Halloween fun

Here are pictures from our ward Halloween party, and from trick or treating. they are all kinda mixed up, I can never figure out how to get these in order. Oh well. Trick or treating was fun. First we went to the Silver Lake mall, then Trunk or Treating w/ my sister in law's ward. When we finished there we headed out with Eleasha and her kids trick or treating. EmmaLynn was totally loving that you got to run from door to door. She had a hard time keeping up with Keeley and Jarrin. It didn't discourage her though. She just kept saying " I gotta run super fast" and " look mom, I am running super fast" We got to a house that was decorated quite well and spooky. She looked up at me and said, " oh, it's a creepy house mom." She also got a little confused cause some people would let her grab it and others would hand it out. So she kept reaching in for the candy when they were trying to hand it to her. Keeley and Jarrin were trying to keep her in line. It was so funny. I wish I had a video camera for that. Hope everyone else had a great Halloween. Enjoy the pictures.

Above is the spooky dessert I made for the ward contest. I didn't win... and the decorating skills are not the greatest, but the desert was super yummy.

Silly EmmaLynn

I forgot I had taken these pictures. We had a movie night and EmmaLynn was sitting behind "Grammy" like she does to me sometimes... She was playing with her hair at first. Then the music came on at the end of the movie. My mother in law thought it was so funny. EmmaLynn had a blast too. Check out the video at the bottom of the post. Sorry the video is kinda dark. It's the best I have.

Free Nursing Covers

So, I was looking on craigslist for some baby stuff, and found someone had posted a promo code to get free nursing covers. You go to www.uddercovers.com and use the promo code " charm ". They are normally 32 dollars, all you end up paying is shipping. It works for the gift packages too, it takes 32 dollars off what ever order you make. So, if anyone is nursing or knows anyone going to have a baby and nurse, it is a great gift idea and really great deal all together. I don't know how long it is going on but check it out.

October Festivities

Today we went to Carver Farms to get pumpkins for decorating and got to go on a hay ride. It was a lot of fun. Here are some of our fun pictures we took .

EmmaLynn and Christian being silly (Christian kept telling EmmaLynn "welcome to my planet" it was quite entertaining)

The two of them have a great time together.

EmmaLynn and her pumpkin

She was so excited to go to the pumpkin patch the whole time we were driving there she kept saying "yay, the pumpkin patch"

She thought it would be fun to try and sit on the big mommy pumpkin

Christian would not let go of her hand the whole time we were looking for pumpkins.

Lastly from beginning of the month EmmaLynn decided she wanted to help us rake leaves. She thought it was so cool to play in them too.

October seems to be creeping by sometimes. I have to keep telling myself to be patient and keep myself busy and it will fly by. I have been working on a car seat cover and trying to get stuff for my cradle to get that all ready for baby.

We've also been trying to find a job for Dan till he goes into the Air Force. We've also been trying to sell our washer and dryer to get a little bit of money to get some bills paid. Neither has been very sucessful yet, so if you know anyone who needs a washer and dryer, we have one in great condition and ready to go. Hope everyone has a great Halloween.

Lots of Busy and a little fun

Well, we have been quite busy, and I haven't had much to really blog about. Over the last few weeks we decided to get rid of our storage unit, and are now storing things in the garage till it is time to move for the military. We're trying to sell our washer and dryer, we hardly used, and a few other things in hopes to make a little money and catch up on other bills. (if you know someone in need of a good washer and dryer we've got it) Also we have re-arranged a few things to make room for the new baby and hope it will do for a time, since I might not be able to join Dan for tech school.

The last couple of weeks EmmaLynn and I have been sick with some yucky colds, we're doing much better now. Although now everyone else around us is starting to get sick too. Now we are just trying to stay healthy. EmmaLynn had her 2 year check up also. We discovered she has her 2 year molars coming in, and she is short for her age 25th percentile. She in the 75th for her weight, and her head is in the 90th percentile. So she is short and solid and has a big head.

Here are some of our pictures from last week after we were done cleaning and re arranging things.

We decided to go to the Post Falls Damn. We walked around and hiked down to the river it was pretty, but it was extremely hard to get back up being pregnant and wearing stupid flip flops.
Dan took some of these pictures... he took some of us.. but those were not pretty pictures of me so I won't post them. Eventually I will post some that don't make me look humongous.

EmmaLynn found the measuring tape and it is her new favorite toy to play with.
She also decided she loves to climb on the couches edge and sit sometimes lay and watch TV... she does this quite often and even sits with her feet on either side of my shoulders and knocks my head back and forth between them.. She thinks it is super funny.

She is saying the funniest things all the time. I can't believe how big she is getting. Talking full sentences and all. Her newest thing is calling her terds monsters. Everything talks too.. blocks forks, spoons, watches anything she gets a hold of will have conversations. There is always a mommy and a "cute little baby" as she says. It is so fun to see her imagination. I have no idea where she gets it from though. It is definitely not from me.

I am now almost 32 weeks and hoping that October just flies by so we can be that much closer to a new baby. I am dying to know what we are having, but unfortunately my babies don't cooperate so I am forced into a surprise. Name picking is the hardest part about it all. I have a lot of projects I am going to start working on for the baby. A couple are a car seat cover to cover the car seat we used with EmmaLynn. ( I hate the whinnie the pooh stuff) The other will be sheets and bumpers for the cradle bed I have for the baby. I will try to post them up for everyone to see. They are going to be pretty plain for now but something I can make work for a boy or a girl. We shall see.

A Day on Boat

Last Saturday we didn't have any plans, so we decided to take the boat out for one last time on the water and have a picnic lunch. We loaded up Saturday morning and headed out to Priest Lake. It was absolutely beautiful. We took the boat and checked out some of the camp sites for next year and just boated around. It was lots of fun. EmmaLynn loved it. She sat with everyone and squealed and cheered with the wind blowing in her face. We had a great time. It was a very nice and somewhat relaxing day, besides the fact that getting in and out of the boat while pregnant is not the easiest thing. Here are some pictures of our adventure.

Potty Time with EmmaLynn

She is so entertaining.. She started talking about a monster prior to these videos, and saying "Shhhh, be quiet". I don't know why she started talking about a monster so much, but it is very cute still.

The Ouch at the end of the second video is not a turd... lol.. she just pinched her finger between the seat when she was moving.
