50's day for Keira, and week 13 of pregnancy!


Week 13. Let's be honest. I'm pulling my dress tight, and am bloated looking today. I dont look like this everyday, but I wanted to take a picture! ha. 
without pulling my dress tight. You can't really tell much...

Halloween: Football, carnival, and trick or treating!

For Halloween, we had Kade's football game which started almost 2 hours late! It was senior appreciation (There is a Freshman-Senior team based upon age; 8-12), and that took up a good chunk of time. We got to walk down on the field (in between the cheerleaders that all try to talk to Kade!)! We rushed home to get the kiddos into their costumes, and met some fam at a church carnival... and then took the kids trick or treating. 

Kade wasn't completely thrilled to stand in front of everyone, and hold a flower to hand me! ha.
Walking off
Our Star Wars dude, football player, and princess!
Trunk or Treating at the carnival. I"m munching on some candy; lovely picture! 
Trunk or Treat! Kade was running around with some buddies, trying to ignore some girls that kept trying to take his picture. Seriously. Dumb girls.
Kai and Keira! Too funny
The kids found the mother load house, that handed out large boxes of candy!
Our stash! 
We all munched on candy throughout the night and had cotton candy at the carnival, but we gave them an extra 5 minutes right before bed, to dig in! 
And I think Keira is in a sugar coma! 
Hope you had a good Halloween!

Updates. Pregnancy, family, life

Sorry that I dont blog as often as I used to! I know some of you check our blog for family updates, and I apologize for not doing it enough! Here are the latest...

1. My belly is looking "bloated", but its not anything you would really notice. Edwin and I can tell bc we know what I usually look like! I have my next dr.'s appointment in 2 weeks (Nov.6th) and I'll be 11 1/2 weeks then. I'm REALLY hoping we'll hear the babies heartbeat.
2. I have NOT been sick the past 4 days. A little nauseous at times, but not sick. I"m SOOOO hoping that's the end of it! How great would that be?! 
3. Kai asked how the baby is going to get out. Next....
4. Keira answered, "through a bubble in the belly." Hum.....
5. I set them both straight with a very simple; yet, truthful answer. I didnt expect to have that conversation with a 5 and 7 year old, but I suppose being pregnant stirs their minds. 
6. Kade is almost Petrified at the thought of it being a boy, and being in their room. Where else is another boy supposed to go?! 
7. We have no idea what we're doing for Halloween yet; since our church has decided not to have a fall festival this year. However; Keira is going to be a beautiful princess (duh), Kai is going to be Cody from Star Wars (stormtrooper), and Kade is going to be himself in his football uniform. I was going to wear my old cheerleading uniform to work (we can dress up), but I"m second guessing. I dont want to have to say all day; "yes, it still fits me." 
8. My parents, brother, sister in law, and their children are coming to visit us in 2 weeks!
9. I want Edwin to get us tickets to Mary Poppins for Christmas. It's coming to Houston!
10. The Chinese gender prediction calender says we're going to have a boy. I"m trying to get excited about the possibility of another boy. haha. 
11. All the kids are doing fantastic in school. Kade's grades are great, Kai is way past his reading level, and Keira has a bunch of words and small books she can read! 
12. Kade's a stud in football. 
13. I look at houses online in Dallas, and I get real sad. Maybe I should stop.
14.  Right after the baby is born (end of May), we have to move somewhere, because our lease on our rent house will be up!
15.  I can't wait for Christmas. The kids are beginning to share some things they would like, and Edwin and I are going to begin shopping! Love it. 
16. The washing machine just beeped in the background, indicating the cycle is complete. Im going to ignore it. 
17.  Kai has basketball tryouts Nov. 2nd and then will begin practice! This will be the first time he's tried basketball. . Kade doesn't start until January (which is also when games will begin for Kai)
18. Edwin had a surprise trip planned for our 1st anniversary, but we had to cancel it because of moving this summer etc....Now that I"m pregnant, I dont know when or if we'll get to take that trip! wah, wah. 

I really don't have any more updates. Hopefully I'll get some Halloween pictures uploaded next Sunday!

Keira
