Pumpkin Patch Party

I LOVE FALL and all it entails, especially pumpkins!!! Cody's sister has her own pumpkin patch so we had the second annual pumpkin patch party! There was an inflatable, hayrack ride, bonfire (with smores) and of course, PUMPKINS.





















They are always together.....

Baby #3 update

On the evening of September 14th, we had a little "baby scare" and ended up at St. Joe's. I was having really bad contractions and pressure and actually have never felt more in labor than I did that night (could have something to do with the drugs I get once I get to the hospital:). To make a long story short, after multiple tests that night and through out the week, it appeared as though the baby could come at ANY time. Not something you want when you are only 28 weeks along. After further testing and restricted bedrest, everything started to look better and had slowed down:) YAY. I am still on bedrest, but it is not restricted, which is great b/c it is pretty impossible to be on bedrest with two little ones. Please keep baby#3, me, and our family in your prayers. We will probably not make it to the due date of December 7th, but every day counts, and we hope for a healthy baby.

On a side note, we had more sonograms and the baby has a lot of hair.....a lot for 28 weeks, which only means there will probably be more when it makes it's entrance. The kiddos are both in unison now and want a little boy, however, I still feel it is a girl....we shall see, but hopefully not too soon. Thanks again for all the prayers!

Queen of the Dance

If you know anything about Miayla, you know she loves food and dancing!!!!! She is constantly singing and having her own personal dance parties. She is so funny and a hoot to watch. Well now that she is the big 3, she gets to take a dance class at the Y. Miss Ticia said that she has never seen a little girl so serious about it. Our recital is not til June, but as much as Mia "practices" you would think we were on a time crunch. If you are ever available on a Monday morning, you should come watch her practice....or if you ever see her, ask her about it and she will show you all she has learned:) This is her on the first day of her dance career....sept. 14.

SUPERSTAR!

Bacation in Branson

Bacation or Vacation in Branson...depends who you ask.

My parents won a weekend stay in Branson at a Totus Tuus banquet. Cody and I had wanted to take a little vacay with the kiddos before the baby arrived, so very last minute like, we decided to kill two birds with one stone and all go together. The trip was a lot of fun and very relaxing. When we were Destin, FL four days prior, Cody asked what could make it better and I said if I was on vacation with my kiddos, and lo and behold, my wish came true. Dad and Cody golfed at the Payne Stewart Coarse, we swam, shopped, ATE, and went to Silver Dollar City. Neither Cody or I like rides, but since I obviously could not go on them, him and dad had to be the riders....it looked like they had fun...well until they got sick. haha. Yay for "bacations", I love my family!!!!

Barefoot and Crazy, Me and My Baby

DESTIN, FLORIDA!!!!
A great couple friend of ours, Chris and Ashley, had a destination wedding over Labor Day weekend in Destin, Florida and Cody and I went:) It was such a grand time. The house we all stayed at was AMAZING (over 200 pictures taken over the weekend....but not one of the house, dang it) and their group of friends and family made the weekend even more memorable. Everyone just hung out, laughed, partied, ate, and watched the Domers take in their first victory of the season...or maybe that was just a few of us:) Words really cannot express how much fun it was, the pictures cannot even express how much fun it was.......we were "wishin it would never end, going barefoot and crazy, me and my baby:)"

HUGE thanks to "uella & co" for taking care of the kiddos while we were away. The kids LOVE staying with mom and she treats them like royalty. They didn't even want to talk to me when I called! Guess that is not a totally bad thing:) Here are a few of the pictures taken that weekend.












































































































































LOVE HIM!

Miayla starts Kids Day Out!!!

Miayla started KDO (through Magdalen) on August 26th!!! Every Wednesday she goes and mommy gets the morning to herself! She loves going to buddy's school and having her own friends too.

Cody and I go on lunch dates every Wednesday now and we really look forward to them. We initially thought we would try new restaurants every week...but then another OC mini beer tour started and that took precedents:) oh well, yay for just us time that is out of the house!!






She is obsessed with these sunglasses and throwing up hand signs....not sure where she gets this...

















Just in case you forgot she is 3















This was her "I made it through my first day of KDO" celebratory personal pie.

she demolished it:)

Bicycle, Bicycle, I want to ride my bicycle.

Cody picked up an old, old schwinn bicycle for him and Cohen to restore. It is another project for them to do together and Cohen loves it!!! It is just his size and he loves helping his daddy. I think it will be a bit of a bigger challenge than Cody expected, so we will see if we ever have pictures of it put back together:)







Happy to help













Miayla is there for decoration and b/c they took a break with pepsi pop and popcorn!
