Deck the Halls

Arilynn was begging to decorate for Christmas and since we're planning on going to IN for Thanksgiving, I thought we'd go ahead and then it would be ready for us to enjoy when we returned home.

I always have big plans throughout the year and then when it comes time to decorate, my plans always change. LOL! I had in mind a certain look and had a few things that I'd picked up at Goodwill and such but, my tree is very bare right now, in hopes that I come across some DIY or cheap things. So, I let the kiddos have at it with what I did have, knowing full well that my OCD would fix it after they left the room. And, yes, they noticed. HA!

The pictures are kinda dark. (I also find that since I have to host my pictures through photobucket, it makes them even a little darker. Oh well).

Maternity Pics

With the last two kiddos, I faithfully took pictures every 4 weeks starting at week 20. It sure didn't happen this time...mainly because I haven't felt good pretty much the. entire. time. Oy! No throwing up, thank the Lord, but major migraines, zero energy, dizziness-I think you get the idea. Thankfully, it's flying by.

I could not even begin to sing my hubby's praises of how much he's helped out the past few months. That dude is awesome!!! Oh, and did I mention he's incredibly smart and handy? He totally tore out the front dash (and, I do mean the whole front of the inside, all in little pieces. I may or may not have been a little nervous that it would be drivable when he got done.) of our vehicle to fix our air conditioner/heat. Yeah, we had no heat last winter or air this summer. He was able to find the parts on ebay and saved us $1323!!! God sure did well on that man's brain!! ;) 

Wow, I sure went left field...chalk it up to prego brain. 

Anyhoo, I finally got around to getting pictures. Thanks to the bicyclist-who must have felt sorry for the very large pregnant woman running after setting her timer on the camera-who stopped and took our picture. HA!

With Arilynn

Ready to add another little booger blessing to our family! Yes, I realize our outfits aren't coordinated. I did well to get us all dressed. :)

Happy Fall, Ya'll!

For those of you who know "Stinky Dog," he came in quite handy dancing on my head (Debbie). For those of you who reeeally know "Stinky Dog," you'll know that I about cringed having him on my head. However, it entertained Weston. (Not real sure why he's sitting with his tush out. LOL). 

Special thanks to the Ellis family for letting us trespass on their property while they were at work. (Hey, she said I could take pictures there any time)...
