Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving this year, nobody was sick (note: last years post) and it was alot of fun! We were with the Wakefield's and in years past that meant really quiet and low key...not anymore! With 9 adults and 10 grand kids, it got a little loud and crazy but so much fun. There was deep fried turkey (delicious), homemade rolls, lots of pie, game playing, and lots of lounging while the kids went downstairs to play...

6 1/2 Months...

This is my belly at about 26 weeks...you luckily can't see it in this picture, but I've already got the turkey-timer belly button. I had it really bad when I was pregnant with Tate. Everything so far is going good, I don't feel the best, but she's growing right on track and she kicks and moves around a ton which is great! 3 1/2 months left to go...

Halloween week.

This past week was very busy with fun Halloween activities...none of which Tate would put on any sort of costume. He's in a phase where he doesn't want to be dressed period, so he usually spends his day in just a diaper. So there was definitely no way he was going to wear any costume and there are some things that just aren't worth a fight. That said, we had a really fun week with cousins going to a primary Halloween party, carving and painting our pumpkins, going to my mom's library to see all the school kids in the parade, a party at grandma Love's, and of course Halloween night...making "shots" at the ward party...he didn't even care about the candy, just the games.Tate loved painting the pumpkins more than carving them. He was so proud of his paint job in the end even though it had turned into a big brown blobAll of our decorated pumpkins...we are amazing artists.
All the cousins at Grandma Wakefield's library....notice everyone dressed up except for Tate in his jammies..
Did I mention Edward Cullen stopped by my house on Friday to say hello? I am one lucky lady
Jord went to the Utes blackout game, so me and Tate headed to my parents house and my mom came trick-or-treating with us. I was at least able to get him to wear his spider beanie, which is better than nothing I suppose. But his favorite part of the whole night was helping my dad answer the door and hand out candy.
