Cowgirl Lily

Lily went to a Halloween party with her friend Rachel and got to dress up in Rachel's cowgirl costume.

Weekend at Gatlinburg!

We had a great weekend in Gatlinburg with our good friends! It was a great short trip. Here are just a few pictures.

I uploaded a few more pictures to a web album.

Weekend

Our weekend was jam packed! Jim & I volunteered Friday, Saturday & Sunday for the Halloween at the Zoo. We do this every year and have a blast doing it. Year before last, I was volunteering at just about 2 1/2 months pregnant, so definitely a difference with this years 8 months. I survived and had a great job though!

On Sunday before the zoo, we took kids to the pumpkin patch. Photos above are the best I got. I need the pictures from everyone else because I must have been facing the sun at all times :) The ones above are of Mark feeding a goat. He loved it! Lily had fun making sand art and feeding the animals as well. They also went through a corn maze and climbed up the barrels of hay.

Family Love!

Thank you, Cindy for sending this pictures to me!!! Here are some from Lily's camping trip!

I love this picture...my child is always eating.

Mark missed Lily SO much, he was SO happy to see her when she got home!!!

Saturday at Loveless Cafe

On Saturday, Mark and I joined Laurie, Brent & the kids for fun at Loveless Cafe's Fall Festival. There they had bluegrass music, free biscuits, petting zoo, horse rides, pottery, face painting, etc. Mark had a great time with the animals. Lily was having fun camping with Grandma & Papa! I'll send some photos of her if I get some from Cindy :)

After the festival, Jim & I met up and did some registering for baby items.

Happy Tuesday!

What's going on Today? Well, Lily had to get two teeth pulled and one filled this morning putting us at the dentist for roughly 2 1/2 hours. She is home now eating some Ramen noodles and watching Spongebob. She did really well.

Mark is at the daycare, happy as ever. He turned 17 months old on Friday. He is as rambunctious as ever. He is babbling a whole lot and has great motor skills.

Today is Jim's Birthday! Happy Birthday! We celebrated with Jim & Reno at Red Robin (Yum!) on Saturday and tonight we'll be going to his favorite restaurant, Omni Hut. We only frequent that restaurant on his birthday, so he is really excited. Judy will be joining us there.

I have my 30 week appointment on Thursday. I've been having lots of contractions since last week, so we'll see what she says about that. It seems like the more kids you have, the sooner things start happening. Either that or the fact that I haven't known I was pregnant for very long. Bebe is kicking away. She can now reach my rib cage and has lots of fun there. I can't complain though! 9 weeks left!

I'm going to try to get a Halloween picture taken and out in the mail next week.

Happy Friday!

Things are great so far today on this dreery Friday! We made two placements at work (i.e. we found an extra 2 people a job today) we get to go to lunch and celebrate a birthday and after work Jim & I get to have an adult night alone tonight. Lily & Mark get to have a fun night at Grandma & Grandpa's. I'm getting this weekend started off the right way! Hopefully the rain will stop so by tomorrow Jim & I can go to the Christmas flea market in Nashville.

I hope everyone has a fabulous Friday!

I have the most awesome-est friends Ever!

10 weeks to go!

(Thank you, Kate!)

Definitely can tell I"m pregnant with a girl now...Puffy face Haha!
Pregnancy is going well! I'm uncomfortable with two pinched nerves, but I deal with it just fine. It's just temporary (hopefully). Besides that and being fat, I am having a very uneventful pregnancy. At least now you can tell I'm pregnant, so instead of having the ones who are afraid to ask me if I'm pregnant because they're not sure if I just have extra baby weight from the baby I"m holding, I now get the "You will have your hands full" comments. People are funny. I just tell them that I will enjoy the ride!

Family Pictures!

This weekend was a little rough. Mark got sick on Wednesday evening and ran a fever until the weekend. Lily caught his virus and was under the weather herself throughout the weekend. We had pictures scheduled on Sunday and both kids seemed to be o.k. at this time, but you can see in their little eyes that they are just not feeling their best :) Thanks to Kate for taking fabulous pictures though!
