It's a.......GIRL!!!

Isn't she cute? We think so! She has Drake's little turned up nose. She was pretty shy and didn't give us a great shot, but the ultrasound technician was positive it was a girl and could see all of the parts. All I could see was that there were absolutely NO boy parts there! I think you can tell a lot about kids personalities from their ultrasounds and their birth. It was that way with Drake for sure!! With this one, she seems to be pretty high maintenance. She didn't want to cooperate at first, and then once we got her to start moving around, she didn't stop. There was one part of the ultrasound where she was waving at us. She had her fingers and hand just a going! It was so cute, and if we could hear her talk she would have been saying...."Hi Mom, Hi Dad... beware, I have a lot of personality, and I am going to cost you a lot of money Daddy!" We can't wait to see our little princess!

Thanksgiving 2011

We celebrated Thanksgiving in Haliey, Idaho with Josh's family. We drove up to Pocatello on Wednesday night and then drove Thursday to Hailey. It was a lot of fun. All of Josh's family on his Mom's side was there. There were a lot of kids for Drake to play with. He loved it. We had a great dinner and enjoyed spending time with each other.

Drake's Mickey Mouse Birthday Party

Drake is obsessed with Mickey Mouse. So, it made sense to do a Mickey Mouse party for his 2 year old birthday party. We didn't go all out like we did for his 1st birthday, but we still had some fun.

Drake loved opening presents. When he opened one, he just wanted to play with it, he didn't even care that there were more presents to be opened.

See, what I mean. Didn't want to take pictures, just wanted to play with his new toys!

When Drake was done opening presents we told him he needed to tell everyone Thank You. Well, he did just that and then some. He went around to everyone and gave each person a hug and said thank you. It was really cute and sweet. I have pictures of him doing it to everyone, but lets be honest, no one really cares about it as much as I do!

I can't believe this kid is already 2! It is amazing how fast time goes by. He is so funny and makes us laugh every day. We are so blessed to have him in our family, and love him so much. I interviewed him and asked a few questions... here is what I got!

1. What's your favorite color? Green and Orange

2. What's your favorite toy? Cars

3. What's your favorite food? My nose

4. What's your favorite thing about Church? See friends and play toys

5. Who is your best friend? Cooper

A friend of mine took some pictures of Drake and they turned out fantastic! We got him laughing so hard that he was smiling in almost every picture.

Here are some more things that make Drake who he is...

• Hey says "Sank you" to everything
• When we pray he always wants us to bless Grandpa and Lucy (my parents dog)
• Loves us to sing him songs at bedtime and knows all of them
• Loves his Binky
• He says "BOO" to scare us and thinks it is hilarious
• Loves to jump on the "trampeen"
• Loves to play with cars, and wants anyone around to sit on the ground and play with him
• He wants a doggy
• Loves Nursery
• Loves Mickey Mouse
• Loves books and puzzles
• When you ask him what a train conductor says he says, "All Aboard!"
• When something is funny he says, "that's too funny"
• When he is hungry he says, "I too hungry"
• One night Josh and I tucked him in bed, as we were leaving the room we said "goodnight Drake" he said...."Bye Guys"!

What a funny kid. We are sure glad we have him around!
