October Idaho Trip

Haley is lucky to have a friend, Abi, right across the street from my parent's house. They played together while we visited!

Haley and Abi got into some makeup while they were "playing!" How old are these girls anyway? 

October Idaho Trip

These pictures should be switched because this was after we had moved a lot of pipe and Cash was done. He just threw himself down in the dirt! Tired boy!

Cash liked to pick at the alfalfa! 

Haley was a great pipe mover until she got tired. Jake had pity and helped her through the field.

Good work Haley!

Haley helped Jake feed the bull every morning! 

October Idaho Trip

Just a few pictures of our trip last month to visit my family. Haley and Cash were intrigued with the tractor and feeding the cows. The got to ride vintage tricycles that I used when I was a kid. Cash got bruises on his legs from his tricycle because he had to walk it down the road instead of turn the pedals as they were broken!

The Old Way!

We went for the 20 week baby checkup today and the doctor knows the sex of our little him/her, however, we opted not to find out. The doctor was very good because he didn't slip up and say anything to refer to the gender. At the beginning of the ultrasound, I saw a shot that clearly looked like a girl (like I'm a doctor and can tell.) Then one of the last shots looked clearly a boy (again, I've seen sooo many and can tell.) So much to the dismay of many we are going to wait until the birth day to figure out what this baby is going to be. 

Butterfly Flutterby!

The last few years we have gone to the Butterfly Flutterby in Grapevine. Grapevine, Texas is a gathering spot for the monarchs as they make their way to Mexico. There is a parade with all the kids dressed as butterflies, caterpillars, bees, and whatever. This year we skipped the parade as Haley had a baseball game. Too bad because all the kids who participated got to release a butterfly at the appropriate time. Good luck came to Haley as she rescued a butterfly on the ground and Grandma helped her put it in a tree to join its group!

Cash and Tanner wanting more raisin snacks from Abby!

Haley showing us her beautiful face paint!

Cash also got some face paint. I didn't get a good picture of the Wal-mart smiley the nice lady painted on his head. Both kids were intrigued at each other's face painting. 

Baby #3!

One morning in August I woke up, went running and came home to make breakfast for the family! I made some delicious pancakes and when the kids and Andy were happy I settled down for my own plate. I could only stare at the plate and think about throwing up! I never actually threw up but right away I knew there was something going on inside my body. Haley, Cash and I went to the store for groceries but what I really wanted was a pregnancy test. After taking 4 tests, I knew I should probably believe the 99.9% accurate tests and stop taking them. I went to the doctor the in September and the ultrasound showed I was 17 weeks. I'm about 21 weeks now and get to find out what this is in 2 weeks. Haley is telling me Heavenly Father thinks we need a girl. I am asking Heavenly Father to help me if it is a girl (just joking! i'm sure every girl isn't going to be as tricky...lovely but tricky as my sweet Haley Mae)! A girl or boy will be great! Just make sure it's healthy! The due date is Mar. 21st which is my mom and Haley's birthday! In this picture you can see the baby's head and left hand waving, it's not really flipping us off just a friendly wave to the onlookers!

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins!

I love fall and all that it brings! Costumes, pumpkins, making cookies, decorating! Love this time of year!
