Trick or Treat!






























Halloween night we had some family and friends over to the house for some hot dogs and chili and then trick or treating. Our house was full. In the mix were the Ward's, Heathers mom and step dad, my brother and Becca, my mom and Doc, the Jenkins, our neighbors Jonathan, Heather and Tyler and of course the four of us. All together there were 20 of us. We had a great time. The kids loved trick or treating. Me and Katrina made it to the other side of the neighborhood and sent Jeff after the truck. When he got there to pick us up my mom decided that she was tired so Jeff and Eric stayed with the others while my mom and christian hopped in the truck and drove the four of us back to the house. Virginia and Rich (Heathers parents) were sweet enough to stay at the house and hand out candy to the trick or treaters. When everyone got back the kids decided they wanted to go on there wagon ride so Jeff hopped on the mower and took them for several rides. The kids absolutely loved it. What I think is funny is that Caleb did decide not to wear his original batman costume and stayed a sheriff so when Isabella got there I noticed that she was last years Minnie Mouse instead of this years Tinkerbell. When I asked Katrina about it she explained the same thing I went through that day and we both had the same thought, Who cares! Some fights aren't worth fighting but we sure could have saved some money. I really think that it's because we are both pregnant and tired and just really don't need any more stress. I'm sure it would have been different other wise.

Caleb's Halloween costume for School

Today Caleb got to wear a costume to school for Halloween. He couldn't wear his Batman costume because it was too hard for him to get off to go the bathroom so he was a sheriff instead. He liked it so much that he decided that's what he wanted to be tonight instead of Batman so unless he changes his mind again he will be two different things this year. I wish I would have known that would have made him happy in the beginning. I could have saved money because he already had everything he needed for that costume. Oh well. He looked cute at the Fall festival as Batman and he'll be cute tonight as a sheriff.

Clay's has his own special things.





















Thanks to my mother Clay has really racked up the last few weeks. She bought him new bedding, two new diaper bags (one is still being monogrammed, I get it Friday),a bassinet, and a new Peg Perego Black and Red Twin stroller that I absolutely love. It is about half the weight and folds up smaller then my Graco Stroller. I like that it is a side by side and that one side is a little wider than the other so I can hook the infant seat to it. I should have it in a few weeks. I have also gone a little monogram crazy. I have had burp cloths,blankets,shoes, and outfits all done since the day we found out it was a boy. I think things always look a little cuter with a name or monogram. That's something that me and Claire have in common. Here is preview of some of his things.

I've been tagged!

1. My favorite candy is Sour Patch kids. I really think that I could sit and eat them all day.
2. My favorite TV show is "House". I love medical shows and this one makes me laugh. Another reason why I like this one so much is because my husband likes it to so this is our show that we only watch together. It's about the only time we get to sit on the couch together without kids jumping all over us and something besides cartoon's being on the TV.
3. I am 27 years old and still have never spent a whole night in a house alone. I have always had someone with me. Yes, I guess you can call me a scaredy cat but I hate to be alone at night. If its an all night thing I want someone besides one of my children there.
4. My husband says I am obsessive compulsive and I guess he is right because if I think of something that needs to be done or I want to do, I want to get started on it right then, I don't like to procrastinate or wait (unless it's cleaning or doing laundry).I am already wanting to paint and finish the nursery and I still have 19 weeks to go.
5. I hate scary movies! I only want to see something that is going to make me laugh or at least not make me terrified to go to sleep. I have had crazy nightmares because of movies and I don't see the point in being scared if I don't have to be.
6. I love to scrapbook or do anything that's creative. I just wish I had more time to do it.
7. Future mother to 3 Boys! I am very excited to have 3 wonderful children but, nervous at the same time. I hope that I can give myself equally to each one of my children and give them everything they need. I also hope Christian doesn't ever have that middle child syndrome. I pray that I can be a wonderful mother even though I will really be out numbered now! I tag Lindsay and Cresta

Fall Festival






We had a lot of fun at the Church fall festival. Caleb met a little boy that was also batman and they had fun playing together. Christian loved dancing to the drama music. We wish that Jeff could have been there with us but, I am glad to know that he will for now on. I think the boys looked so cute in there outfits, I am glad that they get to wear them one more time they were too cute to only wear once.

Trip to the Blairsville train museum






Last Saturday me and the boys went with my mom and Doc to see the largest train layout in the country. It is over 3200 sq. feet. A man and his son worked on it for 13 years and it is amazing. Anybody that loves trains would really enjoy it.
