Dancing with the Cards

I am not the only excited Cardinal fan out there. When Preston Wilson made his amazing catch last night I felt my baby move for the first time. Such an amazing feeling!! Obviously, it's never too early to be a baseball fan!!!!

Who said being the underdog is a bad thing?! Not St. Louis fans, that's for sure! The Cardinals won again last night and are now leading 3 games to 1. What a fun game tonight!!!! Way to go Eckstein, he certainly was the player of the game! Go Cardinals!!! One more game!

On Wednesday night when the Cards game was rained out, Mike was flipping channels and I asked him to stop on Dancing with the Stars. I have never seen it but my Mom told me that Emmitt Smith is amazing! And just our luck he was dancing first, doing the Mambo. Didn't take too long until Kaden and Luke joined in. I cannot tell you how hilarious it was and the pictures do not do it justice. We were cracking up! Thaddeus you would have cried watching them try to 'shake it' like Emmitt. (notice he is in the background on the TV--this was not a recreation of the event)

After baths that night, I decided Kaden needed a haircut, I did cut a lot off, it was getting so long--especially in the back. So here's the pic I took of him this morning, don't worry Grandmom the boy still has LOTS of hair.

We have out Halloween party at Mike's work this afternoon, the boys are very excited as you can imagine. There will be pictures.

More on the baby front: I am now 15 weeks, I had my doc appointment on Tues and all looks great. The baby's heartbeat was in the upper 140's, same as Kaden and Gabriels, Luke's was always in the 160's. Don't worry, I haven't conceded anything yet!!! I will be seen once again before we leave here. And baby you can move anytime, Momma loves to feel you.

And That's a Winner

The Cards are now leading the Series 2-1. What a masterful performance by Carpenter! An amazing game. Our bats are coming around, watch---this is going to be great!
Go Redbirds!!!
Thanks for the winner Uncle Don! :)

Fall Festival and the Fall Classic

Oh. My. Goodness! The Cards win game one! The Cards win game one! I knew it, I called it, we had the advantage in my eyes! Way to go Redbirds! 1-0, we're 1-0!!!!! :) Yeah, Cardinals!

What an exciting game last night, I did miss most of it. Went out for a goodbye dinner with some friends. I did get to see the end. I am still SO excited!

Yesterday was a Fall Festival at Luke's school. We had a great time. They had 6 different HUGE (and I mean that) inflatables for the kiddos to play on. You know they loved that! Here's Luke and Kaden on a couple:

Gabriel was such a sweetie the whole time. He was too little to play on the inflatables but he did get to run around a bit. Here he is making silly faces at his Momma (note the outfit):
They had little carnival games for the kiddos too. This is Luke and Kaden at the dinosaur dig--yeah, Grandmom, that's playdoh they are digging in:
Searching in the haystack for prizes:
Kaden at the penny toss, getting help from Daddy:

The kids had a blast and slept pretty good last night you can imagine. Fun times.

On a separate note, the moving countdown has begun. The movers are coming tomorrow to take inventory of what we have. They will be here Nov 1st-3rd. We will be heading to St. Louis, home of the world famous underdog World Series leading Cardinals, on Nov 9th. WOW! Just 17 more days here in Florida.

And just a mere 175 days until baby 4's due date! :) I am still getting sick, though not quite as often but the nausea is there for parts of everyday. I started my second trimester so hopefully I will be feeling much better soon. I go to the doc again on Tues, I will update you guys then!!

We WON!!!!!!!!

Celebrate, celebrate!!!! Yeah Cardinals! We did it! We won and what a game 7!!!!! Suppan pitched an amazing game, totally the MVP of the series! And what an ending!!! Way to go Yadier. Guess being the EXTREME underdog isn't too bad for the Cards! So much for us not getting through the series with San Diego!!! Way to go Cardinals!

Ghosts and my pumpkin

Yesterday Luke and I did some Halloween decorating. I bought the cutest little plastic ghosts and pumpkins at Target. (you fill them with scraps of paper and use twist ties to close them) Luke was a big help and we had lots of fun. We went outside and put them on our bushes in front of the house and big tree in the side yard. They look pretty cool if I do say so myself. It was a fun project to do with the kiddos, Kaden wouldn't sit long enough to help (surprise, surprise) but Luke had a great time. Easy, cheap, cute, and fun to do, yeah Target!!!!!

Luke hanging up a ghost.

And Jackie, this next photo is for you!! This is the outfit that you and Thaddeus sent Gabriel when he was born. It's 6-12 months, but my little guy can still fit into it at 21 months. This picture is so adorable I can just hear your squeal of how cute he looks. And no, you still can't have him. But come and visit whenever you want, we would LOVE to have you guys!! :)

Mommy's punkin.

Cousin time!

Aunt Belva and the kids came over to spend the weekend with us. We had a great time, the kiddos LOVE playing together.

While they were sitting together for dinner, I went in for the picture. I had them all say cheese and it turned out pretty cute, huh?

Then Belva, Mike, and I were serenated with "cheeeeese"s for the next 20 mintues. Each kiddo trying to say it longer and louder then the next. They were all laughing, it was adorable, so I took another picture:
Gabriel and Kaden were cracking up! It was SO funny.

We do make some pretty, pretty babies in this family :) Thanks Aunt Belva for the visit!!

And GO Cardinals--today is a big game for the boys.
Let's go Cardinals, let's go.

Baseball is in our blood

I promise, promise, promise this picture was NOT set up. Last night I put Luke and Kaden to bed but let Gabriel stay up a little longer (because the commercial break was over and I didn't want to miss any of the Cards game). Gabriel ran over to the toys and got a bat and ball. He was so proud of himself, he showed off to Daddy. I got this cute picture as he was running all over the living room laughing. Way to cute, and I know that you are proud Uncle Thaddeus.
