30 weeks down...

...10 to go!

Besides having a hard time getting over this cold this past week, this pregnancy has been going great. I'm getting into the "big and uncomfortable" stage, and I definitely feel it. That and being tired all the time, but that is normal at this stage, too. We are getting more and more excited to have a little baby girl soon, even though sometimes it doesn't seem real to me yet that we're going to have another baby in a few months. I'm sure the reality check will hit me soon enough!

Happy Halloween!

We went to our ward's Trunk-or-Treat activity tonight, and Josh got to show off his mad ninja skills. Adam took him around and I manned the candy giveaway at our car. Josh did well for 7 or 8 cars, holding his candy bucket and saying "thank you" (he hasn't quite conquered "trick-or-treat" just yet), but then he lost interest pretty quickly. He sure was cute, though, even if he wasn't a fan of his headband.




Let's go get some candy, Daddy!

Happy Halloween everyone!

MMMM...mmmm...

That must have been one good cookie!

Are you ready for some football?

Why yes, I think we are. Especially now that Joshua has his new sweatshirt.

The crappy thing about watching the NFL in Texas is that they mostly show the Texan and Cowboys games. Boo! The only merchandise available in the stores is for the Cowboys. Boo! I miss being able to watch the Seahawks every week, even if they aren't doing very well this year. Just because I live in Texas now, I'm not about to become a Cowboys fan. I asked my brother if they were still selling Seahawks sweatshirts at Walmart, and he was nice enough to send one to Joshua. (Thanks again!)

Now, if only the weather would cool down some more, it might actually get to be sweatshirt weather :)

He says it better than I could

A friend of mine posted a link to this article on Facebook yesterday, and I wish I had read it before I did my post yesterday. I love it. It seems like everyone in this area was against letting their children listen to President Obama's speech yesterday, and that just boggles my mind. I really like the points this guy makes in his article about how not every president was perfect, but there are things about each of them that make them a good role model. President Obama is a great role model for the power of education and working hard, and I think we can appreciate that aspect of his life, even if we don't agree with all of his policies.
