I felt the baby move first!

So as I thought of this title I realized this may cause some confusion so I'll just answer that question right off, no I'm not pregnant. Now I can go on to my story. We came up to IF for the weekend with my parents. I'm staying over a few days since I had a block of days not scheduled to work and figured what more could my mom want for her birthday from us than me!! :) Anywho, Saturday Lance and I went to pick my sis Lara up from their place and as soon as she walks out the door we first notice her growing bump. Last time I saw her she was only a month or so along and now she's starting to show. My little sis, tear, tear I'll put a picture up later when I get home. But now on to the title of this post, so since I'm her little nurse sister I first off decide to feel her growing bump to feel for the baby. I quickly found the spot where the little one was residing and I guess he/she wasn't use to being felt for and quickly squirmed away from my hand. Lara began having a crying moment as I was explaining the whole time what I was doing/finding and she runs into the house to tell Nate that she felt the baby move. I guess it was the first time she'd felt the baby move. I didn't know that. So the rest of the day we were telling everyone that I felt the baby move before Lara. :) Even though I explained to her she's probably felt him/her before but just didn't know that's what it was. So other times during the day I helped Lara to feel and be able to distinquish where the baby was. She's now all excited that she can tell were her baby is. So I guess the point of this post is Go Aunt Bekah!!! The baby knows you already! (We'll just ignore the part where he/she "ran away" from me.) :)

Halloween

So here's what Ace was doing earlier on Halloween, he was pretty tired. This is the first year since we've been married that we've actually had trick-or-treaters but we only got about 5 groups. Of those we only knew 2 of them, one were our across the street neighbor kids and then we had this cute little bumblebee show up on our door step too! I don't mind not having that many because lets face it, then I get to eat more of the candy! :) Lance and I stayed home and watched one of my all time favorite movies, Casper. Yea! I don't know about anybody else but when I was younger I had the hugest crush on Casper when he turned into a boy for a few minutes at the end of the movie and walked down the stairs....now he just looks really young. Anywho, we didn't dress up as anything because we're boring and we weren't going anyplace. However I did make a little costume for Acers, much to his dismay and embarrassment. Since one of his nicknames is "Bat Dog" due to his huge ears, I decided to make him some bat wings to go with them. I just cut them out of construction paper and stuck them on a head band. The whole time we left them on Ace he just looked at us like, "are you done yet?! what are you people doing to me now?!" and had this rolling his eyes at us kind of face. Here's the little bumblebee I mentioned earlier. She tired to steal all our candy! But her mean mom wouldn't let her eat it all, sheesh kandra! ;) Syd was pretty stinkin cute though! By far our best trick-or-treater we had! This picture catches her eyeing the candy right before she reached her hand in to grab a piece to hand to Kanrda to open. Then Kandra would put it back in the bucket, Syd would pout and cry for a second and then the process would start all over again. It was pretty funny!
