Bennett Farms 2014

Today after church, we loaded up and headed to the Pumpkin Patch at Bennett Farms with Uncle Jake and Misty.

Checking out the animals with her daddy.

The goat was the only thing she would pet. She touched the rabbit but then hid her face and wouldn't touch it again for me to snap a picture.

This girl is becoming pretty attached to her Uncle Jake.

On the hay ride

Yes I am huge but we had to document the occasion. Life is about to change for all of us.

After picking out our pumpkins we headed back home to carve them.

Helping Misty clean out the guts. Ya'll she is not afraid to get her hands dirty. She loved it.

After the week we had it was nice to just get away and enjoy some time together. Now on to prepare for Carter's arrival which is quickly approaching. :)

Natalie: 10 months

At 10 months you:

• weigh 20 lbs.
• are 27 1/4in. tall
• wear size 9 - 12 month clothes; some 18 months depending on the brand
• still only have 4 teeth
• are crawling and pulling up on everything
• jabber constantly (we would all love to know what you were saying)
• can say momma FINALLY (It was worth the wait to hear those words)
• also say dada and hey.
• love to talk on the phone to Papa every night
• have developed your own little personality and it is precious



As you can see she is not still long enough for anything. Taking these pictures is becoming a chore. :)

Light at the end of the tunnel....Maybe?!?

Things are starting to look up with the house. It seems like we have been at a stand still for a while. We would get a shipment and everything would be lined up for people to come work and the shipment would be wrong or who ever was coming out that day was held up at another job.
This past week our counter tops have been installed and this weekend our tile was laid. It's finally starting to come together and look more and more like our home. They are suppose (I have learned not to get my hopes up) to come tomorrow to install faucets and all that good stuff to check the plumbing.

I am completely in love with my cabinets.

Tile Shower in the Master before grout

Future fire place

It's pretty hard to get far enough back to get the entire house in the picture at the right angle so that you can see everything. Hopefully I'll get a better picture once the grading is complete. Maybe by the end of the week. :) You can tell though that siding and shutter are up. We are waiting on brick for the front and the siding painted.

If things continue we just might be able to get in before Carter makes his debut :)

Carter Daniel

I have fallen behind in keeping ya'll updated on Carter. In my defense though I have a VERY ACTIVE 9 month old who is into EVERYTHING and Carter continues to grow daily. Things are still going well with Carter. I have made it to 33 weeks with no blood pressure issues yet. I am miserable by the end of the day especially on the days Natalie really is into everything and I am having to chase her down. My doctor is very pleased with the progress we have made this pregnancy and still has me on 2 week appointments. By this point with Natalie I was going weekly not to mention she was born at 34 weeks and well that will be next week so if I seem to be on pins and needles its because I am a nervous wreck. I am further behind on having everything ready that I was with Natalie. I said that I was going to be better prepared this time but between building a house and keeping up with Natalie I just can't seem to get things for him done, plus we don't have a whole lot of room to put things in the trailer. (We hope to be in the house by the middle of October which is cutting it close.)
Thankfully, Katie threw Carter a baby shower this weekend for family. It was perfect. Carter now has enough clothes to get him home if nothing else. Things are starting to come together for him as the day quickly approaches. It was nice getting to see everyone and watch the babies play. They had a ball and I don't know about Kynlee and Will but my child was exhausted.

I see TROUBLE wrote all over their faces :)

Natalie was excited to see Will

As long as things continue to go well, Carter is set to arrive October 30. Although we are not where near prepared for him we are ready to meet him and complete our little family. :)
