November

What a busy month November was.  From two sets of visitors to a birthday and a holiday.  Could November have gotten any busier.  Yes, I am sure that it could have.   We loved.  Thanks to those who came and visited us. Happy Birthday to my great husband.  So many things to be thankful for this year.  Enjoy my look back at November in pictures.

Halloween

This year again we took the boys to the truck or treat at the church for about an hour and then we went around just a few of the streets in our neighborhood.  Just about very house in our neighborhood had their lights on.  They even brought in port a pottys for the people who come from outside of our neighborhood.  It was pretty crazy.  We saw people driving from house to house, using golf carts and ATVs with trailers going from house to house.  Justin was superman and Jacob was a dragon.  Red even dressed up this year for the truck or treat at the church as a pirate.

Field Trip with Jacob's class

We took Jacob on Justin's field trip thinking that Jacob's class was not going to the pumpkin patch, but then after we took him, I got the note saying that Jacob's class would be going to the SAME pumpkin patch.  Needless to say, going the second time was not as fun, but nice because it was so late in Oct.  and Jacob's class was smaller so not that many people were there.

Field Trip with Justin class to the pumpkin patch

So here I am catching up on a few late posts.  We just get so busy that I forget to blog and then I get way behind like I am now.  Here goes it.

So way back in October Red, Jacob and I went to the pumpkin patch with Justin kindergarten class.  One thing we have learned out here is that pumpkin patches are not pumpkin patches.  This was a farmers market type place were they had plowed the corn down and put out some pumpkins for you to "pick" .  Red and I just laughed because you took a hayride out to "pick" your pumpkin.  They boys had a great time any ways.  Justin got to "pick" his pumpkin learn all about corn and what you use it for, all about ice cream and how its made, he got to stuff a scarecrow, learn how you make apple cider and to taste it, plus he got to learn all about different pumpkins.  It was overall a fun morning for us. 

Baby # 3

Yes, its true we are having baby number 3!!  Due date May 21, 2011.  We are so happy.

Baxter

Welcome to the family Baxter.  AKA Phlea Baxter Rademacher   I found Baxter on the side of the highway when I was taking Jacob to school in the storm last week.  He was sitting on a orange road  cone.  I drove by him the first time and was like that's a kitten. So after dropping off Jacob I headed back to see if I could find him.  Sure enough he was still sitting on the cone.  I drove past him again and then had to turn around so that I could find a safe place to pull over.  I ran over to him and he said some not so nice Kitty words and off we went back to the house of a warm bath and drying off.  He was soaking wet.  I did call Red and told him that I has rescued a kitten off the side of the highway.  Of course he said OHH NO!  But we have all grown to love the spunky little guy.  He loves Molly and Molly loves him.  So welcome to the family Baxter.

My first belly cake

A friends baby shower was last month so I decide to make a belly cake for the shower.  What a long process.  But I loved it and learned and lot from making the cake.  Yes, I would make it again.  Now I know how much time to give myself and  how to do it.  I loved making the belly cake what a fun shower idea.
