Autumn 2014

We were able to take the boys to the Pumpkin Patch this year, Oliver had so much fun! I took him last year with my sister, sister in law and their kids, and he had fun, but he wasn't totally into it. This year, Terry was able to come and Oliver just loved it!

Our ward Harvest Party was the Wednesday before Halloween, and we had a ton of fun. Oliver had his very own Oliver tractor, which took forever to make, and then he wouldn't wear it. We dressed Mack up as a trucker, complete with a 5 o'clock shadow! Terry never wants to participate so he was Dad, and I just my bump up as a Jack-o-lantern.

We finished combining the Wednesday the same day as our Harvest Party. The earliest we have ever finished harvest! It was definitely something to celebrate.

Tradition

This year they turned the water off in the canal on the 23rd of October. To celebrate, we decided we would go to breakfast, since that would never happen while irrigating. We had a lot of fun, and together, Terry and I decided we would make it a tradition, we'll do it every year, even when the kids start school. I love that we are starting to have things that just our little family will do together for years to come!

Laundry

The boys love laundry baskets. They are the best!

Girl's Trip

I'm so fortunate and blessed to have the in laws that I have. Terry's family has always welcomed me and made me feel like I'm part of the family. Terry is the only boy and has 5 sisters. This year they decided to have a girls trip and they made sure I was invited. Not everyone was able to make it, but we had such a good time! We went to San Diego, California the first weekend of October. It was a lot of fun for us to all be with each other without kids pulling at our shirts. We enjoyed lots of laughs, and lots of food! This trip was the first time I had ever flown, and it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be, but I'm glad I can say I've done it! We hung out on the beach, went to the temple, and spent a day at Sea World. I'm so glad Terry said I could go (combining corn was in full swing), and that my parents were willing to help watch our boys. I am so glad I can call Terry's sisters my friends as well!

Walton Baby #3

Well, I guess I'm just baby hungry. Baby hungry off of my own baby. I just love babies! And Terry does too, of course, especially at the rate we are going- boys! So we decided to have another!!

This was the picture we shared on all of our social media sites, but....

this one was our original idea, so some friends and family received this one!

We found out that we are having a BOY at 18.6 weeks.

Oliver looks so excited!

I was going to share this one if it was a girl, I had to share on here, just because both of their faces are priceless. Oliver totally unhappy, and Mack looks shocked. Love it. 

This pregnancy has been the easiest on me. I haven't been nearly as sick, I don't even know the last time I threw up. 

I am now 22 weeks. Today actually. 

I felt the baby move at 16.5 weeks

Terry felt the baby move at 17.2 weeks

He was measuring right on size at our ultrasound and was healthy as could be.

Something fun to note: The baby had the muscle tone of a 26-28 week baby. The tech said he is very defined. What is fun though, is that that is exactly what he said about Oliver and Mack. My doctor even mentioned it to me when I had my follow up appointment. Our boys are tough!

My official due date is March 19, 2015 but we will have the baby March 12, exactly one week after Mack's first birthday. I think this will be the closest I will ever be to having twins!

Mack at 6 months

Mack is growing like a weed and has such a fun personality. At his 6 month appointment he weighed 16.15 pounds and was exactly 50th percentile. This is what gets us, his height was 27.5 inches and he was 75th percentile! You wouldn't believe it, but Mack weighs the same as what Oliver did at 6 months, but looks so so much skinnier, and now we know why! He is a tall little fella compared to Oliver, who never made it passed the 35th percentile as a baby for his height. Mack is a mover, he rolls and rolls and has started to scoot a little bit. It won't be long until he is on the move. He sleeps really well, 10 or so hours at night, and he has finally stopped taking 40 min cat naps and will take about 3 one to two hour naps a day. He rolls over so much in his sleep that we can't swaddle him anymore, which he still loves, so getting him down for a nap is a struggle. He is figuring out how to sit up, but is still pretty tipsy. He loves being outside as much as Oliver does and he LOVES his sippy cup. He doesn't care for baby food, he only likes finger foods that he can put in his mouth himself. He figured out how to eat cheerios and those little puffs really quick. Oliver still loves having him around but is starting to get more and more rough with him. He wants someone to wrestle with, and that day will soon come!

On Top

Oliver loves to put hats, hoods, headbands, and whatever else he can find, on his head. I've seen him put a sand bucket, and baskets on his head too. He is such silly kid. He has started helping Mack join in the fun too!

Time-out

I took a break from blogging the last couple of months. But with new changes, I decided to start it back up. This is where most of my journaling happens, and since I haven't been doing it, I'm starting to forget things before I've written them down. I'll do a couple of posts to catch everyone up, and write down the things I want to remember.
