Disney on Ice and Tundra Lodge

Warning... tons of pictures, tried to only post some but hard to pick! We had a fantastic weekend going to see Disney on Ice, Mickey & Minnie's Magical Adventure and staying at the Tundra Lodge in Green Bay with Grandma & Grandpa M.


The girls got some pretty cool gifts and we had awesome front row seats for the show.


The girls had some looks of awe on their faces the whole time, so much fun.


Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald & Goofy hosted the show. We also saw parts from the Lion King, the Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch, and Peter Pan.

It was such a nice, relaxing weekend.. wish it was longer!

Playing in the snow

Daddy was home yesterday since his work was cancelled due to too much snow by the lake, so the girls had lots of fun making a snow fort with him! Taylor could've literally stayed outside until dark I think. She was out there a long time. Hailey came in after a little while, then she saw Taylor having too much fun so she decided to go back out.

Hailey wanted to rake the snow :) She was picking up clumps and throwing them at Daddy with her rake. Taylor was piling "snow rocks" on top of the fort.

Two cuties in a half-made fort.

Taylor was trying to bury herself in the snow, and Hailey was drawing pictures with a stick!

I had my 31 week dr appointment yesterday and everything is looking good. Heartbeat was 152 bpm and baby is back to head down! I am still measuring 2 weeks ahead so we will probably be checking on baby's size around 38 weeks if I get there. Dr says your uterine ligaments and whatnot are a lot looser with baby #3 and probably while I'm feeling so many contractions and baby's every move. I go back in 2 weeks!

Some more sledding pics & update

Daddy & Grandpa P went sledding with the girls on Sunday afternoon on a bigger hill in New London. Taylor had lots of fun but Hailey was not in the mood for sledding!


Hailey's one and only time down the hill that day.

Taylor was pooped after climbing up the hill a few times so she rode up on the sled the last couple times. In the picture below you can see her on the orange sled pulled by Daddy.

Otherwise this little cutie didn't want to leave my side.. she was scared of the big hill.

*Pregnancy update: Little boy is growing and doing good. He's packing on the fat now, so I'm glad to share some of the weight :) I went in for an unexpected dr appointment last wednesday for too many contractions with back pain. Turns out it was just false labor but I'm glad I went anyway. Better safe than sorry. This guy is much lower and this pregnancy has been so different than both of the girls.. and they were different from eachother. I'm just about 31 weeks now and go in for my regular checkup in a couple days.. then every two weeks for a couple times then every week. Crazy how fast time is flying this time! Here's my 30 week baby belly:

The girls are doing good too. Hailey is a master potty trainer and has had maybe a total of 3 bedtime wet diapers since she decided to be trained.. I still put them on her at night though and need to give it up.. just using up the ones I have! Taylor is an awesome big sister and loves helping Hailey do anything and everything. They are both very excited for their little brother to arrive! Hopefully they are still happy about it after he comes :)

Snowmobiling weekend

Sorry, no snowmobiling pictures here. The guys went snowmobiling and us girls had a slumber party at Grandma's house with Auntie Shelley too. The girls did some projects with Grandma Saturday while Shelley & I went and got pedicures.. was nice and relaxing!

Then the girls wanted pedicures when we got home :) Hailey wasn't sure about the water but she thought getting her feet rubbed and polished was pretty cool and so did Taylor!

Sunday Jeff, Shannon, Ryan, Leah & Jason Papendorf came over to Grandma & Grandpa's for the day and us girls roasted marshmellows at the dining room table :)

It was another fun, too fast weekend! 2 more days and baby and I are in the 3rd trimester! Crazy how fast time flies. I have been having lots of braxton hicks contractions and even some in my back.. my dr was worried I was having back labor already so is making me drink so much water I feel like I'm drowning sometimes.. it's working though. Blech. Guess I've been way busier this pregnancy than the last 2 cuz of all the kids and I'm not sitting at a desk most of the day like before. My next checkup is Feb 2nd then I go every 2 weeks already, yikes.

New Year at the Tundra Lodge

We rang in the New Year at the Tundra Lodge in Green Bay with Grandma & Grandpa P and had a great time! Taylor and Daddy went down the big slide so many times, she loved it!



Hailey was happy playing in the pool and lazy river with Mommy or Grandma & Grandpa.


The girls even had fun coloring and playing games with Grandma in the hotel room.



Plus we had to play some arcade games too!

The girls loved the kiddy pool.

and we even relaxed in the hot tub a bit.

Now the girls are counting down until the next time we go back, which might be mid-Feb if we can score some nice tickets to Disney on Ice again. Happy New Year to you all!
