Making chocolates

We spent the evening at the Carrolls house...making chocolates.

We recruited the kids to sit and roll the balls to dip. We rolled cherry, chocolate, cherry, orange, and then also some caramel. I think the kids had fun, fun dipping their fingers in the chocolate and eating it. I think Grandma had a few too many helpers, but she was very patient (as grandmas usually are).

It was a little messy, as you can see, but it cleaned up pretty good. The kids even did a good job not to get a bunch of middle candy stuff all over the floor, I should know, I cleaned up the floor :)

No matter the mess and the hard work it seems to be, they sure are yummy to eat and Grandma is pretty awesome to do this every year for the family.

The Latest Happenings......In no paticular order :)

Wk 32!!! I am on the final count down and I really am very excited :) :) I don't think we are quite ready so within the next 7 wks we ought to hurry right??

The Dr said that everything is looking good..I put on 4 lbs the most I have from one month to another but its all baby (hopefully)... I am measuring just a bit big but still the Dr says I am fine.

A lot of shortness of breath lately, something I didn't experience with my first two Pregnancies, so it has made things very interesting. The baby is moving great..too great sometimes, and his heartbeat sounds awesome.

It was great to hear the Doctor say that he wanted to see me in 3 weeks instead of 4 and then weekly after that. OH MY GOSH it really did come fast!!!! We are all so excited though...

Savanna is so funny about having baby Boston, she is going to hold him, change him, feed him, kiss him, wash him....EVERYTHING!!! She isn't shy about it either and she isn't shy about telling total strangers that her mommy is having a baby or that her mommy is pregnant. I about die every time, the people are so nice about it though.

Anyway, WHOOHOO!!! ONLY 7 WKS!!

Mr. Tage holding up some decorations at Grandma Carrolls....Now I know that the picture is blurry but they were all blurry and I don't know why. Every Christmas Grandma Carroll lets all the grand kids decorate their tree (very trusting of her) and in T's left hand is a pickle decoration...yes, I typed it right..a pickle. Apparently someone puts it up inside the tree somewhere and if someone finds it they take it and hide it somewhere else in the tree...I must have missed something in the 7 yrs I have been in the family because this is the first I had heard about it. Tage was super excited cause grandma said he could hide it first this year.

More tree decorating at the Carrolls

Just one of sissy...she did a great job decorating the bottom of the tree :)

This is Hailey (cousin), Tage and then Savanna.

Tage really is squished in there. They were getting pulled behind a 4-wheeler, they LOVED it!!

This is our forest...Bart started calling it that and so now the kids call it our Christmas tree forest. There are 3 and I think they look pretty darn good.

A little untraditional but sometimes change is pretty good, and in this case I think it all turned out well. And again maybe not the best pic, but you get the idea.
