New Car!

Well, we bit the bullet and bought a new car. Ben's Toyota Tercel (1994) wasn't working so hot anymore and not worth fixing. We decided on a used 2007 Nissan Ultima. We really like it! And, it is an automatic which is great for traffic out here! Above is the front view. Below is the side view.
Here is the back end.
Here is the dash. It is soo cool, all you have to do is push a button to start the car. And it senses the key in your pocket and automatically unlocks the front two doors when you approach the car. More hi-tech than we know what to do with!


Thanksgiving

Above is a picture of us and my growing tummy in front of our Christmas Tree. Only 13 more weeks until Hyrum comes! Below is a picture of our picture stand that I had to move to fit the Christmas tree into our living room. I've got our nativity set up in front of it.
Another picture of our Christmas Tree.
Here is a picture from Thanksgiving at Ben's brother Rodney's house. This is Joselyn *spelling?, Ben's dad, and Ben, waiting for Turkey dinner.
Here are three of our nieces/nephew- Joselyn, Gabriella, and Austin.

More pictures. The other pictures are from 20 wks. These two are from 23wks. The top is a profile. The bottom one is also a profile but he has his hand by his face.

Since my mom hasn't gotten to see pictures of Hyrum yet we'll see if this works any better. The above picture is his profile. I know its blurry but you can kind of make it out.


This is a picture of his hands.

The arrow indicates, yes, it is a boy. This is kind of a butt shot. We are 24 weeks now and it is so crazy that I am taking care of 24 week babies in the NICU right now. 24 weeks is the cut off for resuscitation currently. It's kind of weird to see what size Hyrum is based on what our 24week NICU residents are. He better cook a little longer! No 24 week baby wanted here!

Halloween

We have had a spooky week. Monday night we carved pumpkins at Rob & Cari Freeman's house which was tons of fun. Here is Ben hard at work deciding what to do.


Here is Rob and Cari working on their pumpkins.


Here is our completed pumpkin. Not too original but it was still fun.


Okay, so this is a scary picture but not taken during Halloween. This was actually taken at 20wks and I am now 23 wks. People have been requesting to see my belly. That's all it is, a belly. Hyrum is doing well. We got a second peek at him on Halloween day and it is definetly still a boy and all our worries were put to rest.

Here are the completed pumpkins from Monday night. Ben & Katie's on the left, Cari's in the middle, and Rob's on the right.

On Halloween we went to Rob & Cari's again for a Halloween party. They were the only cool ones to dress up as a boy and girl scout. Pretty cool costumes!
