Pumpkin Carving 2008

Oh this was the funniest part, Kyle loved it, but Kenneth we had to force to touch this stuff. It was slimy and gross, and he was not having it. I got this one really good picture with him having a big handful. Daddy had to do the rest. Don't look at the knives right by the 3 year olds.




Kyle really did love doing this. Kenneth would have rather just watched.



WE let them pick out what they wanted on their pumpkins. Kenneth keep saying Boooo Boooo.

I wish I could add the audio of this right now, it was too cute.




Finish Product. I think they turned out great!!!

Pumpkin Patch meets the Baker Boys 2008

This is Kyle, I love his face, it makes me smile every time I look into his face. You know every mom calls her crow the blackest, well man Lewis makes some beautiful boys. Too cute, Too Cute



Then there is Kenneth, this big boy is really turning into a funny boy just like his daddy. He comes up with the funniest stuff and makes me laugh so much. This is one of the cutest pictures of him that I have taken in a long time. I just love looking at his face.



Then the Baker Boys together, watch out World here they come. They make the best Sons a mom could ask for. Loving, kind, working on being respectful, but getting there. I would not trade them for the world. I would love to have a dozen just like them. Lets just say, there would never be a dull moment.

Kyle

You know I can't post without saying how great this big boy is. He has been so loving lately, and its been so nice to have all the hugs and quite time that i can get.

He was riding his bike tonight, he has a really good fall and skint his knee a little, after a SMALL bit of crying with blood, he said I am a big boy mom and I am ok. In one way this breaks my heart, but on the other hand I am so proud of him. He is always trying to impress me with how big he is, and how strong he is. It really is the cutest thing ever.

I cant wait for all the adventures of big brother hood to happen with the Baker boys.

Kenneth

OH man, having this big boy is really making me excited about having this baby. The other day he asked "Mom can I change Autumns diaper for you?" Today he asked "Can I put her sock and shoes on for you?" and then he asked "Can I get her in her car seat?"

Man, it almost bring tears to my eyes to hear him say these things. He is just going to be the best big brother ever. He even at the book store today got to feel the baby kick, he was so happy. He told everyone.

I could have a million like him. He is just so great!!! Such a big boy.

Prayer answered I got my VBAC Doc

WE thought Kenneth had strep throat.

I was meeting with a new doc for a VBAC consult and found out he was 76 and shaky. Dr. McNew, he is a great doc, but for this high risk procider I dont think he is the right one for me. He said back in the day we would deliver breach babies all the time, I would just reach up in there and grab the legs and pull the baby out. I DON'T THINK SO.

I decided against that doc really quick.

So I was kind of upset, I called 44 different doctors here in our area for one that would do a VBAC and 3 was on my plan that would. Dr. Neal, after getting to his apt said you are perfect but here is why I don't, then Dr. McNew. The only other one was Dr. Blasingame but I could not get an apt with her till Jan. I was facing the fact that I would not do a VBAC. Dr. Neal was sweet and said he could call in a favor and get me into see Dr. Blasingame sooner than Jan after talking to her about me.

Then we went out to the truck and got a call from Dr. Blasingame!!!! I have heard this doc is wonderful. I prayer answered. My apt had to be worked in. It was supposed to be at 4 so I got their after Kenneth's apt at 2, I got their at 3:15 and was not seen till after 5 and did not get out of there till after 6, with Lewis and the boys in the car watching movies and going CRAZY. We had no idea it would take that long. I know for next time.

I have my apt set up when the boys are in MDO early in the day.

So that was good on my birthday and Kenneth did not have strep that was also good.

19 weeks or 20 don't know

Well, right now we are 6 days away from knowing if this baby is a girl or a boy. I am hoping my fantasy will not end soon. I have been looking at so much girl stuff its unreal. I just love all the things they have for girls. I am feeling good, I can't wait for the boys to be able to feel the baby. They are so excited about it coming. They both said last night they want a sister. They has been saying both now its almost always a sister. I can't wait to be able to tell them what they are getting with confidence. We are still telling them we don't know. They are talking to my belly and even singing to it at times. Its so sweet. I would not miss this for the world.

Lewis this week is in Houston with the Air National Guard. He has so much on his plate I am glad I am not him, but I am trying to help in anyway I can. There was a big storm that hit Houston Ike, and they took it hard. There is no power right now and its getting bad for them. But, the Lord will provide and in time this too shall pass. He will be home on Friday, :) I cant wait. I cant sleep when he is gone so being pregnant I am getting about 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night. I wake up several times thinking bad thoughts. I cant wait till hes home.

Lewis has two weeks left before his grad school application are due. He is really staying on top of this and I am so proud of this. I am helping him right now because he does not have power. But all is going well with him.

OH, and we got a new addition to our family. We got a new Dog. He is great!!! He is half weimer and half lab. Looks just like a weimer but solid black. He is 10 months old and we are just falling in love with him. I am such a dog person and so is Kenneth so its nice to have a dog again that we like after two years of bad dogs. I will post pictures soon of this great dog named Storm Baker, because we got him one day before the big storm hit. We love him so much.

Till next time.
