Baby Bump...Or is that a Basketball!

This first picture I took a month ago, about 32 weeks. The second picture I took yesterday, about 36 weeks. It is amazing- my belly just keeps growing. I guess thats a good thing. I am wearing the same shirt in both of these pictures and you can tell how much tighter it is getting!


I feel like a I have been pregnant for a long time, but at the same time it has gone so fast. I am so anxious to see this little girl!

Thanksgiving

We had Thanksgiving this year with some friends again. Richards parents live here and invited us over. I am so Thankful for the wonderful friends that we have.
I wanted to take some pictures for our Christmas card while we were here, but Jake wouldn't shave his mustache. He was doing a fundraiser at school, but I don't think he made any money. (Who makes money off a mustache?) Jake loves it anway, he would use any excuse to grow a mustache!
They have a couple horses, when we first got there Dickie brought out some apples to feed them. Whit really liked looking at the horses but he didn't dare to give them any apples.
After dinner we walked to the playground at a church across the street from their house and let the kids play.
And of course, we can't forget all the yummy food we stuffed ourselves with. It was delicious. I made my moms yummy rolls and some chicken noodle gravy that Jakes Grandma always makes for Thanksgiving (ever since the first time I had it, I can't have Thanksgiving without it).

Halloween Fun!

Halloween started a week early with our ward "Trunk-or-Treat". I really wanted to dress up our family together and so at that last minute we decided to be pumpkins. It was actually pretty easy. I was also so excited about our hats that I made. I thought they turned out perfect, and Whit loves hats so I think he was excited we were all wearing matching hats.
Whit loved his costume too. He just kept saying "Puunk" all night, and loved to look in the mirror at himself.
This is Whits girlfriend Samantha, who he absolutely loves. He calls her "Sampatha" and talks about her all day. He was so excited when he got to go "Trit-er-Treat" (thats what how he says it) with her. Whits pumpkin costume was mostly torn apart by the end of the Trunk-or-Treat night, so for Halloween he got to be his monkey again from last year (ya, it still fit him, only a little short) that he was just as excited about. He did pretty good trick-or-treating as long as he could eat his candy as we walked. But by the end of our little circle he could hardly carry his pumpkin. Everyone must have thought he was so cute because they would give him handfuls of candy.

This pumpkin patch was so much fun. Whit loved wondering through the field looking at all the pumpkins. Then he got to play in the little area full of corn kernels. The kids just loved it. But of course... Whits favorite part was riding the tractor, their was this miniature tractor just his size that he loved to drive.


We can't forget about carving pumpkins. Whit had so much fun scooping out all the guts with his little shovel.



I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. We sure did!

Whits growing up to fast!

Well, get ready for a really long post. I have just been so busy, or should I say Tired!
Whit loves to talk on the phone, he's just jabbering away.
Whit has always loved the theme song from Two and a half Men. I recorded the song on my phone and he loves to listen to it and sing to it.

This last video are the monkeys at the zoo. They were being so loud, Whit thought the sound was an ambulance.

It's beginng to look a lot like Fall.

It is so pretty right now, I just love the fall weather. Their are so many trees here in Virginia, so the fall is very colorful. The leaves have just been starting to change and some falling off the trees. We have a big tree right behind our house and our patio is always full of leaves, so the other day I swept them into a big pile and sure enough Whit thought it was for him to play in.

My cute monkey boys at the zoo.
Whit loves hats. If he sees one laying around it has be worn either by Jake or him, but I love it when he puts on this beanie.

Camping Trip

During Jake's fall break we got to go camping with some friends. It was so nice to just go and enjoy a little bit of the outdoors. We made tin foil dinners, made campfire pancakes (they were delicious) and had s'mores and hot chocolate of course. Whit absolutely loved it. He has never felt so free before, to just be outside all day and all night.

Once we got into the park, Jake let Whit sit on his lap and help him drive. (Whit wasn't really helping, he kept trying to turn into the trees, but he loved it anyway.)
Yeah, we finally have a tent. I can't wait to go camping some more. Luckily we camped right next to the bathrooms, since I have a baby sitting on my bladder.
While we were putting up the tents the guys found a little mesh strap and instantly new what is was for... A Sexy Thong of course! We couldn't help ourselves but to take a picture.
Fun family memories.

White Coat Ceremony

This is the White Coat Ceremony VCU did at the school a few weeks ago. So they are officially in the clinic now (even though they have been all semester).
I went into the school a few weeks ago to have a check-up and get my teeth cleaned. Jake did the whole exam, he did such a good job. I am so proud of him. That was the best visit I have ever had to the dentist. Thanks Jake you're awesome!This is one of the Dr.'s at the school who coated Jake.

This is just my Handsome Dr. He just looks so serious and ready for business with his coat on.

These are all Jake's buddies he goes to school with.

We are so glad to have so many great friends.
All the Wives, don't mind my prego belly.
Here they are thinking about their future!

More tractors...

Whit could never get enough of tractors. We went to walmart to get a movie from the red box, so while we were looking at movies he got to sit on the tractor. (I usually don't let him because he screams and cries when it's time to get off and I hate to deal with it.) When we first put him on, we put a couple quarters in to make it go and he wanted to get out, he was scared that it was moving. (He used to hate it when he was a little smaller, but I thought he would like it now...Nope.) As soon as it stopped he wanted to get back in and he played in it for probably 10 min. then still threw a fit when it was time to get out, but at least I had Jake there to help this time! He has so much fun. I love how he knew exactly what to do when I told him to drive it.

Trucks, Tractors & More

Whit's favorite thing to do is watch the trucks and tractors... in our apartment complex they are always doing some road work so their are lots of trucks around. We always hear them backing up... "Beep, beep, beep beep" is what whit talks about all day while he plays with his trucks.

At the end of the day they park them right by our street, so we have to walk by them and say "Hi, Bye" to the tractors. I decided it wouldn't hurt to let him sit on it for a picture. If he was old enough he would probably go help the workders everyday!

This is a tractor at the playground that he loves to sit and bounce in.

Whit was playing with his cars and trucks and then he started saying the same thing he says for "Ring around the Roses".

Tickle Party

I can never get enough of Whit laughing. Whit loves it when Jake tickles him. They are so cute when they play together, no wonder he's a Daddy's Boy.

Mommy Time!

Sunday after dinner is such a fun time to play and spend good family time together. After being in nursery, Whit loves to sing songs and especially do Ring around the Rosey.
He was in such a big kissing mood I guess, everytime we sat down he wanted to just give me hugs and kisses. Thanks Whit, I Love You Too!
Once we do ring around the roses one time, it never ends. Whit wants to do it over and over agian. His favorite part is "All fall Down" and he jumps and lands on his bum so hard. I think we only did it once together, and then he made dad get up and do it with us. The whole time he just sings, "Pompeda, pompeda, down! to the tune of the song. I'm not really sure how he got that.
