NAME???

We are trying to decide on how to spell our new little one's name. We have come up with three different spellings, (for the first name), and decided to see what other people thought- I put the middle and last names to get the whole effect. We both actually kind of agree on one of them, but thought it would still be fun to see what our friends and family thought, let us know which is your favorite and why-

Kaleb's Art

Kaleb has turned into quite the little artist- he loves to draw, color and cut! I am amazed at times at how good he is getting and had to share some of his latest creations-

Kaleb calls this his T-Ball guy. I don't know if you can really see, but he cut out every little individual piece of the guy- arms, feet hands, shoes, hat, face, even his bat and ball are separate pieces. I thought he did a really good job and he was so proud of the outcome!

This is one of the characters from "Where The Wild Things Are"- I took him to see it a few days ago and he now draws pictures of his favorite Wild Things. He did this without looking at a picture, all by memory.

Pictures

My good friend Stephanie took some pictures of the boys for me. She did a great job and we are really happy with how they came out- thanks so much Steph, you did awesome! Here are a few of my favorites-

I must say, they are pretty darn cute!!

A Girl?

No one was as surprised as I was when the lady said it's a girl! I was thinking that she missed something and that when she went back to check that she would find what I thought was there! Nope, it's a girl and we are so happy! We would have been just as happy with a boy, all we really care about is the babies health and everything looks great! It's just so amazing to see her moving all around, what a miracle it is! We feel so blessed and are looking forward to meeting our little princess!!!

Here is a profile picture of her, so cool!

These are her cute little hands. On the left they are in fists, on the right one hand is opened over her forehead- almost like she has just had too much and wants to be left alone. Are we in for a drama queen?

This is me at 19 weeks, feeling good!

Trick or Treat

We had a great Halloween and of course got way too much candy for our little family. We went to the trunk or treat and then made it to Tiara Hills and a few houses at our own neighborhood. The boys had fun and looked so cute!

Optimus Prime, cool!

Our cute little doggie, as Jaren said it!

Here they are at the trunk or treat.

Pumpkin Carving

We carved our pumpkins Halloween morning- it's something that I love doing and we all have a great time.

Jaren loved his ghost pumpkin.

We actually had to bribe Kaleb to touch the insides with his hands- he is so funny!

Here we all are with our pumpkins!

Party

Jason and I went to a Halloween party last friday- A guy from his work puts one on every year. Well, Jason had this idea of us going as our Mario Kart Mii's- those of you who have played will understand! I actually was surprised at how it all came out. Jason did all the constructing of our cars and then we colored them- it took a lot of time, but I think it turned out pretty good!!!

Jason's car- these were made out of cardboard- not too shabby!

Mariah's car

Yes, we do look like dorks, but it was fun!

License plates, of course!

We make the shirts with masking tape.

Field Trip

I got the chance to go with Kaleb on his first field trip. We went to Busy Farms and it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed watching Kaleb have fun with his classmates and just being there. It was pretty cold, but at least we didn't get any rain!

Kaleb and his best friend Constantine- they are so cute together and get along really well.

They had to be able to carry their pumpkins all be themselves. As you can see they aren't small pumpkins, but they made it- slowly, but they made it!

Here they are with their classes- This is the morning and afternoon classes together.
