Our Weekend With Aunt Keri!

Over Presidents Day weekend Keith's sister Keri came for a visit! We had so much fun with her! Friday she came to totnastics with Nick and to Hannah's preschool Valentines party. Afterwards we went to Towne Center for lunch and to play on the cute playground. We also got some yummy dessert at Yogurtland. Saturday we went to lunch at Cafe Rio and took the kids bowling. We had a great weekend! Thanks for making such a delicious lasagna dinner and for teaching us how to be bean farmers! Come again soon for a visit! We already miss you!

We all need a little push sometime!

(This one is for you Laurel!) I've been in a bit of a blogging funk lately. We've had a busy couple of weeks and then were sick for a week! But we are back in the swing of things now!

The weather here in Vegas has been so nice we've been doing a lot outside. Hannah has recently rediscovered her bike. She got it for her 4th birthday but fell off it shortly thereafter and was scared to ride it. Now she zips up and down our street on it! The only problem is sometimes she needs a little push to get going! Thank you Nicholas for being such a good little brother & big helper to Hannah!

A Busy Couple of Weeks!

Wow it's been a busy couple of weeks at the Nigbur house! Little cousin Jameson was born Jan. 14th! He was 7 lbs. 10 oz. He is precious & my kids absolutely adore him!

We also had Nana & Grandma Dottie come for a visit! We've been doing all kinds of fun things; going to lunch, the park, celebrating birthdays & playing together.

This weekend Uncle Steve & cousins Seth & Hailey also came for a quick visit! We went to the Utah/UNLV basketball game. All the girl cousins dressed up as cheerleaders! We wanted the Utes to win but they fell apart in the 2nd half! Oh well! We still had a great time!

Aunt Emily & cousin Emma are coming to town tomorrow! We LOVE visitors and can't wait for what's in store this upcoming week!

Happy Birthday Hannah!

Tomorrow is Hannah's birthday! She will be 5 years old! Here are 5 things we love about her...

1. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! Both inside & out! She has a gorgeous smile and a beauitful, sweet spirit!

2. SHE IS SMART! Hannah has learned all of her letters at preschool. She loves to be read to and loves to write long words like butterfly & schoolbus! She is also becoming a fabulous artist and likes to draw animals, flowers & people!

3. SHE IS FUNNY! Hannah is always smiling & laughing. She loves to tell jokes. Her new favorite is Q: "What did the boy octopus say to the girl octopus?" A: "I want to hold your hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand!"

4. SHE HAS A GREAT IMMAGINATION! She loves to dress up and play pretend. She always imagines she is someone else; a kitty, the mom, Gabriella from HSM, a princess or whatever!

5. SHE IS A FABULOUS SISTER & FRIEND! Nicholas idolizes her and tries to be just like she is! She makes friends easily and can play with anyone!

Our family wouldn't be the same without Hannah Banana! We love you! Happy Birthday!

It's officially a........

BOY!!! We had our "official" ultrasound today and a baby boy will be joining our family sometime late in May! We had an ultrasound done at 14 weeks and the Dr. said he was 90% sure it was a boy then but we wanted 100%! We are super exicted! Nicholas will love having a brother so close and the clothes & seasons will work out perfectly!
Here's a pic of our precious peanut!

Merry Christmas in Utah!

We went to spend Christmas this year with our families in Utah! Boy have I acclimated to the weather here in Vegas. It snowed HARD everyday and I found myself becoming more and more annoyed with the wet, snow and cold! But otherwise we had a very fun filled trip. We spent Christmas Eve with my family. Christmas day we spent time visiting family and eating Chinese for dinner (a new family tradition!). We also had time to visit long lost friends, see old neighbors, go sledding, see the lights at temple square, go on a carriage ride, and catch a movie. We also celebrated Christmas with Keith's family Saturday! We are really sleep deprived and were really cold. But we had tons of fun and are glad to be home!
Here are some random pics from the trip....

Hannah's Christmas Tap Recital

Hannah had her Christmas tap recital Saturday! She did just a fabulous job! What a good little dancer! We are so proud of you Hannah! Way to go!

Here Comes Santa Claus...

There are so many fun things to post at Christmas time! I am a blogging fool!

We took the kids to see Santa at the mall today. We waited in line for 90 minutes but it was worth it! They were so excited to sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas. (Hannah anything Barbie and Nick anything Diego!) They also smiled so sweet for the camera! Next year we'll remember to go earlier when it isn't so busy. But these cute smiles were worth the wait! :)
Last night we also went to the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory with our good friends the Beisners. We had some yummy hot chocolate and walked through their lighted Cactus Garden! (only in Vegas baby!) I don't know if the kids had more fun seeing the lights or running around with Luke & Hailey!

It's been a fun and busy Christmas season! We can't wait to do even more!

Vegas Snow!

So 8:00 Tuesday morning it started to snow here. Hannah was so excited but we told her not to get her hopes up...it wouldn't stick! 6 hours later it was still snowing and there was a few inches on the ground! My kids were ecstatic! We played outside for hours, making a snowman, snow angels and eating a ton of the good white stuff! I think I must have dressed & undressed my kids 10 times. We made way to much hot chocolate and had a complete blast! Anyways it wasn't exactly Utah snow but we'll take whatever we can get! We hope it snows again on Wednesday!

Do you like Nick's pink boots? (Hannah's from last year!) Poor boy!
