Because she got new lipstick.

Hannah's halloween party.

The cutest bat girl I've ever seen! The boys have their Halloween parade tomorrow at school.

The ward carnival.

I wasn't able to go. I stayed home with Lydia but Heath took the boys and Hannah. Memaw made some chili for the chili cook off.

The kids seemed to love it. They got their faces painted, played games, got candy and ate cupcakes they won from a cakewalk type game. Hannah was ready to go back today.
Did I mention I really hate jaundice and more particularly the lights. It's so rough. She just wants to be cuddled but nooooooo. Her bilirubin was lower today but they still want her in the lights. It will probably be another rough night of little sleep. Ugh! Please let us be done after tomorrow's test!

The lights!

All my kids have been jaundice but i think Hannah is the only one that didn't have to go under the lights.

Lydia Claire is here!

This girl was born yesterday at 12:07 pm. She was 8 lbs 7 oz and 20 inches long. She's just as cute as she could be and the kids just love her (the proof is in the pictures).

The delivery was as smooth as could be (my 3rd c-section) and I know that we were all being watched over. I have the best doctors and the anesthesiologist was just as nice as he could be. Feeling so blessed and in love with this girl.

The toenails are painted...guess we're all ready!

Heath painted my toenails today. So, I think that means we are all ready for the c-section Monday.

It's great to be 8!

Noah turned 8 on Saturday and had a fun birthday party. The kids went up to Dad's school art room and got to make things out of clay. They played games and then in the end they made a sculpture that they wanted to have fired.

I can't believe I have an 8 year old and I can believe baby #4 will be here Monday.

Noah is excited to be baptized and we are excited he has chosen to be baptized. The past few months we have been able to talk about it as a family which has been fun.

My mama and aunt Janna will be here on Saturday. I can hardly wait.

Pierced

Today Hannah got her ears pierced. She cried a little but did pretty well.

Game day

Noah played quarterback a lot today and did a great job. They lost 26 to 8 but they all had fun.

The eventful

Well, here are a few things that are blog worthy in my opinion. Noah had an infection under his tooth so they put him on an antibiotic, then filled the cavity in the tooth. The next week he had pain in the tooth again. We went to a different dentist and he said the tooth was bad and pulled it. The other dentist was talking about doing a baby root canal. I really didn't want to do that. Glad he's pain free now!

Last Saturday Hannah came running in my room screaming. It was hard to tell what she was saying but I finally got that she had a lego stuck in her nose. I thought for sure we would be paying a visit to the instacare. I finally got her to calm down and was able to pull it out easily (thank you Heavenly Father) with some tweezers. Phew! She was pretty shaken up so I told her the story about Asher putting mini M&M's up his nose but that they melted and he had chocolate and a rainbow of colors coming from his nose

Noah started flag football and is loving it. Asher loves practicing with him and can't wait until he's old enough.

Also, we've been looking at houses which is really exciting and crazy at the same time. With the baby due in 5 weeks I think we'll take a little break from it unless a really good deal comes up.

Next month will be a little crazy. The baby will be here, it will be Noah's birthday and we will be preparing for his baptism. All very exciting!

I think that's all our excitement.

Wait one more thing...last Thursday all the local schools were on lockout because a man robbed a bank, took some hostages, and fled in a car. He ended up ditching the car with the hostages in it (thank goodness). It was very near Noah's school so they were not letting anyone in or out. The robber started shooting at the police (I guess he had a death wish) and did eventually got shot and killed. Noah didn't get home from school until 6:15 (3 hours later than normal).

Cool Runnings

Last night we watched Cool Runnings, a movie about a Jamaican bobsled team. Before the movie was over we had all 3 kids in their own laundry baskets (aka bobsleds). They had stuffed animals for their teammates.  Funniest kids ever!

Asher grows his own watermelons

Asher has a watermelon patch over at grandma and grandpa's. This year he didn't actually plant any seeds but we had a few volunteer watermelons where last years patch was. He loves watermelon!
