October

October kinda slowed down for us. Mainly because we had so much help from everyone, it made being sick not so bad and helped relieve some stress from our family. 

When we moved in, we knew the house was definitely ready to move in, but we had some updates that needed to be done right away. For one, I just wanted a really clean, new toilet to throw up in. They had never changed the toilets in the house, and when J.D. changed this one...he said he had never changed a toilet in that condition before (he has changed a lot of toilets!) It was going to be a couple months before we could get the toilets, BUT our close friends in Holden America surprised us with this AMAZING DELUXE, top of the line, can flush a bucket of golf balls, slow to close lid, toilet!!!! It is absolutely heavenly! When you sit on it, you feel royal. The lid really closes so soft! AND the flush.... it's fast, quiet, and truly a glorious sound. Honestly, there are no words to describe my gratitude and excitement. We don't even use the other toilets and there are 4 bathrooms in this house! 

We were able to make it to 1 of my nieces volleyball games in Fillmore. She is only in middle school, but she is so good and talented! I had to go home and couldn't watch the rest of the games because I was not doing very good with being sick... but they came over afterwards and visited us. Good Job Rylee Jill!
Dawson got his school pictures back too! He still is waiting for those 2 front teeth to grow in... but he is still just so handsome and I love the memories.
For fall break we headed to St. George! Thank heavens for my mom driving to come get me and driving me home. I can't drive long distances because I throw up too much... :-/ During the time we were there, I had a really good day and it happened to be on my parent's anniversary. SO I took them to Golden Corral (Dawson said that would be the best for them, lol).
Monty loves that corn on the cob!
My mom loves these boys and they love their grandma!
And my dad was a good sport and allowed a pic with him. :-)
The rest of the days I spent in bed just trying not to throw up. My kids spent time in the road....
watching movies with grandpa.... See Dawson in the back? Well my kids got a flu while they were there and threw up too. Monty, then Dawson, and then I got it and it took a week to recover for me.
After getting better we came home and spent time with the cousins. Monty loves "his" Jetta, Brant, and Tilden.
I made it to 13 weeks, and was just missing all my decorations for fall. It's my favorite time of the year and Halloween is my favorite holiday. So even though we have boxes everywhere, I decorated.
Monty pulled out all the costumes and tried on each one. This is the penguin costume I found last year on clearance and tried to buy it big enough for Monty to wear this year....It was a little small and fit more like a shirt...I tried some pants on with it, but it didn't work too well.
It then came to the 30th, and it was my birthday. I was 14 weeks and and I just wanted to really get ready. So I put on make up, and went to Fillore to the store and to get Dawson's pumpkin at the school. I felt like I hadn't been in public for months.
And then came Halloween! That morning I had the boys dressed so cute and matching I figured I had better snap some pictures or I won't get another chance for a while. So here they are!

 I love how sweet they are to one another. Monty just loves to play with Dawson and cries when every morning when he has to leave. Dawson is so good to him and will pick him up, hold him, bounce him, pat his back and reassure Monty that he will be back soon and they can play.
 The time came to actually dress up... and of course Monty wouldn't put on his conductor outfit, so he was a cowboy. Monty is not into dressing up like Dawson was and still is. Jetta was so cute as a rodeo clown! She pulled Monty around to each car. Monty was on cloud 9 because he had 'his' Jetta, he didn't have to walk, he was getting candy, and there was plenty to look at!
 Dawson had the hardest time trying to make up his mind of what he wanted to be. He tried on costumes all month. Finally, he ended up being a ninja.... the morning of school. It was a little chaotic because he changed his mind with 20 minutes before he had to head to the bus stop. He loved it though and was happy!
 We had to go trick or treating to grandma Marjorie's house and Monty loved her even more because she had GOOD candy! Grandma was so happy to see all the trick or treaters and have company.
All in all, October was a good month. I am 15 weeks now and starting to get on top of the sickness. I still throw up here and there, but it's not near as much. I am also starting to feel the baby! I love it! I felt Monty the first time at 15 weeks, and this baby I felt around 14 weeks. only 25 more weeks left!
