Justin's Birthday

Sunday was Justin's birthday. Friday night I got a sitter and I picked Justin up from work. We drove to Gig Harbor for some birthday shenanigans. First stop was dinner at The Gourmet Burger Shop. It is a small shop but I loved the food and my Dr. Pepper was yumm!

From there we went to a shopping area near the theater where we were going to see Thor: Ragnarok - I am the ultimate wife to endure this decade of comic book movie blech. We walked around Home Goods until it was time to grab our seats. We love this theater because the seats are really wide, and the chairs recline with a leg rest! It made the movie more endurable...I actually ended up kinda liking it so it wasn't all bad. And my Dr. Pepper kept me awake.

Sunday I invited Justin's family over for apple crisp (thank you Mitzi for the recipe!) and ice cream, complete with caramel sauce. His family got him a few gifts, including a drone. Thank you Jon! I have tried twice now to buy him a drone for a gift and I am just not nerdy enough to understand all the parts that are needed so both times have been a waste of money. So now Justin gets to play with his new drone. Emmett HATES it! He screams mad fury when it starts flying.

I took Emmett to the park to play today before the rain came in. We have had a glorious fall! He is so brave/adventurous. He came down the big-kid slide face forward today! He normally comes down backwards...so he's getting more daring. He continues to climb all over - now he can reach the top of the piano, and he climbed on top of the dresser with the TV the other day! He is so fun.

And we are so excited to add another BOY to the mix in March! Justin and I ran the Halloween party for the ward for the 3rd time in a row and I am declaring the LAST time! But we did our best to make it a party for all. My costume was a gender reveal which didn't get a decent picture, but it revealed our baby BOY's gender. I am so excited for Emmett to have a little brother. I am 24 weeks along so we are cruising right through this pregnancy.

It snowed on Sunday - and was actually cold enough to stick. Emmett enjoyed the snowflakes

He luuuurves blueberries

Check out that sunrise: this is Justin's view at work.
