Halloween

Dave and I came home from date night last night to see this glowing face waiting for us. We went to the pumpkin patch about a week ago, but had never gotten around to carving the pumpkins.

I'll be honest after a long day, a full dinner, and it being 10 pm I was not really down to carve pumpkins. But Dave was. And Katie is always down to do anything as a family. So we carved. Katie did mine. Dave did his. I did Ashby's.

Here they are all finished. Dave's is a football mask pumpkin. Mine is a baby in utero (its pretty sweet! Katie should start a business!) and Ashby's is a baby bumble bee.

Here is the patch from the front door view. Drew and Kuma still need to carve their pumpkins. It was worth staying up until 12!

OSU football weekend!

This weekend my other roommate (my cousin Andrew) dad came to visit. It was great to spend time with my uncle Steve. We went to the USC game (YEAH!! I finally got to go!!)

Here we are outside the stadium. We wanted to get the coliseum in the shot, but it was a little difficult with 90,000 people all around us...My uncle is a BEAVER, but wore this shirt to support Dave. Even if he cheered for OSU the whole time :)

Again, haven't figured out camera angles. I look huge, but I think it is the shirt and the angle. I do not really look this pregnant I don't think...

My hubby pregame hard at work.

Sisters down on the field. We got to use the field passes to watch warm-ups on the field.

Dave is one of those guys during the game. Not sure which but he is charting the plays from the box.

One last action shot....

23 weeks...

Here is a belly update picture...
23 weeks today! My big sister Amy is 32 weeks today too... 2 new babies for the Hendersons!
Ashby is moving all the time now...I have literally started to see her kicks jiggle my belly.

Its really all about the angle for belly shots. From this one I look huge!

As you can see here its more normal 5 1/2 months sized bump going on...
Kuma loves his mommy and definitely knows something is going on with my tummy.
I had this crazy realization today that if I am 23 weeks along in this pregnancy, she is going to be here in about 17 weeks give or take...that is SOOOO soon.
HOLY COW!!! (yes I still say that..)

Clarity...

OK People!

I need one more person to respond to my Pay it Forward post!

Terra and Haley...you can expect a little pay it forward gesture coming your way, but remember you have to pass it on..

So one more person...hit me up (reread the previous post if you are confused..)

Pay It Forward...

I have been meaning to do this for a long time. I am continuing the chain from a friend who I saw post this on her blog...

In this age when there is too much going on, we rarely take time out to do things for each other. My friend Cathy posted a "pay it forward" link in which she promised something special for the first 3 people to respond to her blog.

It doesn't have to be anything expensive or even cost anything at all for that matter. It can be homemade, or something to just bless the person who decides to respond. Within a few weeks you can expect something special just from me, provided you promise to keep this chain going.

I got the neatest little stationary set with my name on it....
