Happy Halloween!!! :)

Here are some pictures of our little girls on Halloween!!!! We all went trick-or-treating with Bekka's friend Avery and her Mom that live across the street! You should see all of the candy that Bekka got! I should have sent her to the doors with an extra bucket for treats for the baby (ME)!!!!

Prayers Needed For My Family!!!!!

My cousin and his beautiful family live in Southern California and I have just found out that they have been evacuated. I have not talked to anyone to find out what has been going on, but I will try to call my Aunt this evening and see what I can find out. I know that they are okay, and they were staying in a hotel which that area was also evacuated. My prayers are with them and all of the families that have lost thier homes and everything they own.

Catie Ellguvene is HERE

Well, Catie arrived this afternoon at 2:26 pm and is just beautiful!!!! I will have to post the story about her birth later because I am just so tired! But I wanted to share some pictures of her with everyone! We all think that she looks just like Bekka when she was born! I will try to remember post some pics of Bekka, Abbi and Catie when they were all about the same age sometime! It would be kinda fun to see how much they all look alike!

Bridal Pictures @ Gardner Village 10/7/07

Here are some of the bridal pictures that I took on Sunday afternoon at Gardner Village. Just thought I would share some!!! :)

Duck Hunting Opening Weekend...

Travis and his friend Travis worked on the duck boat last Saturday and finished up with it last night so that they could go duck hunting. The hunt actually opened up yesterday, but with the bad weather there weren't to many people out...but today was a good day as you will see below!

Pictures of our "PUMPKIN"

I haven't had professional pics done of Bekka for a long, long time and so I decided that I would go out and take some myself! I still want to take her somewhere once the leaves in the valley change color, but I had to take some bridal portraits for a family friend and decided that I would take Bekka along and take some snapshots of her! Hope you enjoy seeing them since I enjoyed taking them! :)

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!!!

I can't believe that it is snowing already! This is the first snow we have seen up in the Ogden, UT area. I know that we have had snow previous to this in other areas of Utah, like down in Salt Lake or up in the mountains, but man this is really early! I have been looking forward to this though after a long hot summer. Here is a picture I took from my deck...hopefully you will be able to see the snow, if it snows more, I will take some and post them when there is more light! There hasn't been any acumulation on the ground as of yet though...it is just really wet from raining all morning long!

Our little Picaso!!!

I bought Bekka some watercolor paints at the store the other night and she has been painting up a storm ever since! She has got such a great imagination and is really good at coloring, painting and anything artistic! Just thought I would share some of what she has done....

Black Island Farms...

Today we went with our friends Jen and Hannah to Black Island Farms to go on a hay ride out to the pumpkin patch so the kids could pick thier own pumpkin out. Everyone who worked there was so nice and came out to cut the pumpkins off of the vine for us and then they must have felt so bad for me being pregnant that one of the farmers even carried both of my pumpkins to the trailer and then to the car for me. Here are some pictures of our time there! Jen and I decided that we are going to make it a tradition every year to go there for the ride out to the patch!!!!

Update....9/28/07

Not alot to report this week!

I had my Dr. Appt on Monday morning and the baby was still head down!!! :) Thank goodness! I also have not dilated at all :(.....but hopefully by my appt this Monday I will. I also found out at my last appt that my Dr will be at a Norwegian festival in Minot, ND from Oct 10th - 14th so we are not going to be induced until the 15th if I haven't gone by then. If I don't go before the 10th on my own, this little one better not come while he is gone!!!! Dr. did tell me that I could still be induced on the 12th if I wanted to, but one of the on call Dr's would have to deliver me and I would rather have the same Dr deliver me that delivered the others! I also had told him that I felt more comfortable since he turned the baby, but I think I am eating my words! My back hurts, I have to go to the bathrooom ALOT more often in the middle of the night than what I used to and I am so, very tired now! Atleast when I fall asleep I sleep more soundly which is good to be able to do that. I also have been trying to rest in the afternoons a little bit, but most of the time it is just sitting and putting my feet up for an hour or so, but I guess that is better than nothing!

Other than that, not much went on here this last week!!!!!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!!! :)

UPDATE....9/20/07

We have sprinklers!!!! We dug trenches weekend before last and our system was put in by our neighbor that owns a landscape company last Friday. We covered up the trenches and moved dirt around the yard. Travis built a driveway out of roadbase along the West side on our property. I think he had a good time working in the yard since we were able to borrow a skippy loader (small version of a big loader) to move the dirt around and dig the trenches! We also now have trees to. We planted those the same weekend we dug the trenches. I tell you what though, I am starting to re-think the idea that I thought it would be fun to put in a yard!!!!! What a pain! But it will be nice once we have it finished! I think we may sod the front, sides and some of the back and then seed the rest. We are going to wait to put up our fence until Spring, and I need to call a concrete curbing company to come out and do the decorative curb. Hopefully they will be able to do it the first part of next week.

Tuesday the 18th was Abbi's one year day from when she passed away. We miss her so very much! It was a pretty emotional last few weeks leading up to that day. I think that the anticipation of the day was the hardest part than the actual day itself. Travis was able to come home and be with us on that day instead of being down in Moab or Salina and that helped. We took a dozen dark purple balloons and 1 white one to release (the white one symbolized 1 yr). I will add a white on every year because you can see the white one for alot longer period of time when released than the others. We also took up some fresh cut flowers and I took up some potted mums on Monday afternoon when I went to oil the headstone to make it look nice for if anyone went up to see her that day.

Also on Tuesday my Mom took off work because I had a Dr Appt to see if the baby had turned and no such luck. So we opted to go ahead and do the external version and have the baby turned externally. So far so good, baby Wentz is now head down (locked & loaded, LOL). I hope that I will go into labor on my own sometime the first week of October, but if not, we will still be induced on Oct 12th.

Not much else going on here though.....just anticipating the baby coming now!!!
