Evan's Big Boy Room

Here are the pictures of Evan's room. He loves it!

Busy Preparing for Baby

I have gotten so behind in my blogging! I have some Halloween pictures and a couple pictures of the baby's room. My mom was here for a month helping me get lots of things done around here before munchkin comes. I haven't taken any pictures of Evan's room yet but we hung a wallpaper boarder of trucks in there and organized his toys with some under the window shelves. It came out great! In the baby's room we painted a 12 inch stripe around the room and hung up turtles all around. I am very pleased with how everything came together. We also did several loads of laundry so the baby will have nice clean clothes. Lots of neutral things and some of Evan's clothes in case it's a boy.


I've had a pretty good start on Christmas shopping and feeling like I should be finished soon. I'm keeping it simple and I want it done ASAP so I don't have to worry about it come December. Obviously Santa is bringing some things as well.  ;)


I am 35 weeks now and I am ready....at least physically. Starting to feel uncomfortable and my energy is definitely low. It doesn't help having a high energy 3 year old but he's been great. I got Evan a baby doll. He was very excited about it and he sleeps with it and carries it around. I've asked him the name of the baby and he says basketball. Go figure. We talk about being gentle with the baby and that babies cry and they drink milk etc. I think he's going to be a great big brother but I'm sure he'll have his moments. It will definitely be exciting around here in a few weeks.


I went to a website and set up a baby guessing game so our friends and family can make their prediction. It's silly but should be fun too. Check it out!

Type in EmeryBaby2 where it says Invited Guests.

Here some recent pictures that I have.

Eric and I went to a Halloween party and I found the idea for our costumes online. I didn't have many options and I thought this was perfect for my big belly. The costumes were a big hit! Everyone loved them!

Our little pirate. He had so much fun this year. 

He finally understood what Halloween was about. 

He was such a cute pirate!

Baby's room.

The Enchanted Maize

I have been wanting to take Evan to a pumpkin patch and yesterday we went to the Enchanted Maize. Unfortunately there was no pumpkin patch but there were a lot of fun things to do. We went on a hay ride, walked through the corn maize and Evan jumped in a blow up jumper. It was a great day and we had lots of fun.

Pumpkin Patch Party

Evan had a Pumpkin Patch Party at his school last week. Lots of little pumpkins to decorate, bubbles, crafts and lunch. He really likes school and the party was a big hit. I was able to go with him and participate in all the pumpkin festivities.

Rock City

We took Evan to Rock City with Gulya and my mom a couple weeks ago. He really enjoyed it and the weather was perfect. It was Gulya's first time there too. Here are some pics from our visit.

Evan's Tricycle

Evan loves his tricycle. He always wants to ride. I wish we had a driveway for him to ride it more. Right now he rides it on our front porch.

I had to have one these printed for his teacher. She's putting together a little book of the kids and needed a picture of him doing something he couldn't do when he was a baby. He loves preschool. He asks to go all the time. I am so glad that he enjoys it.

Evan's in Preschool

Here are some pictures of Evan in his K3 class at preschool! A couple of the pictures are from when they had the bear picnic.

Bear Picnic

Evan's class had a bear picnic on Thursday. They have been reading different bear books the last couple weeks. The kids were able to bring their bear to school for the picnic. Evan was thrilled to take his bear to school! He really enjoyed it.

Quick story behind this bear. My friend Jessica (who I've known my whole life) gave me this bear sometime when I was in middle school (I think). I could never get rid of it. It just had some sort of sentimental value to me. When Jessica had her daughter Laura, I gave her the bear back so Laura could enjoy it. Then later when I found out I was pregnant with Evan, Jessica gave me the bear back for him. This bear will always be in the family in some kind of way and may be passed down to other future children. That would be neat. He will always be with us. :)

24 Weeks

Here is my 24 week belly picture. I also put up the 24 week picture from my last pregnancy to compare. Not much different.

Dead Tree

The tree that we relocated back in February didn't make it. Eric tried everything to keep it alive but it died anyway. It is still standing and right now it looks like a giant twig sticking out of ground. I wish he would cut it down. Anyway, our neighbors thought it would be funny to decorate the tree as a joke. We came home one night and saw the lights on the tree. It's our very own Charlie Brown Christmas tree. It was a pretty funny joke.
