Happy Halloween!

This Halloween, being nine months pregnant, I decided to embrace the belly and use it for my costume. Jared painted a pumpkin on my tummy and we hung out with our neighbors and handed out candy. Jared wore the famous Michael Jackson mask and we had a fun night. A few kids were afraid to come to our house because of the scary mask, but what's Halloween without a scare?





Creepy Michael mask!



There I am in allll my glory.

Halloween is on it's way!

I saw this and had to have it!

Our house

My sisters have been asking for pictures of our house so here are a few. I started in the laundry room and worked my way up. I'll have to post our third floor and bedrooms on another post because they didn't all fit. I'm still trying to figure out this blogging thing. Megan I need your help!

At the fair. Dancing dogs, cutest giraffe, and of course the talking Dickie's guy. We ate way too many fried foods and walked around for hours. I thought I was going to go into labor by the end of the day, but no it was just the fried chicken bacon. A couple days later and feeling much better, we feel we've been there and done that as far as the fair is concerned and will wait a couple years before we go again.

Ohh baby!

34 weeks...... and counting! Here's some pics of the nursery so far. It's almost done. Yay!!

This Month........

Okay, so we broke down and started a blog(with help from Megan!). We're excited to share pictures and thoughts with you all and hope we can maintain it.

Lately, we've been getting the house ready for baby Gavin(that's the name of the month), to enter the world, and our lives. We're getting so excited! We have 5 more weeks!!!! We can hardly wait! I'm still teaching all my spin and water aerobic classes and joke with the members that maybe one day soon my water will break while I'm on the spin bike. I think it's funny, Jared thinks it's scary, and the members probably think it's weird, but I'm still going strong and they keep asking me to put off my maternity leave and stay a bit longer, so we'll see how long I keep going. Jared is back on OMFS and busy with call, surgeries, and the clinic. He's been getting great exposure to everything (I mean it! He sees the weirdest stuff!). He's has a month back on service and then he'll start neuro. It's an exciting time for him and he keeps getting great evaluations. Last month he was on psych and at the end in his evaluation they commented that having Jared on their service was not like having a student, but a colleague. I'm very proud of him.

The state fair is here and we're going to try and check it out this weekend. How could we pass up deep fried twinkies, corn dogs, ferris wheels, and cattle contests? Hopefully, we'll remember to take a camera and post some pictures.

We miss you all and can't wait to see you during the holidays!
