Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began!

I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming.
Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old & a 4-year-old."
In between waiting for trick-or-treaters, Dan introduced bubbles to Kaelah. She adores them!!! She is also loving her cardboard castle (below). It seems that is the toy she missed most while in Hawaii. I'm threatening to give all her plastic toys to charity. (;
I had to include a picture of Kaelah after eating "blood & bones" for lunch. Don't worry, they were really Princess Spaghetti-Os. I just know you were worried. (: We also had "monster guts" for dinner (aka veggie lasagna).
I'm also adding her Halloween outfit she wore a lot the past couple weeks. It reads, "Gouls just wanna have fun." I still giggle about that even though I bought it on clearance last year. Happy Halloween, everybody!!!

Wow! Looks like I need to come celebrate halloween with you next year. We didn't do anything since it's not really celebrated here although it seems to be catching on. I'm kinda glad cause with weeks left in the pregnancy I'm kinda tired. However it looks like you had so much fun! Maybe next year we'll do something exciting. Either way it looks like you and the little pumpkin had lots of fun! :) She makes a very cute little pumpkin... not that anyone needs to tell you that. ;)

Those stripey tights are to DIE FOR!! She looks like one of the members of Strawberry Shortcake. Can I call her Pumpkin Cheesecake?
Dang that girl is cute.
I was hoping for a better picture of Danny's pumpkin. It's hard to tell from the picture what it is. But it sounds like you guys had a lot of fun!

Happy 250th Birthday

Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Some Explaining

Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
