Fall Fun

these are halloween pictures, bonfire pics and other fall fun pics!

what's new

So i haven't been the most diligent on the blogging front so i thought i would do a quick update. i am now almost 16 weeks and feel huge! i am definitely bigger now than i was with my other 2 kids at this point. i finally feel better but there are still things that make me sick and i don't know til after i've eaten it. my energy levels come in spurts and i feel like i could sleep forever. we still don't know what we are having and we still haven't come up with any names.

Elle is having a ball in preschool. she loves to play with all of the little girls and her best friends are lexie and sydney. she has discovered curlers. she wants her hair curly all the time now and doesn't mind sitting still while i put them in. we are getting ready to put her into gymnastics. she has a trial day next wed. i hope she likes it! she is still pure girl and had so much fun over halloween.

Trey my strong silent little guy is doing awesome! He too loves preschool and in fact both kids fight about whose turn it is to go everyday. He is becoming quite the athlete, there isn't a sport that he doesn't want to play. He loved halloween and it was so fun to watch him run from house to house trick or treating. He really wants a baby brother and wants to name him "Hockey".

Now for the rest. We did get a new car and love it!!! I trick cale into letting me take it to work all the time.:) Actually he makes it so I have to take it by parking the truck into the garage and having daniel park behind it. What a sweetie!! Really he is the best. We have had quite the past month and he's been so sweet through everything, including my massive mood swings,lol. I honestly don't know what I would do with out him. He brings me lunch every day, takes care of our kids, lets me sleep whenever I need too, cleans our house, makes me laugh til i cry and loves me no matter what!! love you babe!!

Well on one last note, I just wanted to say thanks to both of our parents. They have helped us out so much. whether it's babysitting for us or letting us stay at their homes and so much more. We love all of you and couldn't have asked for better parents and our kids have the bestest grandparents around!

We had a ball trick or treating with my family this year. the kids got more candy than they can handle.

the farm

tonight was so much fun! we headed over to staheli's farm and had a ball! trey was in heaven, he ran from place to place and couldn't get enough. we started out at the petting farm. trey petted the goats, the mini horses and of course we can't forget the pig. he did jump when the turkey's started to gobble. elle wouldn't touch any of the animals but had so much fun looking at all of them. from the animals we went to the slides and the big dirt pile.the kids took a train ride around the farm. then we took our hay ride to the pumpkin patch and trey picked out a pumpkin that he could carry. from there it was back to the slides and riding around on the stick horses. elle's favorite part was talking to the witch! we took our ride to the maze and trey was a great leader. he took us around til we got lost and then when he had to go potty we made it out super fast. cale was lost within minutes, he always tells me that he doesn't have any sense of direction and to tell the truth he doesn't. trey does though so he must have gotten it from me :) we made our way back and let the kids play for a little while longer. again i forgot my camera. so we have cell phone pics. they did turn out okay but we didn't get that many. enjoy!

3 really is a very magic number

3 is a magic number because we are having baby number 3 in april!!! we are super excited and can't wait for it to come. cale and the kids are hoping for a boy but we won't care if it is a girl. well trey might. :) we ask trey if he wants a brother or another sister and he tells us "ummmm a boy!" we will keep you posted on how things are going.

bike ride

trey has learned to ride his bike all my himself with no training wheels!!! he's such a big boy now and it only took 3 days to convince him that he didn't need the training wheels. now he rides like a pro!! way to go trey!!!

our little miss elle belle got her ears pierced this week. she woke up on wed. morning and told cale that she was getting her ears pierced. cale of course got on the computer and started showing her videos of other little girls getting their ears done. after watching them she wasn't so sure she wanted to get them done anymore but she didn't back down. note this isn't the first time she's mentioned getting them done.

trip one to claires: we got the earrings picked out and did all the paper work. the whole time she's saying she's getting them done. we get into the chair and ask if she's ready. her hands go up over her ears and she says "i'm not getting them done, i don't want my ears pierced." we ask her to make sure before we leave she's sure. we don't even clear the mall doors before she is asking to get them done again. we tell maybe we'll try again later. i go back to work and all cale hears about the rest of the day is "i want my ears pierced." are all girls so adamant when it comes to something that they want? cale strikes a deal with her that if we go to get them done she has to do it or else we will wait a few years before we will try again.

trip two to claires: we walk in ask elle if she is ready. "yes i want my ears pierced." get the earrings picked out again and tadaa! she's finally done! she picked out pink daisies and they do look adorable on her. She cried for a second but now has been so good about letting us clean them 3 times a day and hasn't played with them once. i'm glad that's over but i am not looking forward to the next thing that she puts her mind too. unless its riding a bike. :)
