Busy Weekend!

We had a great weekend!! My brother was here, and we did a lot of fun things. Saturday, Kendra was in a costume contest at the mall. She is a blue "Cera" dinosaur this year, a costume she picked out all by herself. It was so adorable...she got up on stage and shook her tail! Unfortunately, she did not win, and this was completely heartbreaking to her. She immediately started crying, stating "they didn't like me, why don't they like me?" She is sooo sensitive...and it was very difficult to explain to her winning vs. losing. However, we did eventually get the games to distract her! After a fun filled afternoon of game booths, we went home, ate lunch, and we all crashed for a couple hours. Then, I made the boys go grocery shopping with me...where I completed one of the tasks on my list! I bought reusable grocery bags. I plan to keep these in my trunk so I'll never forget to take them with me. After that, we went home and cooked, then the boys went to a movie. Sunday was the most fun! We went to the pumpkin patch, where we saw chickens, goats, and a kitty that would actually let Kendra pet it! Kendra's favorite wat the hay tunnel, and she went through it several times. Justin and I went with her the first time, after that she informed us that she did not need any help. We also took a hayrack ride out to the pumpkin patch and we all picked pumpkins, which we plan to carve tomorrow night. Then, after supper, we made a fire in our outdoor fireplace and made smores. It was a little chilly, but a ton of fun! Kendra immediately thought of camping and stated it would have been a perfect day to go camping. It was a great weekend!

It's A Bean!

And it has a heart beat...of 136 beats per minute!

It's been a whole month! (almost)

Wow, my mother-in-law informed me that I needed to update my blog...I didn't realize it had been so long! This one is for you, Carol!!

The biggest news in our lives lately is that I'm pregnant! Woo hoo!!! I'm 6 weeks right now, and according to babycenter.com, our baby is now the size of a lentil bean! His heart is beating 100-160 beats per minute, and his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears are forming! How exciting. Someone from work gave me a book called "Another Time Around". Basically it's a book for family's expecting their 2nd, 3rd, etc. child. I flipped through it briefly, and I think it should be pretty helpful. I know Kendra will be her wonderful self, but there are some helpful hints in there about how to prepare the older sibling(s). I've started to get "morning sickness", but it comes in the evenings for me, which makes it very difficult to sleep. I haven't actually gotten sick yet, I just get really nauseated, which is what I did with Kendra.

Justin has started travelling, and it seems to be much harder this year than it was last year, especially on Kendra. However, it will go by fast, and we'll all get used to it. We truly value our weekends together!

That's all for now, I can't think of anything else wildly exciting to post!
