What's new with us?!?! LOTS!

First off!!! We are pleased to announce that baby #3 will be joining our little family sometime around June 7, 2013... wow that seems like an eternity! For those who don't know-we had a miscarriage about 11 weeks ago and must have gotten pregnant within weeks (maybe days) all i know was that it was fast so i feel like i should be almost 18 weeks now (it's a weird feeling). The miscarriage happened at 6.5 weeks... So that being said we are sooo excited and couldn't be happier and of course praying things go better this time :) Here are some pics of our cute little nugget... 1st ultrasound was at 10.5 weeks (one week ago) so it actually resembled a baby! My previous 1st ultrasounds were always at 8 or 9 weeks and looked like a little gummy bear or lima bean thingy... but not this one! Baby wouldn't move though... all curled up and snug!



Parx man started soccer tots... It's only once a week for a month and then he heads straight into hoopster tots! It's been so fun watching him out there.. he is a pretty good little athlete! He just has a problem when they do the "small soft" kicks.. he prefers the extremely hard ones!

 There is only 4 in the class! Even though you only see three haha



 And my cute husband has got to be the sexiest referee there ever was :)  He just started refin basketball for the first time and is loving it... and we love to go watch(we only last about half a game though hah)

And of course some randomness... is such a funny kid and he can figure out ways to get into anything.. the halloween candy was up on that empty shelf above the tv so why not stack two chairs to get to it?!?! In his mind it was a marvelous idea!  It did work and I had to find a new spot for the candy..

Also this pic just cracks me up... just watching a little movie with my construction goggles on.. no big deal!
Bridger is finally starting to say some words and mimic a lot of our words... I think i'm almost positive that he calls me ASH instead of mom... but he has ball, dad, watch, hi, and dog down pat! I'm sure there is more but that's all i got for the moment.

We also recently got our family pics taken.. they are awesome and i will post soon! I think my computers life span is about to max out..

HALLOWEEEEEEN

HALLOWEEEEEEEEEEENNNN!!!!!!!!! My kids LOVE the holidays!! And I do too! We just had so much fun this month! Parx wanted to be Ninja Turtle (AGAIN... but what can ya do?!) and Bridger wore Parx's first costume... SUPER MAN!  Parx was 10ish or 11 months when he wore it and Bridge is 16 months.. fits them both the same! cracks me up!

Decorating with Grandma...



He is proud of his work :)

We made bats out of egg cartons one day and i think it's going to be a new tradition.. it was easy and kept the boys entertained for a LONG LONG time. 

Look at this concentration.. When the tongue is out it is pure bliss!

Finished Product..

All hung up and ready for Halloween... 


We made and decorated Halloween cookies twice... once out of a box my Grandma Taylor sent us..



And then we did Halloween sugar cookie cutouts... my person fav! And Ty's.. it's a real problem having them around our house...




Decorating them is a fun job too...

The boys did a great job!

Pumpkin Patch #1... Parx looks like he is about to crap his pants this pumpkin is so huge

Only pic I got of Bridge before my camera died...

lovely display once at home...

We took the kids to a straw maze.. games... and slide place! Biggest waste of money of our lives I think.. not to mention the freakin road trip to get there!!! SOO LAME! We were there for 20 minutes and then it got dark and they had NO LIGHTS.. NONE.. ZIP!!!! The pics might look cool but seriously this place blew! The slide went so fast that Parx would fly right off the end so Bridge couldn't do it!
 Only decent pic of these two...

The best part of this place was picking out our pumpkins...



Only other pic i got of them semi looking in the same direction :) oh how i love these two!


The straw maze... the boys did have some fun in here but we were so tall we could see everything and everywhere we needed to go!


And of course Ty had just as much fun playing the homemade games haha we did get some good, easy, and cheap game ideas... i'm trying to look at the positives about this experience!

Carving our Pumpkins... WE SOO LOVE THIS! The boys painted two pumpkins and we carved three... Parx got to help with one this year!



He only tried to paint once... nasty!


He was so into this...there was deep concentration... If you can't tell it's a MUMMY!


I knocked out a ghost in about 2 minutes...

Not so bad if I say so myself!

HALLOWEEN NIGHT...(bridge looks like a real short fat kid in some of these pics... it makes me laugh cuz he is so scrawny)


In this pic.. he looks more like super-woman

My big handsome man!


On our way to trunk-or-treat



Bridge just sat right down with the ladies...

And this princess wanted a pic with superman!
 After Parx got all his candy he had just as much fun handing the rest of ours out!

Parx with Ethan, Ali, and Benjamin!
Halloween 2012 was a definite success... I think one the best parts was that my Mom got to stay with us all of Halloween week and be here for the fun!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!
