Lucas / Monkey

26th April 2009

So here we are 4 months on and I've finally got around to blogging again!! Actually the reason why I haven't is because my camera died and I think some nice visual images of our life go along way to making the blog look lovelly. However thanks to the birthday fairy that is Mum Guy I got a new camera!! So heres to lots more blogging!!

So to update you on our life so far. We found out 20 weeks ago that the next addition to our family is a BOY!! We are so giddy. We were pretty sure he was a boy because of all the kicking. But the ultra sound was super clear and there is no doubt a boy is on the way. Infact my due date is in 2 days time so you'll not have to wait long to see the little angel!!

We are loving life here in America. We finally feel settled and are part of everything that is going on. Stu is still Sunday School Pres and I've still got 2 callings. One as activity days leader and the other as a teacher in R/S. Although I'm on maternity leave from the latter. I get 3 months which is awsome. I've also got lots of friends to keep me happy and entertained! Photos a comin!!

New Do! November 2008

So here it is. My new hair do. I thought It warranted blogging about since its 13 months since my hair saw a pair of scissors but sadly only a few weeks since it saw hair dye that ravaged my hair! What with the dry climate here and my english hair it was in desparate need of some tlc. So this is me after being sat in a chair for 4 hours!!!! Not kidding. Here in Provo they have a Paul Mitchell hair salon school where you can go get your hair done for 8 dollars. The dye is like 30 dollars. So I'm gonna be getting a new barnet every few weeks at those prices!! The only draw back is the time it takes. They are trainees afterall and while the haven't perfected their speed they are pretty good at cutting. But I figure thats 4 hours to read undesturbed except to ask about where I'm planning my holidays sorry vacations!! I'll take it anyday!!

The Belly Strikes Back!! November 2008

So here it is the newest addition to our family!! Well almost!! The baby started kicking in my 16th week which is a tad early I think. Its when Lucas started kicking me too. Phoeb's was a lazy baby and didn't bother to let me know she was there until I was 21 weeks!! I really thought she was dead!! So this makes me think I've got another Lucas coming. As if the world could handle 2 Lucas's!! But whatever is instore we are so excited for number 3!

Bonfire Night Usa style!!

So we wanted to carry on our very British tradition of having bonfire night. Mostly cos It's my fav night of the year! We had a great time. The kids got filthy and cold and loved every minute of it!!

Enjoying hotdogs roasted on metal coat hangers in the fire!!Stu looks like he's in some sales advert. He lokks lost in some fake conversation!! But I assure you the moment was real!!

Roasted smores...Yum!!

Being men and taking charge of the fire!!

Halloween 2008

Lucas was so proud to be Buzz. I'd been sewing his costume all week and each time part of it was done he wanted to try it on. His excitement was so cute. We think he actually became Buzz for a while with his flying off stuff!! My little Jesse!!
We got so much candy!!

Phoebe was so freaked out by Camerons wig and mustache she never quite recovered!! Hence why she isn't in the photo and is infact hiding in her pram!! Julie and Cameron were Sunny and a very pregnant Cher!
