We are having a baby GIRL!!!

Happy Halloween

This year I was SO SO SOOOO excited my parents came out the week of Halloween so we were able to do all of the fun Halloween things with them!

We went to the apple orchard at Carter Mountain so we could see all the leaves and ate at Michie Tavern which is a little log cabin restaurant that has an awesome view of the mountain

We took Beck to feed the ducks at the park

We took a day trip to Gettysburg. Me and Dane watched the Gettysburg movie a couple months ago so I was really excited to go again and see where everything took place.

My dad rocked the afro (but wouldn't wear it to the ward party, shame on you) and I LOVE my mom's witch's costume...she had a fun idea to use the same costume every year but add to it every year, so imagine how great it's going to be 5 years from now!

These pictures were all taken before the ward party...when Beck woke up from his nap we were all already dressed for the party and he didn't quite know what to think about our transformation, the poor thing was so confused, this is the look that was on his face 90% of the night

Yikes Dane definitely was one SCARY witch!! My favorite part was when he came downstairs after he was all dressed up and asked my mom if his chest was too perky...or maybe that he wore my bra so that his stuffing wouldn't fall out...or maybe it was after we got home when he took off his tutu in the kitchen and lounged around the house in his tights in front of all of us...once again YIKES!!!

Dane and Beck both LOVE my friend Emily's darling little girl Claire

Beck and one of his best buds Jack right before Trick-or-Treating...there is nothing cuter than watching these two run around the neighborhood together in their little costumes. It didn't take long for their sugar high to kick in and it was very entertaining.

Beck had no problem at all figuring out how the whole Trick-or-Treating thing works. I just hope he realizes that it only happens once a year...I'm worried that now everytime I knock on someones door he's going to say "Trick-or-Treat" when they open it. My favorite was at the ward party when some of the girls gave him an extra piece of candy and told him that it was for his mom since they knew that me and him would battle for the candy when we got home.

Me and my girls - how cute are they!?

The Ugly Duckling Party

Me and Sara guarding the treat table before the party

Every thursday night all of the girls in the ward get together for "scraps" we don't scrapbook we just get together to talk all night it's awesome! A while ago Sara had a brilliant idea to do a themed scraps and called the it the "ugly ducking party" everybody that came had to bring the most hideous picture of themselves that they could find from the ugliest stage of their life and then Sara put them all in a slideshow, it was SO FUNNY. Everybody's pictures were of course from middle school or junior high - the ugliest years of pretty much everyone's life - and we played a game where we had to guess who everyone was during the slideshow which I thought would be simple but it wasn't! There were some miraculous transformations haha. Before the party I called my mom and dad to have them send me an "ugly duckling" picture and they said they couldn't choose just one so they sent several...should I be offended? Just kidding
