D is for Drew

Here's some pictures I found on my phone from when we went to New York and we didn't have our camera with us. 

This was at one of the playgrounds at Central Park.

Some more random pictures of Drew.

This one is on crazy hair day at school.

Baby Clarification!

I feel the need to clarify.  A lot of you actually fell for the title of the blog "It's a boy" but in the actual post I also said "OR A GIRL".  Sorry for the confusion.  We did not find out what the baby gender is and will not until he or she is born. We are grateful to our Heavenly Father for the great blessing to add one more child to our family and we will be happy with either.

It's A Boy!!!!

OR A GIRL!!!

Just wanted to get your attention.  We are doing it again.  We are going without finding out what the gender of our sweet baby is.  Call us crazy, but we love surprises!

It was so fun to see the baby moving so much. At one point he/she kept putting his/her hand against my belly and it looked like he kept giving us five!
Here are some ultrasound pictures.  We also were able to get a DVD of the ultrasound but for some reason only like 5 seconds recorded :S. If you look at the video, the baby is facing down, the head is on the left, feet on the right, spine on the top of the screen. 

Halloween! 2010

This year for Halloween Drew dressed up as a Charleston Dancer (For Maddy's Birthday Party) which changed to a GoGo Girl (For the church party and her school parade) and then everyone kept saying she looked like Taylor Swift so that was her final costume.  I think her most favorite was Taylor Swift.   Drew wasn't too thrilled to go trick-or-treating, especially because it was pouring, but we went around a few houses and she was done.   

Frankie in the other hand didn't want to dress up or go trick-or-treating at all this year.  Not surprising since he's never been a big fan and he is 14.  So the only time he wore a 'costume' was to the church party which was his football uniform which he just happened to be wearing since he had just gotten back from practice. That was the extent of his effort. ( Sorry...no picture)

Our pumpkins went as ghosts and Frankie's as a Frankenstine.  We made one for Pax (orange hair) and one for Baby (of course)

This year we went to our best friend's Halloween Party.  I'll let you take a peek at our costumes and see if you can guess what we are....

OK...if you didn't get it, I'm a "Bun in the Oven" and Grant is the cook ...wink wink.

Grandparents Day! 2010

Until about a week or so, I haven't been able to do much of anything.  Because of this Grant has had to kick it up a notch.  This has us both pretty drained and our kids get only the bare necessities. 

The good thing is that Frankie has been busy with school and football (pictures coming soon) and Drew with dance and school and the rest of the time she just tries to entertain herself.  This usually means some huge mess somewhere in the house or in this case outside of the house.  The good thing is that she has been expanding her imagination and independence.  Lately she has been grabbing every blanket and pillow in the house and setting it up outside as a tent.  Lots of fun for her...not fun for us when we have to tell her to clean up.  I guess it's a risk we were willing to take.  

On this particular day (grandparents day) Grandma and Grandpa just happened to stop by and visit.  As great the grandparents they are, they joined in the camping fun with Drew.  They helped her set up and hang out with her outside. 

Thankfully I am somewhat better and things are getting a bit better. 

We are so thankful to have Grandma and Grandpa close by and for all the great memories they create with us!

Happy Grandparents Day!
