Final Ultrasound

Baby Berniger's Profile!

Our little girl has really tried to hide from us!! This is the best photo we could get this whole pregnancy. The ultrasound tech said she is tucked in between my placenta and uterus pretty tightly. She is smiling though :)

Her heart beat was 151 beats per minute. She weights 4 lbs 13 oz at this point. Our ultrasound tech guessed that she will weight 7 lbs 13 oz when she is born...do you have any guesses????

She is still smiling, but the picture isn't as good... We took the kids to the ultrasound yesterday. Of course Lil Adam got the most out of the experience. Addison enjoyed seeing her sister and hearing her heart beat though. As for Alex, I think he is just waiting for the big day!!

Two Stitches for the Two Year Old

Alex and Mom spent 5 hours in the Urgent Care on Monday.

This is a picture of Alex's cut without stitches....

Here is Alex's two stitches...one might think that this slowed him down a little, but no! He is still very active and playing hard :) The stitches come out next Wednesday!!

Holiday Fun

Saturday night we took our little ones back to Casa Grande for the Christmas Light Parade. We have had such a great time for the past four years we thought it would be fun to do it one more time! The kids were freezing, but they enjoyed the bands, floats and candy!!

Alex and Addison entranced by the parade!

Our new ward meets at 1:00 in the afternoon. This Sunday before church we had craft time. All three little ones had a wooden project to paint. Addison is working on her Christmas Tree and ornaments.

Adam is paining his Gingerbread Man! Alex was painting a Turkey, but he decided painting himself was a little more his style :) He had been taken to the bath by the time these photos were taken!!!

Finished Masterpieces!!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Our little ones decorated our Christmas tree this year! Using homemade and non breakable ornaments of course!! Funny how they continue to adjust their work on a daily basis. Our tree goes through changes each day which the kids think is fun and it allows all the ornaments to have their time to shine :)

Cheese!!

Thanksgiving Jobs!!

Our family moved the weekend before Thanksgiving!!!! Uncle Jared & Nanee helped Dad set up the swing-set on Thanksgiving morning. Our little ones have enjoyed playing on something old in their new backyard! We have neighbors that have a swing set too so the kids climb up and play across the yard together.

Each little one received their own jobs for Thanksgiving this year. Addison's job was cutting the cranberry sauce. She had a great time and the sauce tasted great!

Lil Adam's job was buttering the rolls as they came out of the oven. The first tray went very smoothly, but on the second batch he accidentally grabbed the cookie sheet and burned his finger.

Aunt Ashley is a wonderful artist, she indulged me this year by painting faces on three wooden reindeer for me. They were each very different and beautiful.

Thanksgiving 2009

Our Thanksgiving Table was full of family and good food this year!

Adam carving our turkey...YUMMY!!

Addison noticed that Uncle Jared was enjoying his turkey leg so she wanted to give it a try!!

We had lots of treats! Jared and Ashely made their Top Secret apple pie and we had the usual pecan, pumpkin and praline pumpkin pudding.

Candied Yams, Yummy in my tummy :)
