Wendy and Peter Pan

For months now Grant and Erin have known who they wanted to dress up as for Halloween.  They both love the movie, "Peter Pan," and have fallen in love with the characters.  At first, Erin wanted to be Tinkerbell, but ever since our trip to Disney in May she has wanted to be Wendy.  I have just about finished their costumes.  Grant's Peter Pan costume doesn't fit quite right.  I may remake the shirt to make it a little longer.  The pattern  made the shirt short and the pants too long!?    I may also tweak his hat a little bit.  Either way, he is thrilled with the costume.

Erin has also assigned characters to us.  Papa is Captain Hook, Mimi is the the crocodile, Stephen will be a lost boy, and she says I will be Smead!  I had to laugh at her because I sort of see the resemblance between myself and Smead.....we have the same figure right now!  

Grant's 4th Birthday

Grant turned four years old this past Friday!  He has been so excited about his birthday this year.We celebrated with a cupcake Friday night after dinner.  We have seen so many changes this year in Grant.  I think I am liking four year old Grant!  He's definitely becoming a much easier kid.  Grant is very caring and nurturing and can't wait for his baby sister to arrive.  He is becoming more patient with Erin and is much more likely to share his toys with her.  We love our little guy so much!

Grant wanted a "Tornado" Birthday Cake this year.   Believe me, I tried to talk him into something easier, but he was very persistent.  I did an internet search to try to get some ideas.  This is what we came up with.  It may not be the prettiest cake, but Grant loved it!

Grant had a great birthday filled with love from his family.  Here's to another year!

28 Week Ultrasound

We finally went for our ultrasound this morning and got a glimpse of our baby girl!  She looks great!  She weighs about a 2.5 lbs and is measuring right on track with my due date.  We are so excited!  Now that we know that she really is a she we have to pick out a name!

Grant's 4th Birthday Invite

Grant will be four this Friday.  I can't believe he will be four!  He has requested a "Tornado" Birthday Cake this year.  I'm going to attempt to make said cake. He is really into the weather and gives us his own weather reports daily.  We even have the local radar saved on the computer so he can check it whenever he pleases.

I ordered the invitations from Pinch of Spice on etsy!  I think they are great!

Now, how am I going to decorate for a tornado party?

It's Football Season!

It's that time of year again!  We showed our team spirit Sunday morning by wearing our team colors to worship service.  The kids are oblivious to whether they are supposed to be an Auburn Tiger or a Florida Gator.  They cheer for both teams.  Luckily, our team colors are similar. (Except Auburn's navy and orange is much better than the Gator's loud blue and orange ; ) Stephen and I pull for each others teams as well.  (I just won't say "Go Gators")  We don't play each other this year, and we always want to see the SEC do well!  I don't really have a great dress to show my team spirit this year because I have to wear maternity clothes.  I think I need to find some orange accessories!  

The kids were giving the baby a hug.  (I really wish I had my shoes on in the picture.  They hang out by the door on Sunday mornings.  It's much easier to rush around the house barefoot than while wearing high heels.)

Giving the baby a kiss....so sweet!

We let Grant take our picture too!  We were laughing so hard at him.  He was so serious about it.  I wish I had a photo of him taking our photo.  He was so proud of his work too!
