Happy Halloween!

We had a lot of fun dressing up this year Mindy was Silvermist from the Movie Tinkerbell and Josh was Batman!

We went to our neighbourhood park and did trunk or treat. Both kids had fun with their friends and got a lot of candy!

We are very excited for baby girl to come ! Here I am yesterday November 15, 2009 at

28 weeks!

Where has the time gone!

I have been very busy with a sick little Josh. He still has days where his stomach hurts and has a extreme lack of energy so for any of you that know my kids know that they never stop running, jumping, climbing etc... They did test him for Celiac and the test results came back inconclusive so he will be seeing a Gastroenterologist on 10/27 to have a look at him and most likely they will schedule a small bowel biopsy not fun but necessary.

I have now reached 23 weeks in my pregnancy AKA 6 months! Baby Girl is growing very well! I am hoping these last months will go by fast. So far things have been great not quite as well as being pregnant with Mindy and gratefully nothing like Josh (he was a horrible pregnancy) Other than some common aches pains and headaches I feel well. I am starting to slow down and get tired a lot easier than I did a month ago but that is normal too.

There has been a few times that I have fallen asleep and Mindy and Josh didn't want to wake me so Mindy took care of Josh. She did a great job they read books and had a messy snack but that was OK she was very proud of herself!

Mindy is getting to be a very grown up and will be a big help when I have the baby!

A New School Year!

Well Aug 24th met 2 milestones one big one for Mindy!! She started 1st grade at Diamond Ridge Elementary School. For her this means 2 extra recesses and lunch at school. For me this means 8:40 am to 3:20 pm with one child (well until Feb). The second milestone belongs to me, I hit 16 weeks! It is exciting because I was able to schedule the all important all knowing 18 week Ultrasound! This will take place on Sept 11th. Everyone asks me why would you schedule a test on such a somber day? Well I will tell you- I would like Brian to be there and that was the day and time that worked for his work schedule. We have one of each so we don't really have a preference. We will be happy with a health baby!

13 weeks and counting

We are so excited to enter the 13th week of my pregnancy. I am starting to feel a little better and my belly is looking more plump. I took the kids with me to my last OB visit so they could hear the heart beat! Mindy shouted out "It sounds like a sister"!! I am trying to prepare her for possible disappointment in case it is not, but she is confident that it is a girl. We should be finding out the first part of Sept so stay tuned!!

Bear Lake 2009

This past week was our annual Asthon Family vacation to Bear Lake. Unfortunately Brian was unable to get work off so I took the kids up on Wed July 8th and Brian joined us on Fri July 10th. A great time was had by all!! We hit the beach Thurs, Fri and Sat. We played all day in the sand and the surf. Daddy was there on Sat to take the kids on their first Wave Runner rides!!

All Smiles!!
