Baby Bump, Tile & Toddler Bed

Time seems to be flying by so fast! Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks along!! Sometimes when I think about having two kids...my head hurts. No not really, I couldn't be more excited to be the mother of two little girls! :) We are all getting more and more excited for little sis' to arrive!
Baby "Bump" ~ 32 weeks
We love projects around here! When I say "love" I mean that there always seems to be an endless supply of them to do. Here is our most recent project (the one that kept us up till 2 a.m. last night)!! 
We have been wanting to transform this empty room downstairs into a little laundry room/kitchenette area. So a week or two ago we finally decided to start laying the tile!
Here are the before & after's...
Laying the first tiles...
Azuree loves helping her daddy! :)
If you ever tile, make sure to sit down and decide exactly how you want it to be laid *before you start tiling! I don't know if you can even tell, but part way through tiling we decided to change how we were going to do the outer border tiles. Luckily we hadn't laid very many and pulling them up wasn't too hard...
Before grouting...
And after!
Oh my goodness, seeing it all done gives me warm fuzzies! My wonderful husband did such an amazing job! He worked so hard on this for hours and hours and I know that he is *thrilled to have it finished as well :) Now we get to work on finishing the walls and cupboards! I can't wait till it's all completely finished...
And I don't remember if I ever posted about our bathroom tiling project...so if I did sorry, but here are the pics again. And even though it doesn't look like it in the pics, I did most of the tiling in the bathroom :)
 We finished this project in...I think December...
 Here is another one of my most recent projects. With the new baby coming we thought it was a good time to get Azuree settled in her new room with...a big girl toddler bed!  Yes, she is now sleeping in a TODDLER BED! (The crib can't be occupied when little sis' get's here, right?) Azuree is growing up so fast, I can't believe it! And it only took us about a week of trying before she was sleeping through the night in her new bed. I was very surprised that she adjusted as well as she did. Except I still have to put her in the crib if I want her to ever take a nap during the day...which she has decided that she's not going to take daily naps anymore anyways, so usually I just put her in the crib for quiet time *hoping that she'll fall asleep.
Here's her new room before...
And after a little paint.
Obviously the room is nowhere near finished yet. I still need to figure out what I'm going to put on the walls and all that fun stuff. :)
 And, of course, she is still adjusting and every now and then we find her like this... :)
 Random pic of Cub after playing in the snow :)
 Azuree and I went sledding with Uncle Christian and Aunt Melanie! Azuree had fun the fist time she went down the hill but then she got so cold that she didn't want to do it anymore. But it was fun while she lasted :)
Our good friend Aaron came down to spend a weekend! We went bowling and had loads of fun hanging out with him :)
 Sorry about the angle of this pic. Standing up takes so much effort these days ;)
 Yes, my belly is bigger than a bowling ball!
Boxes...gotta love em :)
 
 My two most favorite people in the entire world! I love them so much!
Until next time...ADIOS!

Christmas Time

Wow...I have a lot of pictures that I want to post from this holiday season! It's just so hard to pick which one's I like the best...so I'm sorry but there will be a LOT of pic's in this post :)
First, here's a few random pic's that I just love...
 This was taken before the snow fell and all the flowers died. Can you see the flower in Azuree's hair? Azuree has an obsession with flowers. She loves them!
 Just a cute pic :)
 Grandpa Sanders was taking a look at our fridge door and Azuree wanted to help :)
 Here's Azuree sporting her usual "up-do" :)
Azuree in her Christmas dress from Grandma Call...
 The very last minute Christmas card snapshot...
We went to the Shaw Christmas party and we had a blast!
We didn't get a picture of Azuree on Santa's lap but we did get a video. All she did was stare at him! We thought for sure she was going to cry, but surprisingly she didn't.
Azuree the little angel :)
Cousin Connor and Azuree!

We were able so spend Christmas this year at my parents house in Moab and it was such a blast! There's just something about being at your old home for the holidays. I just love it :)
Grandma Call threw a tea party for her and her granddaughters! I think the little girls (and Grandma) has so much fun! My mom made cute little aprons for all the little girls and then they made their fancy hats to wear to the tea party. Then they had lot's of fun little snacks like juice, crackers, strawberries and finger sandwiches. They were in heaven :)
Azuree is "folding her arms" for the blessing in this pic :)
Santa Claus came and visited Grandma Call's house too!...this was the reaction he got from Azuree this time. Maybe next year she and he will be on better terms :)
She liked the treats that Santa brought tho!

Grandma Call made everyone matching PJ's too! She really kept herself busy this year!
The entire Call clan! 
(Minus Elder Garrison who is in Mexico right now. We sure missed him this year)
On Christmas Eve it snowed almost all day in Moab! It was so beautiful!
Azuree's new obsession is eating snow. She loves it!
Azuree did not appreciate it when Daddy had her ride the reindeer... (I secretly love this picture:)
Everyone sure made good use of all that snow ;)
On Christmas Eve we did a nativity.
Azuree was a sheep for the nativity this time :)
It was fun :)
Christmas morning!!! 
Azuree and I were sick on Christmas morning. Can you tell Azuree was so thrilled to be awake? :)
Waiting to go downstairs...
Azuree loved her new Kitty blanket...
And her new coloring books!
Here's Daddy's new toy :)
On our way back to Cedar. What a fun Christmas! :)
