Happy Halloween!

Friday night we attended a Costume Halloween party with our friends. Everyone was all dressed up, we enjoyed lots of yummy food and chatting with everyone. It had been a while since we all got together. John and I dressed up as a "bun in the oven" and the "baker." It was hard to be creative when I have to dress around a HUGE belly. We had a great night.


Here is the whole group! Everyone had great costumes!


Saturday we had a nice day date to the movies. As many of you know, I was obsessed with the high school musical movies, and High School Musical 3 just came out to the theaters, so my WONDERFUL husband willingly took me there with all of the other 8 year old screaming fans. The movie was great, and we enjoyed our time together.


That night we had some more fun, by creating a giant fort, watched the movie Made of Honor, and had our own little sleepover. Wow, I think my husband gets brownie points for watching two of "my" movies in one day!
We had a great weekend, and hope to have a great week as well, this is the last week of midterms for John and my last week of work!!!!

Baby . . .

Our lives the past few weeks have pretty much resolved around baby. We are getting very excited for the BIG day, and cannot wait until he comes and joins our family. Right now we are loving to feel him move all over. I am definitely going to miss him kicking and moving around in my belly. We only have four weeks left.

John is busy with midterms right now in school, but finds time to play a little intermural volleyball, his team is called "Soft Touch". I like to go and cheer on his team, so far they are undefeated. Last Friday night he also competed in a Dodge ball tournament with some friends, and went golfing on Saturday. Now it is time to buckle down and finish up those midterms!
Here is John jumping so high right before he spikes the ball!!


I am still busy working, I know the 12 hour shifts on my feet leave me feeling very tired by the end of the day, luckily, Halloween is my last day! I am counting down! That gives me November to rest and rest, and do a little last minute preparations for baby.
So one thing that I have found difficult is finding scrubs that will cover my belly, so here I am trying on John's scrubs. They fit!!


I am still doing online classes, they are going well. I am also enjoying cooking, prepping for baby (trying not to shop too much), having a Bunko night with the ladies, going to baby shower brunches, and enjoying the time out here in Buffalo.

The weather is getting very beautiful, and cold. The leaves are changing colors quickly, and I am enjoying the cool nights, and warmer (50's) sunny days. We have been trying to take a few maternity photos of baby and me. Here are a few.

Girls Week in Utah

Each year we get together for our annual girls week, first in Buffalo, then Arizona, so this year it was in Utah where my sister is living. It worked out well, because she just had a baby about 3 weeks ago, so I was able to spend much of my time with her new baby.
We had such a nice week, relaxing, playing with her now 3 boys, crafting, cooking, eating, watching movies, and just spending time together! Here are a few pics that captured our week!

Holding the newest member of our family. Baby Jacob. I loved spending my time "practicing" for my turn minus the nighttime feedings of course.
The boys laying in the crib, Caden and Jackson.
Jacob all swaddled in his swing! Check out that hair, he does not look 3 weeks old!
Caden had a tee ball game, so this picture is taken before we left for the game, the boys with their baseball hats!
A picture of our completed crafts. A fun birthday banner, and several holiday hangings.
All three boys loving Tummy Time!
Our girls night out to dinner! Sorry the picture is a little blurry.
My sister and I with our cousin Tina, she happened to be visiting from Colorado, and we have not seen her in years. We went out to paradise bakery!
Jackson loved being a cowboy with his fake gun and all! He would pull out that gun and say "yee ha, cowboy"!

Oh, and by the way! Our baby is doing great. He is moving all around and my belly is growing more than I thought possible, and I still have over 6 weeks left! We are getting very excited!
