The last 3 months.....

So...... My last news post was in September so I'll quickly let you know what has been going on and share some fun pics as well.

OCTOBER

I trained for and ran a 10k(6.2 miles) Super fun and challenging! I've never been a runner but I decided to prove to myself that I could do this and surprisingly, I enjoyed it! This pic was after the race with my good friend Kelli who trained with me and stayed by me all the way(although I know she could have finished much faster if she wanted to)! Thanks Kelli You're the best!

The race ended on the track at Boise State Stadium so after the breakfast Karlo had to have a picture with the girls on the famous blue field!

Halloween - Abbie was Jasmine(from Aladdin) and Kallie was a cute little fairy princess! The mark on Abbie's face in the pic is from a little run-in she had with her bed. Oops!

NOVEMBER

I was sick most of the month and my Dad came to stay. He ended up getting a new job in Boise and he and my Mom and my Sister will be moving here in a week! Abbie and Kallie have been having so much fun getting spoiled by Papa and will be even more thrilled when Grandma, Aunt Weezie, and Gypsy(the dog) get here!

We went to Pocatello for Thanksgiving and had a fabulous time with a lot of our family members! This is a great pic of our super cute niece, Josalyn, painting toenails for all the little girls! What a great memory!

DECEMBER

Karlo went out of town to work and left me to prepare for Christmas! AAAAHHHHH........!!!!!! Here's our beautiful nativity in our snowy front yard! Karlo's parents made this for us last year and this is the 1st time we've gotten to use it. I am so excited about the beauty of it and the reminder it is to us each day of the true celebration of Christmas!

Here's a little Kallie funny from a couple of days ago -

Kallie - "Mommy, we're pretending that Abbie's the mom and I'm the kid and your the grandma! K?"

Mommy - "Aye Aye Captain"

Kallie - "Mommy, we're not pirates."

Silly girl!

Also, Abbie has finally decided to quit sucking her thumb and she already has 4 stickers on her calendar representing four nights of not sucking! Way to go Abbie!!

And on a final note, somewhere in the midst of this crazy year I got pregnant!!!(It was planned) Unfortunately, this is the cause of the illness I've been dealing with. We're due sometime in June and we're all very excited! Abbie and Kallie are begging for a little brother, which I would give to them if it were up to me, but we'll see! So, enjoy the pics and I'll try to post again soon!
