More Excitement in the Hadlock Household.....

So about a month ago we had a guy knock on our door and ask us if we might be interested in selling our house. You see, he is wanting to build condos on the property next to us and wanted to aquire ours as well to build more on. We had been debating about it for a while and decided we were going to sell in about 6 months so we decided that if he wanted it he could have it. That is right folks we have sold our home. It is a little exciting and scary at the same time, we are extremely comfortable in our house of 7 years, but it will be nice to move on to bigger and better pastures. So here I am about 4 weeks to having a baby and we are house hunting. That has been an adventure, there are some people out there who need to consult a decorator that is for sure. We have decided to put in an offer on a house the needs the basement to be finished, that way Andy can have his projects and I can have a bigger house once it is done. But don't worry his projects won't disrupt my life so much as the closet did. He will be downstairs and I will be living happily upstairs. At least I can hope. :) By the way, we have stopped decorating the current house, so Brandon got his room painted and that was the end of it. He now has to wait for the new house to get his stickers on the wall, he wasn't too excited about that. I will keep you all informed as to the house dilema as it continues. I just hope that the first offer goes through and we can start that process and maybe get in before the little one decides to join our crazy life. By the way he is still nameless. We haven't really talked about it lately, a lot of stuff going on. If you catch my drift!

Baby Update.....

So I had another dr appointment yesterday. They did an ultrasound to check to make sure he was doing okay as far as the diabeties issue goes. He passed with flying colors. My blood pressure is still down, and I am losing weight. Who know you could loose weight and make a baby at the same time. I do have to go back in of Friday to monitor the baby and I am sure that will be good too. My doc just doesn't want something to sneak up on me like last time. He did say that if we didn't have the baby by Dec. 6th he would start me. Not too thrilled about that, being started wasn't so much fun last time, but what can I do? Not much, what the dr says usually goes. They said that he weighs 5 1/2 pounds, I think he weighs much more than that, he is hard to carry around all the time. So it seems as though all is well in the baby department, it will be a long 4 weeks, but I think I can do it. :) So the baby count down is wrong, just subtract 7 days and then it will be right again. Until next time........

Halloween 2008

So my mom had her Halloween party on Saturday. We all got together and ate some chilli and homemade rootbeer. My friends, Miranda and Jeff, came and brought their 2 boys, Aidan and Harry. Brandon was excited to see them, it had been awhile. Here are some pics of the silly boys in their costumes....Harry as a spider, Aidan as Batman, and Brandon as Scooby-Doo. Of course the kids just ate candy all night long. There was an excellent shot of Harry with chocolate all over his face but I didn't get it fast enough. It would have been way cute, oh well, maybe next time.

Super Brandon!

As part of his running around the house he decided to put his headband that he got from primary today and his "little blankie" as a cape and run around the house calling himself the super pumpkin cutter. I tell you the things this kid comes up with makes me laugh. He sure does make a cute superhero, don't you think? I wish there was a way that I could bottle up some of his energy and drink it. Anywho, I really need to go catch him and make him lay down, it is way past the super pumpkin cutter's bedtime. 7:30 comes pretty early even for a superhero. :)

Update (night)....

We (by we I mean Andy) were able to get the walls complete and the bed moved in. I had already put his sheets on his bed, but yesterday I found these CARS jammies, and of course he had to wear them for his first night in his CARS room. It isn't really a CARS room yet, we do have some wall clings that we are going to be putting up sometime this week, and then it will be a CARS room. He was soooooo excited to finally be in his room that we needed to take him for a walk to calm him down before bed, he was running crazy around the house. I will post somemore pics when we get everything officially done. We have to go to IKEA this coming weekend to see if we can find a dresser for him and then we will be done. Meanwhile, Andy is moving onto the next room. I am in charge of decorating he is in charge of painting. Not a bad deal if you ask me, I get the fun part.

Update on rooms (morning)......

We have plans to move Brandon into his room sometime this weekend, here it is Sunday morning and he is yet to do so. But we are getting closer. We would have moved him last night but Andy saw some places that needed to be "touched up" well, that ended up making things look a lot worse. So we had to go get another gallon of paint and he is currently adding another coat. While we were at Home Depot getting the paint we decided to grab another gallon for the baby's room "just in case" :) Hopefully by tonight we will have Brandon moved into his new room, well, at least his bed. We have yet to find a dresser for him, and I don't think we will have his closet quite done by tonight so maybe sometime this week. I will be sure to keep you updated.

Pumpkin Walk 2008

Brandon and I invited a couple of our friends to go to the North Logan pumpkin walk on Friday. We went last year and it was really fun for us. We invited Lance and Caden and their moms to come with us. This year there wasn't as many fun ones to take pictures of but we still had fun. The best display was the Noah's Ark. It was really cool. There was one that had a waterfall coming out of one of the pumpkins (Picture to follow) that was was cool too. At the end of the walk they have a witch that gives out cookies and they have pictures made out of cereal. Brandon loves Monsters Inc. so he was really excited to see the Mike Wygowski (however you spell it) picture. There was also a Scooby-Doo picture which he also likes because he is going to be him for Halloween.

The waterfull pumpkin, sorry my shadow is in the way, but you get the idea.

The silly boys, they were all dancing to the music to one of the displays. They had a lot of fun together.

Brandon thought the elephant butts were pretty funny!
