Due Date Change and Pictures

I got to see our new little baby for the first time a couple weeks ago. He/She is measuring a week smaller than originally expected and had a very strong little heartbeat of 167. When I was at the Dr's this week for a check up I was informed that the due date has been changed in my charts, so I guess it's official. The baby is now due June 12th... my birthday! I swear our little family likes close birthdays. With Savannah and Jaxon having the same due date, I just find this a little funny. Here are the pictures from the ultrasound. I think it looks like a ghost in the second one.

Utah trip

Right before Halloween the kids and I ventured down to Utah while Noah went to Texas for work. We had a fun time seeing my family. I had hopes of seeing some of my friends but of course my kids became sickly and my morning sickness hit pretty hard. We had a lot of down time and got out a couple times when we were feeling a little better.

According to my children, time in Grandpa's truck required wearing hats.

Jaxon and Savannah had a lot of fun playing with toys I enjoyed as a kid.

We made it to the Dinosaur Museum with my parents. Savannah had been asking to go with them for months and we picked a great night. It was practically empty and they were doing free Halloween crafts and face painting. We even caught the Imax movie about Sue the T-rex. It made me jump a few times, but Savannah loved every minute. This was her first Imax movie and she was not disappointed. My favorite Savannah quote was "Mom, look at all the blood!"

Jaxon always needed to know where Kitty was. Jaxon loves Kitty but only likes to look and never touch the cat.

Some quality Grandparent time happened a lot through our trip. Jaxon loves my dad and took his hand and dragged him around everywhere. Our last night there Jaxon really did not feel good. My parents tucked him in and Jaxon was loving it until Kitty jumped onto the bed and Jaxon said his first full sentance... "I wan Kitty go way!"

We got to see my sister and her boys several times while we were there. It was really great to see them. We had lots of fun with games, playing with toys, their new trampoline and just talking.She is always to my rescue when my kids get sick and of course Jaxon started not feeling well when we were at her house.

We had a fun trip and I was very happy that my Dr could send anti nausea meds to a pharmacy in another state. I think this will be our last trip until this morning sickness goes away.

Halloween

I know its a little late, but better late than never, right? We had a great Halloween. Savannah decided to be Cinderella and Jaxon was Woody. The 27th was Savannah's party at Preschool. She LOVED dressing up and debuting her Cinderella costume. On the 29th we had a little party at church with dinner and a trunk or treat. Jaxon really started to get the hang of holding onto his little bucket and walking around.
On Halloween night it was a little cold so we went out for about an hour. Apparently not many kids live on our street and the elderly people loved having someone come to their door. We went halfway down our street and a little bit down another street and our kids both had very full buckets. Jaxon didn't care how heavy his bucket was, he held onto it so tight. Savannah was great at trick or treating and Jaxon picked it up very quickly. He still isn't talking a whole lot, but is picking up a few new words all the time and in the spirit of his costume he very quickly started telling us "Ye-haw," "Howdy, howdy, howdy" and he even said "Thank you" at every door.
We came home, warmed up, changed into jammies and checked out all the candy while watching the Charlie Brown Halloween dvd. It was a very good night and Savannah is already talking about next year.
