"Trit Treat"

"Trit treat, trit treat!" We heard this at every single house we went to tonight and I never got tired of hearing it. Spence and Jaidyn had a blast going out in their costumes and Spence kept saying "no home, no home". After the very first house we went up to and got lots of candy, Spence turned around and said "Momma, more trit treat, more trit treat!" and at the same time I was holding Jaidyn and she was signing "more". Spence was so excited about his "firetruck man" costume (that is what he called it) and the fact that it came with a siren that sounded just like a firetruck. The little kids around us would say here comes the fireman boy. It was pretty funny and I really liked it because I always new where he was in the dark. Jaidyn also loved going up to the doors to get her candy too, and we actually learned tonight that she is a little on the greedy side. She was always trying to stick her hand back in the candy bowl for seconds. All in all it was a great night out and the kids only got scared at a couple of costumes going up for candy at the same time with them, but Spencer and I were pretty sure those trick-o-treaters were DRIVING too.

Oh yes, pregnant again :)

We really could not NOW be more excited to be pregnant with baby #3. At first it was a little shocking and crazy for us but, we knew we wanted more children and God continues to bless us. After having such a hard time getting pregnant with Spence and going through the fertility process, you learn that each time it happens on its own, it's truly a miracle and blessing. We are NOT complaining and we realize that we are currently in a fast pace mode with having children. At our last doc appt we also found out that we are currently 90% sure it is a BOY. This is even more exciting for Spencer and I because we really wanted to sandwich Jaidyn in between two brothers. It works out great for us and will hopefully make our life's a little easier one day.

Definitely my last...

I decided that God was trying to tell me something when I started off my last 5K on the pavement. There was a little boy that knocked over the man beside me and into me and made the man in front of me brake, which caused the man behind me to step on my heels, and lets just say the knees did not look pretty. That will be my last race until baby #3 arrives. I know you all didn't think, "last baby"? Ask me after #3 gets here:) It's was definitely a good race and I still finished with my best time ever, 25:35 and came in second in my division. Spence also decided to do the 1 mile fun run and we had a good time running that together. I think I can see the passion of running in him, maybe. I hope. He's a great runner already and loves being outside anyway. This race was also special to Spencer and I because it was the first race that our dental office has sponsored locally. We received "sponsor" shirts and got a beautiful marble plaque for that too. The Marble Festival is a full day of races, parades, and festivities for all ages. We look forward to doing this again!

Good stuff caught on video!!

Here are a few videos of Jaidyn and Spence. The first one is of Jaidyn walking in the leaves for the first time and Spence playing with his mower. This is 2 1/2 weeks after she has started to walk. Another is when Jaidyn decided to climb in one of her toys that was actually suppose to be for her baby doll to sit in. She still thinks it is for her, but can't quite figure out why she keeps getting her legs stuck:) The last one on youtube is Jaidyn working on her ABC's and some of her words she likes to say. I LOVE THESE KIDS! They are always making us laugh. Please continue to scroll down to see the other 2 videos. Thanks!!!

Lots of fun stuff to share!!!

The other night Spencer and I were talking briefly about how busy we stay and how it really makes time fly by, but we also agreed that it's worth it. We both really enjoy taking Spence and Jaidyn to see and experience new adventures. Sometimes I really hate the fact that I can't capture all the initial reactions on camera. Most of the time, their faces and comments are priceless and you can't ever relive it, except in your mind and in conversation with each other. We've had a lot of fun lately doing a lot of new and exciting things, especially now that Spence understands more of the conversations that Spencer and I have. For example, when he overheard us talking about going to the TN/FL football game, he insisted on going. Truly insisted, until we finally said okay. We loved taking him and tailgating at the stadium. He got to do something I know you all would love to do:) He loved watching the band go by right in front of him, literally within 2-3 feet, while we sat and watched outside the stadium on the curb. We all 3 got to sit together the entire game which was really exciting and lots of fun for us too.

Spencer and I also took our kids to the rodeo. They had a lot of fun and Spence loves to talk about it. He calls it the "yodeyo". They let all the kids go out in the middle to jump in a big pile of hay and search for hidden toys. Spence also got to ride a what he called the "cow choo choo" which was pretty funny to watch. Both of them enjoyed dressing in their boots and seeing all the real cowboys and cowgirls. It was good family fun and definitely a true adventure for all of us. Now we are getting excited to take the kids to get their passports so that we can make a trip to Alabama for Adi's 1st birthday party!!! Can't wait to see our cousins:)
