Carving Pumpkins

We managed to make it to the Pumpkin patch and pick out some pumpkins...seven to be exact. We carved and decorated this past weekend...very fun.

This is the one Daddy



And lots of baby ones too...

Remodeling the Master bathroom

So, we decided we'd finally remodel the Master bathroom after all these years.  We should have done it years ago, but since no one "sees" this room except us, so it keeps falling to the end of the list of "to dos."  A friend of ours was so kind to offer his service and is doing the remodel.  Needless to say, I am thrilled!  I know Chris will love it too, but, I know I am way more excited!!!  I can hardly wait to see it all done.  So, here are some pictures of the demo day.  As more work gets done, I will post updates:)

Well hello there...long time, I know.  Can you say, B-U-S-Y?  Good grief.  My apologies for the deliquent posts and I am sure your life has been ruined because we haven't kept you up to date on our crazy East coast life.  I am sure that if I were to live in the coveted West coast that life would be slower, thus more time to sit and type, upload, post, share and all that stuff.  Hm...would it?  I like to think it would.  Please don't tell me different, because I am pretty sure I want to keep thinking this:)

Babbling..something I do often and out loud.  I am pregnant, I can do what I want.  Ha!  Speaking of, that may be part of the reason we are busy.  I have been getting larger by the minute and chasing a 3 year old around, oh, and a husband and dog.  (Deep down, I would have it no other way.)  Not to mention getting house in order, work, sister's wedding, soon arriving baby boy, attempts at vacation, The House, and a multitude of other miscellaneous endeavors that we continue to run in this rat race of life.  Whew!  Or, as my peeps in the Dakotas say, "Uf-dah! or Uf-dah May Day! if you want to be real serious."

So, I am hoping to get caught up on many missed events..plus many to come this year, so stay tuned:)

In the meantime, here are a few pictures of the pre-schooler who is now a Creative Caterpillar in K-3.  She loves to color and I must say is pretty good at staying in the lines.  Iz adores babies and that includes stuffed animals and demands they sleep on their stomachs (that is face down) covered in blankets or dishtowels.  She is pretty sure bugs are evil now and will not go close....this could be partly my fault.  AND in case you didn't know, Iz is pregnant with her baby girl, whose name is Mia.  She "got pregnant" about the same time I started showing and has stuck with it since and the name has also been decided for some time.  We kiss each others bellies before bed almost every night and she plays pat-a-cake with her brother (my ever gorwing belly).  Quite entertaining.  She decided she does not want her picture taken for any reason and does not care to perform for anyone any longer.  Toddlers..gotta love them.  So without further delay...some snippets of life lately, okay this summer.

Evidence of the "babies" sleeping on their stomachs, covered in dishtowels as their blankets...it really is the perfect size.

 SPARKLERS!!!!

 Izzy loves being on Daddy's shoulders and pulling/playing with his ears.

Getting tired?

 Chilling with Daddy sometime in August...she had a cold, so there is nothing better than snuggling with Daddy and watching a movie....with babies of course.

 At The Big House...playing football.

 Honey measuring Izzy to see how much she has grown.

 Looking for bugs with Chase and Tyler

Sporting her skirt she got for her birthday.

Sanka watching birds or squirrels or something that would be fun to chase.

Playing catch with Daddy (in her pjs)

 Yes, she caught it...good job Izzy.

Congrats Brad and Jenee'!!!!

I can't belive my little sister is married!  I am thrilled for her and wish her and Brad all the best.  We had a fast and great time in Orange Beach, Alabama for the wedding.  It was beautiful on the beach.  I have never been to a beach wedding, let alone participate.  I am extremely honored to be part of their special day. September 11th holds a new meaning for us now!  I don't have many pictures, but here are some that turned out.  When I get more, I will add them.

Izzy and Abby looking at their shells.  They brought back so many shells!

My new bro in law...
