Come get me!

'Member how Maddie wouldn't really crawl over Thanksgiving? I don't know why but as soon as we got home she was all over the place! She follows me like a little puppy! Here is a video of me saying "Come and get me Maddie!" She thought it was pretty funny... she giggles easily lately. Enjoy! (P.S. You can pause the music.)

Family Time!




Zak and I had such a fun time seeing everyone over Thanksgiving! I love getting together as a family and enjoy just spending quality time together. This Thanksgiving was especailly memorable cuz we all got sick! :) We LOVE you, Lauren! Its ok... we are so glad that we got to see you, Mike, and Maddie. I think we all would take being sick over not seeing you guys. Dana and Landon... you'll have to let us know if it skipped you! I think my favorite thing that we got to do was decorate the Christmas tree downstairs. Even though I was still sick and put up like 2 things, it was still fun! I can't wait to see everyone again. I love the holiday season! :)

Anyway, so here are the results of the family pics! They turned out really good, I think. Everyone needs to vote on their favorite and also tell me what you don't like about them and I can try to fix it. I'm not a magician, but I can do some cool things! For example, I can't put a smile on Maddie or make her look at the camera, but if you like one of the pics better with her looking backwards, I can paste her head in from the one that she is looking at Mike :) So, let me know! Also, does everyone just want a CD of the pics? I can e-mail them also and you can do what you want with them that way too.

I love you all!

Catching up!

Hi Family!
It has been so long since I have posted ANYTHING here on the ol' website! I have to apologize about that... I guess I feel like I have nothing exciting to say. But, I realized the other day that I am pregnant with your niece or grandchild and maybe you'd like to know what is going on! So here is an update:
Little Emrie is moving a TON! She is having so much fun in my tummy right now. We call her our little jumpin bean :) She moves mostly after lunch when she is awake and fed! Sounds like Maddie! She also likes to move a lot at night when I laying in bed or when I am sleeping. She wakes me up a lot of the time. Sleeping has gotten to be a little harder these days. I toss and turn a lot and am "restless" Zak says, which wakes him up too. Oops! We went to the BYU/TCU game last Thursday night with Apx friends and she must be Zak's little girl because she was dancing to the drums and getting excited when BYU would score! It was pretty funny!
She is about 15 inches long now and a little over 2 pounds. So, long and skinny! I am still trying to figure out how she is laying in there. She likes to stick either her bum or her back out a lot so I look lopsided! She is has a regular sleep pattern and is awake some of the time. I want to try to figure it out so I can understand what she likes for when she gets here. (I on't know if that helps.) She has most of her hair and even her eye lashes and eye brows have grown in. I hope she has Zak's long eye lashes! She also has her fingernails all grown in too.
She is just going to be here in no time and Zak and I are so excited! Thank you for all the gifts that you gave me at the baby shower. I LOVE every single thing I got! You should all be receiving your Thank You cards soon! :) I have everything now in the closet all ready to go! I just need the crib, dresser, and paint the shelf to get it looking ready. Also, we are starting our prenatal class this week!
As for everything else... Zak is doing REALLY well at school. His instuctors rated him in the top 3 in his class. I am really proud of how well he is doing. Work is going good for me and we are so excited to come home for Thanksgiving! Don't forget your outfits for pictures! Also, we just got back from Rexburg this past weekend. I got to see Emily, Ashley, and all our friends. It was really fun and needed! Em, call me! I hear we need to talk! :)
Well, sorry I don't have any pics to post... BORING! But, I just wanted to update you all and tell you how much I love you! :) See you all VERY soon!
Love, Noelle, Zak, and Emrie
