Deanna's Cake
My friend Deanna had a 50th Anniversary party today for her parents and asked me if I could make a cake for it. I love the ribbon that she chose and the way it all came together. It is so much fun to do cakes for friends and family, so much better than doing it for a stranger. So here it is :) I love it. I think it's one of my very favorites so far.

Amost half way!!
Wow I can't believe I am almost at 20 weeks! That happened fast. I love this part since I can finally feel the baby moving around a little and I'm finally starting to look pregnant and not just chubby. I used the timer on my camera to take this picture, and was surprised at how big I look already! I didn't think I was showing that much, although I've been in maternity clothes since about 10 weeks so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But unlike every other pregnancy I haven't gained much weight yet so that's been really nice.
So wondering what we decided about having the baby at home? We decided against it since we're a little farther away from the hospital than we'd like in case of an emergency, that and neither or us really want to have to do the clean up lol. But I found a place that's in between a home birth and a birthing center and we've decided to go there. I'm really excited. Check it out. www.bellanatal.com
We even found a doula that we are going to use and both really like her. So it will be different than the others that's for sure, but hopefully different in a good way. By the way, you should see the birthing tub there, it's huge!!! That pretty much sealed the deal for me.

Halloween
Sorry these pics are so late, but better late than never right?
Heres our Batman and Monkey all ready to do some trick or treating. See the cute trick or treat bags the Grandma Kathy made them?
The donut game, always a classic.
Aaron the pumpkin carver. We grew our own pumpkins this year which was really fun so we had a whole bunch to carve. I even made homemade pumpkin pie one day. I think I've been ruined my canned pumpkin though, I think it taste a lot better for pie than jack o latern pumpkin.
Here's the boys before the ward trunk or treat, Kc wore the chicken costume for that.

President Obama
I'm sure I'm not alone being glued to the tv tonight to see what would happen with the elections. And I'm sure there are many of you that are disappointed in the outcome, but I have to say that I am excited.
I'm excited to be able to witness such a historic event and to know that with all that our country has been through we have come far enough to be able to look past race in such an important decision.
Sure there are things about Obama that I disagreed with, same with McCain, and it was a hard decision for me when I went to vote. But I'm glad that Obama won, and glad that I was able to vote for him today. And I'm looking forward with hope and anticipation to see where our country is headed. I'm sure there are a lot of hard times to come, but that would be the same no matter who won. Obama has a lot of expectations to live up to and I hope that he can do it. But no matter what some may say I think this was the right move, even with my limited knowledge of the political world. And I'm excited.
