So many Halloween Activities!! :D

Halloween Family Fun 2014!!

As with every year, October is jam-packed full of fun activities!!!   There are TONS of pictures, So I just did a collage for each activity :D


Every year, Ogden Nature Center does their Creatures of the Night.  This is our 2nd time going, and it was so much fun!!!   There are lots of games for the kids to play, and they get cute little prizes!  Then they can go on a Creature Hunt, and find some animals.  They also get to make some crafts, this year, it was a toilet paper spider!  They also have a black-light giant spider web that the kids get to climb thru



The Dinosaur Park also does a fun Trunk or Treat like thing every year.  You can dress up in your costume (Lexi was Doctor Who this year) and go around to different vendors, each with a game to play, and the kids will win candy and small toys!  They also have lots of Halloween decorations all thru the park, so you can still visit all the dinosaurs, and you also get to play in the park!  So much fun!!!




J and J Garden Center, every year, will let you go on a hayride for free, and pick out a pumpkin!  Lexi had so much fun dragging us around and finding the perfect pumpkin!!! 


Treehouse Museum had their Halloween activity this year.  You meet the Mad Matter, and the Old Woman in a shoe at the beginning, and they take you on a story time adventure!   We got to meet Arthur, and see him pull the sword from the stone, and become king!  We met the three little pigs, and so many other fairy tale characters! Kids also got longs of fun stuff, and Lexi and Aiden had a blast racing back and forth afterwards.  


Cherry Hill is a local water park/Mini Golf course.  Every October, it transforms into Scary HIll!   There are scary decorations up all over the golf course, mazes, and even a haunted hay ride thru the skeletons!   



Family Halloween Party at the Slightly Haunted Burrow!   Its always so much fun to get with Family during the Holidays, but the Halloween party is always my favorite!  This year, everyone was required to wear a costume, and everyone brought a fun game for the kids to play.  They had Pumpkin Bowling, Mummy Wrapping Race, and Crafts, and we got to roast marshmallows.  It was so much fun!!!  



Halloween!  This was probably our most simple Halloween we ever did :(  Most because I was sick with being pregnant.  Oh well.  Lexi got to dress up as a Witch Doctor, and go Trick or Treating.  and we still had fun!

Exciting News!

EXCITING NEWS!~


So a couple months ago, Jared and I decided we were ready to start trying to our second child.  Since I do no ovulate on my own, we needed to do some careful planning since it is very time consuming to get pregnant, with the weekly appointments, and remembering meds, and so many other.....factors (wink wink) 

We did not want another Aug baby, so we decided that we will do a couple rounds, starting just after Lexi's birthday.  If no positive result by Halloween, we would wait until January to pick up again.  
According to my last visit/ultrasound.  with the help of being on metformin to regulate my periods, I was actually ovulating, but i was not getting quality eggs, which means that even if I did get pregnant, It was a high chance of it not being viable, and ending in a miscarriage.  So with the first cycle, starting literally the day after Lexi's party, we started clomid to see how that helped my eggs.  Little did we know that not only would I pop out a very healthy egg, but that little egg was fertilized, implanted, and 2 weeks later we got a positive pregnancy test!!!  I could not BELIEVE it was so simple!!!
