Trick or Treat part 1

After I was so proud of myself for planning ahead this Halloween (something I never do) and Brody deciding he wanted to be a scary ghost, 2 weeks ago he became obsessed with Ironman....He hasn't even seen the movie! Jamie started singing the Ironman song and it was downhill from there. Since we already had a ghost costume and 2 other skeleton costumes (thank you Mamo) I was not going get him another costume. I did get him an Ironman bag for his candy and thought that would be a good compromise. At his b-day party on Saturday, after all the presents had been opened Mamo and Papa brought out one last gift. And yes, it was an Ironman costume! :)




We went to Emmy's (Brody's BFF and future wife) house and went trick or treating with them. The kids had a great time.


After walking around for about 10 minutes, we had to come back to the house and get some layers on. It was freezing out!

Apple Picking

We went apple picking a few weekends ago with Travis and Lauren. It was a great time!

Most of the good apples were of course high up in the trees, so Travis and Jamie had to climb and jump to get them.

And work as a team to get them down :)

Family Pics

A friend of ours is starting a new career in photography and is doing an amazing job. She was so kind to offer to take family pics of us this past weekend. Click on the blog that says gwenzac to see :)


A few other updates:
Pregnancy- I am 32 weeks this week and had a Dr. appointment today. All is good! The appointments are very uneventful...usually lasting 5 minutes or less, but Brody loves going and chatting it up with the nurses and doctors.

Brody- The binkie fairy came yesterday and Brody finally gave his binkie up. Although at the time I think he was more interested in what the binkie fairy had brought him (geo trax airplane track) then realizing what he was actually having to do to get it. He did great sleeping through the night last night, but did not take a nap today. When I went in his room he said "I can't sleep because I miss my binkie." Ok...that broke my heart, and I felt bad, but didn't give in. The binkie is officially gone (given to the babies who need them more). It does make him more of a little man than my little baby now that he doesn't have it.

Baby Update

I apologize for not posting much lately. School started back up and I have been super busy. I haven't posted much about the the new baby on the way, but that is a good thing :) I have been feeling great, besides the massive heartburn I get from eating just about anything. I will be 31 weeks and all looks good. The Dr. says the baby is measuring about a week ahead of schedule, but they are still keeping my due date December 8th. Brody loves coming to the doctor appointments with us and listening to the heartbeat :) He really seems excited about being a big brother. He is always talking about how he is going to hold baby Jax, buy him a blanket like his and give him a binkie. We think he is going to be a great big brother.
