Catching up with friends


We have had a great time these past couple of months catching up with lots of friends that either live out of state or that we haven't seen in absolutely forever (thanks Facebook!). It has been great to catch up with our friends and hear what everyone is up to - we have the coolest friends!

Anyway above is a picture of us hanging out with Meg, Taylor, Mike, Nora and Jenni
(Evan - Jenni and Mike's little boy was napping)

Snow, snow and some very large icicles

One thing that I love about Utah is that you are pretty much guaranteed a white Christmas, on the other hand one thing I hate about Utah is that however lovely a white Christmas is, shoveling snow is never fun - and let me tell you I have had plenty of opportunities this year to find the fun in snow shoveling and have yet to find any. Anyway one happy side effect of all the snow are the absolutely freaking awesome icicles that we get on our house. They were so huge, Anna made me knock them down with a broom so that Georgie wouldn't accidentally get stabbed by one (she saw this clip of a TV show where that happened). Before I knocked them down however, I took some pics and here they are!!


December Round Up!

Once again we have been slacking with updating our blog (much to the dismay of my Mum) but one of my New Year's resolutions is to do a better job about posting, especially considering that our little girl will be along soon and we'll surely have lots of cute pics to share. Anyway - so December was a pretty busy month for us, well that's how it seemed anyway, but now I come to blog about it I can't really remember what we did!
Life is good right now and we are super excited that our baby will be born next month and that we have a whole bunch of new exciting adventures before us! I'll stop rambling and get on with the posts.

Update


Just thought it was about time for a little update on the pregnancy, life, etc...
Everything seems to be going great at the moment! The pregnancy is just fine, and as you can tell from recent pictures, both the baby and I are growing all the time. I can tell she is definitely getting bigger, because there seems to be constant, heavy pressure on my bladder and lots of squirming and kicking going on. And if I'm not mistaken, over the last few days, there seems to be a little foot that has found it's way into my ribs. Paul is very patient with me, listens to my whining and always has the right thing to say to calm me down. More than anything we're just excited to see little baby girl Leggett in about 2 months!
Other than that, my sister Tracy is getting married in about 2 weeks, so we're looking forward to a nice winter wedding to attend. Our little niece and nephews are getting big, talking, and looking cuter all the time. Cullen is quite the big boy now, and smiles and laughs every time you look at him. Maia is starting to talk more and more and now has enough hair for a ponytail! She loves legos and always wants to play toys with me. Edison can walk now and can say a few words here and there-- most notably "Dog! Dog! Dog!" whenever he sees Abish, Skiba or Georgie.
We're excited for the holidays to be here and are enjoying being around family and attending work & family parties. Up top is a picture of Paul at his work party (that I'm not invited to) drinking the hugest diet coke in history.

Christmas Decorations!












We had some requests from Paul's family in England to put up some new posts showing all of our Christmas decorations. Actually, I think they were just sick of looking at the Twilight post!
Despite all of my best attempts to change his mind, Paul made me wait until after Thanksgiving (well, the day of, actually) to put up our Christmas decorations. We love it. We all have lots of fun putting everything up, even Georgie, although I'll be honest, she doesn't help much but she does like watching.

Paul is so proud




Paul, being the adopted American that he is, enjoys new holiday discoveries every year. This year was his first ever gingerbread house creation, and he is of course extremely proud, so take a look at his handiwork.

Temple Square





So, it's been awhile since we've blogged, probably due in part to my being lazy and Paul having discovered facebook. So, apologies to all and here are some pictures at temple square with the Christmas lights!! QUICK EDIT: These pictures are thanks to Lila, who has an awesome camera(endorsed by Ashton Kutcher)
