It's a Girl

It is official we are having our third little Girl. We had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and the baby was in a ball so we didn't get many measurements and only a good guess at the sex. We were able to go back on Valentines Day and finish up the Ultrasound. It is a girl for sure ( as sure as they can be.) Darren has taken the news pretty well. I think he is okay with a house full of girls. We are so excited for this little one to come to our house. i am due June 12th! xoxo Lindz

Valentines Day 2012

I have been hearing about Valentines Day everyday for the past three weeks. Abby was obsessed with having a Valentines day party. For three days before Valentines Day she made decorations for the party and even let her little sister help. On Valentines Day we went out to eat with Daddy and decorated our house for the "party." Mommy made dinner and then we opened the presents that daddy got for all of his Valentines. Darren bought me a big piece of red Velvet Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory! It was soooo very good! Valentines Day is not my favorite holiday but it is really fun with kids! xoxo Lindz

The Fun of Skype

Since are family does not live close by are other relative we use Skype for the kids to talk to them. About once a week the kids Skype both their grandparents. They have so much fun seeing them on the computer. We are working with the kids on how to talk on the computer instead of just acting silly! It is a work in progress! xoxo Lindz

Tea Party

Abby had a week where everyday she set up her bed with a picnic for her and her princess dolls. It was so much fun watching her have a little Tea party with her dolls. She came downstairs one day and told me I needed to get pictures of her party. I love her cute imagination! xoxo Lindz

The girls new room in Washington

We moved to the Seattle ,Washington area a couple of weeks ago and I finally got the girls new room put together. My mom helped me get there new quilts made and my sister Kristen made the girls monogram pillows! The girls love sharing a room together! I love how the girls room turned out even though we are renting and couldn't paint or anything. xoxo Lindz

Christmas day with the Higham family

Since Christmas was on a Sunday this year we had the great opportunity to go to church on Christmas day. This was a great way to show our kids what Christmas is all about. Christmas evening the rest of my brothers and sister came over to have Christmas dinner as a whole family. We opened family presents and the kids dress-up and did the live nativity! It was so much fun watching my mom try to organize the little kids and show them there parts. My mom got us Chinese lanterns like on the Disney movie Tangled to fly into the sky. It is so nice to get together with family and enjoy the holidays! xoxo Lindz
