Snow Day

Big Brother Shirt

Here's the Big Brother shirt that Beckett wore to SC to announce our pregnancy to my parents in November. My dad and my brother saw it and assumed it was just a superman shirt, so they never caught on until we made them read it. Thankfully my sister walked in two minutes later and noticed right away and filled them in. We surprised my mom when she got off of work and she caught on quickly as well :) 

2014 SC Thanksgiving

Grandaddy taught Beckett how to flex his muscles. Kaki and Beckett waited all
 week to see the big Thomas balloon at the Macy's Parade. 

Beckett got this great gift from the Gross family.

It is always so hard to leave.

Cocky Pumpkin

Once again, my son set super high expectations for me. He had been waiting all year for "pumpkin season" (in fact, I almost bought a watermelon during the summer just so that we could paint it). So, after all of the anticipation, there was no way he was going to forget about pumpkin season and let me blow off having to decorate this year. 

He requested a Cocky pumpkin. Last year we bought a real pumpkin and made an Elmo pumpkin. It rotted pretty soon after we made it, so this year I refused to put that much work into a pumpkin that was just going to rot. So, we went fake this year and I don't regret it at all. My mom sent Beckett money specifically for the pumpkin patch since she knew how excited he gets about it. 

We did go to a real pumpkin patch but we bought Kaki a fake pumpkin from the other pumpkin patch (Michael's Craft Store). He decided to decorate and surprise Kaki by mailing the Cocky pumpkin to her house to show his appreciation for the pumpkin money (although, after it was finished he wanted to keep it for himself). We did keep the smaller Cocky colored pumpkin that he decorated for our house. 

This is what he had in mind for Kaki's pumpkin:  

The end result:

Gender Reveal

Forgive me as I now skip to January and work backwards to catch-up on November and December. But, I'm sure we have very anxious grandparents who are awaiting these photos.

Pumpkin Patch Announcement

Well, here is one of the many reasons that I have been behind on blogging. We found out that we were pregnant shortly before our pumpkin patch trip. I was about 5 weeks along when we took these pictures. This boy is so excited about becoming a big brother! 

This is the picture we used to announce the pregnancy to Blake's parents and Pa.

Our favorite ornament on the tree.
This is how we made our
official Facebook announcement :)
