For those of you that don't already know........We are expecting. Karl got a little excited and told his family a little early, so if you already know here's an update. We are just starting the second trimester and praying that the symptoms that let us know we are pregnant start to fade. My symptoms have been lots worse this time around, so we haven't made any guesses on the gender. We thought it was fun not to find out so we are waiting again. We have been to the doctors a couple of times. This last time the heart rate was 180, which is high and a little scary, so everyday when i am sick, all day, I am grateful. I think I am just a little paranoid after the last miscarriage. We are sure this is the last, but are not ready to make anything permanent. So I keep thinking this is the last time that.........
I am so excited to be due the same month as two of my other sisters, Jerilyn & surprisingly Monica. Yes, you read right. Monica got married the weekend after Karl and me. They tried to have kids from the start. After lots of doctor visits, they ended up adopting 2 beautiful children, and decided they were done, because of their age. Well, three years later somehow she got pregnant. Kent is going to be a father of a newborn at 49. Lets just say this pregnancy has grown on them since they found out. I am soo happy for them. We are all due in May.

We invited ourselves over to Andy and Robyn's house this year for some pumpkin carving family fun. Well, we thought it was going to more of a competition, but Robyn and Andy must have been afraid and decided to not carve a pumpkin of their own. Maybe next year!!!
Kevin made his pumpkin by himself this year.
Karl, Kevin, & Kort's
Karl- top left, a snake
Kevin- top right, bats
Kort- bottom left, boo He wasn't really into it, so Karl made it. Kort still hasn't noticed that the stem is now on the bottom of his pumpkin.
Sandra- bottom right, cat, which we decided was the winner this year.
This one is mine, Dwight Schrewt.
Every one's
It was a perfect night for carving. Cold enough for hot chocolate and doughnuts, but warm enough to have hot chocolate spilled all over me and not freeze.

Halloween.....Already?
Fall is my least favorite season. That means winter is coming and allergies hit me hard, but it also means BYU football, beautiful mountain scenery, and Halloween. I can't believe we are celebrating Halloween already. My family had a party this weekend. We wanted to do a big corn maze this year and not fight crowds. So we went to Hee Haws. We started off with this trick-or-treat hay ride.
It was all close enough together that the older kids got to run around by themselves. And we went early enough that there wasn't very many people there either.
They had plenty for the kids to do.
Adults too!!
Their favorite activity was this big slide.
The maze was pretty big it took most of us a half hour to do and others it took almost an hour. The kids wanted to go on their own, so we let them go first. We didn't prepare them enough, because they kind of panicked and left the trails, just walking through the corn. Luckily they found Jerilyn who they stayed with the rest of the time. Somehow, they were the first ones out. They still thought it was fun.
That night we started the party.
The kids got dressed in their costumes and did a little trick or treating in the yard. It's fun to see my nieces and nephews every year all dressed up. Then it's time for dinner. We had yummy soup bowls.
The weekend was filled with chocolate caramel covered apples and pretzels, turtle bars, pie and ice cream, doughnuts, cookies, Halloween candy, salsa, artichoke dip, fun, home-made soup, laughs, and surprises. Maybe next time we can do the crafts that we were supposed to do.

pumpkin patch
For F.H.E last week we headed off to a pumpkin patch that we had never been to. It was a cute little farmers market that had any kind if squash that exists.
Kevin had his eyes on this pumpkin before he even got out of the van. It took Kort a lot longer to find his special pumpkin.
The kids spent most of the time in this maze.
It was the best pumpkin patch that we have been to....there's two around here that I know of. I think we have found the better of the two.
