19 days.......and counting!

Just wanted to remind all of you that 19 days from now, we will have our sweet baby boy in our arms!!! I am being induced January 5th! Yea! It is so nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel! I think with Christmas, and New Years, 19 days will fly by!!!!

Car Seat Make Over!!

So, after 2 kiddos, my car seat had seen better
days! So I decided a make over was the way to
go! I bought the car seat cover online, it is
madeout of SUPER SOFT minky, which
I LOVE!

Then with the help of my sweet Sister-in-law,
I made a matching blanket cover out of the
same fabric!I love that baby #3 will be toasty
warm inside,and hopefully more protected
from icky germs!

This picture is for you Jenny!! Here is my prego
belly @ 8 months!! I went to the Dr. today, and I
am dialated to a 1 and 1/2!! Yea!! I don't know
why,but it feels like progress!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

The boys enjoyed all the snow that
fell yesterday!We made a snowman,
snow angels, and hada huge snowball
fight! Oh to be a kid again, and to
LOVE to play in the snow!!! I'm already
ready for Spring!!!!

Halloween!

Peach Jam!

My sister-in-law Tricia has a little peach
tree that has produced TONS of peaches!
She was all to relieved to donate some of
her fruit to us! It was my first time to make
Jam, and it was so rewarding! We ended up
with 36 jars! Yum! Tomorrow is Salsa!!!!!!

This is a cute little pumpkin patch
here in Idaho. Everyone had a
blast picking out their pumpkins!
I'll have to post some pictures of
the carved pumpkins!
We are having a blast here in Idaho!

Crafting with Jenny!

This is the super cute nursing cover I made! I
lovethis fabric! I've never had one, so I am
excited touse it! Thanks Jenny for being my
model!

This Halloween no-sew table runner

was soooo easy, and turned out SO

cute! And it only cost me $6.44!!!!

This is also a no-sew table runner,

but as you can see.......it's a fall pattern.

I made this one longer, so it will still

fit when I put in my two table leaves

in! I cannot wait to decorate the

table for Thanksgiving!!!

Anyways......we've had a fun couple

of days!! Thanks Jenny, I'm going

to miss you!

Little Boys & Mud!!!!

I love the handprints behind him!

look @ Preston's toes!!

Oh my goodness! Need I say more???

But don't they look SO happy? In

fact, it makes ME smile just looking

at these pictures!!!

Preston's 1st day of school!

Preston did so well on the 1st day of

preschool! He was a little nervous,

and when I left him there, he had

some tears. But by the time I came

to pick him up, he was all smiles, and

couldn't tell me enough how much

he loved school! I almost cried as I

walked home(it is right across the street)

I cannot believe my little boy is growing

up so fast! Where does the time go????

It's a BOY!!

I guess it is my job in life to be surrounded by handsome boys!! Even though it would have been fun to have a girl, we couldn't be more excited about this little guy! Everything on the ultrasound looked great, and it was really fun because we were able to have a 3D and 4D ultrasound done! It was AMAZING to be able to see his sweet little face, hands and feet! Hopefully I can get some of the pictures on here soon!

Our camping trip to Bear Lake~

Nate just wanted to eat sand! yuck!

This is the second time we have taken the boys camping, and I have to say, this trip was much better than the first! My parents let us borrow their camp trailer, and let me say having a toilet and running water made all the difference in the world!!! The boys loved the beach, playing with cousins, and of course the water!

The 3rd and final chapter!!!

For all those who haven't heard, we are

expecting baby # 3! I am 17 weeks now, and

can hardly wait for my next appointment, when

we find out the sex of the baby! Our sweet little

bundle is due Jan. 15th! We will be busy with 3

kidos under the age of 4!

A long over due post!

Things have been so busy here this summer, which
I love! Jim's mom was able to come and visit for a
week, and now my parents and brother Jared are
here for a week as well. The plan is to all go back
to Idaho on Friday, to spend more time with family!

Baby Nate's big boy hair cut!

Doesn't he look older? It makes

me sad that my baby is getting

so BIG! What a CUTIE!

Preston vs the merry-go-round

Poor Preston, this actually looks worse is person!

We were at the park yesterday when Preston fell

off the merry-go-round, but as he explains it "the

merry-go-round pushed me off " He is such a

trooper, he didn't even cry! Gotta love this little

guy!!

A long over due UPDATE!!

Wow, has it really been a month since my last post????
OK....here is what we've been up to!!

• I drove a 31 hour (round-trip) with BOTH BOYS, all BY MYSELF!! I have to admit I am proud of myself!!!!
• Jim and I decided to plant a small garden..........it turned out to be ridiculously HUGE! We have: pumpkins, squash, green peppers, peas, carrots, jalapenos, & green beans!
• I received a new church calling~ 1st counselor in the Young Women's.
• I finished 2 aprons that I am making for Christmas presents!
• Preston started swimming lessons!
• We canned 100 lbs of chicken and 35 lbs of hamburger!!!!

Now... can you really blame me for not posting????

Fun in Idaho

We are having so much fun here in Idaho!

Here are some pictures for you Jim!! We

MISS YOU!!

On the Road Again!

I was excited to find out that I had a month

between my spring and summer semester,

so I decided to come spend time in Idaho

with family! It was my second time driving

here with the boys by myself (16 hours) and

I was a little nervous!!! But the boys were

AWESOME!! They slept, watched movies,

and played! I couldn't ask for better

travelers!

Happy Mother's Day!

Isn't this the cutest necklace EVER???
My SWEET husband bought me this
for Mothers Day! Unfortunately, it
won't make it here in time, but what
a sweet gift! You can check out all
the awesome jewelry at The Vintage Pearl!

I'd also like to tell my Mom how much I
love her! I couldn't have asked for a
better Mother and friend! Have a great
Day mom!!

indoor water park!

w




This week Jenny and I took the boys to this
AWESOME indoor park!! It was such a BLAST!
Preston was SO brave and went down all the
slides all by himself!! Nate loved that there was
water EVERYWHERE! Anyone who is ever
in Grand Forks, you have to go here!! We plan
to go again soon and take Jim!
