Make your own maternity pants!


Check out a fun trick I learned a while back. I wanted to have some more pants that I could wear while I was pregnant, but did not want pay a ton for maternity jeans that almost always look nerdy or do not fit right. I stumbled onto this "instructable" on how to turn your own regular jeans into maternity pants. I did it to two pairs of my jeans and it was actually really easy and worked great! I wear them more than I do the expensive pair I bought at the maternity clothing store.

Belly Pictures


Here I am at 23 weeks. I took this picture with my phone to send to my sister after she called and asked if I was showing yet :-). I was indeed.


Here is 27 weeks. Yeah....I know, I am huge! I am measuring about as big or bigger than I did when I HAD Jason. 37 weeks is considered full term for twins. Let's see if I can make it 10 more weeks!

Party Time


Making the traditional pinata with daddy for his b-day party.


We had a pretty low key party this year, but Jason loved playing at the Jungle Playland, breaking apart his pinata duck, opening presents, and eating cake. Happy Birthday Jason!

Happy 3rd Birthday Jason!


Happy Birthday big boy! We sure love you!!!!!

Pumpkin Patch Time Again


The forecast was rain rain rain for Saturday, but we braved the elements and went to our favorite pumpkin patch with our friends the Marleys. The weather did not disappoint. Despite our rain coats, rain boots, and umbrellas we all went home pretty muddy and wet. I would have stayed drier if I could have button more than the top 2 buttons of my rain coat. I had a perfect triangle of wetness on my protruding belly :-). It was almost comical to see all the die hard families toting their toddlers through the mud to find a perfect pumpkin. It was worth it though. The look on Jason's face below says it all.


Jason sure loves his buddy Van.


Even though we went to the same pumpkin patch last year we enjoyed it just as much! You get to ride a boat to the pumpkins, watch a shark and lock nest monster jump out of the water, see some haunted pirates, and then ride a train back to your car. My only regret is that I didn't get to take more pictures of us and the green, orange, red, and yellow of the scenery around us. I was worried that my camera would be water logged from the few pictures I did manage to snap. This is truly a beautiful time of year here even though I fear we have hit the rainy season already. You have to love the NW because even as I type this the rain is pouring down outside and yet I can hear my neighbor out mowing his lawn :-).

Fun at the Zoo


Every first Tuesday of the month our zoo has a special $2.00 day. Jason and I meet up with some friends and finally took advantage of the discount. We had a great time even though it was pretty cold and rainy. I forgot my camera. Thanks Katie for the pictures!


Happy Birthday Mom!

We love you! I hope you have a great day. Thank you for being so wonderful.

LED's Again

So I had to do another cool project with LEDs. Here's a video of the finished project.

Heaven

Jase: "Momma, I so happy to be here with you."

Melinda: "Thank you Jason, me too!"

Jase: "Yeah, Momma I came down from Heaven to be with you and Daddy."

Happy October!

I love this time of year. I love the beautiful leaves, the cool sunny weather, the fun apples farms and pumpkin patches, and the festivities of Halloween... I also love that my sweet little Jason will be turing 3.

In the spirit of Fall I thought I would share some fun things:
