Halloween Projects

I was feeling the need to do some fun art projects with the kids for Halloween.  So I headed to Joann to get some fun crafts that 4 and under could do and invited the kids' friends over for some messy fun.  They painted pumpkins and wanted more so I got out some animals and cars to paint.  They weren't satisfied with that so they all decided to paint their hands and bellies.  What a mess it turned out to be but sure a fun one.

Then we went for the glue project.  They made little pumpkins, witches, and ghosts with foam pieces, sticks, and lots of glue.  I forgot how much fun glue is when you are a kid.  Good thing it is washable and cheap!

Zackary and I made this for our front door the next day.  I think it turned out so cute. 

Big News at the Allans

 

Yep, there you have it. Little baby Allan #3! After 6 pregnancy tests and 3 ultrasounds, I felt it was is a good time to announce it on the blog. I am officially 12 weeks 2 days today and everything is looking great. Our sweet new baby will be arriving some time in April. Hooray! We will finally get our spring baby we have been talking about. The official due date is April 25, 2011.

I am really excited to be pregnant and I'm feeling great! I love being pregnant, except for my constant worry that I seem to get the second I pee on the stick. I'm very lucky to have a wonderful OB who totally understands my worry and will see me several times before 12 weeks. I have been lucky enough to get to see my sweet baby 3 times already. Next week I have the 1st trimester screen, I can't wait to see the baby even more. Here we go!

More Wedding

Here is some of my favorite shots of the 4 cutest little additions to the beautiful wedding. Reese and Ryan were the beautiful flower girls with perfect little tutus. And the boys with the khakis and button down shirts...irresistible. Aren't they just delicious? I think this picture in black and white is just perfect.

It truly captures the moment.

Now, we wouldn't normally take our babies to a wedding however in Mexico we really didn't have any other options. But all of them were sure troopers, they really helped get the party started. They were on the dance floor before everyone. Mind you, they might have been playing with their zoo animals and snatching seashells off the head table, but they were out there having a great time. Zackary was loving dancing to the music and learning the line dances. I thought it was so cute to see him having a great time dancing and cutting in to get the R & R for himself to dance/run with.

Thanks Kyna and Eric for a great time and letting our children crash your wedding! It was beautiful!

Rocky Point 2010

We headed down to Rocky Point for a fabulous wedding of some good friends of ours, that my sweet boys got to be a part of. They were the official ring bearers. They did such a great job, followed directions, and even stood up at the alter for quit a while during the ceremony. I was quite proud of them. You never know what your going to get out of little boys. The wedding was beautiful, sunset on the beach, what more can you ask for? All the guests wore white, ivory, or tan which makes for a beautiful setting.

This was our attempt at the end of the night to get a family photo. I'm not sure why we didn't try earlier in the evening on the beach when every one was in their prime. We waited until they were all danced out and wanted nothing to do with a picture. But hey, this is how we roll, totally random!
