Its a Boy!

No pictures... but we did find out yesterday that we are having a little boy this time around! I'm very excited... especially since I'll have one of each and that way will be able to decide I'm done having kids at anytime without worrying about getting my one boy or one girl... I've already got both!

We're thrilled... plus having a boy this time means mommy gets to go shopping for more baby clothes! =)

Scrapbook Blog Updates

I posted a couple of new layouts on my scrapbook blog. You should go look at them. I'm quite proud of them and I love to share my artwork. I finally feel like I'm getting good at this scrapbooking thing. Now if I could just get faster...

Why didn't I do this last year?

The windows in our apartment, for lack of any better way to put it, suck. They are old, single paned, aluminum framed windows. They are gigantic heat seives in our house. Last year our heating bills got really expensive. When I made Allison's black out drapes last March I learned that black out drapery liner not only blocks out light, but is an insulator.


I've had drapery fabric for about 2 years and finally, yesterday, I made use some insulating drapes for the 8 foot window in our living room. Hopefully it will help keep our heating bill down a little this year, huh? We can already tell it makes a difference... you don't feel the cold air dumping on you when you sit on the love seat! What do you think?

Happy Halloween!

We took Allison trick-or-treating at the mall. She LOVED picking up the candy and putting it in her little pumpkin bucket and, even though she was very tired, she had a blast!

Once she got a few peices of candy she thought she was done... she wanted to sit down and play with her bucket and two peices of candy. It was too cute.

She also loved that she managed to get her hands on a sucker, get it open and eat most of the way through it. Mmmm... yummy mess for mommy and daddy to clean up!

Happy Halloween! Hope you had a fun and safe one!

Fun Fall Adventures

This week we thought we'd take advantage of the season and, heaven forbid, actually do something fun! We went to Hee Haws Farms & Corn Maze Monday night and had a good time as a family. Allison LOVED the big tall slide and thought that getting to pet the animals was so much fun. She also thought that the hay bale maze was so fun to run around in.

Yeah for the mini-maze! It was so fun to run in the straw!

This is my favorite pumpkin! I tried to pick it up, but it was too big!

What on earth did they put me in?

The tractor ride with mommy was kind of fun.

But the slide with daddy was more fun!

And getting to touch the cows was so cool!

And I got to ride a pony! What a fun day!

First Boyfriend

Allison has a friend, Luke, who lives down the street. His mom Kristi and I are good friends, so they see each other often. Here's what happened today.

I only interfered to that she didn't end up tackling the poor kid in some future attempt. Plus, it was totally cute. =)

Isn't She Cute?

I love this girl!
