Our Little Stinker

Gabe was a skunk for Halloween. I took him to Other Mothers when they put out all of their costumes. When we put this one on him I couldnt resist buying it. It was actually one from Old Navy that I wanted to buy for him last year but didn't want to spend that much on. He looked sooo cute! We got together at Grandma and Grandpa's house to take pictures with the cousins. Kyle was a dog and Violet was Princess Aurora.

Trick or Treating Bag!

On Halloween I was thinking about what I would have Gabe us for Trick or Treating. I didnt have one of those little pumpkin buckets. We always used pillowcases. I thought that a pillowcase would be a little large for him to carry especially since we weren't planning on taking him to too many houses. I remembered that I had some fabirc that I bought for another project and never used so I decided to make him a bag. I think that it turned out really cute. I made it reversible so he can use which ever side he wants to. It took me about 2 hours from start to finish. I think that I could do it faster if I ever decide to make another one!

Pumpkin Carving

The day before Halloween we decided to carve our pumpkins. Unfortunately I only got a picture of one of them finished. I carved Gabe's pumpkin. I also helped Jon clean out his pumkin for carving. His was one that we grew in our garden. A lady that he works with gave us starters. When the pumkins started to grow they were yellow instead of green. We figured out that the pumpkins and yellow squash had been crossed so what we got was a big yellow pumpkin. I was harder to clean out but much easier to carve! Jon took the lovely picture of me!

Four New Posts Below This One

So, it has been awhile since I downloaded the pictures off of our camera. This morning in my free time here I downloaded our most recent pictures and created four new posts. For those of you who don't know I am back on modified bedrest due to yet another complication in this pregnancy. There is now a corner of the placenta that has pulled away. I am hoping that it will heal and that all will be well. My next Dr. appt. is next thursday the 30th so I will do another post then to keep everyone updated. The good news is that the baby is growing well and she is in the 85th percentile for her growth so none of this is affecting her. She is very active and constantly moving. I am afraid that when she gets here I am really going to have my hands full so I am trying to enjoy this chance to take it easy!

COOL KID

Gabe loves to try on sunglasses. But, he never wants to wear them when there is sun in his face. He puts them and and says, "So Cool!"

In Someone Elses Shoes

Gabe's favorite new thing is to try on other peoples shoes. I think that the top picture is my FAVORITE! We were at Aunt Chelsea's house. He put on her Crocs and stepped on a book so that he could go through all of the books in her entertainment center. He is in his diaper because Aunt Chelsea gave him a full glass of milk and he spilled all over himself. The other pictures are of him wearing my boots. The one in the middle is of him trying to walk in them. He went a little pigeon toed.

FUN AT THE PUNKIN PATCH!

A couple of weeks ago a group of people from our ward went to Linder Farms. I took Gabe and we had so much fun. He got to go on his first hayride! They also had a maze made out of hay bales. He got a chance to go to the pumpkin patch and pick out his very own pumpkin! It was very cold and windy but we had a blast. The first picture was supposed to be him holding his pumpkin but he ended up throwing it instead. He told me it was "heby"(heavy). The hayride took us around the pumpkin patch. Gabe got so excited and kept shouting, "punkins! Punkins!"
