Guess What

News from the Casper Crew... We are pregnant with baby #2! I am 11 weeks along and yes I am a sick and pathetic mom.
Being pregnant the second time around is so much harder than the first! Especially with Phil gone for work so much. I have fantasized that some kind soul would whisk Bruin away for the next few weeks and return him when I'm no longer sick! I just want to lay on the couch all day and nibble on the 15 boxes of cold cereal I bought. Instead I hold my breath while I change poopy diapers, make and clean up revolting meals, and get crawled on while I try to get Bruin hooked on cartoons with no success. Such a bad mommy, I know! But as I've been told, he won't remember and in a few weeks I'll be fun mom again.

Big shout out to Phil though, when he is home he always helps put the place back together by cleaning and tackling all the dishes that build up in the kitchen.. (I just can't always stomach them.) Thanks hunny!

And my momma for letting me sprawl out on her floor while she entertains Bruin and offers me dinner.

Oh and my dad for paying me generously for office work so that I can supply my "Food Cravings/Eating Out Fund."

I don't know what I would do without you guys!

Anyways, that's our news and its fun to finally be able to announce it :) Here is a pic of the little one

Our Scary Pumpkin

During half-time of the BYU game we carved our first pumpkin with Bruin. He thought the innards were so disgusting and made the funniest faces, but of course he still played with it.
When we were done and we lit it that night, Phil and I were pretending that the jack-o-lantern was biting our hand and he got so scared of it. This is funny because Bruin isn't scared of ANYTHING. Lately though if we pretend something is scary he catches on and gets really concerned. Anyways, now everytime we pass by our jack-o-lantern outside our door he points at it and stomps his feet with a concerned look on his face. But hey, Halloween is for being scared right?

Notes

Note to Self:
Always keep phone on Key Lock when letting Bruin play with it, or you will wake up to a 5am alarm that says "Airport"... what the ??? grrr

Note to Self:
Never give a toy that can potentially hold any amount of liquid to a toddler in a bath. You will wind up with a cup of water to your face when you least expect it.

Lessons Learned

We are Alive

It has been almost a month since my last blog and I am so sorry for all those who have clicked on our site and been forced to hear the BYU fight song over and over :)
My sister April came in town with her little boy, Gavin, who is 2 and we've been having so much fun hanging out everyday. The boys played really well together, which gave us a break so we were thrilled. We ate lots of good food and did some fun things and the best part was just hanging with my sister and mom every day. Phil thinks I'm gonna roll into a ball of depression now that she left, haha!
It is 8:45am and for some reason Bruin is still sleeping so I now have the opportunity to blog some of the stuff we've been up to. Most of the pics I will end up posting on Bruin's blog because they're of him, but here are some from the past month.
