What have we been doing???

We have been doing a lot of things but mostly inside, we are outside for small amounts of time due to cold winds and rain and SNOW!!! Claire loves, and I mean LOVES Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. This is the only movie she will actually sit through and she giggles and laughs at it. Also she loves Steve, you know the monkey that talks. Claire is not a huge TV or movie person, but this one we can not live with out.

I am now as of today 20 weeks in my pregnancy I am actually starting to look pregnant and not just chubby. I did the same with Claire although I started out heavier with Claire then with this guy, so I didn't look chubby for quite as long, well because I started out a little chubbier. Yahoo for half way!!

Here are some fun pictures of Claire and what she has been doing:

Sleeping with her shoes

I got in the shower one day and came to find this trail of wrappers,

This bag of Dark Chocolate Dove candies

and this cute face sitting in the computer chair. She was so excited she got the wrappers off, and Dark chocolate to my complete amazement does not melt like regular chocolate does. So less mess, maybe if she likes is that is what we will have her eat, and it is good for you, (well better than milk chocolate).

It also rained that day and Claire loves the rain (I do as well) so she sat on the floor and looked out the back door with big eyes and had some dinner. She was in heaven.

Girl's Weekend

Well girl's weekend was good fun again this year. We had EVERYONE there this time. My sister is back from her adventure down under and is now invited (okay she was always invited) again to join. We of course headed up to Pebbles in My Pocket to get some scrap booking supplies, and even those that said I don't need anything walked out with a new craft project.

We then headed next door for lunch at good old subway and then headed to Park City for shopping, shopping and more shopping. According to Marie we shopped for 8 hours. That is right, I am not a huge shopper and never have been (maybe because clothes don't fit the way I think they should, thus the reason for all the accessories and shoes I own, they always fit), but with good company and EXCELLENT deals what could go wrong.

I got some great deals for Claire, she is tall in the torso and short in the legs, so shirts never fit and pants and skirts do forever, so we needed new shirts for summer already, and it is only spring. They had great deals for that, and I found two easter dresses for the next two years for $5.00 a piece can't beat that.

I got lots of stuff for the little man, hats, vests, a swim suit for next summer, a easter outfit and lots of pants and shirts and onsies. So great.

Found great deals on some dresses that I can wear this summer seeing as I get REALLY hot when I am pregnant and don't ever seem to cool down, I may be wearing lots of dresses and skirts.

After our 8 hours of shopping we headed to Midway, (my SIL's Dad has a house there that we stay at) and we headed to this cute restuarant for some great food, and talk. After eating we headed to the house and talked, scrapbooked, giggled and giggled some more.

In the morning we had a great breakfast of Crepes (we have them every year) YUMMY. Here are some photos: (thanks heather I took them off your Facebook)


Park City out shopping,

Chelsea taking a photo of herself

Just waiting to go to the next store

we were all a little pooped but we did have a great fashion show at Downeast and got to sit on the big leather couches, we should be ready to go

Getting ready to eat, don't worry that I look like I might be cold or that I have to go to the bathroom I told Stacy it was probably both. Speaking of Stacy she isn't even in the photo,so I get to blame the photographer that I look the way I do ;)

Marie and her very large (I got one as well) Strawberry Lemonade, it was FANTASTIC!!

Thanks ladies for the good times, can't wait til next year!!!
