Cutie Bugs!

My darling little ladybug and bumblebee!!! Once again Heidi did an amazing job taking pictures of my girls! Thank you Heidi :) What are we going to do without her when we are back east again!?! I'm excited to take the girls to "Trunk-or-Treat" tonight - especially since Gracie is old enough to understand this year. When I first put their costumes on, the girls pranced around waiting for everyone to admire them while they had proud little grins on their faces! What dolls!!! I love them so much!

Singing and Dancing!!!

My parents have a cow that sings and dances and Gracie started mouthing the words and pursing her lips with the "oooo's" of the song. It is so adorable! Of course when I tried to capture it on video she wouldn't look at me and didn't perform quite the same but here's what I got. Little Lindsey loves dancing with it so I captured that as well. Watch Gracie closely when she's wearing the glasses. You can see her little lips pursed "oooo-ing" along.

Fall Leaves!

The girls got to play in the leaves at Grandma and Granddad's house! I love fall and am so glad the girls got to experience jumping into leaf piles and burying themselves. They sure had fun and Gracie would run toward the pile and jump into it. I'm excited to see them in their costumes for Halloween!

Pregos!!!

Me at 23 weeks and Heidi at 34 weeks! She'll be having a little girl next month (we hope)! Her due date is December 2nd and the baby's name will be Oakley Paige. I'm due in February and right now the name is Cooper Timothy.

Daddy!!!

The girls were so happy to see their Daddy this past weekend (and so was I)! I don't know how single parents do it. When Tim first walked in to see us Lindsey leaned into him and didn't move for the longest time. It was so precious!!! The weekend went by way too fast and we miss him already. When he called last night Gracie said, "Hi Daddy, you in Colowado now?" So cute!!!

Hopefully he'll get to come see us again in November. There is another holiday that he has off on a Thursday so it all depends on if he has to work that Friday or not. If he doesn't get to come then we won't see him until December 20th. I don't know how the Army wives do it when their husbands leave for a year and they have babies while they're gone and everything. They sacrifice so much! I can't even handle three months and I got a visit in there. Thanks Elizabeth and Matt for driving him to and from the airport in Salt Lake. We really appreciate it!

Idaho!!!

We are so glad to be back in Idaho!!! The girls were so good on the flight and I was truly blessed that everything went well and we made it safely.

We are so glad to be with our family again and it is so nice to be able to take the girls outside and let them play without having neighbors two feet away smoking cigarettes. The girls love being outside and they love my parents' dogs!

We were able to attend Spud Day with the Corlesses and of course I forgot my camera. Gracie and Lindsey also helped Grandma and Kirsten with the garden. Today they helped my Dad gather rocks in the wheelbarrow and they enjoyed a ride or two as well. It is amazing how a chore is a game to little kids and they find joy in everything.

I am so glad I came back home for Tim's training and he gets to come home to Idaho this weekend to spend some time with us since he doesn't have to work on Monday. Whenever we ask Gracie where he is she says, "Work in Colowado." The other day when we asked her who was in my belly she said, "Little Brother," and when we asked her how old she was she held up two fingers and said, "Two Old."

I love my little sweeties and can't believe how much they change and grow each day!

I cut Lindsey some bangs. It was hard to get them straight and at first I didn't like them, but now I do. Her wild hair was always in her face and now it's not, so I'm sure she likes them.

Our New Little One!

Once again I was wrong on my baby gender prediction! I thought Gracie and Lindsey were boys and I was sure it was another girl this time, but to my surprise, we are having a boy!!! We are so excited! After I found out it was a boy I went to Walmart and it was so different to look at the little boy clothes instead of girl clothes. My sister Heidi already gave us a ton of boy clothes and all our big things like strollers and carseats are neutral colored so we shouldn't have to buy too many new things. Although I am excited to buy boy crib bedding!

Now we just have to struggle to pick a name because Tim and I have completely different tastes and ideas, but with a little compromise hopefully something works out!

Everything on the ultrasound looked great and we have a very active little boy! The man giving me the ultrasound said he wouldn't stop moving and in just a short time his head was up and then his feet and then his head again! No wonder I have felt movement earlier with this pregnancy! The measurements on the ultrasound put the due date as February 14th and we are halfway there!
