Freezing Cold Weather

I was quickly reminded last Friday why I live in Vegas...it is too cold in Utah in the winter. We stopped in Fillmore LATE Friday night to make a gas and potty stop and the temperature was 31 degrees!! Samantha got out of the van and said "it's too cold here lets go home." Little did she know that the cold would continue all week long!! Jeff calls me a wimp but I have been freezing cold the entire time we have been here.

Samantha and Andrea got to go outside in their first snow storm. I think that it was the first time that Andrea has even seen snow. I think the only reason they really know what it is can be attributed to the fact they love the show Max and Ruby and there have been a few snow episodes!!

In addition to the snow we have also been able to go to the zoo. Samantha was able to see a cougar up close and personal (about two feet away) so she did the BYU Cougar cheer for it!! We also saw a baby giraffe, elephants, and black bears that were playing peek-a-boo among other things. Sammy and Andrea have had fun playing with their cousins. Joey loves to follow Andrea around and treat her like she is a little baby (he is six months older and two inches taller)! I have loved the fact that I haven't had to do any cooking all week!! I am eight weeks pregnant and throwing up at least once a day...I keep trying to remind myself that I really want another baby right now. I feel like crap 90% of the time right now. I can't wait for the first trimester to be over so I can feel better.

Tomorrow Chris goes through the temple so we are really excited about that. I hope that I can make it through the session without getting sick! Sammy and Andrea are also going to be at a babysitter for longer than they have ever been left before so we hope they do good. It should be really interesting because our friends are watching them and they are going to have their whole family over for an Easter Egg hunt.....it will be interesting to see how they react to so many people they don't really know...especially the men!! We'll see! I have to go lay down before I throw up.

Sammy's Cough

Sammy has had a cough for two days now. She coughed all day yesterday, all last night, and some of the day today. I thought she was getting better today but the cough started again around 3:00. Hopefully, she will sleep better tonight. It was a LONG night last night with her coughing all night. I don't think Andrea slept very well last night either because she took a really long nap this afternoon!

Here's to hoping for a better tomorrow!!

Funny Girls

This morning Jeff and I were listening to the girls play in their room through the baby monitor. Samantha said, "When I say go you get the bunny. When I say stop you get this. Do you understand the directions? Are you ready to play?" We were just laughing. I don't really think that Andrea was playing but their door was shut so I don't know what she was doing.

Speaking of Andrea, she is starting to get an attitude! Her new thing is to say "get away me" meaning get away from me! We can slowly tell she is getting closer and closer to being two.
