Halloween Costumes

Here are the girls in their costumes. We went trick or treating all over our ward. The girls said "Go Cougars, Happy Halloween" all night long. We missed having Mom and Alex with us. They are in Pendleton OR with Brandy's family for the weekend.





Anna wasn't into it until her bucket was full. I couldn't get her to let me help her carry the very heavy loot, ever.








Genny was a pro at it, so she nearly ran from house to house. I had to tell her "Wait for Anna" about 100 times. After we got home, a trick or treater came to our door dressed just like Genny!

I carried a bucket around with the cameras in it and people kept giving me candy to 'give to Alex'. Whatever, that is all going into my belly.

My Sweet Boy!

Genny's " little buddy."
I'm so in love with this kid!


Daddy's cuddles can do wonders for the soul!

So little...

3 Months Went by Fast!

So, the last time I posted, I wasn't sure if I was really in labor. Turns out I totally was. I labored at home for about 11 hours total, then went in to the hospital, had an epidural this time, and baby Alexander was born a few hours later. He was 7 lbs 7 oz and 19 inches long. He is now over 10 lbs and 23 inches long! He's been an awesome baby. So full of sunshine and smiles. He smiles and coos at anyone who talks to him. Out of all the baby deliveries this has been my easiest and the easiest and fastest recovery as well.

The girls have adjusted nicely. They love their little brother. Genny has an especially strong bond with him. She sings to him when he cries and he always calms and coos for her. She can make him smile more than the rest of us. It's really enchanting to watch.

Enjoy the pictures!
