Pumpkin Time








Happy Halloween everyone! It is sad to think that one of my favorite holidays totally snuck up on us this year! Good thing Grandma and Grandpa were here to make pumpkin donuts, reese's spiders, and a fire-eyed ghost cake with the kids this year or we would have had nothing! I did manage to arrange for a pumpkin carving night and we attended our ward Trunk-or-Treat (with a bumble bee William sleeping in his car seat the whole night!) We even met a lot of our new neighbors on Sunday night for even more tricks and treats. What a fun time of year! My kids even managed to find some fallen autumn leaves who knows where (our neighborhood does NOT have trees) with some neighbor kids - just enough to make a pile and to take pictures in. Still waiting for our leaves to change colors, but the weather can stay warm as long as it wants to.


Caleb is Anakin Skywalker, Lucy a cheerleader, James (obviously) Batman, Annabelle is a Princess and I don't know who that guy is that got in the picture with my kids - looks kinda piratey.

Love my Baby


Can you tell how much I am just loving this baby?? He is so sweet. He is still asleep a lot of the time, but has recently taking longer bouts of awake time to sit and ponder upon life matters (what do babies think about, I wonder?). He weighed 9 lbs 2 oz yesterday! Holy smokes. We are still working on going for longer stretches at night because my eyes are starting to look noticeably shadowed! We'll get it.

Baby William


William Joseph was born 10-11-10 at 2:36pm. 7 lbs. 14.6 oz, 19 1/2 in. long. The delivery went great and we are happy to all be home together. My how our family just keeps getting bigger! We are having so much fun taking turns holding him, (yes, Annabelle, he's not just YOUR baby!) and giving him lots of kisses. Such a sweet miracle!

Getting Closer

Well, I am 40 weeks this Tuesday. Hopefully we will see some action soon! Here is one last belly shot.


And I thought this picture was really funny. I can't tell if this is Caleb or James! I have no idea who took the picture. Any guesses???

Rainbow

 

Rain! We love rain! We depend on the rain here to water everything - and its been looking soooo dry lately! We have been grateful for the pouring rain that we have been blessed with the last couple of days. We found this rainbow in our very own back yard when the sun came out for a bit, and we thought it was so beautiful, we had to take a picture!

Bryce the Rebel


I just found out that Bryce won the NCFR (National Conference on Family Relations) Religion and Family Life Section Student/New Professional Outstanding Paper Award! It was a paper he submitted to present at a professional conference this November and there is only one winner selected in each field! I am so proud of him. They will present him with an award at the conference in Minneapolis! Nice job, babe!

Oh, and here is a picture of him on his new motorcycle. Very grateful I'm not running him back and forth to work any more!

37 Weeks


I'm getting bigger and bigger everyday and fewer and fewer clothes fit me. So, here is a picture in my final days . . .
