Our Crazy Cat

So, my mom bought me some new tennis shoes, the ones without backs so I do not have to tie them up everytime I wear them. All through my pregnancy with Braden I wore flip-flops so I didn't have to bend over to tie my shoes. Not this time!!! Anyway, getting to the cat. She found the shoe box on the counter and thought it looked cozy to snuggle in. Here's the results of her thoughts.

Update on Baby Allen #2

On Tuesday, Nov. 4, I went for another doctor's appointment. This one was just an ultrasound to measure the baby and do an early detection for downs syndrome. They also took another blood sample from me as well. I will know the results by next week, but the ultrasound technician said everything looks great. The baby is measuring right on target and the heartbeat is right at 159 / 160. I'll keep all of you posted as to what the test says and all, but for right now I am right on schedule (Nov 6; 3 months and 2 days).

Happy Halloween!

Well, today was Halloween and Braden had so much fun going out trick - or - treating tonight. We hope everyone had as much fun tonight as he did. Here are some pictures of him in his costume. Can you guess what he is?
Here is a hint . . . There are 10 in a set and you can knock them down with a ball.
(He's a bowling pin.)

Halloween Costumes

Our church had a Halloween party on Sunday, Oct. 26, and we took the boys. They had hot dogs, cookies, hot chocolate, games, and a costume trick or treat parade. The boys had a blast. Ethan fell in love with a cow and could not stay away from it. Here are some photos of the event and of the boys in their costumes (we are still trying to perfect Braden's for Halloween night). Elijah is a Clone Trooper from Star Wars, Ethan is Spiderman, and Braden is a bowling pin.

Crazy Eyes!

Nay-Nay bought the boys a set of "crazy" glasses and we just had to get a picture of the 3 of them together. We have to hide Braden's from him so he will keep his real glasses on and not the "crazy" ones.

More Fall Fun

Braden's cousin Elijah stayed overnight on Thursday, he was on fall break, and the next morning Nay-Nay and Pop took all 3 of the boys to Bounce USA for a day of bouncing fun. Braden and Elijah raced each other on the obstacle course and played Pop is a game of air hockey, while Ethan just kept going down the slide. Ethan eventually found a bounce area just for himself and he decided to relax in a tub of balls. The boys had a blast! We came home, had lunch, and passed out, well Ethan and I did. Elijah played Lego Star Wars and Braden watched.

Pumpkin Paitning

After our trip to the Pumpkin Patch Ethan took a nap and Elijah and Braden went outside to paint their pumpkins. Braden just went crazy with the paint, while Elijah did his best to re-create Batman, The Joker, and Robin on his. I think they both did an awesome job! . . . Next weekend, we cut!
