Carving Our Pumpkins!!

Haille's pumpkin is a witch, and she carved it all by herself!! Trentin's pumpkin is a Colts pumpkin. You can't tell from the picture, but when the lights are off, Trentin's pumpkin glows blue and Haille's glows red. They turned out really good!!





Pumpkin Patch

Grandma took us to the pumpkin patch!


Me & my babies after my baby shower!! Thank you so much Mom, Edna, Tiff & Melanie for throwing my shower!! It was a good time & we're so lucky to have gotten so much stuff!!!! Now I have the task of making room for everything!!! Time to get organized!!! Only 9 weeks to go........and it's coming up fast!!!

Whew!!!

I passed my 3-hour glucose test, thank goodness! It's such a relief to know that I don't have to go on a strict diet, because I really suck at dieting. However, I am still watching how many sweets I do eat. If my blood sugar was high enough to need a 2nd test, then I know I need to be more careful. Maybe just one peanut butter cup every OTHER night, will just have to do!!

I Failed.....

......my glucose test, that is!!! Kinda bummed about it. Well, not bummed - I'm devastated!!! I never had a blood sugar problem when I was pregnant with Haille or Trentin. So this is a huge shock!!! Apparently my nightly reese's peanut-butter cups aren't a good idea (which makes me want to cry). For those who don't know - I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PEANUT-BUTTER CUPS!!!! They are my weakness!! I seriously think I am addicted to them, and thinking that I can no longer have any, has me near tears. I thought I was doing so good - I've only gained 11 pounds, and the baby is like 3 of those pounds, so what's the problem? I'm going back to the doctor to have another glucose test on Monday morning, only this time it's 3 hours long. I'm going to avoid sugar until then. At least, I'll do the best I can!!!! And I'll be damned if today isn't someone's birthday at work, and sitting there, right beside my desk, is a whole plate FULL of cookies. Lord, have mercy!!!! This.Is.Torture.

Oh, and baby boy is still doing great. Heartbeat is still strong & he sure does move alot!!! Also, I think Jason is going to let me have my way with his name!!!! I told Jason if he's letting me have the first name, he can decide on the middle name. That is, until I heard what name he wanted, then I had to ask him "Are we hippies who want to name our flower child after the weather?? Do we need to get a Volkswagon van with flowers & peace signs painted on the side?" Yeah, he didn't like that very much. Maybe I'll help him with the middle name, too!!!

Baby Boy Update

Everything is still going great!! I'm feeling really good, and our baby boy is getting stronger and stronger with his kicks. So far, I've only gained a total of 7 pounds, and the baby weighs 2 of those pounds, so it's totally UNLIKE my previous pregnancies. It's weird when I hear people tell me they think I've actually LOST weight, when I feel like such a fat heffer. When I was pregnant with Haille, I gained around 60 pounds!!! So this is unusual for me. Next week, I go for my glucose test, which hopefully will be fine, and then I start going to the doctor every 2 weeks for check-ups. We have not decided on a name, although I've got my heart set on a particular name, and I'm just waiting for Jason to come around. One day he likes it, and another day he's not so sure. It's a cool name, and I am certain that no other boy he grows up with will have this name. It's a really unique, strong, distinguished name. (Fingers crossed that I can convince Jason!!) I wish I had a scanner to show my new ultrasound pictures, because we got a few pictures that are absolutely amazing. We caught him yawning, and you can actually see his nose, eyes and big open mouth!! We got a great profile picture, a footprint, and yet another one where it shows his "boy" parts. 12 weeks to go!!!!!

Happy Birthday Haille!!!

Haille is now 7 years old!!! Where did the time go? She looked so cute in her curlers, getting ready for her party.


Haille wanted "every-thing" High School Musical, so that's exactly what she got!!!
Thanks Grandma for making her cakes!!! They were beautiful (and yummy!!)

Trentin's First Colts Game!!

Trentin went to his very first Colts game. He absolutely LOVED it!!!! Trentin does love football, which pleases his daddy. We can't wait until he's old enough to start playing (2 more years!!) He called me during halftime, and was so excited because he saw Peyton Manning (his favorite player.)


While the boys were at the game, Haille and I had a "girls" day!!! We went and ate lunch, got a Libby Liu makeover, and then went shopping!!!



Toothless


Haille has lost tooth #3!!

Colts Season!!!

The Colts Season has begun!!! This is the time of year we look forward to, especially since the Colts won the Superbowl last year!!! Opening night was a blast!!!

They raised the new banner.



Jason was so excited because Deon Sanders was sitting literally 25 feet away from us during his broadcast.


You just don't know how much you miss drinking beer, until you can't have one!! Oh well, it's worth it. Thanks Mom for making my shirt!!! Everyone loved it!!!

The kids got to wear their Colts jerseys to school!!




Labor Day Weekend

On Labor Day weekend, Michelle, Alvin, Matthew and Emma came to stay with us. Sunday was such a gorgeous day, so Jason, Michelle and Alvin went to play golf, and I took the kids to do something fun. (I can't really golf now that I've got a big belly!!) Since Matthew and Emma live so far away, it was really great to be able to do something with them, since I hardly ever get to spend any time with them.
