February 14

   Actually Valentines day. Super busy and still very pregnant. ;) I wanted Kristofer to have a great valentines, so I blew up some red, pink, and white balloons and had Alyvia delivery them to her daddy at work. ;)






Then we went and picked up Kinzley from her preschool valentines party and went to visit Evie, G'ma Rose and G'ma Hansen.

 We made a stop at Applebee's for lunch and a quick photo shoot. ;)

Holidays are just so much fun around our house! Since V-day was on a Tuesday we decided to have a huge FHE (family home evening) Monday night dinner. It was all red themed. We had bbq pork ribs, red potatoes, cranberry, strawberry, spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette.  And to drink we had Cherry 7 up and dessert was cherry cupcakes. It was SO much fun!! I love it!





 It's tradition: We giving valentines cards/gifts to everyone! So fun!!

Mimi gave all the grandkids the Lehi's dream book. :D

(February 7) Danielle wanted Decqlyn's one year pics and Kinzley's 3 yr old pics. So I got some new backdrops and I couldn't wait to use them! I love when I get things for my studio. It is so much fun to allow the kids to take pictures when they want to and not "have" to schedule an appointment that may or may not be on time. ; ) We had so much fun!  Can't have a photo session with those two without Alyvia!! ;)

Sassy, no?

These cousins just LOVE each other!

February.

My Birthday. It is hard getting older these days. But Kristofer made it a great celebration. We went to Branson for the weekend. My mom offered to watch Alyvia so it was just us (+ my very pregnant belly). We stayed in a bed in breakfast in Hollister (right outside of Branson). Ate at this amazing pizza place called Pizza by the Chef. YUMMY! The bed and breakfast had a jacuzzi. Super fun, but a pregnant lady must be careful of the rise of her body temp. It was super nice and quiet. We went to the wax museum, those are always fun. We met so many famous people.

Oh the fantasies ;)

FUNNY!!!!!

AWWW... BITE ME!!!! (PLEASE)

Then we went mini golfing... I totally beat his trash!!


I totally forgot how much fun mini golf can be. Cannot wait to take Alyvia soon/ some day.

As the year began, we began renovations to our home.
January 22


We decided we needed our amazing walk in pantry usable! So we moved all that it was storing and cleaned it out! Alyvia really liked the cleaning part.


January 28
We began our long journey of renovating our hall bathroom. Has to be done by the end of April because Kristofer's family is coming to visit. ;)


Wish I had "better" horrible before pics, but at least I have these. Our hall bathroom, when we moved in, had carpet! YES carpet, ugly blue carpet! Crazy and super gross. We had to wait for our tax returns to get started on our new and improved bathroom! We haven't have a bath tub the whole time we have been here, just a shower. Alyvia is so done with showers she cannot wait to have a bath tub, me too!! It'll be jetted! SWEET!

Baby girl is growing right along! As of my last appt (Jan 11) she was 4 lbs 10 oz. My dr called her fat. ;) oh well I like them chunky!! I just hope she comes sooner than her due date. She moves constantly! I say if there isn't enough room in there; join us out here!! ;)

I am getting a little nervous with Alyvia. She is SUPER clingy and getting jealous at anyone and everyone who comes to me or whom I hold. She pushes anyone off my lap!! For example my niece, Decqlyn, is a year old. When Decqlyn was first born Alyvia didn't like me holding her but she got over it... now she flips out any time I go near Decqlyn!! and when I say flips out I mean FLIPS OUT! She has begun (well in Dec) throwing really bad temper tantrums everywhere!

Everyone keeps telling me she'll get over it and it will take time and then she realize the baby isn't going anywhere... but when? How long will I have to suffer through it? Just a little worried! Plus being a wife and holding 2 callings! humph... maybe I'm NOT ready for this little just yet. March will be here before I know it! 

Other than that I feel great!
