Finally, an update!!

I finally did it! I buckled down and blogged about what we have been doing this last month. I would have done it sooner but every time I get some time it is during Aspyn's nap time and when I put her down I usually like to try and take a nap too. So, that's why I have been slacking. But I have made up for it in all the post I have done today!! Enjoy!!

Drumroll Please....

We had our big ultrasound last Friday and we know what we are having!! Despite what Aspyn thinks she is getting a little Sister!! We are so excited to have another girl and can't wait to see her. She is such a little mover. During the ultrasound she put on a little show for us moving all over the place, kicking her legs, trying to get her thumb in her mouth (she was a little off and we could see her trying to suck but her thumb we up by her nose), and just generally moving all over the place. We actually only got a quick glimpse that she was a girl but the tech. said she saw it so we are happy with that. Here are a few pictures we got of her, they aren't the best because they are pictures of pictures but that's okay.
Here you can see her hand really well.
This is the picture of her trying to suck her thumb
We got some got pictures of her despite her moving so much.

Washington D.C.

For Fall Break we decided to go to Washington D.C. for our 5th Anniversary. We were able to drop Aspyn off at my sister's house in Delaware to spend a couple of days with her cousins and she had a blast. We had so much fun and it was such a nice break. We did so much, went and saw the capitol and supreme court building, went to the Library of Congress, three Smithsonian museums (Air and Space, Natural History, and American History), walked down to the White House, saw the momuments at night, and then to finish off the trip we went and did a session at the beautiful Washington D.C. Temple. Again, we had so much fun!! I can't wait to go back again and see more. We took so many pictures I just decided to put them in a slide show (this is just a few of the good ones.)

Halloween!!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year because we finally got Aspyn to understand the holiday. We went to our wards chili cook-off/truck or treat and then came home and carved our pumpkins. Aspyn loved dressing up and loved getting candy even moreShe started "flying" around the room the minute I put her wings on. She was so funny.

She wanted me to take a shot of her wings.

This is the face she gave me when I said to smile like Tinkerbell. Super Cute!!

Here is one more good shot that I got of her. It took me a while to get her to stop flying around the room to take this.

Carving pumpkins with Daddy.

Here is Aspyn "helping" draw a face on the pumpkin. She kept telling Daddy that she wanted the pumpkin to have a funny face.

The finished product.

Aspyn wanted her picture taken by the pumpkins.

Happy Birthday!!

In October, Josh had a Birthday!! He now feels very old. I had a hard time trying to tell Aspyn that it was Daddy's birthday, not hers. She sang Happy Birthday all day and loved when I let her call Daddy on the phone to tell him Happy Birthday. He had a great Birthday.

State Parks

We took a couple of Saturdays to explore some of the sites that are close to us. The first one was Princeton Battlefield. There was a really important battle that was fought here during the revolutionary war that I would go into more detail but I don't want to bore all you out there. If your interested all you have to do is google it. It was really pretty and so we got some great pictures of the colored leaves and Aspyn running around.

This is the house that was on the property during the battle that was used as a hospital for both the Americans and the British.

Aspyn in front of a marker telling about a General the died during the battle. There are a lot of things around here that named after him.

These columns have been moved three times (originally from Philadelphia) and now stand in front of the grave where several soldiers are buried.

Aspyn and Josh standing on the steps. Aspyn loved going up and down the steps and we passed it the other day and she saw it wanted to go up the steps again.

Here is the grave marker.

The next weekend we went to a place called Rockingham. It is the house that George Washington was staying when he found out the war was over. We learned so much there, very interesting place to visit just not too kid friendly. Aspyn did great but we probably wouldn't take her there again. I couldn't take any pictures inside so I just got a couple of the outside.
We saw this guy on our way there on the side of the road eating. We stopped to take pictures of him and he looked up at me while I took them, didn't move at all the whole time.
Rockingham, the house.
Aspyn outside in the rain. She saw me taking pictures and wanted one of her taken. She had fun once we got out jumping in the puddles.
