Trunk or Treat & Grandma!













Yesterday we went and got Grandma Bland (my mom) from the airport and we had a busy day going to IKEA, Costco and a few other places before going home and eating then heading to our ward's Trunk or Treat.

We went to our ward building and they had some activities for the little kids in the gym, Jayden fished and got a bracelet, did a cake walk and got a cupcake. :) Then they did a Costume contest, then last they did the Trunk or Treat! Jayden loved it and said Trick or Treat and Thank you! So sweet. She would say Trick or Treat like 3 times between each car or waiting in line behind other kids. She was making laugh so hard! It was so funny! She LOVED it all and didn't want to go!

Love Trunk or Treating!! :)

This morning getting her ready for church she wanted to paint her nose! ha too cute! We will do it again tomorrow when she helps pass our the candy for our Trick or Treaters and possibly take her Trick or Treating to a few doors.. We shall see!!

(Of course when I uploaded the pictures I did them all from the end to the beginning!)

Swings


Just thought I would post a pic of little miss Jayden ;) It's so nice that we have swings at our complex! It's just across the parking lot which makes it so nice especially since Jayden LOVES to swing. There is a little play structure by the laundry that has a slide, I haven't taken a picture of her there yet.

Countdown


We have so many wonderful things to look forward to so Jayden and I made some countdown chains.
One is for Grandma Shirleen Bland who comes tomorrow!! She colored the plate for Grandma.
Pumpkin is for Halloween! Jayden ripped the pieces for the pumpkin's face, I think she did a great job!!
Last one and the longest is for Greyson who comes November 9th! She colored a plate for Greyson too.

37 Weeks


I am 37 weeks as of Tuesday October 25th!! This picture was taken Saturday October 22nd. I am feeling good! Tired pretty much all the time(getting uncomfortable trying to sleep but I don't have very many more days), but with the move and unpacking and being sick that has made it a little tough, but I'm still doing well! I have weekly Dr appointments and all is going great! Can't believe our little baby boy will be here in less than 2 weeks!! The time is going by so fast! Very excited to hold him!

All moved in

We are all moved in, not all the way unpacked yet, but so very close!! I have maybe 5 boxes and pictures left! I have done lots of laundry and have more to do, we had towels and clothes all piled up to do and then sheets and towels in storage that all needed washed, then all of Greyson's baby bedding, clothes, blankets, ect.. Never ending! It's insane! Today I washed all the stuff for the carseat, I figured I better get that done! I will post pictures hopefully soon. It has been tough the last few days to get things done with Jayden and I both sick, Denny works full time and goes to school full time, so he is very busy!! When he comes home from work I always have boxes for him to move and furniture that I want moved a little here and there. I would move it if I could, but we don't need Greyson coming earlier than the 9th! Even with all that it is so worth being here and getting ready for our little baby to come! We LOVE it here!
My mom comes in 2 days!! Yay! She is going to help me get our pictures on our walls which they take up so much space on the floor and in boxes it will be nice to get those up! We are hoping to get a kitchen table this weekend! The base broke on our old one, a family in our ward was giving away a table so we are going to get that and use it until we find one we love!
Pictures will soon come hopefully!! :)

Busy week!






Last sunday we went to Anaheim to visit Tom, Sheri(Denny's sister), Connor and Macey who were here in town from Idaho. We had lots of fun visiting, eating, watching The Lion King, walking around and hanging out at their hotel. Monday they came down to our place and we went to the beach, then they came to our house, the kids played, watched movies, the adults talked, played games and we all ate dinner!! Then on Friday they came back down and they had dinner at our place and visited, they left early Saturday morning back to Idaho, it was so fun to see them and we miss them!!! Mike, Ann, Jarom and Mitchell came on Friday too so they could see Tom and Sheri as well. Fun to see them too!!

Well we are busy packing up our place getting ready for our move on Tuesday! I took a break on Thursday and took Jayden to Chuck E Cheese's as well as ran errands that day too! Jayden had a blast at Chuck E Cheese's, she just ran around sitting on all the rides, we got a few tokens and so she played some games then she picked out a couple prizes and carries them all everywhere she goes.


Yesterday I packed and cleaned in the morning then in the after lunch Jayden and I went to our neighbors my friend Mary and her daughter Jaidyn's and the girls painted craft pumpkins :)
Denny got home from work and we packed some more. Today we will do more packing (Denny also has some homework to do, a paper to write and I think a quiz to take).

