went to about 5 houses. All in all we had a great Halloween!!
