Surfacing

I am back! Our lives have been filled with a lot of change and excitement over the past 2 months. A few of the best highlights are:

• We are going to have another baby join our family around July 27, 2010
• We spent an amazing holiday with family
• We visited the Rabner fam in Utah (and had real Cafe Rio!)
• We are all healthy and happy
• I have only 6 months of work left!
• Alexandra is learning and growing more each day
• Anthony still loves his job
• We have been blessed beyond measure and are amazed by the love the Lord has for us

Here are a whole bunch of pictures from our adventures!

Sledding behind the four wheeler on Nana and Papa's street. Liam loved driving with Uncle Ben.
I had a bowl of mashed potatoes on the counter and Alexandra just kept eating spoonful after spoonful, just like her mom.

Dad and Mugs being silly.

Ben with his short hair.

A typical Megan pic...so hott!

Ali and Liam eating ice cream cones from Papa in their rocking chairs.

Nana loved getting the babies ready for bed and snuggling with them while watching a movie.

Alexandra's first sledding experience was really fun. She didn't complain too much about the cold and braved the big hill.

OfOf course we had to go to Temple Square to see the lights. I love that place!

Me and Mugs...it is so weird, I look just like my Mom!

All the Rabner girls (except Shellie and Bells...we missed you!)

Liam, Lyra and Ali - poor Lyra looks totally freaked out.

Nana, Papa and the kiddos after Lyra's blessing.

Alexandra zonked on the floor after a crazy day.

Here is Alexandra eyeing up all of the presents.

The Popes!

Ali loved baby Ly...baby Ly didn't love Ali as much.

Here are the kiddos and Megan making cupcakes.

Christmas round 1 with the Booths. McKenzie, Hayden and Ali

Lots of new girlie toys.

Ready, set, go!

Here's the yummy white chocolate raspberry cheesecake I made for a party...mmmmm!

Here is the Boo tromping in the snow.

Wendi and I did our massive Christmas baking again. Everything turned out super taste.

Anthony, Ali and I went down to the city to see the Christmas displays. Here is Alexandra trying sushi for the first time.

Here we are in front of the big tree downtown.

Alexandra and Liam spent half of their time sliding down the stairs. They both ended up with rug burn in a few very uncomfortable places.
