Tribute to Lute!

We had our Ward Halloween Party tonight and Kevin went as Lute Olson, the recently retired Arizona Basketball Coach. It has been a week of mourning in our household since Kevin found out that Lute retired. So as tribute to the greatest college basketball coach, Kevin dressed up as Lute. Most people thought he was either John McCain or Bill Clinton, but a few people knew who he was which made his day!!

And here's Lute with our cute little chicken!!

Pumpkin Pickin' at Gallrein Farms

It's our family tradition to go pick a pumpkin each October at an actual pumpkin farm. Usually, we go to Huber Farms in Indiana but we thought we'd try this one in Kentucky this year. It was definitely way less crowded than Hubers and the pumpkin selection was better, but I think we'll be heading back to Hubers next year as we just like the atmosphere better. We still had a great time with our friends, the Ice's. Here are a few pics of our fun day, despite the very chilly wind!!
If Alexa was standing up straight, you'd get to see that she's close to 3 feet tall now. She's definitely grown a lot since her 18 month dr's appointment!!
I know, I know...Alexa's eyes are closed...but I sure look good, so I had to include this picture!!! hahahah

And of course I have to do a THEN and NOW to show how much Alexa has changed in the last year...here's Alexa last October,
And here she is this year!
Out in the pumpkin patch, me and my girl!

Cute as a Button!!

Last Friday, I also had the privilege of watching our friends', Aaron & Brynn Wikle's, little girl, Samantha. They dropped her off after Alexa was in bed and we had such a fun time hangin out while her mommy & daddy went on a date. Isn't she just about the cutest thing ever????!!!!

Play Date with Nay-Nay!

Last Friday, we had a play date today with Alexa's friend, Nathan (Nay-nay) Ice. These two love each other and get along so well with each other. They're only 3 months apart (as will be both of their younger siblings!!) and I hope they'll always be the best of friends! Rachael and I are secretly planning their future marriage!! :-) Anyways, Rachael had a Dr's appt and so we had Nay-Nay over and we had such a fun morning. They raced up and down our hallway with the cart and the stroller and had such a great time together!

You guessed it!

Yep, that's right, we're expecting baby #2, there's definitely a bun in this oven... our little Pablo is due at the end of April 2009. I'm a little over 3 months right now and starting to get over the initial "morning" sickness...I think! The nausea has been pretty random this time around but I'm way more tired it seems. Maybe that's just because I have a toddler to take care of as well as being pregnant. We've decided to call the little peanut "Pablo" because ever since Kevin and I got together, he's teased me about having a son named Pablo or Jorge (pronounced hor-hay). But seeing as that will never happen...I consented to letting #2 have Pablo as a nickname in utero...although I'm sure if we actually have a boy this time, the nickname will continue once he's born or perhaps we'll just have to change the nickname to Pablita or something along those lines. But we will most definitely be finding out what this baby is and will keep everyone posted...look for further news on that in December!
