My sister asked me the other day why I had yet to tell anyone that I was pregnant. I have told a few people but not many. At first it was for obvious reasons then I just kinda forgot. I am 14 weeks, and all is well. I have felt great for the most part. I cannot believe how fast I started to show and how big I already am. What are ya gonna do!! The kids are very excited and we have been trying to pick out some names as a family, it always ends with Andrew thinking it should be Bob and Christian is going with Rock. Glad they aren't picking it.. We don't know what it is yet so we will see, maybe we will go with Rock Bob:)..
The pictures are some of my favorite from my last ultra-sound. It doesn't matter how many children you have it is still pretty amazing seeing a little one on the ultra-sound.. The first picture is of its little leg and knee, so dang cute:)

Well Halloween came and went.. just like that.. I cannot locate my newly updated awesome camera that I can hardly figure out how to use(thanks Melis').. I put it somewhere were I would not "lose" it:) funny how that works, So I have no pictures to offer.

Christian was some creepy "underworld" guy:).. Andrew was a Skeleton with all his bones lit-up.. Grace was Snow White Ballerina.. I was a Pregnant chic and Ryan was a skeleton gone bad, dude.. We love Halloween so it is always fun to get dresses up and go to all the festivities.

This year our little town had a " Party" downtown at city hall. We trick-or-treated all the businesses (i think there is about 11) in downtown. The whole town was at city hall enjoying the festivities. It was really fun. All the businesses are in old houses so just going in them was really fun for us all. We then had friends over for homemade chili and bread. We played games and ate lots of candy. It was a really fun night. Small town festivities are so great, so different. I love it.

Now onto Thanksgiving. It is at my house this year, my sister and I rotate, so I am excited to see everyone. My boys cannot wait to see there cousins they are such good friends. It will be fun to show the big city peeps around our tiny town. I am sure they will be thrilled when I take them to ride sheep for fun:)

We are officially Elizabeth residents.. We have been in our new house about 2 weeks. We love it.. We live in the country, very country. It takes us 30 or so min. to "get into town", its so weird saying that. We do have a local store called Grendils if you need basic items: Milk, eggs, a free goat, or some fresh hay. We have met all our neighbors(i say that word very loosely) they all came over within days of us moving in with homemade goodies and to help us were they could. The people here are so friendly and caring. The town has an email system they use. So everyday we get an email from Kathy (the towns secretary) on everything from news to activities to the weather. Yesterday she let us know that the Tallon's family dog had puppies and will be available to go to a nice home in a couple weeks. :)

The boys love school. They get to ride the bus so they think they are soo cool. I wonder if they realize every child here rides the bus.:). The schooling here is also a lot different than Utah. Denver has the 2nd ranked school district in the nation so things are run in a strict learning atmosphere. I think it is great for the boys, they go to school to learn and learn they will.

I love how simple life is here. There is a Halloween party at Town Hall tomorrow and everyone is suppose to bring some goodies, so Grace and I have been busy getting 200 cupcakes made and decorated. Other than that I have been keeping busy with some sewing projects for Christmas gifts. Christmas is only 2 months away, yeah....

I LOVE Etsy, I am addicted.. I love handmade items and am always looking for a new sewing project. While "surfing" Etsy today I came across two of the most interesting, craziest items I think I have seen to date..

This my friends is a "pad" if you will... I have always wanted a monkey "pad" during my period that I have to hand wash.. Ladies it does come in 14 different patterns and a convenient snap..

I am not sure what to say... If i nursed my children this would definitely be my first choice of a shirt!!!

(I am sorry if I offend someone who wants or even has these items..)

The kids and I went this last weekend to Elizabeth, CO our new home town. Ryan already lives there and LOVES it, which surprises me because it is sooo country and Ryan is so not.. Our goal in me going was to find a house so the kids and I could move. We have decided the being apart is not our cup-o-tea. So after MANY dirt road drives we found our new house..YEAH.. It is on 8 acres so I can have my clothes line..

The kids are so excited to move. I think going there and having them see it was great. The thing they are most excited about is the school bus picks them up in front of the house(they have never rode the bus to school). I cannot wait to get up there with my honey and start out new adventure.....

Ryan left for Denver today.. He has moved up there while the kids and I stay in Utah until I can wrap things up. It is so crazy how things turn out. Life is NEVER what you think it will be or even what you plan it to be, well its not for me. Although I find more times than not, it is better than what I planned or thought.
Taking care of the kids and packing the house will keep me busy until I see Ryan again, which could be awhile. I did not realize we had sooo much stuff until I had to pack it:) I am still tempted to just hire someone, but I think I can do it.
Life really is good, today anyways.
