Halloween 2009

McKenna, her best friend Sierra and Calvin 2009 They look so cute!

Will & I (yes that baby bump is getting bigger...we took a vote last night and I think we might go with Sophia/Sophie but one can never be sure we still like Lauren too! :o)

Calvin took a very close up of us but Will looks too handsome for me not to post the picture so just look at him. :o)

The girls enjoying their candy!

ARGG me hearties.....checking out his loot!

Today was busy we cleaned house, kids had friends over to play, Will helped a family move and had an inspection and I went to see my Grandma Glenna who was flown to a Mesa Hospital late Thursday night with heart problems today. She is doing better and should have test results tomorrow we are all praying that it is just her battery in her pace maker that needs replacing. We were worried she had another stroke but she did not.

Will took the kids Trunk or Treating at church and then we went to a great Halloween Birthday Party at the Nolan's House! (forgot my camera) Will and I didn't dress up as you can see but enjoyed everyone else's costumes! The food and company was great and we had a great time! Happy Birthday to Tiffany and thanks for putting on such a great party! :o)

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!

Baby Girl's Nursery & Names

Or at least our inspiration for her Nursery of course it won't be identical but I would like to try and duplicate this somewhat. I love the light pink walls with black and white. bedding.

We have a black rocker and ottoman already and Will says he will sand and paint the crib and changing table to black.

Now if we could just decide on a name.....Will really likes Lauren or Olivia and I really like Sophia and I like Lauren as well but am not 100% sold on anything since Will doesn't really like Sophia or Sophie but says I can name her that if I want to. My Mom thinks we should name her Summer because she likes the name but thinks it is funny Summer are right and some are wrong with our last name thing. McKenna wanted to name her Alexa which is pretty but my cousin who just had a little girl named her Alexa. Calvin likes all of the names listed but came up with Lamarie to add to them which is a big no but funny. It's hard to find names that haven't already been used when you have a big family like mine (50 first cousins as my Mom is one of 10 kids). So I'm thinking her name might be Sophia Lauren or Lauren Sophia or Lauren Olivia and not sure if we will spell it Sophia or Sofia.

Any suggestions? It wasn't this difficult with McKenna or Calvin. :o)

Calvin's Principal Pride Award & Baby Bump Pics

Calvin was awarded today with straight A's and a Principal's Award for having them! Right on Calvin our big 2nd grader!!! (McKenna is on Honor Roll with all A's & B's at her new charter school but they haven't presented her with an award or anything yet) :o)

WAY TO GO CALVIN!

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

Here's my baby bump at 23 weeks along

It all depends on the angle and the shirt if you can see that precious bump but yes I do have it...trust me! I feel big but will get huge by the end. I've gained 7 lbs to prove it. She kicks every couple of hours especially at night. We can't wait to hold her in 3.5 months! :O)

Four Generations

Yesterday we took a few snap shots of My Grandma Glenna, My Mom Sherri, Me and my daughter McKenna = four generations! McKenna is 11 and you can see tall for her age! I'm 22 weeks or 5.5 months pregnant now. My Mom & Gma came for a week and we had a blast! We did what all girls do best....eat, talk, laugh and shop! We hooked Grandma up with some new beautiful fashions for Fall, Mom with a few new dresses and several pair of must have shoes for the cooler season, I got some maternity clothes as hip as elastic waist bands come of coarse :o) and McKenna got a hot pink new light jacket that she adores. We even got Calvin a couple of new outfits. Had lots of yummy food and treats too! The kids loved being in the kitchen with Grammy and Great Grammy! It's amazing how quickly the time goes by when you are having fun. Will finished his last week of school on Friday night so we didn't get to see him much but I know he too enjoyed having these two sweeties here for the week!
