The problem is that I was such a big baby that we look almost the same age in these pictures. I think I am about 6-9 months in this picture and Bridget is a little over 1 in her picture.
Oh well...
P.S. What about Lucas?
That's what I thought!
People tell me that Bridget looks like Liz or Stephanie but I have the picture that proves that she looks like me! What do you think?

Florida part 2
I think I am finished with all of my pictures and here are the last of the highlights....
Most of these were on our second beach day but I couldn't pick just one! My kids had a great time with my cousins and theirs! They were mad we had to leave. I guess next summer when we go to California we will have to make sure and spend a day at the beach!
I told Bridget we were going to go outside and see the ocean and this was her face.
I love this guy
Bridget admiring Aiden
Nathan teaching the kids the rules of the beach.
Loving the sand
Enjoying the 74 degree ocean
Nathan fulfulling a life long dream to be in the Atlantic Ocean. Long story...
I had to include this one because it is just proof that my kids LOVE Grandma and Grandpa
(Lucas especially)
We had a great trip and hope to do it again soon. I love my parents and am so glad they helped us get there! :) Can't wait to see them again in April! Yea!!!

Ode to the Third Trimester
Ode to The Last Trimester
Oh, first of Trimesters I remember it well
Nausea crept its way in As she began to swell
The cravings of food None of which seem to mix
Like pickles and ice cream With a serving of Twix
The second trimester “Do I look pregnant yet?'”
The question we husbands Pray that we never get
“I have nothing to wear!” But it's all truth this time
As she thanks God aloud For elastic waist lines
But Oh third Trimester Moods change like the seasons
She pees when she sneezes Tears come for no reason
Her stretch marks are forming And her feet disappear
But this time it's OK She has reason for tears
PUPPPs again begin forming Oh the itch with no end
With all the discomfort Why'd we have one again?
She recalls the answer Asking “Why in the world?”
When the pain goes away And she's handed her girl

I am grateful that with 90 days and only 11+ weeks to go I am still feeling great, no nausea, no sickness, no pain, nothing really, just this baby girl is sitting really high like the last two and only really kicks hard at night. I haven't had any strange cravings and I have only cheated once with Sushi! :P I am not swelling and haven't had any weird things happen to me since the beginning. I have a ton of baby hair like I did with Bridget growing on my head but nothing to complain about. I did complain that I was huge earlier but with the other 6 women due in March with me in my ward, I look just as pregnant as them, which is a good thing considering this is my 3rd and the rest of them are on their 1st! :) The best part about being due in March right now is that this baby girl will have 6 other little girls to play with who all were born in the same month. Another good thing is that flu season will be over, the cold weather will be on it's way out and Spring will be here in no time!
I am also grateful that my husband is so sweet and will call me in the middle of the day just to make sure I'm okay, not the kids, not the pregnancy just me. I love it! :)

Florida part 1
I have a lot of people asking me for more pictures, but I took 796 pictures while we were there, so I will have to do two or more posts to really highlight how much fun we really had. Here is the first part of our trip...
The view from our room. Gorgeous right? We had 6 huge windows and this was just one of our beautiful views.
One of Lucas's favorite parts of the trip...GRANDPA!
I took this picture so you could see the awesomeness of the interior of the Boca Resort...just lovely right?
The kids when they first saw GiGi (my grandma their greatgrandma)
The main reason for this trip!
My grandma's reaction to them. Isn't she so young looking for having 2.6 great grand kids?
Swimming. This was one of the places the kids always wanted to go.
More swimming and lounging.
The kids waiting for their lemonades.
A weird photo of us.... Look out for more pics of this trip....
(please feel free to feel bad for us as most of our trip was 70 degrees or higher in temps with little to no humidity!)

Happenings
Lucas
Me and my Dad on Italian night (looks like he doesn't wear his hat when the sun is shining! :)
Another really weird thing is that I have been looking barely pregnant for the past few months and we went swimming and when it was time to get dressed that night my belly popped right out. I went from looking 4 months pregnant to 7 months pregnant in only a few hours! It must be all of the great food I have been eating! (look at my header I look GIANT!)
I was determined to keep the kids on Colorado time while we were here. I was so successful that at 2:30pm Florida time 12:30 Colorado time the kids would just instantly fall asleep no matter where they were. Bridget fell asleep at lunch, Lucas fell asleep while he was painting it was great. It also worked out well because they would wake up at 5:30 and dinner was at 6 and we would put them to bed at 10:30 which is actually 8:30pm. This made our trip extra nice because they were so used to my schedule it was nice to be able to nap ourselves or go out to lunch or hang out with the family because they were so on schedule. High Five to me! :) Just Kidding! 
Me and my Sista and "The Bridge" on Italian night
Me and my Sista and "The Bridge" on Italian nightStrange things with the kids:
Bridget
*cut four top teeth*weaned herself off a bottle
*enjoys the attention she has been getting
*expects applause when she is naughty
*started really talking this tripLucas
*pretty much potty trained himself fully
*started saying weird things like "this Gouda is delicious" "I prefer croissants" "my cousins are my friends too" "Calamari is yummy" "Peas are only for squishing" "Jellyfish give you owies if you have yellow hair" (Aiden my cousin was stung by one at the each a few days ago) "I think I like the beach too much mommy" "My doctor telled me to keep this hat on when the sun is shining" "We made it to the jungle!" "Where is Diego? He lives in the jungle" There are lots more but these are the ones I like the best.

Sunshiny Day
I know you all have been DYING to see pictures for our awesome Florida trip but we forgot the cord to the camera, scratch that...NATHAN forgot the cord to the camera. Mmmhmmm that's right it was him! Anyway I managed to get one on to the laptop so here is one of Grandma, Bridget and Lucas on the beach. It was so beautiful - 78 degree high - low humidity and a slight breeze. It was almost not real. What really made our day was hearing that Colorado got 4 inches of snow that very day!
My Uncle and my cousin (his son) went para sailing and we could see him from where we were swimming! We ate a delicious Chinese dinner with the whole fam and I feel so lucky to have been able to be apart of this momentous event. I promise more pictures to come. When I get home and can properly log this awesome VACATION.

Quotes
After a crazy, hellish, and fun first few days here Lucas said to me:
"What is dis mommy?" I said a Palm Tree, these are the trees that grow here in Florida. He says "They are spiky and so sharp mommy" I said yes, not like the trees in Colorado. He replied "Not crunchy? That is so sad, I'n gonna tell Robert 'bout dis!"
I laughed and laughed. Robert is one of Lucas's friends at church, and I think it is funny that he felt he needed to report this leaf problem to his friend. Haha
One more cute little quote/story: When we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean Lucas shouts "Pirate Ships Daddy!" "Not the piggy kind!" He loves the Dora Pirate game on NickJr.com. Haha
Tomorrow everyone is getting together and I will have lots of pictures from that. So far this has been a pretty good trip! :)
