Happy Halloween!!

Pictures will be added later this afternoon, but I cannot wait til Lexi is in her costume! She is going to be the cutest little tinkerbell! I'm excited for her 2nd Halloween.

So much changes in a year. Last year, she was our little bunny and she was SOOO cute but obviously, just a TINY little thing. Only 3 1/2 months old!! Now she's 15 1/2 months old... nearly 1 1/2 and babbling up a storm and even has a few words. She gets excited about dressing up and loves "cookie!"...

Her sweet Aunt Rachyl decided Lexi needed to learn the word cookie. I didn't mind at the time, but now ALL food is called "cookie" LOL.... She has no idea what an actual cookie is! It's pretty cute!

Have I mentioned how much I love her?! She is so cute and happy! I love it.

There are a lot of really exciting things happening around our home... We can start with June...
when Lexi becomes a BIG SISTER!! We are beyond thrilled and can't wait to add a little sibling into our home.

Btw- we bought a bottle of this wine! I think we'll save it for when our little Junebug arrives! :)

This pregnancy has been ROUGH so far! I thought I had morning sickness with Lexi, but my goodness- it does not even compare to this time around. It lasts all day... and NIGHT (and I have added back/ muscle pains and cramps) I've also had to go to the hospital THREE times already... yes, I'm just 8 1/2 weeks along right now... over kill? I think so! The first two times were because my dr couldn't find the little peanut on her u/s machine and wanted to make sure it wasn't ectopic and then the second time to make sure it's viable and the peanut has a heartbeat. The 3rd time was an actual ER visit. I had some bleeding and just didn't feel "right". I went over to the hospital and I had a subchorionic hemorrage and a cyst on one of my ovaries... Everything is okay, thank GOODNESS. Now, I'm really hoping to stay away from the dr's office until my next well-visit on the 11th. It seems like such a long way away, but I can't believe we're at the LAST DAY of the month already!! Where did October go!? If time keeps flying like this, this new little one will be here in what feels like a week from now! haha

I can't wait til Nick gets home tonight so he can get himself all dressed up (I think he's just keeping it simple and being a jets football fanatic)... He'll be taking Lexi trick or treating while I pass out candy!

Have I mentioned how much I don't like halloween?? Don't get me wrong, I love the cute decorative side and seeing all the kiddos dressed up, but I'm just REALLY not a fan of all the scary stuff. It just never sits well with me and I feel like such a whimp. Haha I don't count on it ever changing, so halloween will be a daddy/ Lexi/ #2 celebration! haha I'm perfectly happy being the photographer and candy passer-outter.

We'll be hosting Monday Night Football at our home while we pass out candy. It's always so fun to see all the dads hang around after their kids move onto the next home. We have the "man cave" set up in the garage with the pool table, beverage fridge, and 3 tv's... (because 1 wasn't enough????)

Anyways, I'll post more pictures as soon as Lexi is all costumed-up! :)

Hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween!!

A few pics from our trip to the pumpkin patch! Lexi LOVED the bubbles next to the old shed. I wish I had better camera skills bc this background was perfect for some pictures!!




Off centered but Lexi and daddy on a "horse ride" haha This is the only type of horse ride I'll let her enjoy at pumpkin city. I feel bad for the pony's and they really stink and look disgusting, so I don't want Lexi anywhere near them- regardless of her fascination with them. EW!


More pics to come of Lexi with "her" pumpkin in her Tinkerbell costume!
