This is going to be a big one!!

So some of you may not know, but Tom and I have had to cut back on some luxury things like the internet, cable, home phone and pretty mouch any thing that we want! Things have been tight with him doing his own thing with business. But thats ok with me, it makes me really grateful for the things that I have. Anyway....... here are a few things that we have been up too... Brindley and I went up to our friends Ryan and Brittanys and picked some of their apples. They have like 15 trees and they don't use the apples so I thought I could figure something out. So I decided this last saturday to make apple sauce and an apple pie. I know Im a nerd!!
Heres Brin picking some apples!!
Mommy and Brin!! (dad really missed out on some good fun)
The Canning of the apples and the apple pies took me ohhh about 7 hours! My feet hurt so freakin bad I haven't been on my feet that long in a LONG time!! But Tom was a sweetie and gave me a good foot and back rub!!
Our next fun family event was HALLOWEEN!!! Our friends Ryan and Brit decided to do a a Murder Mystery Party! So after we took brindley to see family and a few friends she went to Grandma Johnsons for the night! The party was a BLAST! Brit and Alicia did such an AWESOME job!! It was a way fun night! Tom dressed up as Lee Marvin an old western guy and I was Patsy Cline also an old country singer!! Here are a few pictures from the night.....
Grandma Cindy and Brindley
Grandpa Johnson and Brindley
This is where we had dinner!!
Lee Marvin and Pasty Cline!!
Jimmy Henricks was the murder!!
A whole bunch of people that I don't know, but it was good to get to know a few of them.
Again Brit you did such a great job I hope that you do it again next year!!
Okay last but not least, I few weeks ago Tom and I were supposed to find out what we were having but the baby had its legs closed!! I was so disappointed! Brindley did the same thing to us, so go figure this one had to do the same!! So they told me to come back in 2 weeks!! Then last Monday my doctors office called and told me that I actually couldnt come in until the 20th! WHAT a whole month! This baby really didn't want me to know!! Anyway..... On wednesday I got a call and the doc said if you can be here in the next hour you can find out what your having. So I was there in 10 mins flat.. I know im really silly!!! This time it wasen't shy at all.............................................. ITS A GIRL!!!!! Im so excited!! I wanted Brindley to have a little sister so bad!! Tom was a little bummed, but has wamed up to the thought of another girl!!

Heey!! You have the same background as me!! Funny!! Anyway...sounds like some fun family activities! How did the applesauce and pie turn out? Congratulations on another girl!! That'll be fun! It'll be fun to see if she looks just like Brindley or has her own little look (that's what I'm excited to see about this one). The baby's gonna be here on the 17th (I think it's gonna be a loooong 2 weeks!!) AND Matt's gonna be gone for a week of it-yay!

Once again congratulations on the girl! I am so excited for you. Having 2 girls has been so much fun for me! Brindley's hair looks so cute, I love it! Having cable, phone, and internet will be hard, but you can do it. I've been married for almost 5 years and we still have never had cable. It's not that bad.

Looks like you guys had a fun time. I totally forgot that your old last name was Johnson. When you said Grandma Johnson I thought "Who the heck is that?" It's weird how used I am to everybody's new (except not so new anymore) last names. Anyway, congrats on the girl. That's totally what I thought you would have. I can't see you with boys for some reason.

Anyhow, I wanted to ask you a few questions about the neighborhood and stuff, can you email me? I couldn't find your email on here anywhere...

I just read on Lauren's blog that you have pneumonia :>( I'm so sorry to hear that...defnitely no fun. I truly hope you get feeling better and that little Brindley doesn't catch it! We need to schedule a time to do my hair 1 more time before little Will gets here within the next month! Talk to you soon.
