Halloween 2009!!

I know I am so late on these but we had a wonderful time for Halloween this year. First off, earlier in the day we went to the pumpkin patch and let Ethann and my niece pick out their own pumpkins. My little brother Glenn even came and joined us. (He's a big time sophomore at App State so we were pleasantly surprised when he came and joined us:) )

We also got some really great pics out of our trip one of which we blew up and now have hanging in the house. So here are a few from the pumpkin patch.

After the pumpkin patch the kids took a nap and we got the costumes on. E was a little cranky because he had a late nap and didn't really want to get his costume on...but he eventually warmed up!! So here is my little SUPERMAN!!!!

And my niece...the punk rock Queen!!

Of course it was raining..

And yes even Superman need to cover his head in the cold rain!! (Mom, I know you would be so proud to hear me say this!! :0)

And E loved his flashlight!! Thank to his Yaya and Papi for sending it all the way from Florida!!

It was such a wonderful day. Ethann is old enough now where he actually understands what is going on and he gets so excited which in turn gets me excited. Everything is so new again through the eyes of my child...I love it!!

Stay tuned as we are going to DISNEY WORLD this week! So we should have lots of great pics from that adventure!!

20 Weeks Baby!!!! and Noodle's Prayer

Well, I officially hit 20 weeks yesterday...we're halfway there!!! I can't believe how fast the time has flown seen we officially started telling people. We went for our 18W ultrasound and the baby looked great!! Heartbeat was 151 and all organs were there and in check...thank you Lord!!



We had the technician look and she said that it was clearly one sex or the other :) BUT we didn't find out just as we said we didn't want to. She did give us pictures but she said that she made sure that you couldn't see anything on them. When she handed them to us she said "So don't let anyone tell you they see a penis" !! Ha!!! So does that mean there isn't one and that it's a girl or there is one but you made sure to not put them in there??? Ryan and I were both analyzing the heck out of her comments to see if she slipped and said something that was a clue, lol!!



We also took Ethann so he could see his Noodle. He really wasn't that interested in the pictures that were showing up on the screen, but he was sure enough interested in all the goo that the ultrasound technician was spreading on my belly. He kept looking at the ultrasound wand like "What are you doing to my Mommy!!" It really was too cute!



Speaking of cute...I just have to say Ethann is so cute as a big brother. Every night he says his "Noodle Prayer". He calls it that because he has a book of prayers and there is a picture of a little boy with his baby sister. He says the baby is Noodle (by the way Ethann calls Noodle a girl...so we'll see!!) and has deemed that prayer is Noodle prayer. At the end of the prayer (which he says alll by himself I remind you) he'll lean down and kiss my belly and say "Goodnight Noodle, I'm your big brother". I tell you I almost cry every night!! So, here's Noodle's Prayer:



Thank you Lord for bread and meat

Thank you Lord for friends I meet

Thank you for my Mom and Dad

Thank you for the love I have

Thank you for my work and play

Thank you for another the day

Amen



May God bless and keep Noodle :)
