...where did October go? It was funfilled and it was fast! Our month started off with some fun in the leaves and fun at the park. The first time that all three kids really do enjoy something at the same time. That does NOT happen often. We also had Isabelle over for a night which was filled with fun and lots of running and laughing. Quin even had his very own playdate with his buddy Ben!
I have been lucky enough, with the help of a great friend here in town and my mom, to go on a couple fieldtrips with Landon. the first one was to the Fire Station downtown Bloomington. One of the many things I love about Landon's school is they really take advantage of the community. In doing this, they walk to almost ALL their field trips. This one was no exception. I'm not gonna lie, it wasn't easy to help walk a class full of Kindergarteners about 8 blocks while passing through some busy streets, but we all made it to the station and back all in one piece.
The second trip was to AppleWorks apple orchard in Trafalgar, IN. To be honest, the main reason I went on this trip was because I wasn't crazy about Landon going on a school bus an hour away. But in the end, Landon was really glad I went and it was great one on one time that we don't often get in this crazy family of five. I only had two kiddos to keep track of: Landon and his buddy Guy. This place was SO organized and very friendly. I was totally impressed!
This month also brought one last hurrah for my sister Janelle before her big wedding day; her Bachelorette party! What fun we had and I have to thank Janelle's future sister-in-law Shannon, for so graciously opening up her house for the get together. As well as, my mom and Brian's mom, Judy, for all their help in making sure this special day was great! I don't have a ton of pictures only a few but I DO have lots of great memories!
Alexa had her own playdate with her cousin Sabrina. They are two peas in a pod and great buddies. We "made" cookies, decorated them and sang "call me maybe". They dressed up, played tooth fairy and danced a bit too.
Landon is finishing up soccer and only has one game left. This past week, our Landon scored 6 of his teams 8 goals of the game! He did his very best and played really hard.
As Chris embarks on his "busy time of year", if there is one, we found that we needed to reconnect a bit and went on a date on a thursday night. It felt very strange to me to go on a date on a week night, but you gotta do what you gotta do to stay connected:) We went to one of our favorite places, Malibu grill, had a few drinks and called it a night. It was perfect!
Finally, here are just a few random pictures of the kids. Have a great weekend!
We had our annual family/landon's birthday pictures taken last weekend and I will give you a peek at Landon's pics.

This past weekend was an eventful one. We drove down for Mason's birthday party that was on Saturday. I wasn't feeling too great that morning and got sick, which I hadn't done in a while. I got sick again on the way to the party, then again when we got back to June and Mark's after the party, then again right before we took off back to Fort Wayne. I just couldn't figure out what was going on. From there, I got sick about every ten miles on the interstate as Chris pulled over, no kidding, about 14 times. I got sick a total of 20 times Saturday and late that night decided that it was time to go to the E.R. I was given two liters of fluid and some meds to keep me from throwing up. We were there for about four hours and then headed home. It took me a couple days to recover; I was so sore from getting sick so many times. Anywho...I was to follow up with my doctor. So, today we went to the doctor to make sure everything was alright with the baby after Saturday. Everything...

Alexa Anne is Here!!!!!

Alexa Anne was born at around 6:00 p.m. this evening. After a bit of a scare of not being able to find her heartbeat, some oxygen and a page to my doctor to arrive ASAP, and about 6 or 7 pushes...she was born. She weighs 6 pounds even and is 20.5 inches long. She is so pettite and looks just like Chris and Landon. Go figure...here again, I am the one that labors and carries the babies and Chris gets all the credit. I'm sure she will change a bit in her looks as she has already changed since she was born. I feel great and empowered as I had to do everything I could to get her out quick because her heartrate dropped down to the 40's. VERY scary but thank God I had Mom and Chris in the roomt to get me through. They were great coaches. Enjoy the pictures. I'm going to get off here while Alexa is taking her bath and we soon will go to bed. Thanks for check'n in. We'll update again tomorrow. Oh and how could I possibly forget...Big Brother Landon!!!! How precious it was t...

One more makes a family of four!

That's right. Chris and I found out a few weeks ago that we are expecting our second little one around mid February. We are very excited! There are still a few of you out there that I wish I could tell other than on our blogspot, but this is the best way for me right now. I have been feeling REALLY crummy and I just can't kick the all day morning sickness. I just wish there was something that I could eat or take and it would give me a break. I know it will be worth it, but it's much more difficult being sick and watching after a toddler. Thank goodness I have the most amazing husband in the world that has really taken on both roles as mom and dad and give me a break when I need one. We couldn't be happier with idea of having two. We are really pushing these milestones and Landon is taking them VERY well! Now, if ice cream cured morning sickness...I would be in good shape (well, not physically and then again maybe that's why it doesn't help). Hope you all enjoyed...
