New Ultrasound pics!

Okay, Picture #1 (left) ~ the 1st ultrasound: Looks pretty obviously a boy, right? Well, note Picture #2 (right) ~ No winky in sight & 3 white lines. For those of you unfamiliar with this ~ it signifies a GIRL. (You can click on the pictures to enlarge them if you want)
The views were a little fuzzy, so we're still leaving it open to go either way. But it's probably a girl. Sorry for the confusion ~ she must've been playing a pretty good trick on us the first time around! ;)
And for any of you worried about my news being anything horrific ~ there's no concerns that we know of. She's healthy & well ~ we just goofed on the sex! I think she's gonna be a prankster personally ;)

The profile of her face ~ kinda looks like she's sucking her thumb ;)

Halloween Fun '08

Halloween was eventful this year. This was the first time Addie really knew what was going on ~ so she was pretty excited. She's still yelling "trick-or-treat" at me and thinks she's going to get more candy if she dresses up again ;) Our friends, the Tretos, had a costume party, as well. It was so fun to get together & see everyone let loose & dress up! Great idea guys!!

Pumpkin carving ~ Addie enjoyed pulling the mush out from inside & coloring the face with her markers. Jordan made a masterpiece with his "Nightmare before C-mas" guy. And, of course, Dave did all the hard work ~ thanks Babe!

Our lil' Halloween kittie ~ she posed this way, on her own.

Addie Fairy Princess & her magic chicken! J/K This is her lil' bud, Kenny, she went trick-or-treating with.

She got that "asking for candy" thing DOWN PAT.

And the "eating it all after" thing too.

Ad had to try on Momma's wig before the big party.

The Pirate & his damsel in distress ~ it was Dave's idea for the chain. Funny boy! Pretty good for last minute DI, huh?

The Host & Hostess (Rockabilly girl & Wolverine) Aka: Amber & Ed

Rocky showed up with Mr. T ~ who took all the awards for best costume!! ;) Crazy guy really shaved his head this way! Hee hee (Julie & Alan)
Even the candidates showed up. Except McCain hooked up with Hillary?!@ What is going on in this election?? J/K Our friends Adam & Tanya. He did do a pretty good impersonation though. (And, sorry ~ this was my best attempt at putting these pictures side by side.)

Heather's done it again! (Jordan pics)

My friend, Heather, took Jordan's pictures about a week ago. They turned out awesome! (as with everything else she's ever done) We've been hasseling him now that he needs to be a male model! ;) You can check out more of him on her photography blog (link on my "friends" list to the right) & even link to Flickr from there to see the rest of them. She's pretty great ~ let me know if anyone is interested in having yours done & I'll let her know.

Colorado Trip

We made a trip out to Colorado this October to see my brother, Jesse and his family, coming back from Air Force assignment in Japan. We hadn't seen them in 3 whole years! It was great to catch up & to finally meet Skyler (their littlest). My whole family came out (minus a few spouses). But pretty much everyone was there & it was crazy! ~ but FUN. Mom & Dad made lots of plans & we kept busy, that's for sure. Check it out below: WARNING: there are LOTS of posts here. The next like 7 or so posts are dedicated to this trip!

Addie had a kick getting ready to fly in the plane. She was SO excited!

Hangin' out at Grandma & Grandpa's

The big highlight for the kids was getting Grandpa to give them a ride around the yard :) Yahoo!



My lil' brooders (Jesse, Jordan & Justin) And Lindsay & Skyler, of course.

Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo

One of our many ventures in Colorado ~ took us to the Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo. A beautiful zoo actually ON the mountainside. We had beautiful views while we watched all the animals. It's really a neat setting, just requires a little more exercise to push a stroller around! ;) We had lots of fun though ~ it's one of my favorite places there.
