Happy Halloween

This year Audrey decided to be a Lady Bug. I have to say she made quite a cute little LadyBug. We went to Brian and Jaime's ward carnival and trick-or-treat. Audrey had a great time. She got a ton of candy and had fun playing the carnival games.

Mommy Daughter Time

Dennis went on a hunting trip for the weekend. Today Audrey had a primary program practice that she was begging me not to go to. She even tried making me popcorn and said she just wanted to hang out with me. During our conversation Dennis called and told her she did not have to go. He suggested that I take Audrey and go do something fun just the two of us. I am so glad he did. I have been wanting to take Audrey up to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle and I thought this would be the perfect time. Audrey was in heaven...seriously that girl has prayed for the butterflies in her prayers for the last 2 years. When we got inside the butterfly house it was priceless. Her face lit up with excitement and pure joy. You were not suppose to touch the butterflies. She was told that if she held really still a butterfly might land on her. She kept getting closer and closer it was killing her not to hold one. She finally got one to go on her hand and that made her month. I am glad I got to spend this time with her before the twins get here. I am really going to miss the one on one time we have had for the last 4 1/2 years. Thanks for the special date Audrey. I love you so much.

Audrey was having a conversation with the butterfly.

She really wanted to touch the butterfly....

Again trying to convince the butterfly to land on her....

She told me was putting her hand below him incase he fell

Audrey put her hand out and did not move hoping and hoping the butterfly would crawl on her hand...

She won it did.... She was in heaven...

My favorite time of the year

I look forward to the pumpkin patch all year long... Yes I know it's just a pumpkin patch but to me there is so much more to it. It is about getting the family together, smelling the yummy carmel popcorn, sticking the kids in the wheelbarrows and taking them for a ride (well Dennis and Brian takes them for a ride!) Seeing the animals, the corn maze, looking at all the huge pumpkins, knowing that fall is finally here, looking at the cute fall decorations, and eating some yummy carmel apples and fudge, listening to the sweet innocent laughter of the happy children! Here are a few pictures to show you what I mean...

The Coatney Cousins (missing Rylee and laney) Yes I know no one is really looking but audrey..hey its my blog

Sydney, a good friend Ellie, and Audrey

Audrey picked out two pumpkins for her brothers!

Audrey, Katie and Emily

After the pumpkin patch we all headed over to at the coatneys house where Dennis, Brian, and Jeff built a slingshot. It was really fun to watch. The pumpkins went far! We also enjoyed some homemade stew, and made Smores. What a great evening!

Dennis shooting a mini pumpkin...

Audrey got in on the action as well.

Swim Class

(This was the only photo I got.. I guess you are not suppose to take photos...understandable I suppose. She has the swimsuit that crosses straps in the back)

I made the decision to enroll Audrey at the YMCA rather than put her in preschool. This was a very hard choice to make but Preschool in WA is expensive. We moved to Washington in August so all of the good preschools were full. I decided that I can teach her what she needs to know before Kindergarten and she can get social interaction through Gymnastics, Swim, and Dance. Last month Audrey did Gymnastics and loved it. This moth she really wanted to try swim. Today was the first day of swim and she was a little nervous when she actually got next to the pool. Once she meet her teacher Jody she jumped right in. I love, love, love her teacher and I am glad that she is taking swim lessons! Before you know it she will be swimming like a little fish without a life jacket!

Do the Puyallup!

Every year I look forward to the fair. It means that fall is just around the corner. I love looking at the displays of crops and canning, the huge pumpkins, the smell of all the yummy fair food, and the atmosphere! This year we ran into some family at the fair the first time. The second time dennis was working late and my sister-in-law was out of town so her husband Jeff and I decided to take the kids to the fair. It was funny running into people that we knew and they would look at us like who is she or who is he... lol Sydney and Audrey loved the trampolines... Can you blame them? If I was not pregnant I would be on the trampoline too!

Audrey was dangerous with this hula hoop the crazy thing is she actually got it going... How I have no idea.

Looks like fun to me!

All ready to go!

(Tyrell I totally stole this off your blog. Sorry I have friends who are not from here and this is a perfect example of what I was talking about!)

One Day

One Day these little shoes will be filled with one of our little boys tiny feet! I can't believe how small they are. I scored big time with these shoes. I purchased them from Nordstrom Rack for $6.50. Yep thats right Nikes for $6.50.

As far as the pregnancy goes I am now 29 weeks. I am trying to make it to November 9th! All of a sudden it does not seem that far away. I took a test last week to see if I would go into labor before 36 weeks and my test unfortunately came back positive. I was going to finally get doctors apt every two weeks for the first time during this pregnancy but that dream was short lived. In Rexburg a doctors apt every week was not so bad when I lived 5 minutes away, now I have to drive an hour away which stinks. I am still dilated to a 3 and have not progressed any further. I feel huge.

My sisters threw my a great baby shower! Here are some pictures of the night....

My friend made this three wheeler out of diapers, bottles, washcloths, bibs, and socks! It was so cute!

My sister-in-law Melissa made this cake! She has an incredible talent. The monkeys were really cute!

I would add more pictures but my face looks retarded in all the pictures so I guess this is all the pictures you get!
