had my glucose test done on monday. YUM. i gotta be honest, i don't mind the drink at all. It tastes like hawaiian punch (i drink the red kind). Not too shabby.  I'm hoping i dont get a call back but, i wouldn't be shocked if i did. oh well, i guess we'll see.


so i got a early christmas present. eeeeek! you might be seeing some higher quality picture around here soon. i got a sweet new camera.  Nothing fancy, but clearly going to be better than my phone. haha.
thank you husband for the camera!! :)

sorry about that. the week just flew by it was crazy, but crazy fun. :)

so here is a little update for ya.
highlights from our thanksgiving

• yummy food

• competitive family members
• great deserts
• having fun with family.

i love my family! 

 i was in charge of making potatoes for the feast.

note to self: my range is too tiny for three pots

and 20lbs is too many.

 put of the tree the day after thanksgiving

we have the grown up tree and the kid tree.

they've been having a great time decorating it everyday, over and over and over again.

oh Christmas tree.

 yesterday was my nephew rigden's 3rd birthday!

he invited us to celebrate his big day at bounce u.

the girls had so much fun and they were wiped out when we got home.

they could barely stay awake to eat their dinner.

family picture

 

 

Sunday was family picture day.

my mom and dad like to do a Christmas card with a picture of each family. so we all went to take a few pictures of each family.

 

this is our shot.

well one of the best, i think.

we didn't attempt anything fancy.

we just stood there and took a few shots and were done.

same pose. hahaha.

i really want lots of family pictures after Camden arrives

so nothing fancy this time around.

and i'll probably send out Easter cards instead of Christmas cards.

 

 

i'm glad Evelyn is half my height now

so she could hide my huge belly.

 

 

i can't wait to see how every ones pictures turned out

all my nieces and nephews looks so cute!

and we all unintentionally coordinated.

i love it when that happens.

 

 

i love how grown up my girls look.

im glad there will be an actual baby in the family soon

i miss having little babies to hold.

totally random

i pretty much die with laughter every time i see this picture!!!

and there is my totally random for this glorious Monday. :)

6 months

i had a feeling yesterday would be an interesting day. it did not disappoint.

evelyn had a field trip to a local farm and we both decided she would have way more fun if mommy and amelia were not there to get in her way. so i dropped her off and was going to go shop at a thrift store just up the street till i needed to go pick her up. well i didn't get too. so sad. :(

my van totally choked and died in the middle of the parking lot, ugh. yeah and the guy that was staring at me to move my van out of the way, it would have gone faster if you would have helped me! thanks but no thanks. it was interesting to try and get the van moving but once i got momentum it wasn't so bad. he asked if i needed help after the fact, yeah good timing. haha. thanks.

i'm thankful that my parents could come and save me, and my mom for picking up evelyn from her field trip. my van is now fixed, it was a gas valve issue, and i'm so glad it was fixed and we didn't blow up. it could have happened. yikes.

i'm grateful that the Lord is mindful of me and my children and i'm grateful i listened to a feeling to turn at a different spot so i would stall in the parking lot instead of the middle of traffic. it was a long day of waiting, but glad things all worked out.

oh and i made it to 6 months of cooking this baby. yay.

How far along? 24 Weeks
Maternity clothes?  yes, but not fitting quite right. this guy is sitting low and awkward. meh.
Sleep: if i could sleep all day i would. i am loving sleep. i am so tired all the time.
Best moment this week: waking up and finally feeling pregnant.
Miss Anything? my favorite pair of jeans. we will meet soon jeans, i promise.
Movement: this dude is always on the move.
Food cravings: liquid chocolate. hahaha. chocolate milk, and hot chocolate.
Anything making you queasy or sick: not so much anymore. i'm pretty good.
Have you started to show yet: yeppers
Labor Signs: yeah.flipping.right....next
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: happy just tired
Looking forward to: i don't even know. thankgiving food and christmas treats. hahaha. always about food with me. oh and i'm hoping to get a nesting kick like yesterday. i need to get my house clean and i have no motivation yet. :)

what evelyn thinks

last night as i was falling asleep i thought that today would be a good day to do a small interview with evelyn about her thoughts on thanksgiving.

just a few simple questions.

i need to interview her more often. she is a silly girl and makes me laugh with some of the things that come out of her mouth.


i hope you enjoy this video. maybe next time i'll be more pro and use an actual camera instead of my phone.

 

 

 

most loved post of the year

okay maybe not the most loved but i'm going to say it is. children dressed up in costumes is the best thing ever!! i love it so much.

so first off. Amelia transformed from Dorothy into Cinderella. She was adorable as Dorothy, but she loved being Cinderella the best! She fell asleep in her costume and still wont let me take it off her. haha. what a cutie. Evelyns cat whiskers aren't coming off as easily as i hoped either. oh well, i don't think she'll mind going to school with whiskers on her face today.

Is it totally lame of me as a mother that this was Amelia's first time actually trick or treating? She's been to a trunk or treat but like actually door to door. She's almost 3! i'm kinda glad it was though, she understood and i didn't have to push i stroller she could do it all on her own.


the pictures you've all been waiting for.
we met at my grandparents house with my family and we got some pictures together then we did some trick or treating in their neighborhood. it was awesome.

her kitty cat roar face.

 my adorable little princess

 

 love my little princess and cute kitty

 

 my oldest nephews easton & tillman.

 my sweet nephew Rigden