Tomorrow will be the last day of packing and hopefully I will get most of the cleaning done too so that way there won't be much to do on Tuesday.
I just can't wait to unpack at our new place!! Pictures to come if I can get in there before we start unloading the truck!! We have people from our ward helping us load and unload, Denny has a few friends from work who will helping us move as well, our Uncle Mike will help us out in the morning with getting the truck and helping take our bed apart and start loading the truck! We are so grateful for all this help!!!

We have had a busy, fun and tiring week! I'm exhausted!! This week will be busy too with finishing up packing and cleaning, then unpacking at our new place. I have a friend who lives in our new complex that will take Jayden for me most of Wednesday and another friend coming to my place Wednesday to help me unpack (Denny has work and school that day so will leave for work at 8am and won't be home from school until after 10:30pm). I am so grateful for wonderful friends! Seriously the best ward!! So many wonderful people!!!

Binkies


Jayden is all done with binkies!!

Saturday night we told her how the Binky Fairy is coming to take her binkies and she is going to give them babies that need them, when she takes the binkies she leaves a special present!
Sunday morning she came into our room and asked me to help her find her binky. So I had to tell her again what happened and she then wanted to look for her present! So we got up and looked and found a bag and inside was Bullseye! (The horse from Toy Story) She gave him lots of hugs and was so excited! The photo above is Jayden eating breakfast and holding Bullseye! Hopefully tonight won't be tough! So happy to be done with the binky's before Greyson comes and he has binky's! We explained how she is a big girl who doesn't need them and now only babies have them! She has told me a couple times about how babies now her her binkies. :) (Thanks Jennie for the idea!)
Sunday Denny gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting and did a wonderful job, right after we headed North to Anaheim where Denny's sister Sheri, husband Tom and two of their kids Connor and Macey are visiting from Caldwell Idaho. We spent the day with them and have lots of fun!! :) Jayden loved running around with her cousins!! On the drive home Jayden fell asleep and stayed asleep when we got home, so there was no issue with the binky that night, again this morning she asked for it, so again we told her where they are and what happened. Today she played hard and we had fun with cousins, played at the beach and they came and played at our house, we ate dinner and played games :) We had lots of fun with family!! So at bedtime Jayden asked for her binky and was sad, it took about 15 minutes for her to stop asking for it and other things (toys, water and saying she was hungry). I was worried it would be a huge deal, but she of course was sad yet still was fine! I'm so excited for her to be done with binkies especially before Greyson comes and binkies will be in our home again!

MOVING! :)

We found out yesterday that we are moving into our new apartment on the 18th, which is only 12 days away!! We have a busy month luckily all fun stuff, this weekend Denny's sister Sheri, her husband Tom and 2 of their kids Macey and Connor will be visiting! They will be staying about an hour North of where we live, but we will see them a few times while they are here, then we move the 18th, we have an Aunt and Uncle coming into town on the 20th, Denny's birthday is the 21st which it will be so fun to have family in town to celebrate his birthday with, then my mom comes into town on the 29th, Halloween on the 31st! Then comes November, Getting 100% ready for little Greyson to arrive (Shopping, setting up everything and enjoying time with my mom before the 9th (which is the day of the scheduled C-Section). Then my mom leaves November 30th and Denny's mom arrives that day! We are so grateful for the help from our mothers! It will make recovery go more smooth, plus I won't be able to pick up Jayden until about 6-8 weeks after the baby comes so it will be nice to have some extra help with her, she will love the attention from the Grandmas!

It all seems like a lot, but I seriously am looking forward to it all!! Packing, unpacking and visiting family! Plus dealing with all the baby stuff, I am so looking forward to preparing, we knew we would be moving so I haven't done any 'Nesting' for Greyson and it's been killing me to have to wait! It's all going to be so fun! Plus taking Jayden trick or treating! She is so excited, we got her pumpkin out of storage 2 days ago and she walks around with it saying Trick or Treat! It's so adorable!! :) Plus hopefully we will have Trick or Treaters come to our house!

I even have a friend from my ward that will take Jayden on the day of our move to I can clean the apartment after all of our stuff is loaded into the truck and while the guys move it to our new place I will get our old place all clean, then I can get Jayden and we can get her to bed and then start unpacking! Which is going to be the best part!!

I will hopefully be able to see our new place on Thursday of next week, I can't wait to see it!!

34 weeks


As of yesterday I am now 34 weeks along! Can't believe there is only 5 weeks left!!

I have been very tired and the baby bump is getting big! Luckily that's all that is getting big!

I love being pregnant, but at the same time I can't wait to hold little Greyson!! Also it will be nice to be able to sleep comfortably again, which I will have to recover from surgery, but eventually I will be able to sleep how I want! ;)
