Rilyn (and Ella) made this gingerbread house at Grandma’s this past week. Ella had more fun licking the frosting off the roof and eating the candy though.
Rilyn also went to the dentist on Monday, the night before though, she was eating chewy candy (daddy gave her). I told her that she was going to have to brush her teeth really good to get all of that sticky sugar out. She told me, “Don’t worry mommy, from now on I will only eat healthy candy.” Oh, ok Rilyn. 😉
We are thrilled to announce that we are indeed having a baby boy! Asher James Paquette, we can’t wait to meet you!!!!! (Yes, that is James’ face on Fabio’s body.)
So, we’re pretty sure that Asher wants to be an Aggie!
(for those who have trouble understanding ultrasound pics, that is Asher making the gig’em with his thumb.)
Every year, right after Thanksgiving, I attempt to get our family all dressed up to take a Christmas photo for our annual Christmas card. Here is a preview at how successful I was this year.
Recently, Ella has been rather unhappy-shall we say ‘temper tantruming’ a lot? Hopefully this is a phase…although I’ve heard of the ‘terrible twos’ which she will be approaching very soon. One of our attempts to get her to stop crying is to say, “Ella-smile!!!” She, in turn, gives us the cheesiest grins and poses ever-they are hilarious! Enjoy.
TA-DAH!!!! I’m happy again!
So, on Halloween Eve, we always carve our pumpkins. This year we bought a small pumpkin for the baby in mommy’s tummy too. Rilyn actually drew her own face on her pumpkin and daddy did his best to carve it out. Rilyn loved playing in the pumpkin slime as we like to call it. Ella, on the other hand, would have nothing to do with it!
“Don’t touch me with that slime!”
So, I know it’s not Halloween yet, but we dressed the girls up in their costumes for some fall festivals this weekend. They looked soooo cute as a cowgirl and 50s girl!
So, I really wanted to pick the girl’s pumpkins when the weather got cooler. FINALLY we had a beautiful day and so off we went to the patch (a different one this time) to pick a pumpkin for Rilyn and Ella (baby #3 got a mini one too). Rilyn can’t wait to carve this year and wants to get ‘the yucky stuff’ out “all by herself.” 😉 We went with our great friends, Cole and Anna Richardson. They had a blast chasing each other and having races.
Okay so a lot has been happening in the past couple of weeks! Let me catch you up! First, let me be ‘official’ and now announce my third pregnancy on our website. We are thrilled and are due April 27th. We find out the sex of our baby Dec. 5th!
Second, James turned 29 October 2nd. He got his ipod he has been wanting forever and so I think it was a good day!
Third, Rilyn fell down the driveway skipping and got her first big ‘bonk’ on her forehead. As you can see it left a big bruise! Our poor baby!
Fourth, we went to the Elgin Christmas Tree Farm where they sell pumpkins in the fall. It was only 95 degrees that day, so we weren’t sweating or anything! 😉
Okay, so the Paquette family is showing a little Aggie love this week! We love when we win (sorry Baylor) and we love even more when t.u. loses. Go Kansas State!
