Another Baby girl!

I didn't realize how far behind I was on life stories on our blog! Its been awhile but we found out baby #3 is a girl!! We totally thought it was a boy cuz I had a dream that it was a boy..but we were wrong.. well apparently we have been always wrong..I guess I'm not gonna be one of those that guesses right..well Jesse wanted a boy 1st & I wanted a girl & we got our boy! then with our 2nd we wanted another boy buddy for Logan & we got our girl! So maybe we will just never guess it right! So the boys will be outnumbered now! 

We actually got some cool pictures this time of her feet & hands & a amazing profile picture! I always cry seeing these pictures as they catch them. It really is amazing!

 lately I really dont like taking belly pictures of me..its just feels weird snapping a pic of my belly but I should be better so they can see these pictures when they get older.. so here I am at 31 weeks..feeling huge..can't breathe much, cant eat too much at one time either..I definetely have felt more discomfort with this one then the other 2 for sure! plus 2 kids trying to play with mommy like normal & come to jump on my belly to sit..ya not so comfortable. but hey Logan has been so interested this time & asking so many questions like: How does the baby get food? so I also explained to him that baby sister can now hear you & will be able to recognize his voice. that made him so excited that he said: "So mom does that mean baby sister can hear me fighting with light sabers?? OH boy.. star wars fan big brother will teach you the skills baby sister:)

We are so excited to meet this little one!

Halloween 2012

Oh how I love Halloween! I love dressing up! Next year we will get prepared sooner! But still thanks to Grandma for having costumes shes kept because mommy was animal control with my little doggy & kitty! Bummer daddy was working again this year so hopefully we can drag him into dressing next year!(He doesn't really want to but I can talk him into it since its cool to be a family dressed up until my kids disagree!)   So had to post the fun pics of cute kids, fun treats I made this year(dont normally do that:)..too much work..) but they were yummy! & the kids loved doing pumpkins! didn't know if they would care but even Emma wanted to dig all the gunk out & Logan would not let us help at all..so it was fun! 

 I just had to post a chunk of these pics because they were the funny multiples catching them being funny & Emma, like usual, trying to stick her finger in somebodys mouth..

Motherhood

I struggle daily with being a mother. I wonder if I'm doing any good for my children. I hope I am helping them become who they need to be. This week has been a struggle. But as I was reading Logan & Emma a story for nap time today, right in the middle of Thomas:), I was overwhelmed to tears with the feeling of joy, happiness & felt like this was right, this is happiness, & I was doing what I was supposed to be doing right now, at this time. I felt like my Heavenly Father was telling me, Candice, you are doing just fine. It will always be hard but I love my children, I love being a wife & mother. I was overcome with a feeling of gratitude for these children & I needed to be reminded of that, today.
