Here is one of our first pics of the New Baby

Within one week, Loren finished the purchase of his new Practice, I was called as Young Women's President, and we found out we were pregnant with our Third. It was a crazy week, but I'm counting on many more of those in the weeks ahead . . .

Due in May

It's kind of cold outside!!!!

The weather is finally cooling down and the kids still love to play outside. They even got to wear winter hats (which they loved). Fisher is beginning to walk like a pro after three weeks of being very wobbly. He is also getting very fast much quicker than I remember with Gavry. He's just trying to keep up, I guess. I love that the boys are starting to play well with each other and Gavry even occasionally will let Fisher play with a toy . . . ;) But Gavry better watch out because Fisher is an excellent eater, and we don't think it will be too long before Fisher weighs more that Gav does!! Here are the best pics I could get yesterday (the rest were blurry 'cause those kids wouldn't hold still!)

The Inspiration

Our SpongeBob Halloween

After a few weeks of Gavry wanting to be a Blue Fish for Halloween, (and I, still not having made his costume), he decided he really wanted to be SpongeBob Squarepants. So at about 3:00 p.m. I ran and spent a whole $4.00 on 1 yard of yellow flannel and some felt . . . and voila . . . introducing SpongeBob Gavry!!!!!! Thanks to Loren for buiding the frame for the shoulders and squarepants! We had a great time and Gavry was surprisingly so happy to be walking around in that costume. By the end of our trick-or-treating, Gavry was a pro and would go up to the doors all by himself and proudly say, "Trick-or-Treat" and "Thank you!" It was a lot of fun and Fisher was a trooper for staying up well past his bedtime in a very warm puppy costume . . .

The very quick making of the costume . . .

Notice all of the felt, scraps, glue guns and other materials all over our floor! I'm still picking up this morning!

Our Halloween Surprise

As soon as Gavry got his costume on, kids starting coming to our door. Gavry handed out Krabby Patties Candy and Dum Dum Suckers (very fitting) and then we decided to head out ourselves to Trick-or-Treat. We left our bowl of candy behind a pumpkin on our porch so kids would see the candy only if they came all the way up to our door. After we spent some time going door to door, we came back to our house and this is what we found:

Yes, our candy bowl filled with Barbecue Sauce!!!! Only in Texas, right? I guess that was the trick for there being no candy left! We laughed pretty hard and thought it was a great trick! Good job, Scary Goblings!
