Our Little Girl is Growing up

So our little girl is finally moving up to a toddler bed....here is the pictures of new bed and her excitement!!!

20 weeks pregnant

So, I am officially 20 weeks along with little miss Emma Grace Crater, and I felt it was time for more updates and another picture.

Little miss Emma, is definitely a little kicker and it was great because two days ago, we were finally able to see her kick and my stomach moved; its the most precious thing you will ever see. Now she is approximately 10.5 inches long and weighs about 7 ounces; according to my pregnancy ticker.

I as well, am also finally doing better, and was able to finally put on some more weight. Then yesterday, I received my H1N1 shot, which was very easy and almost pain free.

Well enough updates and here is the picture already.

Ready for Alaska

So, we decided to take a pair of jeans back to old navy and get ones that fit better, and we came out with the most adorable outfit ever.

So here is Marissa ready for Alaska...

Marissa made it in the special joy downs babies

So, as some of you may know we had a professional photographer take some pictures of our family...here is the first picture and when we get more...I will post the other ones.

This one is absolutely the greatest picture of Zach and I

Helping Hands

So today, as mommy was in the cleaning mood, Marissa decided it was time for her to help.

So she helped me fold laundry and even hid from me...here are the funny pictures.

Then to finish up the day, she watched her Strawberry Shortcake movie in her "big girl" chair.

Happy Halloween

So Happy Halloween to Everyone!

Halloween was a great day full of adventure. Marissa absolutely loved trick or treating this year, especially being dressed up as a little pumpkin. She loved walking up to new places and getting lollipops. Well, here are the pictures from our night.

Then I wanted to share with you a new view of baby, Emma Grace and her growing. I am now 19 weeks pregnant and loving that I can feel her kick now. We have a appointment Monday, November 2nd, so I can update more later.

Also, as most of you may know, on the 19th of November, we are going to see my family in Colorado. This will be a fun adventure, and we are all excited to meet all the new members of my family...Marissa can finally meet her two cousins, Kaedence and Kaley. Thank you all for checking in and there will be more pictures to come.

and the baby is......

A GIRL....we are proud to announce that we are having another princess and her name will be Emma Grace Crater.

Autumn weather at the park

So we had a lot of fun the other day at the park...so I thought that you would all enjoy the pictures of our autumn princess.

Halloween is almost here...

So today, we decided to start getting ready for Halloween, by hitting the pumpkin patch and taking pictures of Marissa in her costume. So here they are for your enjoyment and we are sending Halloween cards soon.
