Happy Halloween!

So I realize this post is a little late. Someone relocated our camera, and I finally found it last night. Liv had so much fun with Halloween. We carved pumpkins together a couple night before. Livvy really like the pumpkins seeds, and started carrying one around and calling it "Honey." She knew which one Honey was too. It was pretty funny.

















Livvy went as Belle (a bundled up Belle!) She was SO excited to finally wear her Belle dress. Daddy was an army guy and mommy was a snowboarder.























We were out for 2 hours and finally told Liv we had to come home because it was time to get ready for bed. She would have stayed out all night. She had so much fun. She was a great little trick-or-treater too. She would walk up to a door and knock and then say "trick-or-treating" (she always added the "ing" to it for some reason.) She'd get her candy and say "tank you." After we got home we still had kids coming by our house so we left Liv help hand out candy as we were getting ready for bed. She would pick up the candy bowl and wait for kids and get so excited when she saw some coming. It was great.




This is a video I took of Liv a couple days after Halloween. She was running in circles around a pillar we have while talking on her phone. She got a little camera shy once she say me taping her, but it was so funny.

They're Finished!

I got the stocking finished finally. I was a little afraid to put the letters on, because once on, they weren't coming back off. They turned out really well though I think.

The baby's looks the same as in the last picture since I don't have a name to put on it yet.

Stockings Almost Finished!

I got all of our Christmas stockings sewn together! They are finished, expect for putting on the names.

Christmas Stockings

I decided to make Christmas stocking for my family. My cousin was making some, and I liked the idea. Liv still doesn't have one, and Marcus and I just have generic ones from when we were first married. I thought making us all ones would be fun. This is just a picture of the fabrics - I haven't started putting them together yet.

Marcus' is the one of the left and mine is the one on the right.

Livvy's is on the left and the new baby's is on the right.

Lack of Exterior Plumbing

So we had our ultrasound this past Thursday and then went up to Orem for Justin's blessing the next day so I haven't had a chance to announce our baby. The ambilical cord was between the baby's legs the whole time, but the doctor finally gave us a fairly confident "I'm going to say that due to a lack of 'exterior plumbing' it looks like a girl." So we are having a girl! We are super excited. We even asked Livvy what we should name her, and so far she has only come up with "I'm not a boy." I'm not sure we will go with that, but it could be helpful during those first few months when people have a tricky time. (Even when dressed in pink flowers there are still some people who tell you what a precious boy you have!) The due date stayed the same as well, and the baby is due on Jan 25, the day before Liv's 3rd birthday.

Livvy's Belle Dress

Here are a couple pictures of Livvy's Belle dress. I decided I would try to make one for Halloween. (BTW - I made it a size 4 so she could have it for a while, that is why it looks big, it is.) It turned out ok. Not magical, but hopefully it will at least make it till Halloween. She loves it though!

Livvy's Curtains

The pics aren't very good because her room was dark, but her window was really bright. :)
