Charcoal Grey

Blue Pinstripe

So we went and picked up the suits that dad bought for me yesterday. I tried them on last night when we got back and we snapped some pictures of em. The charcoal grey one is the italian cut, oober fancy one. The other one is a blue suit with a nice pinstripe in it. I think dad said the blue one is the same kind or similar to what Jared got for his. So we’ll have to wear em at the same time and play mafia next time we’re in town. I’ll be wearing the blue suit today to  church (Ellynn says it’s more “Autumy”). We’ll only be going to sacrament today because Ellynn’s still got that little meatloaf in her belly, well he’s probably not that little. They hooked her up to an ultrasound machine and a heart monitor for about an hour total yesterday at the hospital. The ultrasound tested to see how much amniotic fluid is left in her uterus. She was half a percentage above the allowable amount. They said if it were a couple points lower they may have considered inducing a little bit more but what she had was fine for a while. The nurse did have to go get a doctor to help with the ultrasound because as she said, “There’s just a lot of baby in there!” For the last half hour they hooked her up to a heart monitor for the baby and a muscle monitor for her abdominal wall checking for contractions. The baby’s heartbeat started off fairly slow. The doctor said that a slow heart rate might cause concern and maybe that would make them induce. Slow heart rates also can mean sleeping babies. As soon as she mentioned that Finn’s heart rate jumped right up to where it should be normally and stayed there till the test was over…despite Ellynn yelling at him the whole time to slow it down. Our next appointment is on Tuesday where they’ll do the same check all over again and if by Friday he hasn’t come then they’ll induce her.

Along with the baby stuff we had 2 families worth of relatives in town. One stayed with us and the other split between a hotel and Ellery and LeAnne’s place. In all the whole group here in Battle Ground was around or over 30 people. We did thanksgiving at the church in the cultural hall which was really nice because the billions of kids had plenty of room to run around. We ended the night with a fun game of volleyball that Ellynn played till the end. Everyone was sure that would push her into labor but they, like everyone else, underestimate this kid.

Well that was about all for our week and weekend. We’ll keep you all posted over the next week. Bye!

 

Halloween in Washington

So halloween here was pretty cool. Washington has some pretty cool fog that rolls in at night and with all the trees it looks straight out of a scary movie. Ellynn dressed up in her witch costume again and even added some eye make-up. She made a scary face for this picture and it turned out pretty cool.

Ellynn told mom a little bit about our halloween night walk that we did. We had planned the day before halloween to go have a picnic along this one trail that you can walk by the church. It’s a pretty dense forest trail that has a lake with some picnic tables by it. We went out there with some subway sandwiches to eat. Ellery and Leanne had gotten out there ahead of us and lined the trail with candles and put candles all over the picnic area. So it was pitch black everywhere else except the lighted parts on the trail. It was pretty cool. Everyone wants to make that a halloween tradition. It’d be a pretty easy one to do every year.

and here’s some pictures of the sunday walk we went on today.  the trees looked really cool.

Ellynn even stole the kids candy…well she just whined ‘cuz she got the ring pop.

Fun Times....

Here are some Halloween pictures and a few random ones. Jess was a mad scientist..she had to dress up 3 times for different events. Her friend Karl... you remember Karl? He's at our front door with the witch that hangs out there. hehe. He came over to go trick or treating with Jess & her friends. ahhhhh....
And Justin is just being Justin.... He found these in the closet and decided to go all conehead on us. This was during the crazy BYU game... I guess he was getting rid of the stress or trying to cover his ears from his dad's yelling. haha Then there's Janae's gorgeous picture Ady took of her. She actually took quite a few. This will be the one that hangs in the living room.
Hope you had a good Halloween!
Love, Mom
