Catching up

So I am way behind on making blog posts. I've been so sick and tired with this pregnancy that it's basically taken over life.

Let's see, where to start;

We had a great Thanksgiving and were able to spend it with both families. Shortly after Thanksgiving Cole hurt his back. It gradually got worse until we had to take a trip to the ER. I felt so bad for him, he was in so much pain and could barely move. Besides the back pain the swelling had pinched a nerve and was sending shooting pain down his leg and made it go numb.
After many doctor trips and a MRI they discovered he had three herniated discs. He was out of work for about a month and a half while his back healed. He was told that he will have to be really careful from now on and do back exercises. His back is doing a lot better now and he has finally got the feeling back in his leg.

We finally found out we're having boy and we're so excited to experience what a boys like. The girls are really excited and are constantly hugging, kissing and talking to my belly. Asia said one night while getting her ready for bed, "baby brother come out tonight and sleep with me, baby brother wants to sleep with me mom." It was so cute, if only it were that easy. We can't wait until we get to see our cute little boy!

Asia is finally potty trained. I have to add that to our exciting list. She was so stubborn for a week. She wouldn't even try to use the potty. It was pretty frustrating when I was changing clothes all day with no progress from her. I stuck it out and after about a week she finally decided she didn't have a choice, that I wasn't putting diapers on her anymore. So we made it through it just in time for more diapers to change.

For my birthday Cole surprised me with Jazz tickets. We had a lot of fun going to the game. It was nice to spend the weekend with just the two of us.

Ice Fishing and Snow Days

I can't believe how much snow we have gotten this year, it's been so crazy with storm after storm. The girls have had a lot of fun playing in it. Asia's favorite is eating and licking the snow.

Cole and I love going ice fishing so we tried taking the girls one time. They actually had a good time and loved being able to go sledding too. I wish I could say we caught a lot of fish but the fishing was terrible that day and I was the only one to caught a fish.

Christmas

I have so many pictures from Christmas so I had to just put them all together.

Cole's kids company Christmas party has held at the bowling alley again this year. They had bowling, pizza and Santa Clause. I wondered how Asia would do with the Santa thing this year. She really didn't want anything to do with him until I told her he would give her some candy and then she didn't want to wait her turn to get on his lap. What can I said she LOVES candy. Makynlee really got into bowling this year and had fun knocking over the pins with her dads help. Santa gave the kids gift cards to Wal-Mart so of course we had to head there after so they could pick out a toy.
The other pictures were from Christmas Eve at my Grandpa and Grandma Huntington's house. Where we did all of our traditional things; dinner, pinata, Christmas story, homemade ice cream and pjs from g'ma and g'pa.

We had an awesome Christmas this year. It was so fun watching the girls get so excited for Christmas. Santa brought the girls clothes, books and a grocery stand. The girls spend so much time playing store that it was the perfect gift. We ended up getting them both new beds, dresser, night stands and bedding.
Cole got a Wii and a gas ice auger and I got the new Canon Rebel Ti camera and camcorder. It's so nice. I love it.
