Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  Now begins the most wonderful time of the year! :)

Thanksgiving Round One

This Thanksgiving was such a relaxing one!  Usually we have to split Thanksgiving day between my family and Matt's family, but not this year!  We had Thanksgiving with my family on Thursday and Thanksgiving with Matt's family on Friday at the lake.  We had a lot of yummy food, watched a lot of football and had good quality family time.  Here are a few pictures from our weekend.

 We all fit around ONE table this year...kind of sad because that meant we were missing a lot of family :(

Now he's a happy boy. 

17 Weeks!

First of all, I realize I have been a bad Mama!  I haven't blogged about Baby #2 nearly as much as I did with Parker.  We have been so busy lately and trying to soak up every moment with Parker I feel like this pregnancy has already gone by fast!  After the holidays I only have 3 1/2 months left!!! Can you believe it?  It's funny how this time around is already so different yet so similar too.  I have been trying to drag out wearing "normal" clothes as long as I can this time.  Last time I couldn't WAIT to wear maternity clothes!  Looking at these two pictures I think I look very similar in size.  Would you agree?



The last doctor's appointment was around 12 weeks.  I went back and looked at my pregnancy journal with Parker and guess what...the heartbeat was the EXACT same, 155!  Does this mean we have another boy joining us?  Only God and the sonographer will know until his/her birthday!  We cannot wait to meet our second child.  He or she is going to add so much to our family and be Parker's best friend.  We are so excited for Parker to have a sibling so close in age. 

Here is Parker in his prime position...wanting his Mommy to hold him.  He is at that age to where if he remotely gets the vibe I am leaving he freaks out.  He is defiantly a Mama's boy right now.  Matt tells me to soak it up because when he gets older I am sure he and his Daddy will be best buds!

I just got back from my 17 week doctors appointment and heard my precious baby's heartbeat.  It was between 145-147.  He said everything looked great and he/she was growing right on schedule.  My next appointment is December 20th and we will be able to see our precious little one at that appointment...can't wait!!

Superman!

Halloween this year was a little hectic.  Parker was not himself all day so I didn't know what to expect out of him when it was time to trick-or-treat.  Well you can see for yourself how it went...

I felt bad the next day because he was a bit sick with 4 teeth coming in.  So I don't blame him for being crabby craberson.  Poor Superman had a rough night.  He also did NOT want to be held...he wanted his freedom to "fly"! :) 

After we went to GiGi's house we went to Don and Dian's house to trick-or-treat with Parker's cousins.  We had to change him into his cute skeleton pj's that glow in the dark!  Maybe next year he will be able to keep up with his cousins!  Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

New Slide!

Last weekend we had a garage sale to clean out our "extra" stuff so 4 people can live in this house.  Garage Sales are a great time to chat with your neighbors!  Our sweet neighbors Chad and Ryan brought this slide down to Parker because their boys are too big for it.  Parker loves it!  He wanted to put all his toys on top and camp out up on the ledge all night.  It has been a great entertainer while we watched the World Series! 

By the end of the night he was a pro at climbing up and sliding down all by himself!
