Trick R Treat

What a crazy day it has been, seriously. I had lots to do today, and still feel like I have tons more to go. I had to finish up Austin's costume, just the head piece, which was a bad experience. I figured out I am not near as talented as I thought I was. Austin decided he wanted to be a mummy for Halloween, and I thought I could make that costume. The body part wasn't to bad at all, but then there is the head piece. I started out by hot glueing strips of sheets on a ski mask. Well I got done and though wow I did a great job, so I told Austin to try it on. Well he couldn't get it over his head. I got the pieces to tight. So I cut it off and started over. This time I told him to put the head thing on and I would glue it that way. So I tried that and well, he couldn't get the mask off. At this point he was flipping out. I had to cut it all off again. I finally figured out what to do, and suceeded at it on the third attempt. LOL. Here is Austin and his mummy costume.


Hailee is going as a chicken for Halloween. I bought a costume, and I thought it was so cute. She loves trying it on and walking through the house making chicken noises. She is thinking she needs some eggs to carry around because Chickens lay eggs. Wow a two year old and her ideas.

Here are the kids together in thier costumes. Our trick or treating isn't til Friday night, but we did a trial costume try on tonight. Looking cute, HUH?

So the kids are looking forward to getting the goodies from our neighborhood and families. This weekend is going to be a crazy, fast weekend. Saturday we have a soccer game then headed to Odon for family pics. We are spending the weekend there in Odon, and going to try to get everyone fit in to our schedule. Until next time.

Cold Tuesday

So I thought I would let everyone see the finished products of our pumpkin carving. Austin's is the witch and Hailee's is a kitty. I will have to try to take the pics at night when they are lit up.

What a chilly day this has turned out to be. I was so ready to turn on our heater, but Jesse said "Put more clothes on." It hasn't been to bad in our house, since we put all that insulation in. It has usually been about 70 degrees until today. Today it was like 67 degrees in our house, but I haven't touched the heater. ha ha. We have all had sweatshirts, and pj bottoms on. We are trying to tough it out til Jesse says "Let's turn on the heater." Hope you all are keeping warm and cozy.

Pumpkin Carving Fun

This weekend has been a good weekend. Jesse has tackled a few projects around the house. The kids have played great together and with the neighbor kids. I finally got my house clean, laundry caught up, and papers graded and recorded. On Sunday we did our family pumpkin carving fun. The kids were so excited to carve them. I took a few pics of the kids, and Jesse.

Yeah Jesse really gets into the carving. He is getting really good, and usually ends up finishing everyones pumpkins.

Will it be a masterpiece?

The kids are looking forward to halloween and dressing up. Hailee is going as a chicken, and Austin is a mummy. I made Austin's costume, and I was wondering why I didn't just buy it. LOL. After lots of time I have it completed. They both look adorable in the costumes and I will post pics on Friday, so be looking for them. Hope you all had a great weekend.

Tooth #4

Well with the help of Hailee, Austin finally lost his fourth tooth. His tooth has been loose for about a month. A dog jumped up on him playing and knocked it loose. Anyway Austin wouldn't pull it or let anyone near it, and it really drove me crazy. Hailee and Austin were in my bed argueing and she went to push him away and hit his mouth. Out came the tooth... Anyone that knows Austin, knows that he hates the site of blood so his first reaction was a panic. He is so funny about that stuff. All is fine now and he is walking around with a wet washcloth in his mouth. Now he is thinking the tooth fairy will be bringing him $20. Yeah he wishes! I told him when I was a child I got maybe 50 cents. So we will have to wait and see what the tooth fairy blesses him with. :)
As for Hailee she is asking us to make one of her tooth come out. She wants to be just like Austin. So she also is walking around with a washcloth like she is in pain. These two really crack me up.
Austin also is thinking that since he made honor roll he should really get something big. We will have to see about that. I was thinking maybe 10 dollars for the honor roll but he is thinking much larger. WOW, kids.. They sure aren't cheap by no means, however I wouldn't trade my two for the world.

Busy Friday

Our outside fun times. Austin and Hailee sitting by the pumpkins that Mamaw and Papaw Wise gave them. They were so excited about them.
Austin and Hailee standing by the house. Being goofy.

