October in a nutshell

Of couse all the pics loaded backwards. For the full effect, go to the bottom of this post and scroll up. This was our harvest party at church. I picked the spaghetti and eye ball dig. It was messy and AWEsome! the kids seemed to like it! (the directions suggested using army men for the kids to find, but I HAD to get bouncy ball eye balls, nothing else would do!Jake was awesome and made all the spag for me! He's amazing...yep yep...25 lbs of spag later...it's a good thing that's not our favorite thing on a menu, because i think this experience would have ruined it for me!
We woke up on OCT 27th for our 2 year anniversary to a snow storm. It was awesome. We did a TINY bit of shopping and just spent some quality time alone at home. It was realy nice.


This is our house, and the pile of leaves that we racked up. Jake did most of it, he's really good with a rake. Now, we're just waiting for the trees in the back yard to shed their leaves.


This is our house!
I want to add more pics, but as it is, we're on our way out of the house to hang with some special people. I'll try to load more soon. Hope you have enjoyed...and i'll put a new pic of the belly up too!

Ta da!

Here's the girl, the belly and the face! (this was in shipshewana...amish country) I love the lighting on this one.
Yeah for fall!




I Love action shots that aren't posed AND come out looking cute!



Chicago...this is part of the American Gothic statue...I just love the suitcase!





We found a Hard Rock Hotel while we were walking up Michigan Ave. I got a shirt! I was a very happy girl.





This is a bean. Coolest bean ever!

Baby U update:

last night watching Buffy season 3:...

we felt a kick...or an elbow, or something last night...i'd say about 5 times. Jake's face was soo cute when he felt it.

I have some new pics of the belly, but I spent an hour last night loading pics from camera to computer....so didn't have time to get them onto the website....grr...sorry folks.

also mom and dad U took some cute pics with their camera while we were in indiana...so i'll post them when i get them...it was sunset with some fall leaves changing already too.

as for now we are 22 weeks and 2 days and counting....almost entering the 3rd trimester!!! if you can believe it! some friends from work have asked us to register already, so i'm going faux shopping on monday....

ready or not the baby is coming!!

as always, thanks for reading.

travel

i love traveling to places

most any place will do really

tomorrow we are off to indiana! maybe not too exciting for some people, but lets just say, i just bought a house, and i think i'm MORE excited to be getting on that plane tomorrow.

we'll get to spend some awesome time with our sister and family and stay in chicago for a few days.

i just love going places.

one could be pouting because a trip to hawaii that was planned for this same week didn't work out,
but i'm really stoked to give "the other side of the family" a bit of time with their brother/son/uncle..and give them a chance to see the belly too!

Yet another amazing family that has welcomed me in as one of their own..such a blessing

anyhoo...

i love traveling
i love family

guess the best is to do them together!!!

ready or not...

here we come!
