Kids

It has been a while since I posted any thing. Here are some pictures of the kids.

First day of School

Here are pictures of Aubrey and Isaac's first day of school. Isaac insisted that I take a picture of his Bumble Bee backpack. On his first day of school he shot out of bed and told me that this was the best day of his whole life. I hope that he stays excited about school. Aubrey loves kindergarten. In fact, today she asked if she could just call me Miss. Moody. I told her that she could keep calling me Mom.

Norway

Jeremy just got back from a trip to Norway. He was presenting a paper to the European Finance association. He said that it was beautiful. Here are some pictures.

Mowhawk or Combover?

I can't decide what is a better hair style for Nathaniel. Mohawk or comb over.

Going private

I have noticed that some of my favorite blogs have gone private and I can't read them. So, if you are one of those people, please add me. My gmail account is signsensation@gmail.com I will be posting summer pictures soon!

Nathaniel's Blessing

As I was going through pictures I realized that I never posted pictures of Nathaniel's blessing. It was a beautiful day and we are grateful for our families for being there. Jeremy gave our sweet Nathaniel a beautiful blessing. Nathaniel has been a joy to have in our family.

California, Here we come baby!

Isaac and Aubrey said this for a week before we went and then a week after we got home. Two weeks ago, Jeremy's youngest brother got married in the Oakland temple. He married a wonderful girl and we were grateful to be there. Here are some of the highlights:




Lombard Street in a 12 passenger Van. We didn't even damage the van.(I didn't take this picture. I was in the back of the van)


Seeing the Golden Gate bridge, absolutely amazing.

The carousel at pier 39. The Oakland temple. Can you believe that we got all five of us looking at the camera?
Jeremy and Aubrey dancing at the reception
Nathaniel got to bond with his new cousin Ben.

The down side: Traveling home with one baby who had thrush, one case of the stomach flu (displayed three times on the airplane), and one sore throat with a fever(Aubrey said it felt like the bones were coming out of her neck, but I think that it was a sore throat).

Preschool Graduation

Aubrey had preschool graduation on Wednesday. I have to admit that I was the mom in the back of the classroom crying. I can't believe that she is going to be in kindergarten. Here are some pictures of it.

He's Here

Nathaniel Andrews Page was born on Wednesday April 8th. I went in to the hospital at 6:00 am to be induced and he was born at 2:00 pm. He was 8 lbs and 12 ounces. I took him to the doctors today and he is already 9lbs 4 ounces. He is a sweet, happy baby that sleeps well. Aubrey and Isaac have adjusted well to him. Aubrey wants to hold him all of the time. I found Isaac reading his airplane book to him the other day. We can't imagine what life would be like with out him.

Rodeo

My parents were in town last week and we went to the rodeo. The kids had so much fun. There were pig races, motorcycle stunts, cow milking, a petting zoo, and a gun show.

Update

I love how everyone feels like they need to make comments on the size of your stomach when you are pregnant. As if I already don't feel extremely large. My favorite so far was about 2 weeks ago when a lady said, "When were you due, Yesterday?" No still 3 more weeks. So, I am feeling quite large now. I have about a week to go (hopefully a little sooner). We will keep you updated with his arrival.

BCGs

When Jeremy was going through basic training a long time ago they issued him these stylish glasses. They are called BCG which stands for birth control glasses. The military figures that when wearing these no one will be attracted to you. The kids thought that they were pretty cool and wanted to wear them all day.

I can't believe that he is 3

Isaac had a birthday a couple of weeks ago. He was so excited about it. Every day for about 2 weeks he would wake up and ask me if it was his birthday. Here are some pictures.

The Wikini

The other day on the way to preschool I had this conversation with Aubrey and Isaac
Aubrey: Mom, what are those swim suites that show your tummy?
Mom: Bikinis
Aubrey: Can I get a Wikini to play dress-up in at home
Mom: No. We are not going to buy any bikinis
Isaac: Mom, can I get a wikini for Optimu Prime?
Mom: No, Optimus prime does not need a bikini.

Air Force Bowl Game

On New Years Eve we drove up to Fort Worth to watch Air Force play in the bowl game. It was a disappointing ending, but we still had fun. We were able to see my Aunt and Uncle, our good friends the Schellhous' and the Johnson's. Aubrey thought that the best part was the cheerleaders. She got to meet them and get their autographs. Isaac liked the football players. Here are some pictures of the game. Notice Aubrey's fingers? She thinks that the "Hook em horns" is a common used symbol by all cheerleaders.

Yes...we are still alive

I keep telling myself that I am going to do a better job of blogging after I am over my morning sickness or after I have the primary program written, or after I have everything done with my calling. Well, all of these excuses have come and gone and I am still doing a terrible job at blogging. So, the truth be know...I am not a very good blogger.

So, with that said I thought that I would keep you updated from the past 2 months. We stayed here for Thanksgiving and Jeremy's parents came into town. It was really fun to have them here. I especially loved the fact that I hardly had to cook for Thanksgiving.

We celebrate another Christmas in Texas. We went to our friends house to have dinner and act out the birth of Jesus. I got to be Mary this year thanks to my ever increasing stomach size. We have kept with the tradition of "Christmas Performances." In Jeremy's family you have to play or sing a Christmas song to "earn" a present on Christmas eve. Aubrey was disappointed that there was no stage.

Here are some pictures of our Christmas. If you are wondering Aubrey is sporting a lovely black eye that she kept for 4 weeks. Just when the first one went away she fell again and got another one. I am sure that people thought that I was a terrible mom.