Austin Michael, our little man!

Hailee Brooke, our princess!

Well the day started out with rain and it was so cold outside. I knew I had a busy day, but wow am I exhausted... Hailee and I had hair appts at noon today. Then off to McDonalds for lunch. That is always fun, right? I then had to go to WalMart, but Austin was not going... Then of course Hailee wanted to stay wherever her bubby was going to be. So Austin and Hailee went to thier friends house, my neighbors. I headed to WalMart solo thinking I could get in and out. Oh was I wrong. I thought I didn't have the kids so I would Christmas shop a little more for Hailee cause I need to even out presents. So I found two cool things that she wanted, and they were on sale. Yey! Done my other shopping, which took awhile and left walmart. After picking up the kids I tried to sneak in Hailee's toys. Well I threw them in my closet and shut the door, I didn't know where she was but I didn't see her so I figured she was playing in her room.. Ha ha ha. In walks Jesse from work, and I am on the phone but he heads to the bathroom with Hailee. She said daddy look at Hayden and Colin's toys in the closet... Then she says but I wanted that. I take off running toward the closet but it is to late.. She already seen it, and had tears in her eyes. Jesse said I didn't know that was in here and she wanted to show me Hayden and Colin's toys for Christmas. Not sure where she got that from, but they were actually hers.. She is crying so hard and said, "Mommy I wanted that." Yeah she is a proud owner of a little Mommy doll (the one with the potty, and sink). I am such a sucker... Let me tell ya though she hasn't put the doll down since she got it though. She loves it. Would of made a great Christmas gift.

We spent some time outside today around the house. The kids played with the neighbor hood kids for awhile. They love being outdoors and playing with others. Hailee takes charge and bosses all the boys around. She is actually getting really good at doing that.

After that I headed to Kroger with Hailee to grocery shop while Austin and Jesse stayed home to get some stuff done around the house. Jesse has all kinds of projects that he says he needs to get done before winter. Not so sure that that will happen but he is trying to tackle them. Hopefully this weekend won't be a rush around one. We don't have soccer this weekend due to Fall Break so at least it isn't early games or nothing. Hopefully it will be a relaxing one full of good family time. Maybe even carving some pumpkins. :)

Update!!

I went for an ultrasound yesterday. I don't know why but I just have been so nervous about everything. Jesse met me at the hospital at 345 for my appointment. I went and had a ultrasound done, and during the whole thing not a word was said... Which scared me alot. I know that they aren't the doctor but... wow give me a sign... Seriously. When I got done she said the doctor will call you with results tomorrow. Do you know how stressful that is, to not know anything? Anyways as of today everything is looking great and progressing very well. All good news... I am so thankful for that. I had to go back in and get blood drawn today to make sure my numbers are increasing and they are. Austin has been so worried about me going to the doctors and getting blood drawn, he is full of questions. Today he asked, "Mom, is this baby going to be okay?" It really touched my heart to know that my 8 year old son is so worried about this little one growing in my belly- a person he has never met yet he loves the baby already. Hailee also talks about babies daily and every night while laying in bed she raises her shirt and says see my baby in my belly. Kids are so full of amazing things, which I learn so much from. I can't say how blessed I am to have Jesse, Austin, Hailee, and the bun in the oven growing.

Expecting a little one:)

Jesse, Austin, Hailee and I want to announce that we will be adding a new addition to our family. Oh and we are way excited about it. I found out on Thursday that I am pregnant! I went and got bloodwork done and everything is looking good. My due date is the first part of June. We told the kids on Monday that we were going to have a baby. Austin is excited and wants a brother... He also informed us that he wants to name it Jake? Hailee is excited also but wants a sister really bad, so we will see. We let Austin and Hailee call and tell Bill and Cindy, and Leon and Vicki (our parents). I think they were all shocked but happy. Oh course I called and told April (Jesse's sister- the best sister in law in the world) and I think she was mad at me that I knew since Thursday and kept it a secret during our long phone conversation on Friday. Ha ha. However she was also happy for us.
Jesse and I can't wait to experience all the things that come along with being pregnant, and feel blessed. Sometimes we think we are going crazy with two kids, and now we will have three! Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
