A Surprise that was so Unexpected !

I meant to post this sooner but time got away from me. Last Tuesday some of my closest friends in my church/ward threw me a surprise baby shower. I had no idea. I was not expecting anything because I have one of each gender for kids and didn't think anything of it. My husband was in on it too. I should have know something was up when he didn't give me a hard time about watching the kids, he was almost to cooperative, no questions, just sure I'll do it. My friends actually threw me a diaper and wipes party, which is just perfect. I never planned on having two kids in diapers, it going to be pain for a while, but somethings just happen that way I guess. It was so nice, the food was so good and my friend Sandy made a beautiful cake. Thanks Sandy, you are so talented. The games were lots of fun as well. I of course didn't have a camera with me so, I took a picture of all great gifts. I also had a few friends give me some warmer clothes for the upcoming weather we will be having. I say up coming because I am still waiting for it to cool down enough to wear pants and a jacket. That's right I am still wearing sandals and Capri's. Gotta love the southern weather. Any ways back to what I was saying. I was just in sock that none of my friends leak out the secret. I had recently done something with them or talked to them and they all said nothing. It was so nice, it really lifted my spirits. You know how it is all you ladies that have ever been pregnant, the whole feeling so big and uncomfortable/ worries about how your going to do it all. It really has gotten me excited to meet this new little girl. I am so ready to not be pregnant any more. Thank you to everyone for the shower is was so nice and so unexpected. I can't seem to express how thankful I am. It's made me feel so good to know that even though I don't live close to family, that I have such good friends that are there when I need them to help me and my family. It's like a family away from home. Thanks so Much!!

Treat or Treating take 2

We had a great time at our friends house going treat or treating. This was the second round of trick or treating, we did the church Trunk or Treat last week. They first had a picnic under the park pavilion. Jerry got recruited to cook the hot dogs and hamburgers. It was nice to have some hot apple cider there. After that the kids load up on the wagon/hayride. The kids would jump on and off in between each house as they collected candy. It was a lot a fun. Caleb didn't quite get treat or treating the first time around, but the second time he had a blast. He loved carrying his pumpkin bucket, he always thought he had to walk into the houses to get the candy. We decided not to torture him with face paint this time around, due to him not feeling so great the last few days. Kate love riding on the Hay ride and run up to the house and back getting her candy. It was nice to have Jerry to help me with Caleb it was getting hard for me to get up and down off the hay ride. It was pretty cold last night. Kate ended up wearing her Tinker Bell Jacket which was green so it totally matched and she still looked like Tinker. We had fun putting on make-up for her and sprinkling fairy dust on her hair, which in fact was just glitter. She had a great time. The kids have enough candy to last them quite a while. Caleb's favorite by far is still the dum-dum suckers. All in all it was a great Halloween season. I am looking forward to more upcoming holidays.
