LA again

We went to LA last weekend. Here is a somewhat random assortment of pictures from the trip.

We stayed with my Mom and Jim first.

We also got to see Jason. We drove into Long Beach and had lunch with him. Micah was impressed with Jason's work. Jason raised up the car behind them while we were there.

Micah liked running around outside.

Grandma made awesome pancakes.

And the jacuzzi is always fun.

We also got to see Pam and Dean. Dean is such a cutie pie and Micah and Dean get along good. (Except when Micah bashed Dean in the head with a wooden frog. We can see the red mark between his eyes in the first photo.) But besides that they did great. : )

Cute!



I somehow didn't get any pictures with my Dad and Susan or Jake or Alex so here is a shout out to you all. : ) Love you guys and see you at Christmas.

It's been awhile

We are still alive and well although a bit busy and I have been tired so blog time has turned into nap time most often. Here are some pics of us pumpkin patching with Michelle, Madeline and James. We went on the train, pet the bunnies and ran through the hay tunnel.





Another day we went to the pumpkin patch with Lena, Tola and Aaron. They are our next door neighbors. We like them and have been doing a lot of stuff with them.


We also went to Disney on Ice. I think I had more fun watching the kids expressions than the show. They truely loved it. Michelle took James and another friend of Michelles took her daughter Chloe. Chloe is 3 days older than Micah and we actually discovered that we were in the same hospital for a day when we had our kids, but we didn't know each other then. Small world.


Lastly is our pumpkin. We have one growing right now and it is a little bit bigger than in this picture. Not too exciting but I did want to show it off before it freezes to death. : ) The other pictures are of the wildlife I found on the pumpkin plant. Lots of cool stuff.

Funny

A while back Micah saw me put on a belly band (so you can wear your regular clothes longer unbuttoned and/or unzipped) and was really sad that he didn't have one. He begged me to wear it but it was way to big on him. I found an old hair band and let him use it for a while as a belly band and he loved it. It was so cute how he wanted to show everyone. Too funny.

This is Micah's grumpy face. He has been getting a kick out of making the face and telling us to take pictures so he can see. The diaper on the head thing makes it even more funny as he is trying to be so serious.


He even got Jeff in on the action.

And this is his silly face. Silly and grumpy aren't all that different I guess.

Recently I went to Costco and I picked up a flat of muffins. I then decided to buy a pumpkin pie instead so I put the muffins back. Micah was really upset I put the muffins back and sat next to them in demonstration of his displeasure for a few minutes. He could not be consoled until I told him we were getting pumpkin pie. He sure has a sweet tooth.

A few nights ago we left Micah with a sitter and he was so sad when we left.
Micah: "Don't gooooooo....."
Me: "You will have fun, you'll play games...."
Micah: "Nooooo...
Me: "You will go to the park....."
Micah: "Noooooo.... don't goooo....
Me: "You'll have pumpkin pie."
Micah: "OK, bye Mom"

So easily replaced.

It's a Girl!

I have been pretty quite on the pregnancy topic this time around. I don't think I will be doing many if any prego pics but I will keep you posted if anything interesting occurs like.... It's a girl. I am so excited. I would have been happy either way but I was hoping a little more for a girl since we have a boy already. I couldn't believe it because I KNEW I was having a boy again so when they said girl I was in shock. And no, I had no reason that I thought I was having a boy, I just did. So anyway, we are very excited and wanted to share. : )
