Update on the Carlson's

We have been busy at our house!! Between Christmas, playgroups, birthdays, callings, and everything else I haven't made time to blog! I can't believe it's been 2 months already Crazy! Well here are the updates: Ellie has decided to stop doing Ballet and start Soccer. We're excited for her to try something different so she can see what she really likes the most! She is also reading more than ever! She reads the Book of Mormon with us every night and hardly needs any help at all! She just amazes me! Hannah just turned 3 last Friday. We had a Valentine's birthday party. There were hearts everywhere! We also went to Chuck E. Cheese on her actual birthday and she got to pick what she wanted me to make her for dinner (which ended up being Eggs and toast..haha). Hannah is starting to speak more clearly now and her spunk and personality is cracking us up every day! She also is one of the most thoughtful children I've ever seen! If Ellie or I can't find something she'll jump up and say "Me find it" and she will almost always find it! She's so sweet! Annmarie is as smiley as ever! She is such a little chatterbox too! She makes every type of sound with her mouth, it cracks me up! She's also started doing a chomping motion randomly throughout the day, she looks so cute with her little toothless gums! She's started eating baby food and rice cereal and loves it!! She's also rolling over both ways now and has started to sleep through the night some nights. Thanks to an amazingly organized friend (Kari..you know who you are!) I've been inspired to organize my house and to be on a cleaning schedule of cleaning the entire house 1 day a week...then you don't have to worry about deep cleaning the rest of the week! I love it! It's awesome! I've always struggled keeping my house clean and this is working better than any other schedule I've tried! That's about all the news at our house except that we got our Silver Dollar City passes and are soooooo excited to go play there soon! YAHOO!

Annmarie's Blessing

So we postponed Annmarie's blessing 2 weeks because the girls were sick and the day before the blessing (yesterday) I got the flu and was just puking my guts out (pardon the mental picture). I felt good enough this morning though so we went ahead and did it, I'm glad we did! It was a beautiful day and I just did not want to put it off anymore!

Updates on the Carlson Clan

Hey Everybody! Y'all need to start posting stuff..I feel like this is my personal blog!! I don't want to hog all the space!
Here are some pictures of the fam doing what we do. We didn't get to bless Annmarie last Sunday because we were all sick but it is scheduled for Dec. 11th. I did my own photo shoot of her in her blessing dress though...so fun!
Love you all!

Halloween

Wow, accidentally posted this with nothing! Here is the real post! Halloween Pictures!!

What we've been up to...besides waiting!

These are not quite in the right order but that's okay!
We have been doing "preschool" every Wednesday from 9-11 with a few other moms and their kids from our ward. This week we went to the farm park, it was sooo cute and tons of fun!

Here's Hannah on the saddle

Ellie was being a sweet sister and holding Hannah's hand and showing her the animals!


They played duck duck goose after seeing the ducks at the pond

Here's the farm...isn't it so cute?

Here is a playground they have..so fun!

Ellie on the saddle

Ellie also started her ballet class this week which she LOVES!! This is her and her teacher Mrs. Klaus, cool name huh?

We weren't allowed to go in to the first class so you'll have to stay tuned in 8 weeks for when the parents get to attend the last class and take pictures.

Hannah had to pose too!

Before class

Last Prego Pic (hopefully!)

Well, my fingers are numb, my feet are swollen, I have a hard time walking, breathing, sitting, standing, and definitely getting up off the floor...must be time to have a baby!
Here is (I hope) my last pic being pregnant with Annmarie! Hopefully the next pictures I post will be of her after being born! Love you all!

Pictures of Hannah and Ellie...and Annmarie

I went to Walmart and got some pictures done of the girls....they turned out so cute!
