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.

Baby #3!

We are expecting our 3rd child on June 5, 2012! This was a bit of a surprise to us, but we are very happy. Savannah actually told me the day before we found out, that her sister is in my tummy. Only time will tell, as we have decided we will be waiting to find out the sex of the baby! I went to the Dr on the 21st and everything checked out. We have an ultrasound on Wednesday and I am so excited to see how this little baby is doing. So far I feel terrible and don't remember being this miserable before, although I have also had a cold for the last week.

The Band Perry

September has been a very busy month for our family. Noah's store was being remodeled and between getting Savannah off to school, dr visits and very long days with just the kids, I haven't been posting like I should. However, before all this started Noah and I had a date. I know that shouldn't be post worthy, but the last time we went out just the two of us without kids was my birthday last year. The Band Perry came to Noah's store to do a signing before their concert on September 4th. The record company gave Noah and I tickets and Meet and Greet passes for their show. I was so excited. I love them!! We had such a fun time and it was so great to just be together and hold hands. The band was so nice and genuinely some of the most down to earth people I have met. They are supposed to post the Meet and Greet pictures on their website, but I haven't found it yet. If I ever do, I will post it, but here are some other pics.

Preschool!

So Savannah started preschool a few weeks ago. Here are some photos of the ensemble she put together for the first day. She loves school! She is the oldest in her class and 5th tallest. She has an amazing time.

My Savannah Banana

So I realized I never published my blog post for Savannah's Birthday. She is a very busy girl and keeps me busy too! She planned her birthday and told us that she wanted to go to open presents, play games, go to IHOP for breakfast and then walk around the mall. We had a very fun time together and she was very happy until she saw the cake I made her. At that point she went into histerics and told me i ruined her birthday (She was very tired). Eventually she remembered how much she loves frosting and I showed her how much the cake had on it.

It's been a great year for Savannah. She became a Sunbeam at church, took swimming lessons over the summer and started preschool. She has been a fun big sister to Jaxon and showed him the joys of running laps and screaming around the house. She still loves shopping. For some reason Walgreens is one of her favorite stores and she calls it "baby supermarket." Savannah loves to be silly all the time and can sure make a huge mess in seconds. Her favorite toys are stuffed animals, barbies, my little ponies and littlest pet shop. She is still a super picky eater but it's getting better. Savannah actually ate spaghetti two times in the past month! She is one smart girl and tests at a 6 year old level on many things. We love her a lot and I am so grateful every day at what an amazing blessing she is in my life. I know the next year will be even better!
