A Nursery Castle!

Nursery is the highlight of Breelyn's week. We live fairly close to our church building so she see's it often and say's "My church, go to nursery." After a prayer in sacrament and the Amen is spoken she shouts "Nursery, yay!" But it's usually not time. Anyways, Brandon left the Ensign out this morning and Breelyn found it while eating breakfast and opened it. I was in another room but Breelyn calls "Look mommy the sacrament!" So I go in to check on her and she's pointing to the temple telling me everything she can think of about church: sacrament, go see daddy (he is usually in meetings all morning so we go meet him at church) church... Anyways I ask her what is the picture of? "A nursery castle!" she says. Haha. I flipped to the front to find a different temple and ask what it is and she says "Temple, I find the nursery castle" And she flips through the pages until she finds the Nauvoo temple. She does know the general look of the temples but I guess the Nauvoo temple looks like a good place to have nursery.

New Baby Boy Photos!

So, we got our 3-D ultrasound Pictures done today! Brandon was nice enough to give into my pleadings that I needed to see him again and couldn't wait 2 3/4ish months to see him again! The receptionist told me I waited too long and that I probably wouldn't get very good pictures. I completley ignored her. What does she know? The Ultrasound Technician said they were the best pictures she's ever gotten from a baby. Hmph. That's my boy. They gave us so many pictures it made me very happy and he was very cooperative. The video is just amazing! And holding 2 1/2 quarts of water for an hour I was seriously in real pain!



I am so happy to see these photos of baby and share them with you! Here are some of my favorites!

This little guy has quite the pucker. His lower lips seems very full.

His little feet are crossed. Check out those legs!



I have a picture of each foot and there are officially 5 toes on each foot! Aren't they so cute!

The eyes kindof look scary but I love his little nose.

His little nose and lips.

I think he will look alot like Breelyn. I guess they should they are siblings. :)

He scrunched up his face alot. Oh, how we love him already!

We are so excited to meet him. Brandon and Breelyn really enjoyed the ultrasound, too. Bree would point and say "Look mom a baby, and there's a baby in mommy's tummy!" And he is still definitley a boy! Hurray for a healthy baby boy! It's crazy how long he is. Not that he is really long, he's not. Just how big babies get in general and knowing they have to come out somehow... His head was down low and his boy curved in a C with his head feet up in my left ribs. I can't believe he's that grown all ready!

Soooo many of you are having babies just within the next 4 months there are EIGHT of you (and more of you coming soon after). I think of you all often and hope you are feeling well and can't wait to see your cute babies!

Breelyn 2 Years Old!!

Breelyn's birthday was a small get together. I have no pictures. My camera was getting repaired and arrived the next day. But I do have an hour and a half of video. I had planned a monkey party but Bree is really into elephants so when she saw the monkey she said "No, mom. Elephant." So I made her a last minute fondant elephant, I think she really liked it. She received an elephant blanket two elephants and some elephant themed toys. I think ALL her b-day cards had elephants on them! She was really grumpy since we had to wake her up for the party but it was the most convenient time to get people there - after work. Bree also had a small birthday celebration the Memorial Weekend camping. We really appreciate our wonderful families for celebrating her special day with her!

(These pictures are from an accordion album for the grandparents)

We can't believe it's been two year's already! We can't get over the feelings of love we have our little girl and can't wait for our little boy to join us. We love her so much she is a very sweet little girl and is absolutely amazing! I have a post drafted on all the things she does and loves but I think I will hold it and maybe share it later. I think we will go private soon even though i'm sure there aren't that many people who look at the blog or even know we have one so there probably is nothing to worry about. :)

Too-Old!

Hurray! Breelyn Michelle Riebeek is 2 years old today! If you ask her how old she is she insists 2 old (not 2 years old)! We love her so much. I will post 2 year pics and B-day pics tomorrow with more info! We are just so excited I wanted to share!
