I'm a little behind on my blogging, (obviously!) but we had a crazy few weeks, starting with the weekend of November 20th, which was our 10 year Anniversary! Dustin wisked me away, to Salt Lake, where we spent 2 blissful, kid-free nights at the Marriot. We had so much fun being together and talking with no interruptions ( "mommy I need more chocolate milk" and "can you start Diego?" and "can you tie this string to Lightnin' so he can pull Mater?" is usually what we are listening to at our house). We saw New Moon on opening day with all the rest of the screaming idiots, although NOT at midnight this time. I loved it. Although it's really not right that Jacob is hotter than Edward. Oh well.
We got all of our Christmas shopping done, including a big present for me: the 27" iMac I've been lusting after for so long. (No, that's not the big news. Keep reading...) It's not true what they say about money not buying happiness. This computer is such a joy! Thank you so much Dustin, you spoil me so much! Love you! Also, thanks so much to Grandma Josie and Grandpa Jay for babysitting, you're the best!
The next weekend was Thanksgiving, so we were on the road again, headed to Smithfield for Chambers Thanksgiving. We are getting big with quite a few active kiddos, so we went the church route this year. It was so perfect, the kids ran and played and didn't break anything.
Quite the Feast!
Hudson and Kade, little buddies.
Kennedy with her placemat, the kids worked on them while we finished up the food.
The best part about having the church? The multiple games of Lightning (Dustin was the champ) and Volleyball. So fun!
Here are all the Chambers Grandkids with Grandma Marcia.
See why we need a church?
My favorite part of this weekend was telling the family that there would be one more little one around next Thanksgiving.
That's right, I'm pregnant!
As of today (Dec 18) I'm 13 weeks along. My due date is June 22, 2010.
We couldn't be more excited, and thankful!
(I'm also feeling pretty yucky...but getting better, I think, so bear with me on the slow blog updates...)
We can't wait for another Chambers to join the family. Congratulations!!!! Hopefully you will start to feel better soon. Happy holidays.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!! We are so excited for you guys :)
ReplyDeleteHEY!!! First of all, LOVED the Christmas card. Your kids looked darling and loved the lay-out. How you are so dang talented? It's sickening really:) Also, are you going to be down on the wasatch front for Christmas? Could we maybe go to dinner or lunch on Saturday the 26th? In between all the family parties?:) We would love to see you. Give us a ring. I think Dustin has Andrew's phone number...If not, e-mail me vernaltavaci@gmail.com and we'll figure something out!
