Announcing Logan Bradley!!

Mommy at 39 weeks pregnant trying to smile through the contractions!!
My labor woke me up at 4 am and I told Brad that I thought it was time. We dropped off Paige and headed to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital at about 7:30 and got all settled in. I was having contractions at that point about four minutes apart and they were pretty intense so I got my epidural. It was very helpful! Logan arrived at 11:52 am and we were so thrilled. Logan was 7 pounds, nine ounces and nineteen inches long! We are also shocked at all of his dark hair and how much he had!!

Right after he was born!

Fall Festival & The Pumpkin Patch!!

Today Brad, Paige, and I headed out to the Fall Festival at our pre-school. It was chilly today so we bundled up and decided to go have some fun anyway! Here is Paige getting her face painted.

Each class made a scarecrow for a contest. Paige's class decided on the theme of The Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs. Here is Paige with her class scarecrow. My class theme was Johnny Appleseed. I forgot to take a picture of it.

The three of us on the hay ride. Excuse the giant pregnant lady!

After the festival we decided to go to the pumpkin patch to get some pumpkins. We have had a fun filled Fall day!!

Daddy and Paige

Daddy's Little Girl

Paige loves to spend time with her daddy when he is watching baseball. She likes to watch with him and talk to him about the players. She has learned so much about baseball and loves to talk to Daddy all about it! She also likes to act it out while they are watching! Here is a picture of her being the catcher. She looked at us one night and said I'll be the catcher, watch me and this is what she did!! So cute!!

Special Treat!

Paige has been asking for a really long time about getting her ears pierced so we decided to let her do something special before her little brother gets here! So we took her today to get her ears pierced!! Here is the before shot!!

This is after they pulled her hair up and made the dots on her ears!!

All done!! She picked her own earrings!! She wanted diamonds!She did cry but was super excited afterwards!! She looks like such a big girl!! I can't believe how big she is:)

Strawberry Pie

On Labor Day Paige and I decided we would make some pie!! We decided on strawberry since summer is almost over!! Here is Paige helping me make the crust! Homemade crust is the best!!

Rolling out the dough.

The end result!! (Well, it still had to chill for 3 hours)

Paige enjoying her pie!!

Yummy!!

I think she liked it!! Brad and I thought it was delicious too!

Fun with a Friend!!

A couple weekends ago we went on a play date with Paige's friend Gabriel! His mom owns two horses and we went to the barn to see and pet the horses.The barn was also used by other people so we got to see lots of horses. Gabriel and Paige were in the same preschool class together last year and have remained friends.

Playing in the sandbox!

Looking at the horses!

Paige smiling with a pony.
