Prego Update

Some sweet friends threw me a baby shower. I always feel strange being the center of attention but I realized this is probably the last time I ever will be so I tried to enjoy it. We were so blessed with gifts of diapers and other essentials. We have been given over 2,000 diapers! With the twins and Ellie that will probably last 2 and 1/2 months. Crazy. Thank you to everyone who was so generous! We sure appreciate it!

He I am at 36 1/2 weeks. Jeff says this pic does not do my huge belly justice and that I am actually bigger. Thanks honey.... heehee. All my pregnancy clothes are too small except for two skirts and two pair of stretch pants. I almost bought a 30$ pair of pants the other day but couldn't bring myself to do it to only wear for a few weeks. Jeff says I should have and then I would have gone into labor the next day.
Everything is still going well. I am already dialated to a 3 and 50% effaced. I have contractions but they are not regular and only sometimes really painful. The nights are very hard to sleep since with every contraction I am trying to decide if it was more intense than the last one and how long it has been and etc etc... You know how it goes. I actually have never gone into labor on my own, even with having had three kids so I am a bit nerve racked. (I do not want to go so far and have the babies at home or in the car). Well there you go. Send up some prayers for me to endure!

A friend brought over a healthy Halloween snack. As I shut the door when she left Ammon said "why would she bring a healthy treat?" Like it was the strangest thing on earth. But after tasting a juicy fresh tangerine he was in love and so thankful she brought them. He then said to me "I want you to spend ALL your money on all the tangerines in the world so I can eat them all up...they are sooo good!"

Eleanor enjoying Brandon's time out a lot more than he was!

Walking with her push toy! She will get so mad and scream if something gets in her way. No one but us sees that side of her very often but she does have a little feisty personality if things are not how she wants it!

Halloween weekend

The kids at the Tri ward Trunk or Treat

Don't mind the huge pregnant lady haha

The Harts came for the weekend. It was a whirlwind of fun! We love these guys.

What are we up to?

Ammon is getting better at reading. He has to read 20 mins a day and Brandon sometimes enjoys sitting and listening to him. Animal books are still his favorite but last week he discovered the Goosebump series. Even though it is above his level he is excited to read them (with help)

Brandon looking so grown up and nice for church one day

Eleanor ( 15 mths) with her favorite person.....Dadadad. She can now say dada and bub bye. I am working on getting her to sign but she really hates it and lets out a very defiant growl or scream when I try to get her to do it or even do it myself. She is not walking on her own yet but loves her two push toys and can even turn them around while standing holding on with one hand. She will get it but is just very cautious.

The boys and Jeff working on a car for the ward pine wood derby. Their car got second in the race with no rules. They attached the motor of a pull back toy tot he wood frame and it worked really well until the wheels fell off.
