Halloween is coming....

We are getting all geared up for Halloween at our house. The boys have been sporting their costumes for almost a month now. Much to Luke and I's happiness both of them chose to wear the same costumes as last year. Both still fit great so that saved some green. I must say we do have the cutest Dragon and Tigger around. We have 2 Halloween parties down and lots more activities to come this week. Halloween Dinner, School Parties, Pumpkin Carving, Trunk-or-Treat, Pumpkin Walk and Fireworks. Hope that the nice fall weather holds out and we don't freeze!!!!!!!!! So barring the freezing part I will be posting many more cute Halloween Pics this month!

Target Practice

Luke had the day off today since it was Thanksgiving here in Canada. We celebrated it on saturday so we had the day free. Luke decided to take us down to the shooting range to have some fun. Luke was super excited to use his 7mm which he had not been able to use yet. Papa lent the .22 for the boys to shoot. Luke shot off his big gun first which was super loud. It made Thayne nervous. He was not sure about all of it. Kayleb loved the .22 What a fun day.

Baby Update:

Thayne and I went to the doctor today. Thayne does not have diabetes. Yay. he does however have times where his blood sugar gets low and he needs to eat to bring it up. Irritability is the side effect of that. I don't have gestational diabetes either. I got to make all the rest of my prenatal appointments today. The end is in sight. We have 2 dates, Nov 26th or 27th will be the scheduled c-section. Will find out next visit. Baby Tripp is growing right on schedule and VERY active. I have had a terrible cold since Sunday. Adding to the great lack of sleep. Starting to feel like I'm gonna make it though.

What a Day!

What a great field trip. Every year the elementary schools in our district get to go to the river and listen to info about the white sturgeon and the efforts to recover their numbers in our water system. Then each child gets to pick a baby sturgeon and name it and release it into the river. Each fish has a barcode in it and can be tracked. Kayleb was a bit nervous to touch it last year but this year he loved it. He named his fish "smartie pants". Thayne loved his fish but was not so sure about the touching part. Cute pics though huh.
