More Maternity Pictures

Today we took some more maternity pictures (at 38.5 weeks), but this time with the big brother Jack!  He was not overly excited to have to take pictures versus just being able to play while outside (but what else can you expect from a busy 22 month old little boy.)

 And here are some cute pictures of the big brother!

Amelia's due date is 10 days away!  We are so ready for her to join our family.  I am feeling great right now! I almost wish I was feeling something so I could at least feel like she was close to coming, but I don't yet. But either way it could be any day...especially considering that Jack was already here by this point, joining us 11 days early.  Until she gets here we will just enjoy these calmer days and nights with the ability to sleep straight through the night (not counting the many trips to the bathroom), but we are so ready and excited for that wonderful day when we get to meet our baby girl face to face!!!!

Maternity Pictures with Amelia

These were taken when I was 37 weeks pregnant with Amelia Joy!

 

Unfortunately Jack was taking a nap when we were having our pictures taken.  I'm hoping that we will get a chance to have some taken with him before Amelia arrives.  Stay tuned!

Thank you Hannah for taking such great pictures for us!

Halloween 2012

 Once again this year we kept with the tradition and had chili cheese hot dogs for dinner on Halloween.

 Jack sure enjoyed his hotdog!

 

 

Next, Jack got all dressed up in his lion costume.  If you ask him what a lion says, he will roar for you...but in a whisper. Such a sweet and gentle lion!

 

 We went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood.  When given the opportunity to pick out what candy he wanted, he most often would choose a lollipop or smarties.  In this picture it looks like he actually was happy and walked from door to door.  That wasn't really the case though.  He was pretty grumpy for most of the evening and wanted to be carried around.  Maybe next year he will be more into it.

 It was pretty funny.  He wanted to hold each piece of candy in his hand that he got instead of putting it in his bucket.  It took a few houses for him to realize that it just wasn't possible to hold all that candy.  Such a hard concept for such a little guy that just loves candy so much.

 This year I dressed up as a lady with a baby in her tummy.  Okay, I guess I am a lady with a baby in my tummy, but here you can see the little one with my skeleton shirt.

37 Weeks Pregnant

 As we were walking door to door we eventually came to the park with the swings.  Jack decided this was a better idea then getting candy.  He just wanted to take a candy break and go for a ride in the swing.

Notice we no longer have our little lion, but a skeleton. It was a warm night and it just got too hot in that costume.  Good thing we had a back-up!

 Jack's bucket of candy (that mommy and daddy have really been enjoying!)

Jack and Daddy checking out all the yummy treats!

Trail Dust Cowboy

Last night we took a surprise trip to the old Trail Dust Steakhouse to visit with Mom-mom, Pepa, Aunt Hannah & Uncle Alex.  Jack is in love with that place!

 Waiting out on the patio

 He actually wore his cowboy hat for a good length of time! Such a cute cowboy!

 These days he loves playing "games" on my phone while waiting around at restaurants.

Trail Dust has a giant slide that basically goes from the 2nd floor down to the first floor.   Hannah was so sweet to take Jack up and down the big slide about 10 times.  He was in love!!!

 Weeeee!

That is one happy cowboy!

I'm thinking we may need to bring Jack back here for his birthday since he had so much fun!
