The girls were so antsy to get outside and play in the snow after one of the first big snowfalls this year. I couldn't get them to come inside. Even with frozen toes and icy fingers they begged me to stay outside. I love that they love the snow and pray that we get more because they are the cutest snow bunnies.
So our semi-annual trip to St. George was so good. Although not as warm as we would have liked it was fun to spend the time with the family and to get away for a mini vacation. You couldn't have paid me to get into that pool but my girls thoroughly enjoyed it despite the cold.
The girls had so much fun this year trick-or-treating. Little Calli was a pumpkin and Livvy was Cinderella. They most especially loved tricking grandma by coming to her door to trick-or-treat. They thought that was so funny. Thanks to the Colemans for going door to door with us and for the wonderful dinner. What a blast!
So Livvy wanted to be Aurora for Halloween but I talked her into being Cinderella as she looks so good in blue and our Cinderella dress was in much better shape. Didn't she turn out beautiful. Proud mommy I must say. We went to a Halloween party on Thursday and she was the bell of the ball.
So we took the kids to Wheeler farms a week ago and they had a total blast. Sweet Jonas was able to join us and it just wouldn't have been the same without him. Mom and Dad came as well and we were so lucky. We all had a good time collecting pumpkins and going through the hay maze and finally enjoying a ride on the wagon. 
Just a few pics of the girls. The one of Livvy is of her on her first day of school. I had to take the picture
So I find it uncanny how much my 2nd and 3rd child look alike. I know Keira is only 1 week old but she looks so much like her big sister. And here are the pics to prove it. These first two are of Calli ; the day she was born and on her blessing day. Any of you who have seen Keira may recognize the face in the blessing photo. Keira pulls that face all the time. The last pic is of Keira and Livvy. It just blows me away at all the similarities. The nose is the only visible difference. CRAZY!
We'd like to introduce the newest member of our family. Her name is Keira Coleman. Born Sunday August 30, 2009 at 7:15pm. Weighing in at 6 lbs. 5 oz. and 18 inches long. Although she was 3 weeks early, she is healthy and all is well. We couldn't be more happy that she has finally arrived into our family. And the girls just couldn't be more thrilled to have their baby sister here. Thanks to all of those who have so graciously supported us during this process. We couldn't have gotten here with out you. We love you all!
So Nick asked me to post some pics of myself pregnant. I guess I just figure that by baby #3, you don't have to make the big announcement. So I guess this is my announcement. My coming out. I'm due 1st to mid September, not sure. But the Dr. will be clipping my stitch the 27th of August. So I could go in to labor immediately or my cervix could surprise us all and hold strong till my due date. We just aren't sure. Anyway. Only 4 weeks to go til I'm off my bedrest. And I am sure that my families are counting down the days. A shout out to them for their wonderful help and support with tending my kids. You ALL rock! 
I know I know I am about a month behind on my blogging. I have several excuses most of which I am sure you don't care to hear. But anyway. This is us up at my sister's cabin over the 4th. Boy did the girls have fun. 
So I know that this is late coming since her Birthday was the beginning of June, but bedrest doesn't fare easy. Things are great and our big girl is 5 now. Everyone had a blast at the party and Livvy got everything she could have wanted. Thanks to grandma for helping with the cake. Livvy wouldn't have anything but a bunny cake and grandma ran to the rescue to make it as Mommy can't do much these days. Thanks to everyone else for you support and generosity.
I can't believe that she is 3 already. She has grown up so fast. Practically bigger than her sister. But she is such a joy to have in our family. She is honestly one of the sweetest most thoughtful little girls I know. She may be quite mischievous but she is such a cute little girl. We love her!
