Pumpkin Movie Night!

So ABC, aired It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, which is one of my favorite halloween movies. So we let James Micheal stay up late with us to watch it at eight. It was a lot of fun, we made pumpkin face cookies and ghost sugar cookies. We all sat down with a cup of egg nog and enjoyed the movie. James Micheal just kept laughing at Snoopy, it was really cute. He also helped me make the cookies, which was pretty easy considering they were pre-cut and pre-made, Thanks Pillsbury. Enjoy the pictures.

So, I have been tagged.. Thanks Melanie!!

So, gratefully, I have been tagged. In truth, I am not very grateful, and Melanie, I doubt it was very random my dear. Either way, here are 7 wierd things about me.

1. My nickname in high school was whale. Not because I was a whale mind you, but because my mouth is about the size of a whales. And the funny part is my husband gave me this nickname and he didnt even go to my high school. I told my friend that he called me that one time and then she proceeded to spread it around, and by the end of the day my teachers and classmates were calling me that. Who thought I would end up marrying the guy.

2.I really love Jelly Belly's. I went through a pear and Doctor Pepper Jelly Belly phase with this pregnancy. It lasted about 3 days, and I am sure I consumed over 300 Jelly Beans.

3. I love the smell of Gain Laundry Detergent. I usually go down the laundry soap isle every time I go to the store and just sit there and smell the box. The funny thing is, is I usually never use Gain Laundry Detergent.

4. I also love the smell of wet towlettes from McDonalds. Everyone who knows me,knows I spent two years of my life under the golden arches and really didn't like it very much. Whenever I would get stressed out I would smell a moist towellette. I know people think I am a freak, but I have something about my sense of smell.Sorry, I am a freak.

5. I used to want to be a speech pathologist when I went to BYU,and was planning on teaching deaf people how to talk. I was really good at sign language too. I had an ASL teacher come up to me one time when I was signing with my friend, cause she thought I was deaf, because I was signing so fast. When I told her I wasn't and it was my first year she was amazed. Ok, that is my only bragging one, I can't sign like that anymore either so don't ask me.

6. I love my husbands third pupil. I used to think if I ever had to go identify him in the morgue or something, I would always know who he was, because of his third pupil. Thats sounds really creepy now that I am reading back what I am typing but, anyways, moving on...

7. My final wierd fact, is...I really do not like being pregnant. I think I like it when I am not pregnant, and then when I am, I realize how much I hate it. I think my mind phases out all the preggo stuff as soon as I have the baby. Which probably isn't very good, cause I already almost have 3 kids, it scares me to think how many more I will have before I really start remembering.


And now I pass on my tag to my seven unsuspecting victims.

FHE Pumpkin Fun!

So yesterday for Family Home Evening, we decided we had waited long enough to carve pumpkins. James Micheal got to pick out a little baby pumpkin that he got to color on with a crayon. James and I picked out a good medium sized one and decided to only carve one this year. James actually did most of the work. During Family Home Evening we enjoyed pumpkin cookies(yummy)and had a good lesson on being a child of God. We are trying to prepare James Micheal for the new baby, so he isn't too upset when Evan is born. He seems to realize something is going on, because he always touches my belly and looks at it. And he likes kissing the baby, which means he drools all over my tummy. But, hopefully the baby won't totally rattle him, January seems to be coming fast. Anyways, after lesson we watched dad carve the pumpkin and James Micheal and I colored in his coloring book and on his pumpkin. It was a great night, and Makayla enjoyed jumping in her jumper to church music playing in the living room. I definetly love the start of the holidays, I think Halloween really ushers in the fall season well. Enjoy the pictures!

Greenbluff Fun!!

Last Saturday, my mom, my brother, my nephew, and James and the kids, and me, all went to the Harvest House at Green Bluff. We all had a great time, and my mom had fun snapping pictures of her grandbabies. There was a cute pumpkin patch that James Micheal and Liam had a great time in. We also went on a Hay Ride, which was great and all the kids had fun. Makayla did suprisingly well for it being so busy and all oustide. We finished off the trip with pumpkin doughnuts,(only the best doughnuts ever made)and a trip to the Craft area. Thanks for capturing memories of our great fall festivities, mom.James Micheal looking handsome

James Micheal is SICK!

Man, just when I think Makayla is getting well after her pneumonia. James Micheal gets sick. Makayla finished her last dose of icky medicine Thursday night, and guess who got a fever, Thursday night... James Micheal. He has a terrible cough and it has been keeping him up at night, so I finally decided to take him to the doctor tomorrow. Poor little guy, just doesn't get a break. I am pretty sure he gave it to Makayla too, cause now her nose is running like a faucet, and I heard her cough this morning. And well, guess who else is getting it, me. I do not need this, poor Makayla just got done being sick and now James Micheal started and is spreading it around. Well, enough of my venting, hopefully it is just a cold and not bronchitis or somehing. Everyone, cross your fingers, I know I am.,

Funny Bits of James Micheal

Poor James Micheal hasn't been able to get a lot of time just for him since Makayla has been sick. Just so everyone knows Makayla is doing really well, and acting like herself again, sassy and sweet. But, this post is about our James Micheal. He does the funniest stuff. The other day, he tried to sit on his train box, which is only a cardboard box, and well, he fell right through. He couldn't get up so I helped him, only after I got a cute picture.
He also has red sheets on his bed, and every now and then he likes to take his pillowcase off and wrap it from his head to his toes, and walk around telling people he is a hot dog.
He also loves his cousin Liam, they are dancing around to the music playing on our keyboard. They are so cute together, when they aren't fighting. I just wanted to share these cute memories of our sweet boy. Enjoy!
