Pumpkins and scary guys!

This last weekend was full of fun fall stuff. First, we went to the corn maze at the Bottoms in Paradise so Brian could help scare. Brian had a blast scaring people and I had a good time staying where it was warm, watching my little nephew Carson. He is the cutest thing because anytime he would see anything related to Halloween, he would say "Scare me" and cuddle up close to me. It was so cute. He's such a doll. Anyway, Friday I made Brian take me out on a hot date because we won't be able to go out much soon. So he took me to dinner at Ruby Tuesday's then we decided to go to the Pumpkin Walk in North Logan. It was so fun to go because its one of our fall traditions. We enjoy it even without having kids. I guess its cuz we're both kids at heart. Then Saturday, we went to the Aggie football game, which was way fun to watch until the last two seconds when Fresno State made a 47 yard field goal and ended up winning by two points. It was very depressing but fun to watch anyway. After that, we decided we better get all the fall stuff in we could so we decided to do the Haunted Forest. We've done this one since we've been dating so it was fun to go do again. Brian was kind of hoping that all the scaring and walking would put me into labor but no luck. Then when we got home, we watched Brian's favorite Halloween movie, Nightmare Before Christmas. I'm not a huge fan but I love him so I watched it with him. And of course, we both fell asleep. It was like ten o'clock and we were both out. We're already acting like parents and we don't have kids yet! Soon enough I guess. Only ten more days!
I didn't get any pictures of this weekend because I'm really bad at grabbing my camera before we go out but here's a poster of the Haunted Forest. It really was good this year! Brian even got scared a lot but he won't admit to it. He's too tough to get scared.

Another Update

I must say that the last three weeks have been great. We have been living in our house, no baby and Brian has been really busy at work, which is a huge blessing. I don't mean that I like it when he's gone but its nice to have the work for money purposes. We've been enjoying the last few weeks we have of it just being us till this baby gets here. I'm getting pretty anxious though. He likes to stretch out a lot which makes everything in me squish up into my lungs and I feel like I'm sufficating sometimes. And I've started to snore every once and a while. Its awful. But I am so grateful that Ethan is still cooking instead of joining us too early. We have a little under three weeks now and I can't wait to see what my little guy will look like. We watched part of our wedding video yesterday which has our baby pictures on it and I am so excited to see if he looks more like me or Brian. I'm thinking Brian because on the ultrasound profile shot, you could tell he has Brian's nose. Thank goodness!
Little Clint, Tara's baby, is doing pretty good. He's nursing now and gaining weight. He's now almost six pounds and looking good. He still can't come home because of his breathing and his eyes but hopefully he'll be home before November. That would be great. He's such a cute little guy and so strong to fight so hard. We all love him and are so grateful that he's with us.
We had our first overnight visitors this weekend. My little sister and her "friend" came to stay with us. It was so fun because we have all this room but nothing to fill it so it was great to have someone stay with us. We had fun just talking and of course the boys played lots of nintendo and wii. It was great. Thanks for coming Chunky!
Our house is still mostly done. We haven't done a whole lot on it since we've moved in. But I told Brian we had to at least finish our bathroom before my mom comes. She's coming to stay with us after Ethan's born and it would be nice to have two bathrooms. And I still haven't put up any decorations because I'm afraid to put the first nail hole in. I look at the wall and think of how much work it was to make it look that way, I don't want to mess it up. So as you can tell, life is great for us and only continuing to get better every day.

Two Showers and a House

Its been a while and for good reason. We finally moved into our wonderful home last week. We are so excited and so happy to finally have it (mostly) done. We moved everything Monday night last week and had our inspection Tuesday afternoon. We passed (mostly). We just need to do a few little things but we were given the ok to live here so we have been for the last week and we're loving every minute of it. And to top it off, our cabinet guy actually came and finished up (mostly) everything he needed too. Just a few little things left for him to do but not at all keeping us from moving things in. We're super excited to have it done before the baby gets here. Brian has worked so hard on the house for so long its weird to not have to do it anymore. There are still things that need to get done but nothing that can't wait.

I also have had a couple baby showers since a few weeks ago. I had my family shower, thrown by my wonderful sisters and mother on September 27th. It was tons of fun to see all my aunts and cousins who I haven't seen in a long time. And we also got really cute stuff for little Ethan. He's going to be such a handsome stud in all the cute outfits we got.

Last Saturday was my friend shower, which was thrown by my wonderful friends. My darling friend Jacque made the cutest invitations for the shower and I love her to death for everything she does for me and has done for Ethan. We got some really cute stuff, including the famous Emma Art. I'm so excited to put it up in his room and show off how cute it is. Thanks everyone for so many great things! Ethan will be spoiled with all the cool stuff he got from everyone.
