37 weeks!

I know that this picture isn't the greatest, but I wanted to give everyone an update on the baby bump. I can't believe that I have 3 weeks left. I feel like I just found out I was pregnant. Time really has flown...and I know that with Christmas here in a month, the next 3 weeks will go by really fast too. I am feeling pretty good...REALLY PREGNANT...but pretty good! We are getting really excited to find out what this little baby is and to have a new little baby in our family. Elle is still obsessed with the baby. She is constantly giving my belly kisses and loves to put her head on it to give it a cuddle. haha. She's so cute and will be a great BIG sister!

Weekend Getaway!


We went to Fairmont, BC for the weekend. It was so nice to end Jared's holidays off with a little family vacation in BC. On the way out there we spotted 51 deer, 1 moose butt, and 3 mountain sheep. It was crazy foggy, but definitely kept me and Jared awake.  Elle loved swimming, seeing wildlife, feeding the ducks, and just having both mommy and daddy there with her. We love Fairmont and are so greatful that we had the opportunity to go out there for a few days. It was also very fun to spend the last few days we had out there with my parents. Grandparents are the greatest and Elle LOVES when "Dama" and "Bubba" are around. 


Elle has been really trying to help lately....this is her after I asked "Elle can you go and get me your swimsuit so that I can help you put it on." hahaha. She is getting so big!!!

HApPy HaLloWEeN!!!



We had so much fun this halloween because Elle was so excited. She is starting to understand the seasons and holidays and catches on to the excitement. I told her that halloween was for scaring people so she kept saying "BOO". It was so cute. She loved to scare everything, actually the morning of halloween she said "boo" 25 times while I was doing her hair. We had to go through the list of everyone that we would scare that day. haha. Elle also loved trick or treating. She practiced at Gramma Bakers house (it's a good thing too, cause she got great candy that way and we didn't even have to leave the house). She would say "Trick Treat" and hold out her bucket for Gramma to fill. It was hilarious!!!  We really enjoyed baking pumpkin and cat sugar cookies too...Elle really only liked the icing. haha. I loved dressing Elle up this year. She was the perfect little fairy (even though she had to wear her boots...I think it made the costume, haha). She was so cute and such a good sport for letting me put all 8 ponytails in her hair. I love this little girl!
This year we were invited to a "Disney" theme Halloween party. Every couple had to decide beforehand what movie they wanted to dress up from and let the host know so that no one was dressed alike. Jared and I chose Snow White...he was Dopey Dwarf and I was the Evil Queen. We had so much fun. Everyone's costumes were so good. I love Halloween!!!
