Hunting.....and the dreaded "belly shot"

A few weeks ago, we went down to Ephraim for the deer hunt.  Needless to say, David was super excited, since we have been away for the last 3 years, so he could hardly sleep.  (no seriously, he was waking up at like 3:30am for a few days before the hunt....yah....great.....which means I was up around that time to since it is so hard to go back to sleep lately).  Anywho,  as you can see, he was successful in his hunt, and he had so much fun with his Dad and brothers and cousins.  We were able to go over and have a nice lunch with all the hunters and get some fun pictures with all the grandkids.

For some unknown reason (yah right), David just LOVES this picture of Brigham.  Something about a father and son and their love of hunting, he was just going on and on about how great this picture was.  Yah, he sure looks cute, but it is hard to overlook the DEAD animal he is crawling on:)  I have no doubt that David will be able to pass on his love of hunting to his children (I say children, because I know Isabel loves to be in the outdoors with her daddy already)

 This is Brigham's cousin who is 2 months older than him.  They were both very intrigued by the deer and had fun admiring his antlers. 
 

 Yes, that is Isabel's doll stroller.  And yes, that is my almost 2 year old sitting in it!  I can't believe it has lasted this long without breaking or tearing to shreds.  When they are actually playing nice together, it is so cute to see them interact and enjoy each other, so I will sacrifice the life of the stroller to enjoy these moments.
Here is a pic from when Brigham was 3 months old, and Isabel started pushing him around in it.  Feel free to let out an "oohhh", cause he was pretty darn adorable!

And finally.......the dreaded belly shot!  I am now 31 weeks....and feeling it!  I haven't taken a belly shot this pregnancy until now.  I kept meaning too, and everytime I thought about it, I was either too tired or looked too terrible to bust out the camera.  Not that this is much better, but hey, I am showered and not falling asleep after the kids are in bed, so I will take what I can get:)

A few weeks ago, I was feeling pretty good, and I thought, "oh the 3rd trimester is gonna go so fast".  Now I wonder how I am gonna make it to the end:)  I won't bore you with all the complaints, because they really don't matter.  What matters is that I feel so blessed to be able to have children, that I should have nothing to complain about.  I am healthy (even though I don't feel like it) and I have such a wonderful family, that I can't wait to see how this little one will bless our lives even more!  I am glad the holidays are coming up, because that is a great distraction and will help the time pass.
We are going to be home for Thanksgiving.  David is on call that weekend, so we have to stay put.  I talked David into letting me cook a small thanksgiving dinner for us here at our house.  He didn't want to burden me with all the cooking and prep work, and wanted to just go out to eat.  But then, I had visions of him getting called into the hospital just as we started eating, and didn't want to be left with 2 toddlers in a crowded restaurant full of hungry people.  So I would rather be stuck at home alone with 2 toddlers, and my favorite sweet potatoes all to myself:)
