Growing?

My "little" boy just ate 6 chicken nuggets and 2 corndogs for lunch...not the healthiest combo but man alive are we in trouble when he gets to be a teenager. (And yes, I am talking about Benenett).

Fall Yummies

I love fall, and living in Vegas you really don't get "fall" like we did in Indiana. So- what better way to celebrate then go to Trader Joes and get some Pumpkin Butter! We stopped by and picked some up after a Dr. appointment today (along with some other necessities) If you have never had any you HAVE to stop by and pick some up, especially if you like the pumpkinny taste of anything!! (Pumpkinny isn't a word....but I think it should be!)

ps- OCT 1st is pumpkin muffin day....yummy yummy

32 Weeks

Here is the 32 week mug shot...and yes I am growing more and more every day!

The highlight of last weeks appointment was when the Dr. said "wow you are growing a chunker in there"...and then continued to question my due date. He thinks they are off on my due date (surprise?) He thinks this little guy will come sooner than the expected arrival (not too sad) especially since I am measuring 4 weeks early (36 to be exact).

Anyway- the curtains.... I got the idea from Traci -and I love the way they turned out! They are actually drop cloths from home depot...and ran me a total of $20. AND they were already hemmed and ready to hang I just had to put a stitch on top! (woohoo for easy curtains!)

Being Crafty

I have been busy trying to put things together in our home before little boy makes his debut- here are a couple updates!
Laundry Room\
I painted our laundry room bright yellow...makes me just a bit happier doing laundry! I also got baskets to put all cleaning stuff in...makes it look a bit more organized!


And the picture- I found the frame and touched it up, then put some bright paper in it...super easy and cheap!
Curtains-
I finally bucked up and made curtains for our family room. I couldn't stomach paying $100+ for curtains when I knew that I wouldn't be 100% happy...who really does paying that much?? I found this little shortcut- made these puppies... and you would never believe how much I paid...no really big deal here!


I am 32 weeks pregnant on Monday (measuring 36 according to my Dr.) and will be posting a pic...maybe I will give my shortcut secret on Monday if interested!

Mission Call!

My little brother got his mission call this morning- he is going to the Argentina Buenos Aires South Mission and reports to the MTC on January 27th!! It was such a neat moment to hear him opening the call...we all got goosebumps! We are just so excited for him and know that he will make a great missionary!! We love you DREWY!!!

Chubby hands

Bennett is still a wee bit in that "baby chub" stage although he has grown up so much! This was reaffirmed to me when we got home from church last week- although he dresses like quite the little dude-

He still has his chubby babe hands!!

And that is even better with that cute ring on his finger!

Look-a-like

We have heard that this little girl looks like a "Peterson"...and she does. She looks just like her aunties!!

And this little boy...well if you can't see the resemblance he looks JUST like my side of the family. My brother and dad were here about a week ago- we went to the aquarium and I told both boys to smile at me so I could get a pic.

Seriously? They both gave me the exact same facial expression! It was so much fun having them here- my little brother just turned in his mission papers so we are anxiously waiting to hear where he will be going!! Bennett is a little sad to have "Dewey" gone (his real name is Drew) and won't let anyone sit in the chair where "Dewey" sat while he stayed with us. We are looking forward to having everyone here for Thanksgiving!! (If Drew is still around!!)
