Halloween at our House

I decided to post some pictures of some of our decorations and things that we have been doing this Halloween season...

I got his idea from the Food Network website. It's just melted peanut butter and chocolate chips and the pretzels legs and white chocolate chip eyes.

"Mummy Dogs." The eyes aren't very good but it's festive, right?

Our living room window. So fallish.

I put these leaves on Lexi's bedroom window to had some festiveness to her room.

These pumpkins were probably Lexi's favorite decoration. Most of the time they were on the floor and I just let her play with them. They started her fascination with pumpkins.

I bought this at our local craft store. I love it! I just wish I could have found some little plastic baby spiders to put in the web.

This is the easiest craft ever. Take a roll of T.P. and wrap some fabric around it and tuck it in the ends. And then just some finishing touches.

I got the idea for this craft from Val, my sister-in-law. It's just a pot with muslin wrapped around it.

Sean came home from school yesterday with a surprise for me and Lexi, some flowers. Luckily, we had a pot to put them in. Haha.



Check out our amazing carving skills!

Lexi with the pumpkin I carved for her - a flower.

When we carved pumpkins Lexi was sleeping so I got another one to carve today because I thought she'd like playing with and touching the "guts..."
...Lexi did not want anything to do the guts of the pumpkin. She would not touch them or put her hand in the pumpkin.

All ready to go trick-or-treating.

When Sean found out that there were $.50 corn dogs at Sonic, he knew where he wanted dinner. Sonic was packed with dozen of high school and college kids. It look like the were getting their money's worth!

Tonight was free taco night at Taco Bell so we went and got some free black taco's.

Then we went to G's Dairy Delights and I got a $1 ice cream cone and Lexi got a free baby cone. She loved the sugar!

Lexi scratched herself on the nose. So since she was a lion, we decide that she was Scar from the Lion King.

The night ended with a big bubble bath and then sitting on the couch watching candle light dance on the wall. It was a memorable Halloween.

A Little Update

Nothing too excited has been going on. I had stomach flu a few weeks ago and then Lexi got it. And now I'm worried that I have strep throat but I haven't been tested. Other than being sick this pregnancy is going great.

I felt "Pat" move several times this week which is really exciting. "Pat" is the gender neutral name Sean decided to call our baby. We have no intentions of actually naming our baby that though. If it's a girl, Sean is set on the name Reagan, which I like too. The middle name is still up to discussion. Sean's sister Andrea really wants us to use her name as the middle name but that probably won't happen. Other girl names that I really like are Paisley and Hazel. And if Pat is a boy, he's nameless because we can't agree on one we like.

Something kinda neat is that I have a 15 month old who will be 16 months old next week. And a 15 week old fetus who will be 16 weeks next week.

Sean is keeping busy. He is looking for an internship for next semester. His plan is to graduate in April the week before I'm due. After graduation we aren't sure where we're going or what we're doing. That is something else we are trying to figure out.

Lexi has had some bad nights lately. She has been waking up a bunch at night screaming and whining. I think she's having night terrors. And I'm not sure how to help her. I just rock her and sing Primary songs to her. I hope this phase will pass soon. Let's just say if I wasn't already pregnant then I'm not sure I would want to be because I'm sure not looking forward to being up at night again. Haha.

Over all we're doing good.

Pumpkin Patch Pictures

Last week we went to a "pumkin patch" in Rigby. It was basically someone front yard. Anyway, we got some pictures taken by a local photographer who actually lives in our complex. Annelise was really fun to work with and I think we got some good pictures. She posted some of the pictures up on facebook and her blog today. If you want to look at her blog it's: annelisewoodwardphotography.blogspot. Here are some of the proofs...

I think this one is my favorite of us three. Even Lexi is looking at the camera.

I also think this is a good one of us three (well, four, haha)

I love Lexi's cheesy smile in this picture.

There was a cat in the field, which was purrrfect because we used the cat to get Lexi to look towards the camera.

I LOVE this picture!!! This is Lexi's lion costume. I'm so glad we got some pictures of her in it.

2 1/2 Years

Today is our 2 1/2 year anniversary (and you thought no one celebrated half anniversaries after the first year). Sean and have had a great marriage (not that it's over). We've enjoy many episodes of the Office together, the joy of 2 children (well one is still cooking), family vacations, school, and everyday life.

I love you Sean!

The Cat's Out of the Bag... There is a Baby in My Belly!!!

If you haven't already heard... I'M PREGNANT! We are so excited. We are having our second baby. We're due Monday, April 19th 2010. Which means I'm 13 weeks along (well 13 weeks tomorrow technically). We found out about the new addition to our family back in the beginning of August and are now publicly announcing that Lexi is going to be a be sister!

Here are a few pictures from the day we found out about our little bundle of joy...

And this is what I look like now. I'm starting to show if I wear the right clothes...

Thanks GiGi.

These pictures are for you Mom. This is a little photo shoot I had with Lexi tonight in her new dress.

"Where's your nose?"

"Where's your hair?"

"Where's your belly?"

And whenever I take pictures of Lexi, I always get a bunch of her with her arms moving all over the place. She just can't sit still, she is Sean's kid after all.
