Girls Night Out!

Okay I have some of the coolest and best friends in the world. We had a girls night out last night at Johnny Carinos to celebrate the little addition that will be joining our family. It was delicious food, and so much fun to have a night out. Me - being the 37 1/2 week prego girl - forgot to get a picture of us there. I know...I know. But I did remember to snap some photos of all the sweet gifts. Thank you so much to everyone who came. I had so much fun!



As you can see we are definitely hooked up with diapers, some cute new clothes (yeah, she doesnt' have to wear 100% hand me downs from Hailey), hand sewn bibs, and fun little things!

Jennifer made this really cool diaper cake! Bridger thought it looked awesome when I brought it home.

Yep, this was Carsons favorite. The pink poodle jittery pal. "Hey mom, I'm just going to check it out before baby Cindy Lou comes. You know, make sure it is fun to play with."

Bridger and I are making bets on what the exact day the baby will come is. My offical due date is Oct. 25th. Anyone else want to take a guess? He's already got the 19th. I'm saying the 17th.

Lizard Hunting

These two are getting so big! I was so impressed with how still they could hold and how gently they handled this baby lizard. Looks like they're ready to help Mommy with the new baby...or lizard if you ask Carson!

If I hold REALLY still and don't smile...

Oh, wait... that's not a lizard. 36 weeks!

Rock Band - Sat Morning Style

These kids are hilarious to watch when they are playing Rock Band together. At least Carson was nice enough to put pants on for the picture. : )

Black Swallowtail

Carson and Hailey found some caterpillars in the garden and have been feeding them in the house for a couple of weeks. The first one finally emerged from its cocoon today and the kids had fun holding it while it dried its wings.

Halloween Decor

I do not have any Halloween decorations...I mean none. Well, I would really like to start getting a few every year so eventually our house can be all cute and decorated. Well after looking at the stores and seeing all the prices on everything I decided to try and make a few crafts. (Yah I know, I'm not that crafty.) These were super easy to make and I think they turned out really cute. The "candy" design is from the peppermint creative website. I had a girl in the kingwood ward cut out the vinyl. She does a great job and is SUPER cheap! So hooray for our Halloween decorations...all 3 of them! :)

Right now they are all on the mantle, not sure where they'll end up...maybe they will stay there.




The best part about Halloween!

Okay this one turned out my favorite. I love how the O's in boo look like eyes.

Yes the "trick or treat" vinyl and block were from LAST YEARS super saturday. I didn't have time to do it last year and it took me a whole year to paint the block and apply the vinyl. At least it did get done though. I think it looks good with the other two blocks.

Carson's First Day of (4 year old) Preschool!

Carson is soooo excited to be in the four year old class this year at preschool. Of course mommy made him get some photos before we left for school!



Hailey doesn't get to go to preschool, but she sure thought she should stay and play when we dropped Carson off...hold on Hailey, you can next year!
