Looking forward to: Feeling my baby. I'm still wondering if there really is one in there... ;)

Charles gets home on Thursday (finally! This was a long trip) and I think he could be surprised at how much the belly has grown. Unfortunately the boobs are still the same size. Getting sick of reading in the baby books that I "probably have gone up a cup size or two by now"... Ironically, my boobs are the only thing that DOESN'T grow when I'm pregnant. Yeah...I'm awesome like that ;)

I stole these questions from a really cute pregnancy blog that I found on Pinterest. Seriously, Pinterest is the best site EVER!

Guess who has two thumbs and is Knocked Up?! ;)

Ian is FINALLY getting a brother or sister! He's only been asking for the last two years and it was time. He (as with the rest of us) is very EXCITED :)

More to come...

Fall is here

It's September and school has begun. Ian is back at Indian Hills Elementary after a little finagling (sp?) and he couldn't be happier. Charles and I couldn't be happier as well. His class is just perfect for him and is the first that is specialized enough that Ian gets the help and attention he needs to learn and grow. Love the SL school district! ;) Ian has his best friend, Christopher, in his class and they get to hang out and do play dates on most weekends. Ian is so happy at this school that we can just pull up to the front doors and he gets out of the car with a little "Bye Mom, bye Dad" and runs inside to meet his friends. He even has a few friends yelling good bye to him as Charles picks him up. It's finally not a fight to get him to go to school. What a relief for us all :)

We sold our truck and are down to a one-car family. I don't mind too much. We are coming into winter and everyone knows how much I DON'T drive in the snow ;) Now I have a ride every day! Although I will be getting to work later than I'd like, I will take it.

Fall also means Nascar. The sounds of car engines racing around and around are all that is heard at the Fallon residence Saturday and Sunday. This also includes Ian getting out his Nascar cars and lining them up in a big circle and having them race. He is quite good at the sound effects as well :) During this time, I am usually found on FB or my phone or doing word searches (I became addicted to these during my cancer treatment). Here's to hoping for a beautiful long fall and a short winter! (I know, I know...wishful thinking! A girl can dream though!)

Decorating Cookies!

On Black Friday this year we did NOT go shopping but we did have some spaghetti and decorate cookies! Ian's cousins, Payton and Chance, came over and we all went to see "Planet 51" (which really isn't that good, wait for video!) and then came home and ate spaghetti and meatballs and then decorated sugar cookies. This was the kids' favorite activity next to the movie. Chance's cookies all had at least one bite mark on them as he just couldn't wait to eat them! And all 3 kids took the liberty of sprinkling the cookies with Christmas sprinkles as well as their tongues! :) It was good time and I almost didn't get any pictures since they were speed decorating! We love you Grandma Lee, Uncle Stephen, Chance, Uncle Jeff, and Payton! Miss you already...

Happy Thanksgiving!

We spent Thanksgiving with Chuck's side of the family and it was a lot of fun. Ian loved playing with his cousins and it is always good to see the family. All the food was amazing and Great-Grandma made fantastic pumpkin pie. A bottle of wine helped me have an even better time, of course, but I think everyone is still talking to me... ;) I do love this time of year being with family and friends and eating lots of good food (and of course, good drinks!). We are putting up the Christmas tree tonight, as is tradition. Good dinner and watching Christmas movies as we decorate. Can't wait to watch Elf!!! "The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear!"
