Basket Diving

 My amazing and beautiful handsome son is growing so fast....

 He gets in to EVERYTHING!

Quite literally! 

But, it is one of the many reasons I love this boy. He keeps me on my toes!

Jello-icious

 Rowynn's reaction to Jell-O

 There's a slight smile!

 More mama, MORE!!

I don't think he's too sure about that texture! He took many bites but it was the same face after each bite.

I love this child!

WWW- week 11

Well, this has been fun while it lasted but I will NOT be telling you my weight anymore.

You see, over the next 9 months (actually 10, I'm not sure why they lie) I will be GAINING weight not losing.

Yes, your conclusion to the above sentance is correct.

I AM PREGNANT!!!!

We weren't going to start trying for another 3 months but I guess God was ready for us to venture down this road a few months earlier than expected!

Please just keep this pregnancy and the health of the baby in your prayers. And if you feel compelled, also pray that the Lord bless us with another baby girl  :-) 

I love you all for the support that you have given over the last 3 months. I am going to try to keep my weight gain to a MINIMUM with this one. Especially since I didn't make it back down to my pre-pregnancy weight before getting pregnant. Oh well, healthy eating and lots of exercise should do the trick!

Carmichael's Pumpkin Patch

This year's trip to Carmichael's was the BEST! We finally got to take one of our babies to the pumpkin patch. Though Rowynn had no clue what it was, it was pretty special for Rusty and I.

Of course no parent can go to the pumpkin patch without taking a gazillion pictures and I am definitely not the exception!! Be prepared for MANY pictures!!

 He sure does love his daddy!

Maybe when I learn photoshop, I can edit out the rash on Rowynn's face! Poor guy.

 I loved the vibrant colors of these pumpkins. The array of different pumpkins, gourds and squash were really neat. If I would have been up to standing in line I may have brought a few home.

 Relaxing in the pumpkins!

 So much fun!

 Our happy little family

 I love this face! That is Rowynn's fit face and it is the cutest thing on earth!

 Rowynn is an animal lover just like his mama...

 he likes to giggle at them and try to touch them.

 He was super happy to get to look at these cute little goats....

and he finally got his fingers on it!

I'm excited for next years trip! There is not telling what will be in store for us. Rowynn will get to ride the pony's and go through the mazes and feed the animals! He brings so much joy to our lives and we count our blessings every day.

Cute and Spooky

Rowynn got a chance to dress up as the CUTEST monkey when we headed out to Discoveryland's Camp Cute and Spooky Halloween event. Thanks to our AWESOME friends, Shaun and Katie, who invited us.

At Camp Cute and Spooky, they set up pony rides, a jump house, a maze, a trick-or-treat path, face painting, music, food, a petting zoo and a little show. It is really neat to see all the adorable kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes. I can't wait to do it again next year! I loved it.

Sadly, we had yet to buy a Halloween costume for Rowynn. Yes, I am neglecting my poor second child. Seeing that I bought Abigayl's in early September for her Halloween! Thankfully my friend Kimberlee had lent me 3 huge tubs full of clothes. One of the articles within those tubs was this super cute monkey costume.

It barely fit but by golly we got him in it!! I let him crawl around the house while daddy got ready and then figured out what a sweaty mess the poor guy was when we loaded him up in the car.... in the costume.... monkey hood and all! (No worries, he didn't have to suffer! I pulled the hood off so his head could get some air.)

It was probably a relief for the little guy when we stepped out of the car and into the cooler night air!

No, I'm not a bad mom. I put socks on him about 5 minutes after this picture was taken.

I know he doesn't look all that thrilled in the above pictures but he had just woken up from his short nap in the car. For running on not much sleep, I was pretty proud of my little roly-poly. 

Rowynn and I had to get a picture with our best buddies. I have a feeling these two boys are going to be more like family the whole time Rowynn is growing up. I look forward to every minute!

Baby Proof

Let the baby proofing begin!! After a few bumps and bruises, we felt it was high time to make this house work of all of us!

 Here is a prime example of why we needed baby proofing....

 ta da, Rowynn caught red handed!

 Bwaahahaha.... no more cabinet raids for you, little man!!

Then he showed me that I was the fool because he found a new toy to play with and this toy was even MORE dangerous than a measly cabinet.

 Hmmm.. I wonder if this poky thing hurts?!

 I'm so cute. You know you can't get on to me! Who has the last laugh now, sucka!!

Ya, I'm talking to you! You heard me, sucka!

Excuse me while I go show my son who is boss in this house.

(((((smooch))))))

I win!
