Fall Festival 2013

I still have a ton of pictures and memories to share from our lives this summer and early fall, but I figured that I would try not to get too behind and go ahead and share some of our recent activities.


The Friday before Halloween, we went to Fall Festival. Our little lion had a blast.

Dave had to work that night, but Uncle Chris was there to help take care of our little man.

 Cupcake came to the festival, too. We were so excited to see her. I tried to get a pic with these two. It's pretty much impossible.

 We all loved the hayride.

 What fun it is to eat a doughnut off of a string without using your hands.

Just Because Pics

Some just because pics.

My boy looking cute, even though he was currently in time out.

 Cupcake loved her sunglasses.

 A happy baby, even after four shots at her checkup.

 Loved watching them interact. He always knew how to make her laugh.

BG Fun with Cupcake

Always gotta love getting Nate together with his Cousin Ayla.

 While some of our family was in town, we went to Busch Gardens. It was Cupcake's first trip to an amusement park.

 The big kids loved riding rides together.

 Cupcake enjoyed the skyride.

Love that we have this picture of our fun day.

First OB Appointment

On June 17th, just a week after getting a positive pregnancy test, we went for our first OB appointment. Cupcake came with us since we didn't have childcare yet. Always fun to go to your first OB appointment with a tiny infant with you. :)

I was expecting them to tell me that it was a false positive. I kept asking the nurses how accurate the tests were. I knew that I still wouldn't believe it until I saw it. 

When it was time for the ultrasound, this is what we saw:

Our Blob!



No denying the fact that I was indeed pregnant and not only was I pregnant, but I was also already 8 weeks along. Our official due date is January 27, 2014. I kept telling the doctor that we had been told that pregnancy wasn't a possibility and that this was not in the plan. His words: It's in the plans now. 

Because everything looked 100% healthy, I was considered a normal pregnant lady. Not considered high risk at all. God is good. 

I've honestly had a really easy pregnancy up to this point. Just a few nights of feeling like this.

 I didn't have too much time to sit around and feel sick due to this little girl. 

Her smiles always made me feel better.

The Boys

A pic of the bathing beauty before I post pics of the boys. :) Cupcake LOVED baths.

 I love these pictures of the VBK boys.
