I love Gap Jeans for Alex, they fit him the best of all the jeans we have. This contest is for the "new face" of GapKids and the winner gets a $1000 gift card to GapKids and also could be put in their campaign. I have never put Alex in one of these, but I decided to try for the gift card! Also I might be bias but I thought he was cuter than most of the competition. ;-) (only a mom would say that, right?)

Sunday Funday!
We have had some weird weather recently. It wasnt a very hot summer for us until September, then it was unbearably hot. So its been going in an out of heat and then a few thunder storms last week, so anyways, our daily walks have been shorter and Libby (our dog) is definitely bored and tired of it. So today we went on a long family walk on this bike trail near our house. We had never actually been on this one. It was great to get out and get some good exercise. Alex got tired and wanted to get in the stroller pretty fast. I was thinking about skipping the double stroller with this upcoming baby and just getting a Sit n' Stand, but I think I will be getting both, Alex still likes to relax and eat his snack in a stroller, can't blame him... I sometimes want one myself. ;-)
Libby had a great time and was nice and tired after. :)

Blog to watch!
Single Dad Laughing has been a favorite of mine and its starting to gain interest by many, if you dont know about it yet, you should. Its a great way to see a man's and dad's perspective on life and the things that are going on in the world and our kids. I have read more than a few blogs that have made me cry because they are so true and the truth sometimes hurts. Read it I promise you wont regret it.

Busy, busy, busy!!
I keep thinking about something I want to post on here and pictures I want to share, but of course I end up thinking about it late at night when my bed is calling my name.
We are 24 weeks a few days into this pregnancy and with the holiday season fast approaching I know that the next 15 weeks will fly by, so we have been preparing for our little cupcake and trying to at least start on the nursery. We co-sleep for a good while, with breast feeding its always so much easier for me to actually get rest this way, so really we dont use the crib for a good 6 months, but of course I cant wait and I want to do it now. I will be too busy with a new born to do it after! ;-) That is my excuse at least.
Halloween is coming and it is definitely one of our favorite times. Alex asks to go to the pumpkin patch pretty much every day and this starts in like November. So, we went for a little while yesterday evening, and he ran around in his Buzz costume, and had a blast. We will be going to a bigger pumpkin patch I am sure sometime in the next few weeks, but we had to go to the one we go to every year. The holiday season is the season for crafts and fun stuff, we love making themed crafts at home, and there is always so many options during this time. I havent had the "baking bug" yet, which might be a good thing because Joe and I really do not need to be eating baked goods quite yet, but that is something I always love about the fall and winter. I am a huge soup fan, I could eat it every night, Joe likes it but he definitely needs "real food" between my soup days. I am ready for the heat to leave so I can start making my soups! YUM.
And now for some pictures. :)
Alex at the park. :)
The Pumpkin Patch:
Alex was actually Buzz last year, but I got it big because I knew he would want to use it as dress up for a while, he decided he wanted to be Buzz again this year. Works for me!
My little Buzz Lightyear and the big pumpkins
Not a great picture because it was taken with a cell phone, but we made a pumpkin out of a can and we are making black cats soon. I will take better pictures with the actual camera when we do those. :)

More pictures to come. I promise and this time sooner than later!
