Ellie's Halloween Party!

Ellie and Brynn in their costumes!

Here are the yummy treats we made. Jack-o-lantern pizzas and sugar cookies...YUM!!!


Brynn went to her first Halloween party of the year yesterday! My friend Melissa has a daughter who is Brynn's age (her name is Ellie and they are best buds) and she decided to throw a little Halloween party for the kids at her house. It was so fun to dress Brynn up in her costume! We can't wait for more parties next week and trick or treating!!

California trip

Well, this weekend was the last of all of our big trips! I had fun in California, but am kind of relieved to be home and done with all of the traveling!! I am completely exhausted! Here is a run-down of our trip:
Thursday: Left for California and drove all day to the LA area. We did take a couple shopping and food breaks along the way, and got to our hotel at around 9 pm.

Friday: Went to Six Flags for the day. This was fun, but kind of a drag for me since I couldn't ride any of the "fun" rides. I did get to ride some kiddie rides with Brynn though :)

Saturday: Drove to San Fransisco (about a 5 1/2 hour drive). That night was the highlight of the trip for me. We went to see Wicked!!!! I loved it!! I was kind of sad that Jesse missed it (he had to stay at the hotel with Brynn), but am so glad that my father in law took Adrienne and I to see it. AMAZING!!!!

Sunday: Drove into the city to see the Golden Gate Bridge, and then headed home! It was about a 12 hour drive, and I was so glad to be done riding in the car!!!!

Here are some pictures from our trip...mostly from Six Flags.


Maybe we should put something like this in our new bathroom :)


Brynn was NOT a fan of the Carousel!!



Nap time, she was exhausted!!!
Brynn is also terrified of any type of character like this...poor thing!!

And the verdict is...

YES!!! I am pregnant! It feels kind of crazy to be going through this all over again, but we are excited to have another baby. I am 12 weeks along, and due on April 24th. So our kids will be about exactly 2 years apart! So now it is time for me to get a little more serious about this whole potty training thing so that we don't have 2 kids in diapers at the same time. One thing that I am not excited about is how my belly is showing SOOO much faster this time!! I think I am about the size that I was at about 16 or 18 weeks with Brynn...kind of depressing! But I keep telling myself that it is all worth it.

Here is a picture of the candy bars that we handed out to Jesse's family to share the news. We actually door bell ditched them at their houses and made them try to figure out who it was from. But I think the Hershey bar gave it away!
And here are a few pictures of Brynn from a few days ago:) She is getting so big!!

Brynn's first surgery

Brynn got tubes in her ears this past Thursday because she gets way too many ear infections!! Her is a picture of her right before the surgery in her little hospital gown. She looked so cute! Overall, things went pretty well. It was very sad to have the nurse take her away from me and to hear Brynn screaming for me :( But she was only away from me for a bout 25 minutes, so it was pretty quick! I am just hoping that she doesn't get any more ear infections. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
