Yum!!
Summer, Wyatt and Finn always put on a fantastic halloween party every year, and this year was no different! They decorated their house so cute and even had gummi eyeballs, lollipop fingers, gangly skeleton's and all the other spooky, fun things you see at halloween! Gabe had such a fun time being with all her cousins again for the first time since we have been back in Utah. It took her a minute to start talking, which is usually the case, but then she was off and trying to get the scary witch (played by Nanna) to come and chase them! Let me also say, that Nanna was having too much fun scaring all the kids! ha! Anyways, it was so much fun and a great way to get everyone in the halloween mood!

1 Cup of sweet


1 Cup of sweet-no border, originally uploaded by Casey McDaniel.

The sweet things in life, make living good. Today, I bought some strawberries and instead of letting Gabe eat the whole tin, I started to take a bite of one...and then another, and another. ha! I had forgotten how incredibly delicious a ripe strawberry could be. I won't be making that mistake twice!

A wedding in Autumn.

My sister, Nicki just got married 3 days after we arrived in Utah. Everything went very smooth on the day of the wedding which is always a worry for every bride and their mother. Luckily, everyone pulled it off up to the last minute and let the stress of preparation melt away as the ceremony began.
Can I just say, I LOVED her flowers. The colors were brillant and so exquisite together. I kept saying outloud, I love your flowers! ha! Maybe it had something to do with the fall tone and beautiful autmun hues they brought out, that had me remembering why I love fall so much. Nicki also looked incredibly beautiful! I loved her hair too! And the way she wore it that day. Here are a couple of pictures,..I need to work on some more, but for now this little bunch will have to do. :)









Sisters!

She'll be comin' around the christmas tree when she comes..

So it's offical! We finally have very concrete confirmation, that we are going to be having another little GIRL!! When I got back to Utah, I went in to see my Doctor and get an ultrasound, to find out for sure what we were having. The lady giving me the ultrasound was having a hayday looking at the baby, since it was so developed (I was 29 weeks at the time). We were both pretty excited to be able to see everything so clearly! Here are some pictures of the ultrasounds,...I know it might still be hard to tell what everything is, but for the most part, I hope you can make it out. :)
Also, my ultrasound put my due date ON Christmas Day, so after talking to my doctor (who is not working Christmas, and some of the other days nearby), we have decided the best thing is to be induced on Dec 21st! So, this new little babe is on her way during the holiday season! We are so excited to bring her home and add her to our little family!
