Pumpkin Patch Fun

We took full advantage of a long weekend that Cole had and spent Monday being lazy, having a late lunch and an afternoon at the pumpkin patch.  The boys were thrilled with the 4wheeler and wagon.  And momma was thrilled for some fall décor!!

Loads of Fun

We had to improvise for our yearly picture, but I was pleased with what we got.

Cole's 1st Antelope Hunt

This year Cole was VERY into antelope season and all the aspects of hunting.  He wanted to shoot one as well, so his daddy let him, with a little assistance.   It was the last day of the season and the weather was a little windy and rainy at times.  We had a fun family day out scouting for the perfect one...

The HUNTER

Judson also had a fun day and shot MANY antelope with his cap gun.

15 weeks

We had another check up last Tuesday for Baby James and all was well! The Doppler showed 154 bpm for baby. 

Since the past pregnancy update the entire James house has been under the weather.  Judson started with a tummy bug for about 4 days, a week later I got it.  And it did not want to leave.  I ended up having an ER visit followed the next week by a hospital stay for 2 days. I ended up loosing 6lb, in a week.  Only to be followed by another hospital stay and a little surgery to have my gal bladder removed.  I have never had surgery before and surgery pregnant was a very scary thought for me.  We have prayed and tried for Baby James for so long and didn't want anything to happen.  Through lots of prayer and strength from my amazing husband and family I can say everyone is on the mend. 

We are looking forward to enjoying the next 24 weeks or so before Baby James arrives.

Jabber Jaws

 Well we have been pacie free at this house for a month.  And I have learned a lot...my very quite, take it all in 3 year old isn't all that quiet.  It amazes me the things I have never heard him say, and the conversations we are having. I will say he has us ALL tricked into thinking he was just a BUSY, quiet guy.  He is now talking NON-STOP so I apoligize to all my friends and family who I have had NUMEROUS conversations about me being concerned with his lack of talking.  This is no longer an issue!
