Baby Pictures!!!

I turned the first two, because I think they are easier to see this way. This one is a close up on the baby's face!!! Emilee thinks it looks like her. I think this one is really cute, because it has its arm going up to its chin.

They said everything looked good and the baby looked healthy. They just had a hard time getting some good pictures of the baby's organs and measurements, because it would not lay still. It was getting quite funny and once I started laughing it was even harder. The heartbeat was really good and strong, and they said that so far the baby is a little bigger than normal. I told the doctor that I had hoped for a smaller baby, but.............

So far everything has been going pretty good with this pregnancy, so I have a lot to be thankful for.

Out with the old, in with the new!!

Well that is with the decorations in our living room. I was sooooo ready to take down the fall things and put up the Christmas stuff. I had put up the fall things the 1st of September, so I was really tired of looking at pumpkins and leaves. I put the Christmas things up before December was even here, and I think that it is a first. I always wait until December, but this year I knew if I didn't do it before Dec. I would not have the time to put it all up, because this month is very full of parties and shopping and cleaning the church and shopping and then trying to keep up with our house. We have some kind of a party every weekend until Christmas.
I took some pictures of a few of decorations I have up in the living room. This year the kids were soooooo excited to get all the Christmas things out and get the living room looking nice. Emilee told me after everything was out and put in its proper spot, "Mommy the living room looks so pretty!!!" She always knows how to make her mommy's efforts worth while.

Acting silly as usual!!!

What's Christmas without baby Jesus. And because of this little arrangement, every time Emilee see's a picture of a baby in a cradle, no matter where it is she wants to know if it is baby Jesus.

This looks so pretty at night, because I have lights under the snow.

These are a few pictures for our Thanksgiving. I had another one that showed everyone checking out the turkey, but I don't know what happened to it. We had a really nice time at Jason Grandma and Grandpa Hunsaker's house. It was more of a relaxing time and that was really nice. His Grandma had 7 pies baked, plus the traditional dinner that most people have on Thanksgiving, so we definitely had a feast!!!


Putting on some of Emilee's beads out of her purse and loving it.



Checking to see if the turkey tasted good, before everyone else.........

Well except for Sherry!!!!! (Jason's Aunt)

Latest Happenings!!

It has been forever since my last post and so I hope this does not end up being forever long. But it has been really crazy around here lately!!! I only have a few pictures to post since everywhere I go I never remember to grab my camera, but hopefully that will change sometime in the near future, because I bought a bigger purse!!!! Now I can carry more of the things I need, like a camera!!!
We had our annual church fall retreat and as usual it was a lot of fun. My parents did a wonderful job of getting things coordinated and everything turned out really nice. My Mom had gotten the idea to have a birthday party for everyone. She had the tables decorated for each month of the year and you had to sit at the table that was decorated for the month you were born in. She had Cathy Bailey make the B-day cake and she had party favors, and if you wanted you could participate in a cheap gift exchange. I think everyone had fun, and here is a picture of the cake. Emilee playing with the gift she received.

I think Austin is trying to get a piece of the cake.

The past 2 years I have let the kids dress up and then go to the few houses around us. It usually ends up being 3 or 4 houses. They do not get tons of candy, and that is the way I like it. This year Emilee was a cute little frog.

And here is my little pumpkin. He actually left the hat alone for the most part. They had a lot of fun as you can tell!!!

Lately Emilee has become even more of a little Mommy. I know that I am going to have tons of fun when this baby comes, but I took them to get their Flu shots, and as we were standing in the line Emilee would tell Austin if he was going to far out in the hallway and when he should not do this and that. I happened to here her say "Come here you little Austin" I looked down and she had him in her arm kissing his head and telling him that she loved him. I was loving it, they were actually getting along good for a few seconds. I am finding out all too quickly what my poor Mom went through. She would ask us to please quit arguing, and I find myself saying the same thing all the time.

Austin is my little clown. My mom keeps telling me that he is going to be a clown and I could not agree more. Everything he does and says usually confirms our thoughts. He definitely keeps life interesting!!! Even though there is never a dull moment aound this home, I could not be happier with the family that God has blessed us with.
