Happy Halloween

Well, we officially had zero trick-or-treaters again this year. Second time in our three Halloween's since being married. But I'm not too disappointed because that means the bowl full of M&Ms is left for me!

But despite the lack of small children visiting our door, we still had an awesome evening of carving pumpkins! Apparently we're both obsessed with babies because we both tried to make our pumpkins look like a baby. I needed to borrow some of Baby's clothes {he won't need them for 2 more months!} to help my pumpkin look like a baby and not just a crying pumpkin...

Idaho Baby Shower

This weekend, I got to take a little trip up to Idaho where my cute mom and sister threw a baby shower for me {and Baby, of course!}. For a kid that isn’t even born yet, he got more presents than any birthday party I’ve ever been to! I am so fortunate to have amazing friends and family who offer such an outpouring of support and love for me and my little family.

The party looked a little something like this:


There were so many of the ladies that played a huge role in my life as I grew up. Many of them were my youth leaders in church and great friends in the neighborhood.


But I was also fortunate enough to have some of my friends from high school that still live in the area to come by. And three of them brought their own babies! I love babies!!

It would have been a fantastic party just getting to see and spend time with all of these great women! But then they topped it off by all bringing such generous and thoughtful gifts. We got so many cute outfits, a great beginning supply of diapers and wipes, and much more!





I am so grateful for the generosity and adorable gifts that we received. Our baby is gonna be one well-dressed little man!

A little side note: this trip to Idaho was the first time in my married life that I’ve left my husband overnight. We’ve been apart before when he’s had to leave on business trips but it was really odd for me because this time it was me that went somewhere else alone. It was really fun to spend time with my family but I definitely missed my husband! But he had the new FIFA 13 and his XBOX, so I’m not sure if he even noticed I was gone… Ha!
