Big news.

We have news.  Big news.  Shocking news.  Happy news.  Our little girl will be arriving in March!  (I am  due in April but because of our history, we will have a planned c-section in March).  Crazy enough, Chelsea and I are only two days apart!  My mom is freaking out about how she is going to get to both of our homes to help take care of all these new grandbabies.  Maybe I'll ship my kids up to Montana to live with Grandpa Jim for a few weeks.  Or, maybe I'll just beg my sweet in-laws for help :)

 18 weeks.  I think by your 5th pregnancy, you body just automatically knows how to "expand".

Kevin is totally jealous of me.

I have lots of Dr.'s appointments these days with my OB/GYN and my Perinatologist (high-risk pregnancy Doc).  Everything looks great so far.  We are earnestly praying for a safe arrival for our little one and cannot wait to have her here with us.  (Well, Meg can't wait,  Ian is very disappointed that he's not getting another brother and Hunter could care less.)

Halloween

I bet you never would have guessed that Meg wanted to be a princess.  Cinderella, that is.  We didn't have to spend a dime on Halloween costumes this year. (nice.)  

 Ian (in last years costume-yipee!) a fighter pilot.  Very handsome.

 Hunter was a cowboy for our first few Halloween events (Pumpkin patch festival and our church party).  Of course, by the time Halloween came around we had managed to lose exactly 1/2 of the items that made up his costume (1 boot, cowboy hat, and red handercheif).  So, we had to resort to a BYU football player.  He wears this helmet all the time anyway, so it wasn't too much of a change for him!

I cannot believe how hard it is to get a decent picture of all three of the kids.  

 The carnival at the school.  Hunter is really into fishing.

 Meg's "other" costume was "Ladybug Girl".  She loves the Ladybug Girl books, so fortune smiled upon us when a friend gave us a box of clothes and this costume was inside!

Picking out the perfect pumpkin took a LONG time.  We have very discerning tastes.

We had a party at our house that ended up being just delightful.  Everyone brought appetizers, the men took the kids trick or treating while the women chatted (and ate!).  This is a picture of the kids AFTER their trick or treating  . . . exhausted and not happy about a picture.  Nevertheless, the mothers were insistent.  The party was much more fun than this photo suggests :)
