But where are the children?!?!?!?!

Here is Angie and I having a great kid free time. My ward was having this craft night and we just got to make the most wonderful things! Both of our creative minds were overdosing on cuteness and we just couldn't get enough of all the cute things they had for us to do. There were cupcake advent calendars, photo frames, hair clips, all sorts of goodies. I'm way sad because I've got so much I want to do but at the end of this month when baby girl is here I am going to be lucky if I can find time to shower. Sigh... but we did manage to make some lovely menu boards and we got the jist of all the other projects so we can do them on our own later.

Here are some of the crafts that we didn't get a chance to make but we got the idea and the jist of how to do it later.

Not suprisingly Jude just loves my tummy. It's big, round, and squishy, 3 things that make for a great kids toy. We have been telling him that there is a little sister in there and if we ask him where the baby is he will come and lift my shirt and start poking my belly. I'm 36 weeks in this picture so only 4 more weeks to go. Can't believe time has gone so fast.

Angie, Derek and I decided we needed to pick up some supplies so we headed on over to the store. We strapped all the kids into this monstrosity of a cart and off we went. There was a little lay over at the bathrooms and we decided to entertain the kids by letting them try on glasses. They were all so funny and such "cool dudes." They were enjoying their glasses so much that when it came time to give them up we had a bit of a fight on our hands.

Here is my Jude man trying on a bike helmet. For some reason this was also "super cool" because it was another fight when it came time to put it back. But he will get a helmet of his own soon enough. My next big purchase is going to be a bike and one of those little mesh carriages. I had so much fun in them as a kid and as soon as baby girl gets strong enough to hold herself up I'm getting one and off we go. Ivins is covered in bike trails and it's a shame we aren't enjoying them.

Jude is so cute! So today I started cleaning the house, deep cleaning. I cleaned out the laundry room, sorted through clothes, vacuumed window screens, toothbrushed floor boards, wiped down doorknobs and light switches, everything. Well I was cleaning the doors and door knobs and Jude came over and started helping me. It was so cute and I was just beside myself that he wanted to do what his mom was doing, even if it wasn't very much fun. I love my little man!

It's been to long since I have posted a funny faced messy eater baby pictures. It was cottage cheese and oranges and he just made sure to get it everywhere his arms would reach.

On Sunday mornings i will go to LDS.org and go to their video library and play diffrent shorts and talks that we can listen to while we get ready for church. Well this Sunday I saw a link saying that the church was looking for actors and extras to be in an upcoming church film about old testament stories. They were asking for people from seasoned performers down to people who had never acted a day in their lives so I thought what the hey, it might be fun and I sent in Headshots and profile shots for Derek and I. We will hear back from them in about a month and if they do want us filming will be up in salt Lake in Spring 2011. We might not be able to do it what with school and 2 kids but who knows how accomadating they will or wont be unless we apply. I'm hoping that since we are only applying to be extras, and since it's probably going to be a low budget film that we will only be up in Salt Lake for like a week. That wont be to hard to figure out, but whatever will be will be.

My baby boy is getting so sneaky and crafty. He has figured out how to climb on everything, open cabinets and pantries,but now nothing is safe. Because my Jude man has figured out how to open doors. I was on the computer and I hear the front door open and close really quickly. I turn around and Jude is standing there, I thought that perhaps I had imagined it. Later on in the day I was in the bathroom all bymyself and then i wasn't. Jude just opened the door and walked in. This is going to be fun, but thank goodness most of our doors have locks. Although I'm sure Jude will figure those out before to long too. Also this video has a one of Judes new cute words. He loves to copy us after prayer or scriptures and says "AMEN" but he drags it out and says it in a southern drawl. It's so funny and cute and he is so proud of himself when he says it. Cute man.
