What we've been up...

 Kali has been potty training and well what an adventure! 
 These two really are best friends!  I hope that they can always be friends even though they might not see eye to eye. 


 Last Saturday Mommy was going crazy trying to get a little certain someone to come but after walking the zoo she is still not here.  





 Just in case anyone is interested in how big my tummy really is. 

 Another belly shot taken Monday the 27th, at 39 1/2 weeks. 
 These next few pictures are at the science center.  It was a lot of fun going and we will probably spend a lot of time here on really cold or hot days. 







One day we didn't have anything planned so we had a fun day full of dress up in our princess dresses, had a tea party and then watched Cinderella.  It was a lot of fun and I hope the girls liked it just as much as me!

Baby girl name

I have no idea why we are having such a hard time trying to figure out what this little girls name should be.  Hopefully by the time she is born we can narrow it down.  For anyone who is interested here are our top name choices:

-Aubrey or Audrey
-Elizabeth
-Elsie
-Madalyn
-Evenlyn
-Bonnie
-Jaclyn

Well that's all the names that we have thought of.  While Zach and I played a game last night I went through every single girls name on a website and these are the ones that are left.  We had a few others but I think these are our top choices.  I hope we figure this out soon but for now we are clueless.  We are getting really excited for her to come.  The girls pray for me and the baby all the time and Anna asks me like every day when the baby is coming.  I sure hope that it's soon cause this baby isn't getting any smaller.

Update on potty training

Kali has been WAY harder than Anna.  She still has accidents and she still needs lots of encouragement.  I feel like she is just on the edge of being completely successful but she just needs an extra push...not sure what to do.  We have tried to be really encouraging but man sometimes I just want to scream.  She pushes all my sanity buttons.  This means that all this hard work is for what?  Well I just hope and pray that all that we've tried to teach her will stick when the baby comes.  Starting completely over just sounds terrible but that may be what ends up happening.

Potty training

I was a little preoccupied today so I didn't get a picture of Kali in her cute panties but man is she cute!  I just love this little bucket of love!  Really that is what she is too a little bucket of love.  She hates when people are sad and she is always giving people hugs and trying to help them.  She loves to help around the house and it is so cute watching her.  But everything lately is on her terms!  So when she took her diaper off before bath time and said she needed to go potty and went I figured I better give this a try before baby #3 is here.  So that is what we did today.  I put her in panties and she had 2 accidents but we rushed her to the potty.  Ever since then she has done remarkably well.  She has had a few other accidents but she usually finishes in the potty!  Yay what a huge success at least in my opinion.  To top it off she went poop tonight.  We knew she needed to go for a while probably like a hour or so but I could tell she didn't want to.  Well she finally did it!  She went poop in her potty and then even though it was 8:30 she got a little ice cream for going.  Yes you may think that's bad but this girl loves her food and she seemed really scared about going poop and I wanted to do everything I could to reassure her that it was okay and going poop is okay.  Let's all pray tomorrow is just as good as today! 

Just some random pictures

Some fun random pictures...
 We had an ice storm the weekend before we left to AZ and here are some cool pictures of it.  This was my 1st experience with an ice storm and I can honestly say it was pretty cool looking...I don't recommend driving in one though. 




 These two girls are unsepritable!  They sure know how to get into mischief together!
 All of the Pearce cousins except Alan, cause Jamie wasn't here at this time.  It's hard to get us all together!
 These are 3 of Anna's favorite faces to make...lol


 Our cute little angels.
 Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus(Lily, Camille's little girl) and the Shepard...Holli with her dog.
