Updating!

Well, I know that it is long over due for an update of our family so I will attempt a little tonight and finished tomorrow, since I worked a 12 hour shift and am helping Dave get the bunk beds back in the kids room!

So I have a long list of the things that I wanted to make for baby girl #2 (we don't have a name yet so I just call her baby girl). I started with the hardest, making the car seat cover! It was very difficult, but Kristi and my Mom helped me through it. I am glad that I did, but if you ask me if I would do it again- only for Kristi! I do think it is way cute! Kristi made the cute diaper bag for me as a gift and I love it! Don't you love how I will be coordinating with the baby!!!
Then yesterday I finished the canopy cover since it will be in the dead of winter when she is born!

I know that I haven't put any pictures of me lately, but I am feeling HUGE these days and I have three more months. When I think about how much bigger I am going to get, it makes me want to cry. Since my Grandma even says I am HUGE, but my Grandpa tells me I look healthy! Thanks Grandpa. I am still running. I am not in a hurry for her to some cause we have lots still to do and make. The only thing that is the hardest is the heartburn!!! But I know that the very tried stage is to come, so I am trying to get my projects done. This next week is a really cute quilt!!

I am still working less then part time. We are continuing to do preschool, some weeks are harder then others, but I enjoy it! We took the house off the market, so I don't just have to clean all the time. Which is so nice! You might wonder why we took it off? Dave and I felt like it was the right thing for us, and to refinance to get a better interest rate- so our payment our better.

Dave is doing great at Costco, and is a great marketer! Both of us really enjoy the company and the benefits that it provides for us! Dave is trying to move up in the company. Little by little, he will be starting a season supervisor position in about a week which is a start! Dave continues to read tons, and is excited for the next book in the series he is reading to come out on Monday! Dave also keeps busy with things around the house, and being a great Daddy!

Carving Pumpkins

On Tuesday we craved Pumpkins as a family! The kids painted theirs and Dave carved the big one!

Sarah did great at painting her pumpkin!

Jonathan wanted to help Daddy take out all the guts!

With his slimy hands, teasing his sister!

Our end products!

Happy Halloween!

Last of the Celebration this year

On Sunday night we went over to my parents for Sunday dinner and celebrated Jonathan's Birthday one last time! He blew out the candle one last time for his four Birthday, which he had a really hard time doing.

Then we all watched Jonathan open his presents from Grammy and Papa, G Grandma and Grandpa, and us.

Sarah just adores G Grandma

Jonathan was pretty excited about this gift!

Jonathan just loves books!!! He had to look all the way through the book and then he would go and eat cake!

Jonathan loves his new pillow and pillow case from Grammy and Papa. The first thing he did was throw his old pillow on the ground and put his knew one on the bed. It was rather cute! (Yes, and we are attempting to put the kids in one room and that is another post in itself!)

The Celebration!

Saturday is the day we celebrated Jonathan's Birthday! Jonathan choose to get doughnuts for his treat! He LOVES doughnuts! We went for breakfast on Saturday prior to the party! Look at that smile it is just priceless!

We all loved them too!
Our little Krispy Creme

When we came back we did some finishing touches to get ready for the party! Then it hit Jonathan, he thought that I forgot to make his fire engine cake, he was worried. But then Dave brought it out as a surprise and he loved it! I had a hard time making it and making it look good, but Jonathan just loved it and that is all that mattered to me!

Brother and Sister!

Ready for the guests to arrive!

They all arrived, don't they look so cute with there hats!
We played one game and then headed up to a fire station at the adjacent city from us! We are thankful for the help of Grammy so that we could get on the kids there safely! Fireman Dunn showed us around the firehouse, and then put on the gear! It was very interesting to us all!

Teaching the kids to drop to the ground if there is a fire and that
he would be coming in like this and to not be scared and to go to the light!

Then since Jonathan was the Birthday boy he got to try on the gear! At first he thought it was really cool!

Then it started to be really heavy and weight more then him!

But he put a smile on for the me!

Isn't he cute!

Then we got into the ambulance and he talked about the role of the ambulance, since the the fire engine wasn't back from a call yet! And Benny was waiting for his IV!

It finally came!

The kids all where able to get up into it!

Then they got to try out the fire hose! They would have let them spray it, but some of the kids got scared when the fire engine came into the station and the fire hose is just as loud or maybe louder! But they enjoyed hold it and pretending to be firemen!

Isn't she just a cutie, like her shirt says!!

I had to show you how Luke held the hose and then

How Benny holds the hose, like a bazooka- while at least that what came to my mind!

Enjoying jumping in the puddles! Look at Abby's face! Love it!

Little Sarah, enjoying being held by her Daddy! Not sure about everything!
Then we headed home!

Dave prepared this cute game about the kids being fireman and women and saving the animals!

Our Big Four Year Old! Ready to sing Happy Birthday!

Then they opened presents! Jonathan was in Heaven once again!

That night we went to our ward Halloween carnival, and Jonathan wanted to do the game eat the doughnut off the string!

However, he just wanted the doughnut!

Enjoying!

Smiling for the camera, Sarah was done it was a busy day!

Happy Birthday Jonathan!
