Family Pics 2009

So we decided to do our family pictures before the arrival of baby boy number 2 since he was coming so close to December and I didn't really want to have to try and find something to wear a week after having him so when he gets here we are going to do some of him and Kaleb to put on our Christmas card. We had these done last month by our good friend Jessica. It was a definite adventure getting Kaleb to hold still and some what smile for the family picture he of course did fine posing with his dad and when it was just him. Jessica did an amazing job and still got some great ones of all 3 of us! Thanks again Jessica! It is a bit of a picture overload but I loved all of these so I had to post them! Enjoy!

Baby Update!

So I had a Dr's appointment today. Everything is looking great I am measuring about a week and half bigger than I should be so he might be a bigger baby but we won't really know until it is a little closer. Today she did schedule my induction for the 30th of this month, I will go in the night before for the softener that I have had to have with all of my pregnancies which helps me dilate and my cervix to move in to place then Monday morning they will start the pitocin! So only 24 DAYS left! We are very excited to meet this baby boy whose name will hopefully be agreed upon in the hospital!

Happy Halloween!

Halloween this year was lots of fun with Kaleb. He wasn't so happy with his Lion costume at first but after some struggling he would leave the hood part of it on. WE definitely got a lot of use out of it he wore it 4 different times since we did 3 trunk or treats and then went trick or treating on Halloween. This year Tim was able to get the night off so he could come with us so I decided we should all dress up so since we were using Milo's lion costume when he was about Kaleb's age, I decided Tim should be scarecrow and I would be Dorothy. It was fun having us all be dressed up. Kaleb loved walking to each door Saturday night we did carry him for some of it, but I think his favorite part was when they would let him pick a candy most the time he would try and go for a second or third piece. I didn't last as long as I thought I would my feet started to hurt so we did about 2 streets but Kaleb got plenty of treats. It was a very fun night and I am so glad Tim was able to be with us.

Tim made a pretty great Scarecrow

Carving Pumpkins!!!

Last night we decided to get our pumpkins carved up for Halloween. I was very excited to do this since it was Kaleb's first time I was very eager to see what he thought of what was inside of the pumpkins. Well he liked looking at the pumpkin guts but when it came to having him try and touch it he was not at all interested in it. So I of course wanted him to feel what it felt like I stuck his hand in it and put a seed in his hand, he hated it very much that he took the scoop and tried to scoop it off his hand. He did enjoy watching Tim pull everything out and put it in the trash, and he loved using the poker thing to poke random holes in the pumpkin he did lose interest half way threw and played with his ball and grandma Julie. Tim finished carving and my mom found us candles to put in them and we took them out and lit the candles. Kaleb thought it was so interesting how they glowed he kept oohing and ahhing it was so funny to watch him. It was tons of fun starting a tradition with Kaleb I look forward to having more of these wonderful family moments!

Long over due Update!

Well we have had an exciting couple of months. Tim started back at school the end of August he is taking 15 credits this semester but it sure feels like 18 credits, but by May he will have his Associates and then only a year and half more to get his Bachelor's, Yeah! We moved into a new apartment we are pretty much settled in and enjoying are new ward and apartment. We helped my mom move out and into a new place. Tim's younger brother David moved out here from Chicago and is staying with us until he can find a place of his own. Kaleb is now 18 months he had his check up and weighs 24lbs (20%) and is 33 inches (80%). Yeah for nursery he went on Sunday in the new ward and loved it. Only thing is it was the one Sunday I forgot to make sure we had diapers so of course Kaleb pooped and Tim had to run home a get a diaper so I will never forget to double check for diapers! I am now on the last stretch of this pregnancy which has gone by pretty quick my Dr thinks he is going to be bigger than Kaleb my only hope is not too much bigger! Everything is looking good for the baby and me. We are just way excited for him to get here! Kaleb is going to be such a great big brother.

Way back in August before Tim started back at school we tried to enjoy Tim's time at home so we went to the park alot, Kaleb got really good at going down the slides all by himself . His favorite was of course the very biggest one, we also went on lots of walks as a family. Robyn and Robbie also took us all bowling Kaleb loved it since it required a ball and all!

Always has to have a Ball

Bowling!

September was pretty boring we just pretty much moved and missed having Tim around all the time. But we know it will be worth it once he has his degree!

October so far we have enjoyed the cooler weather. Last weekend we went with Kim, Milo, Chan, and Grandma Julie to the pumpkin patch up in Layton you Pay $5 Kaleb was free. you go on a hayride and they take you out to the pumpkins and you get to pick any one you want even Kaleb got one. It was tons of fun Kaleb loved the tractor and all the Balls(pumpkins). Last night we had our family pictures done we decided to not wait for the new baby since I really didn't want to have pictures done only a week after having him. So when he gets here he will gets his done to go on the Christmas card. Getting a 18 month old to hold still long enough to get a good shot was not very easy or fun but we had a great photographer who ended up getting more great shots than I thought possible! Thanks so much Jessica you are awesome! We will post them as soon as they are done! That is all that we have been up to these last months hopefully now that we are settled in our new place I will be better about updating!

A New Nephew!

So my older sister Robyn had her first child Yesterday early morning! We are so excited he is here and healthy. We went up to the hospital last night to meet Braxton Lee Simpson weighing in at 6lbs 11oz 2o inches he has some blondish hair he is very cute and so little ,he is a very relaxed baby. Kaleb held him for a few seconds and then was more interested in playing with the buttons on the bed poor Robyn was a trooper and let him playhe also loved playing with the balloons! Both Robyn and Robbie are doing great just tired! A funny fact so all 3 of my moms grandsons have weighed the exact same crazy huh! Maybe baby boy #2 for us will continue that theme!

On a side note I have been awful at updating so I will try a get an update posted later!
