Pre-Halloween Festivities!

We have been having fun with all the Halloween fun that has been going on with church and family.

Another Halloween of decorating cookies. We usually always make tons of cookies and then have tons of cookies to decorate. We didn't make as many cookies this year but it still seemed like we had TONS to decorate!! It was fun as always.

The decorating aftermath!

When we all get together Savanna always seems to find Tyler and shadows him everywhere he goes...She loves Tyler and He is so awesome with her.

At church, the young women/men planned a Halloween Carnival for the Primary kids. There were some booths that the kids could play games and receive candy for participating, musical chairs and face painting.

Face Painting... My camera batteries died before i could get any pictures of Tage.

Musical Chairs.....if they called your number you won a cupcake! Of course everyone won!

Miss Savanna bowling

Waiting in line to throw darts to pop a balloon

Savanna fishing. The Bishop (grandpa) came in to visit everyone and I was lucky enough to get this picture! I was pretty happy about it :)

The Carnival and Cookie Decorating was all done in one night! Can you believe it?? It was a lot of fun but I was exhausted when we finally got home.

Lately.....

This is the Bump at 24 wks. The baby has really been moving around a lot and thinks that resting on my bladder is the place to be. I, on the other hand, beg to differ....I know its only going to get worse. Just recently we have been able to actually feel the baby with our hand, which for Bart means more.

This morning I was doing Savannas hair and my finger got tangled in it and she says, "Ouch....I'm going to bite you with my long teeth!" With a serious face mind you.... I just said "Oh really?" and kept doing her hair.

Just a bit later I was finishing getting ready and she came in and said that she was playing in her room. I asked her if she wanted to pick her room up.

Her reply, "No, I will do it someday." again with a straight face and then walked out of my room.

She really is getting so big and has a mind that keeps going and going and says the craziest things sometimes. I love her to death!

I had Tage at the dentist the other day.... I am so proud of him. He sat there motionless for the whole thing. Not that watching a movie had anything to do with it. Even when he got the numbing shot he was motionless.. He did great for his first time.

This and That......

So, it has been over a month since my last entry.....

I am positive that a lot has gone on, here is just a glimpse...

Tage is loving Kindergarten, he is always excited to go and always excited to show the work he has done for the day. Its fun to spend time with Savanna and see the real stinker she is. She really is excited for the new baby and talks to him every day, "Hi baby Boston" as she rubs my belly and then she kisses him. It really is cute. I guess by the name and I think most of you know that we found out about a month ago that we are going to be having a boy!! We are all excited. We took Tage and Savanna with us to the ultrasound and the whole time Savanna kept saying that she was getting a baby sister and Tage was getting a baby brother, even after we found out she insisted that she was having a baby sister. She has now warmed up to the idea of having a baby brother.

Here is also an updated picture of my belly..I am now just over 22wks. I have passed the half way point YAY!!! The past week or so is when I have started to feel him quite a bit. He is most active during the afternoon and evening times. Its still hard to feel him on the outside but boy he sure moves and grooves on the inside. It still seems like we have a long wait to see him but it goes by fast too. I was able to go thru all of my old baby clothes and actually save some things from Tage that I think just might work even though he will be a winter baby. I have been doing pretty good too....Mostly having good days and some here and there bad ones.

More to come soon...promise
