Happy Halloween!

Our little builder had a blast at the Fall Fun Fest and is hoping to feel better and do some "trick-or-treating" tonight. We have been practicing! Here are a few highlights from the night and I will post a FB album with the rest!

 When did he get so big and brave? Love his courage!

 J loves his Pops! Thanks for being so much fun and helping to make his night special!

 Petting zoo! J loved the "soft bunnies". They even had llamas, but he wasn't a big fan.

 Bounce houses are the best. We had to drag him out of each one!

 Jumping with his sweet friend dressed as a princess. These 2 have so much in common and it is always fun to watch them play together.

 Train ride with Pops!

 Scott helped build this slide when he was in the troop 23 years ago. Such a cool tradition!

 The engineer of this massive slide.

 Waiting for his first turn...

 It was so much fun that J insisted in waiting in line to do it again! This time, he rode with Pops! So cool that J got to partcipate in the tradition of the giant slide.

Not so sure about cotton candy, but overall the night was a huge success! Thanks NBC for hosting the best Fall fun Fest!

24 weeks....

Woohoo! I always get excited about every new week of pregnancy. This week our little man is at least a foot long and weighs a little over a pound. Long and skinny at this point! He was moving around so much at my Dr.'s appointment that we could barely hear the actual heartbeat. We heard it through the umbilical cord, so he is fine, just active! He may give J a run for his money when he arrives.

We thought we had a name picked out, but I am second guessing it. So, we will keep you posted on the name.

Here is a picture of the little guy at 19 weeks...

 He was moving all around, swallowing alot (Hopefully he will be a great eater!), and at one point, put his hand right up to the camera and waved to us! :)

Praise the Lord for a healthy report from the ultrasound!

Here is the belly at 24 weeks. I have gained 14 pounds so far. I know this is necessary, but seeing those numbers rise on the scale is a little bit of a shock to my system! I am feeling much better and thankful to be in the second trimester. We appreciate your continued prayers for our little man!

Pumpkins...

I can't believe it is October! We are excited about Fall and hopefully some cooler weather. Thankfully, we live close to one of the largest pumpkin patches ever and were able to visit recently. Here are some pictures...

Such a big boy, now. He loved the big pumpkins!

 Being silly. This pumpkin was his "favorite" even though it had bird poop on it. Gross!

 Look at all those pumpkins. J is thinking about smiling.

 Cheesy smile! :)

 Drumming on pumpkins with our friends :)

 Trying to get one of them all looking.

 The best we could do was 1 at a time! Love busy 2-year olds. :)

 Precious!

 My favorite!!!

 Brushing the sheep is fun! I feel like they must drug these animals to keep them this calm with so many little ones running around.

 J's favorite...the bunny. He began quoting Curious George and the Bunny when we left!

Hope you have a Happy Fall and stay well. Our household has been hit with sickness recently. Praise the Lord for only minor illnesses and good doctors!

September Birthdays...

I have alot of favorite people to celebrate in Septemeber! Sadly, I didn't get to see each of them on their special days, but I did get to go to two very fun birthday celebrations...

J LOVED the first party. His friend, A, turned 2! And, her mama did an awesome job on her Elmo party, complete with an Elmo bounce house, J's favorite part...

 He knew exactly what to do!

 Bouncy balls make it even more fun!!!

 Happy 2nd Birthday!

J loved this yummy cake :)

 Sweet hugs! Sad to leave, but we had such a fun time!!!

 Next, Laura, my not-so-little sister, turned 18! So, we headed to Dallas to celebrate just how very, very special she is! J picked out the tiara and wanted to wear it himself. :)

Lovely ladies! We had a great night celebrating my favorite lady and her 18th birthday. Lots of laughter, stuffing ourselves with Italian food, some shopping and chocolate cake. :)
