I know, I know....

OK so I officially suck at blogging. I have a lot to update you all on and I am hope I don't forget anything. So since my last (and only) post we have moved. Yes, I know a shocker to some of you. We got the opportunity to move into a bigger house so we took it. Upon moving in we decided to paint most of the rooms in the house plus try and move out of our other house. Needless to say we were really busy for a 2 week period. One night Scott and I went to our old house to finish cleaning up and to clean the carpets and we got there at 2pm and Scott left the next morning at 8am. We are all moved into the new house now, not all unpacked yet but moved in.

Here is our front door/porch decorated for Autumn.

Bryer has started preschool. She goes Mondays and Wednesdays for 2 hours in the morning. She loves it. Every week they do a different letter of the alphabet. She is learning The Pledge of Allegiance and new songs. It has been good for her to interact with kids her age more. We have done one field trip with her class to the pumpkin patch.

Emerson is a terror. Full on terror. Between climbing, hitting, pushing and lack of a vocabulary I want to lose my mind some days. However, his good moments of comedy, cleverness and cuteness make up for all the, for lack of a better word, "bad" moments.




Our trip to the Pumpkin Patch this year started off well. Overcast and chance of showers. About 1/2 thru the trip the chance of showers turned into rain. I know surprise surprise we live in WA and it is raining. At the point of rain Scott was over our visit and just wanted to leave. (Here is where I add cool parenthetical sentences like Chris. I was over the pumpkin patch before I ever got in the car. It rains every year, it is muddy, I have to wheel around 70 pounds of pumpkins while we look at every pumpkin God ever made, then to top it all off I get to pay 10 times what I would pay if I had just purchased the pumpkins at a grocery store like everyone else. P.S. Ask me how many times Emerson "fell" in the mud.) I insisted on picking up some different varieties of pumpkins and squash so he took the kids in the activity barn to play and visit with the animals. After the Pumpkin Patch we went to a cafe with the fam for brunch.





The night prior to our yearly excursion to the Pumpkin Patch I found a yellow female lab friend for Kobo on craigslist. I emailed the owner to find out if we could meet the puppy. It was going to work out so well since both the puppy and the Pumpkin Patch were in Orting, WA. We did not hear from the owner until we got in the car from the cafe to come home. He said we could stop by and visit with the puppy "Mya." To make a long story short that day we brought home a new female yellow lab (whom we have renamed "Kinder") so that Kobo had a friend.



Scott is officially 1 year older. We celebrated his birthday yesterday. We didn't do much. He worked and I stayed home with the kids. We got him a Pumpkin Cheesecake from Olive Garden because he loves it. When he came home he made dinner ( I know.... Emerson is sick so I was holding him. He wanted nothing to do with Scott.) We ate and then had cheesecake. Watched a little TV (The Rocky Horror GLEE Show) and went to bed. Exciting night, don't be to jealous.

Lastly, I am almost 36 weeks along. I am tired, uncomfortable and ready for this pregnancy to be over with. This is the only pregnancy for me thus far where I am having contractions. With Bryer and Emerson I feel like I could have been pregnant forever had the Dr. not induced me. With this pregnancy I feel like I might actually go into labor before I schedule an induction day. We will see. My mom thinks it will happen before Thanksgiving.

  5. Sarah, Veronica and Brandi thanks for all the nice comments. I am excited for all of us to have our babies too. It is really exciting that we are all so close. The more I think about it the more excited I get.
    Chris, Scott says "OK, he wants to know if since they are in brackets they are not parenthetical sentences are they brackenthetical?"

  7. It's unanimous...Your house is beautiful...AND humongous!! Now I want to see pictures of your decorating on the INSIDE. I'm so glad you found time to blog, Shelby. I kept laughing every time I saw your blog listed on Brandi's sidebar: Let's give this blog thing a try (or something like that). HA, ha! That's exactly how my blog would go...except that that would literally be my only post. Anyway, there was a lot of info. in this entry, but I'll do my best to be brief: You look great! The kids look great! Scott looks wet. And your blog made me laugh. Keep 'em comin'! =)
