Ice Fishing

Kalleigh got her first real ice fishing experience on Saturday. She left the house with Dad around 8:30 and we didn't see the whites of her eyes until about 4:30. From what I understand about the trip "She" caught all of the fish, however Dad tells another story... So much for trying to help your daughter experience the trill of the catch!! She is a little ego maniac and was telling everyone at church that she caught 30 fish, and her Dad caught none! I guess everyone has the desire to embellish their fish stories! 5 year old girls are not exempt!! They had a fantasic adventure and were joined by Grandpa Carr, Dylan, Casey, Uncle Kelly... which made for 2 really full fish houses!! Kalleigh had a blast and I only hope that Wes isn't too frustrated with her to take her again!!

It's Official!

The Carr Family Grows to 5~ Our family must have a thing with July Babies! Baby number three will be added this summer. :) We are all very excited!! We can't wait to meet the newest member of our family. Kalleigh is beyond excited... She can't wait for the baby to come so she can help feed and bathe the baby. I am sure she will be the world best helper... Abigail on the other hand will be the one to take a permanent marker to the baby and make it beautiful! My that girl is good at making a mess out of her body with markers, mascara and basically whatever she can find lying around that mom hasn't put away. Usually the end result is nothing short of fabulous, however it does require some elbow grease in it's removal!!

We are so thankful for our family and excited to watch it grow! I am officially 11 weeks pregnant and am scheduled for my first doctor's appointment this Friday, which is our last day of school before xmas break.

Hot Tubbin'

The girls LOVE to go Hot Tubbin'... They beg Weston to take them swimming every night--They don't get to go as often as they like- but they do enjoy every minute of their swimming adventures...Abigail MUST wear floaties becasue that little rascal has NO FEAR... She will jump into the pool without a care in the world and when she comes up for air. she is giggling like mad. She is quite the little water bug! I am amazed how fearless she is when it comes to anything that involves jumping, being crazy and wild! When we invested in the hot tub a year ago- we were not quite sure how much we would use it... I think we have seen the benefits the hot tub can bring-even if I am unable to undulge for a few more months...Good bonding time for Wes and the girls!~

Visiting with Santa

What is Christmas without a visit from the old guy in a red suit? The girls got a chance to visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus in Russell at the ECFE Family Fun Night. Crafts, games and frosting cookies...Life doesn't get much better than those Christmas Delights!
As the xmas season draws nearer, plans are being made for xmas eve, flying in the big airplane, trying to figure out what the weather will be like in Phoenix in a few weeks...I think Abigail is the most excited out of everyone... Every day she asks if it is time to fly on the big airplane... She thinks it is an everyday occurance and she is excited to fly once again back to 'Zona! Kalleigh is just waiting to spend countless hours with her Tan Tan! (Grethe). Today Wes and Kalleigh took off ice fishing. Poor Abigail had to stay home with mom... What a bummer....Life is not fair!!
