Exciting News

Well I was going to get a picture of the girls holding a sign or something, but I didn't get around to it. I have already told a bunch of people, but I thought I better do the announcement on here. We are expecting #3 in January. We are so excited. All of our kids have been due in January. I always said that I was going to stay clear after Jocelyn, but apparently not. The official due date in January 1st. We just told Lexie today and so she went and told all the neighbors that there is a baby in my tummy. Jocelyn was sitting on my lap and she told her to get off the baby. She also is pretty set that it is a brother. I told her that it might be another sister and she says she already has a sister and that it is a brother. She is really excited. I have been feeling really good. I have just been really tired with packing and everything, but other then that I consider myself very blessed. I guess we will now enjoy Christmas, anniversary, and 5 birthdays all within one month.

Palmer Wife Graduation

They started a little tradition to honor the wives that have endured Palmer also so we had our graduation last night. It was a lot of fun. I love having big get togethers to see everyone before we leave. We have had the most amazing time here. We have met some of the greatest people, and we have developed another family. I may always say that it is going to be hard for Lexie to not walk outside her back door and have friends everywhere, but it will be an adjustment for all of us. We are so excited to move back west and be close to family though. These past few years have been the greatest for me. I am so grateful for all the great friends and experiences that we have had.

The guys were going to sing a song, but there wasn't one that all of them knew. I think Jocelyn spilled her water all down the front of Bri before he stood up there. He did a nice little dance and made me laugh. When he watched it back he was embarrassed.

Nauvoo

This was our last trip to Nauvoo before we leave Iowa. It was really sad knowing that it was the last time. We have been so blessed to be able to go there on a regular basis. We barely missed the horse ride so the elders were so nice and let our kids pet the horses for a little bit.

We have never got a picture taken in front of the temple since Jocelyn was born so we really needed at least one. I am really going to miss the beautiful rooms inside the temple and hope that I will be able to come back again soon and visit.

Jocelyn was so tired; so in this picture she isn't very happy.

We have had many pizza parties with the Kimballs and Macks so we had to had a final one before we leave. Here are all our kids contained since they have food in front of them. Jocelyn was taking Kenna's pizza and she was telling her "no." Jocelyn still continued to steal until I sat by her and made her eat her own.

Our last trip to Nauvoo Dallin and Kenna rode down with us. They played really hard while they were there so on the way home they all crashed on us.

Dallin and Lexie traded seats for awhile so don't worry Dallin doesn't have a flower booster seat.

Our little Entertainer

We have been packing so many things up that Jocelyn's world is turning upside down. She has been really clingy and she knows that something weird is happening. She has to find anything lying around to keep herself entertained. She does a pretty good job at it.
