Ultrasound pictures!

These are ultrasound pictures taken this last Monday. I am 28 weeks and doing just fine. Babies look healthy and are growing!! Can't wait to actually see them outside of my belly :). This is Baby A. This baby is slightly larger then Baby B. If you can't tell what you're looking at, it's a profile picture. The baby's head is on the left facing up.

This is baby B (slightly smaller then Baby A). This is another profile picture. The baby's head is on the right and facing up. It's a little tougher to see the nose because there is a little hand behind the face that fogs up the profile a little bit.

Pumpkin Patch and Halloween Fun

This last week was a busy one! On Wednesday Avery and I went to the pumpkin patch with Mom, Charlie, Dan, Heidi, and all their crew. We had lots of fun, but it did take a little bit to get Avery into it, but she ended up really having a good time. Then on Friday it was Halloween!! Avery dressed up as a kitty cat. She was so excited that morning when I showed her her halloween costume. She wanted to be in it all day. We went to Katy and Mike's and went trick or treating over there, then went back to their house where my mom had set up a whole spooky set up with a cauldren and everything. Mike and her had also set up some really cool stuff in the garage for the kids to play with. There was a pinata, pin the stem on the pumpkin, and tons more. It was a lot of fun!! But we were definitely ready to go home when the day was over.

Avery threw a fit when we first got to the pumpkin patch. She threw herself on the floor and was screaming and yelling. Of course I had to take a picture, what a wonderful mother I am...

When we finally got outside she was a little happier. She got to ride on the duck.

Next we took a hayride out to the pumpkin patch.

This was the first pumpkin she picked up, but not the one we ended up taking. It was a little yucky on the other side.

Here's her cheesy smile. The pumpkin next to her is the one she picked out.

Then there was the straw maze. She did really good actually. I didn't have to help her too much. She just followed the other kids.

Here's her and Maddy. They had fun together.

Here's her kitty outfit. I was surprised she didn't rub the face makeup all over her face in the first fifteen minutes lol.

Who is this lady?? She wasn't scared, surprisingly. She was just super curious.

Avery and Joe were more interested in destroying the pumpkins then knocking down the pins I think. The pumpkins didn't last very long after they got ahold of them.

6th folder 6th picture

My sister Katy and another friend, Cassie, did this kind of blog. You find the 6th folder in your pictures and pick out the 6th picture in that folder and post it. Here is a picture of Avery attempting to dress herself in my t-shirt lol. It was taken this last July. She likes to pull whatever she can out of the laundry basket while I'm folding and put it on herself. I would have older pictures but as most of you know, my computer crashed last summer and I lost all my pictures, so all my folders are pretty recent, but this one's a good one anyway. Hope you all do this, it's fun to see what picture pops up!

Having fun in the nice weather!

This last week the weather has been awesome!! We've been outside every day playing with the dogs. Chad's been working really hard trying to get our lawn extended a little bit. It's looking really great! Avery got to ride on the tractor with him for a little bit too! Also, a friend of Katy's gave Avery her daughter's old VW Bug car stroller. It's Avery's new favorite toy. She loves that thing!! Anyway, here are a few photos from the last week. Hope everyone else is enjoying this great fall weather as much as we are!

Riding the tractor with Dad!

Her new car. She loves honking the horn lol.

I had to throw this one in. I always try to catch Chad when he's playing guitar hero because he makes the funniest faces. He saw me trying to take this picture so he exaggerated a little bit lol, but it's not too different then his regular guitar hero face...

Fun at the Cabin

Last weekend Chad, Avery, Charlie and I went to the cabin with Katy, Mike, and their "entourage". We had so much fun. Chad and Mike went hunting Saturday and little Sunday, and Katy and I took the kids down to the reseviour (sp) that their emptying to play. It's always fun for me to watch Avery play with other kids. Her and Joey have so much fun together, when their not fighting lol. Most of the time in the cabin was spent trying to keep both of them from climbing the stairs. They would climb about half way up and then look at Katy and I with that, "You think you can catch me" look. All the other kids had fun too. Cole and Charlie really got into playing in the mud in Rimrock. Gracie was busy chasing babies and being a little mother hen lol. She's so helpful!

They also had fun playing with the neighbor kids. The cabin next door has some new owners. They had 4 kids, 3 that were there, and they were all similar ages to Charlie, Gracie, and Cole. They built forts and made banana boats. Katy and I liked it because we got the cabin to ourselves for a short bit! Here are a few pictures of our fun weekend.

Eating Lunch down on the Beach!

This is the best picture I could get of all of them. The bigger kids ran directly down to the water so they are too far away to really see lol. Avery and Joey attempted to follow, but didn't get anywhere fast with all the big rocks to climb over.

Two little trouble makers. They knew they weren't supposed to be climbing those stairs!!!

Avery's favorite seat, Eli's carseat! Joey tried to climb in with her at this point, but Avery wasn't too happy about it. I was cracking up because she was screaming and yelling at Jo, but when I took the camera out she stopped, looked at the camera and said "Cheese!". When I put the camera down she went back to screaming and yelling lol.

And of course I had to throw in a picture of Eli. This is what he did most of the weekend...

My bathroom's done! YAY!

I've been wanting to paint my bathroom for a long time, and finally, a few days ago, I went over to my mom's and stole some old paint from her so I could just get it done. After putting the first coat on, and then putting it off for a few days because I didn't want to go back to painting, it's finally done!! So it's not the bathroom of my dreams, at least it's not as ugly as it was before. It used to be half blue, like royal blue, and half white. Wasn't pretty. I'm happy with it. It feels good to have at least one thing that I want to get done before the babies get here done!

Next I have a couple picturse of my girl. She love love loves corn on the cob. It's hillarious to watch her eat it. I swear this kid can clean an ear of corn faster then I can. I couldn't help but take a couple pictures.

A little to cramped in the crib...

I walked into Avery's room this morning while she was still sleeping, and had to get this picture. She's been doing this the last couple of weeks, sticking her feet out of the crib. It cracks me up. I think she's just like her dad that way. Chad likes to stick his feet out the end of the bed and hates for them to be covered by blankets at all. The ball above her head is this glow ball that she's had for a long time, it's basically her night light. Good thing she won't be in the crib too much longer lol.
