Fallin

Sorry I skipped October, but this post is to update you on what we did!

I wish I had pictures from our Conference weekend, but I dont- we had a great time in PC with some of the Snow family and I had a fabulous time making exorbitant amounts of cookies with my mom, sisters and dearest friend B!

That was the main excitement of the beginning of our month.

Chad had his first annual rodeo at work. He roped a goat, barrel raced and rode a bull! He had a blast and we tease him that he's found his new career. I think he'd make a terrifically handsome cowboy!

Then all our halloween festivities were so much fun.

We decided to do a family theme for our costumes this year, and I've already found some fun ideas for next years theme!

Anywho, we were the little red riding hood group. I was Granny, then Chad was our Woodsman, Mobi was the Wolf, and Camilla our Little Red. I thought it turned out pretty well and really enjoyed the whole theme aspect of our halloween costumes, I think it made dressing up, that much more fun.

Our ward trunk or treat was great- we "only went for the food" (dinner was served first, then treating followed) but had a great time seeing all the fun family costumes and kids running around in their get-ups.

We had a Snow family halloween party out at Chad's brother's house. The costumes were great, the food was so festive and yummy, and we all had a lot of fun with the family and games.

On halloween we decided not to trick-or-treat but instead we went visiting. We started at Chad's parents and took pictures with our Big Bad Wolf. Then headed up to my parents where we all enjoyed a scrumptious dinner in a pumpkin, well Camilla just ate 2 hotdogs but Chad and I liked it. After spending some time with my family we visited Chad's sister, Camilla enjoyed the tour of her house and seemed content to stay there but alas it was bedtime. So home we went and once there we were surprised to still have quite a few trick-or-treaters come by and take some candy off our hands!

It was a great month at our house, hope you all are enjoying this season too!

The other day I was talking to my friend, who'd just had her baby, about how she misses feeling the baby movements in her belly-

I absolutely cherish feeling this little guy and love feeling him squirming around and kicking stronger and stronger! I know its one of my favorite parts about being pregnant.

Now that I'm in the last month of my second trimester I see that I've had a lot to be grateful for with this pregnancy. It really has been perfect! I hope I can have similar pregnancies with all our other kids to come.

I think this second experience with pregnancy has been a bit better all around, mostly due to the fact that I dont have that first timers anxiety. I know no pregnancy is ever the same as another but just having had a baby before helps me stop and enjoy this one more, instead of worry and stress about the ifs.

So yay for little jabs to my bladder and a twitching belly! I love this!

Are you ready...

Are you sure you're ready?!!

Ok,

WE ARE HAVING A BOY!

We are so excited!!! I love little boys!

According to our nephew, having a son will make Chad's life "fulfilled!" Now he will have someone to tumble about with, and play rough and tough with! Chad's amazing with Camilla and the best Daddy she could ask for, but Chad does enjoy playing his games with the nephews so I'm sure our little guy will bring a ton of fun to our family!

I think that everything happens for a reason

and I know that I always wanted boys- I love having Camilla first though, I think our family dynamics will be perfect!

A girl and a boy- what a perfect way to start, dont you think?

We've had a fabulous time! All the wedding details came together and we had tons of fun spending a bit of time with Rach and getting to know her hubby! Being in England was wonderful, we loved spending time just us two, and seeing all the sights. We missed our daughter though so its been fabulous to be back with her!

Thanks Rach for letting us come be a part of such a wonderful experience! We miss you and cant wait to see you again sometime, hopefully soon.
