A Busy November

Coming back from a trip to the park in November. Warm weather almost all of November! We tried to be outside as much as we could.

School pic. I love his smile!

My friend Jen and I did a few craft shows

It was hunting season around here!

We started getting ready for Christmas...

Thanksgiving 

Switching out beds

Just hanging out

We converted Nolan's crib into a full bed. He loves it! So comfy:)

Lots of leaves to rake!

This kid is always working...even dresses like his dad! When I work in my craft room, both Nora and Nolan have their own "office" in my room as well!

She loves getting ready first thing in the morning while Nolan would never change out of his jammies if I left it up to him!

See what I mean! Still in jammies...which is great when we stay home all day. We did this as much as we could because Ryan and I wanted to get things marked off our to do list before Christmas and the baby arriving. Cleaning out all of the storage rooms and basement was top on the list...and moving all the baby stuff upstairs.

We worked hard around here!

Halloween 2015

I didn't take any pictures on Halloween because Nora was sick but these were from the day before...

Not the best pic of all of us but the kids got to trick or treat at Troxell...good thing because this is all Nora got to do!

My "Sprinkle" Shower

My GNO (Girls Night Out) group is the best! This is a great group of girls I'm so glad to be a part of. We go to dinner the first Thursday of the month and always have a blast! 
The first Thursday in November,  they threw me a surprise Baby Sprinkle! We got pedicures and manicures before heading to dinner at Bella Milano. Talk about totally spoiling a mom-to-be, get pampered and then eat an awesome meal! I couldn't get over all of the trouble they went to for me and the thought that was put into it! Thanks again girls, it was a very nice shower and a fun way to celebrate baby number 3!

All the girls:)

I loved all the sprinkles they used, they're my favorite kind! 

This cake tasted just as good as it looked!  So yummy!

Diaper cake

What a great evening!

Grandparent's Day at Blessed Sacrament pre-k 2015

This was Nolan's first grandparent's day at Blessed Sacrament. He was so excited (like you can't tell in the pics) to have his grandparents there and show them around his school. Plus, I think he enjoyed having them to himself! 
I asked the grandparents to take some pictures and they did a great job!

He got a ride to school from MoMo

What a photo! Nana and Papa Tom with the Pope :)




They told me he wanted a picture by the "N" because Nolan starts with "N".







Nora's 3rd birthday

Nora's birthday is at a fun time of year! There's a lot to pack into a few days. With her birthday being the day before Halloween, we enjoyed both birthday and halloween fun! Nolan had his Halloween preschool party that Ryan and I went to. After that, the kids and I stopped by my parent's house for lunch and opened up gifts from them. 
After we rested at home, the kids dressed up and we went to Ryan's work to trick or treat. They had a blast! We left from there to go to Chuckie Cheese for dinner and games. We let Nora pick where she wanted to eat for her birthday dinner and it was a hard decision between the Corner Pub and Chuckie Cheese...if only Uncle Pat had games at the Corner! She picked Chuckie Cheese and their cousins came and joined in on the fun! After full day, we went back home to open up presents, have some cake before going to bed.
The next day, on Halloween,  we were suppose to have Nora's birthday party with her friends but she came down with a fever and the party was cancelled :( We didn't make a big deal about telling her it was cancelled. It helped that the family party was the next day. It ended up being a 24 hour bug so we didnt have to cancel the family party! We had been busy and on the go so it was nice just lay around for a day with Nora not feeling good. Ryan took Nolan trick or treating in the neighborhood and they had a lot of fun while I passed out candy at home.
The next day all of our family came over for dinner and we celebrated again! A pretty good 3rd birthday if you ask me!
