It's pumpkin carving time!

Check out these mad skills!

Can you guess who carved the two angry pumpkins? 

Your choices are;

a. the two pregnant ladies

b. their husbands

If you guessed "b", you're right.  Maybe they're trying to tell us something...

Also, thank you so much to Joe's wonderful grandma for growing us some great pumpkins!  Muah!

Tis the Season!

No, not Christmas, it’s still fall which means it’s PUMPKIN PATCH time! Who doesn’t LOVE this time of year?

Last weekend Joe’s brother Matt, along with his family, and sister Jenny came over to Menomonie for the baby shower and we couldn’t send them home without a trip to the Pleasant Valley Tree Farm. Unfortunately, we were a little late for the fall colors but it was still a gorgeous day outside. We spent the afternoon on the Spooky Ridge Trail, going down the 80 foot Spooktacular slide, losing Bradin in the corn maze, watching the Jack-o-launcher, jumping in the bounce houses, playing on the straw stack play areas and ending the afternoon with a hayride (even though there wasn’t any hay on the wagon - lucky for me!)

All in all, it was a fantastic afternoon!

We weren't on this actual hayride but you get the point!

Baby Shower for Baby Bjelland!

Last weekend my mom and sisters threw me and our little one a baby shower! It was such a beautiful day and to top it off I got to enjoy spending a few hours with all of my friends and family. I’m sure they had a great time seeing how big I have gotten too! We played a few games, opened the lovely presents from everyone, had a delicious lunch and before I knew it, the shower was over.

Joe, Baby B and I received so many nice gifts in which we spent most of the week putting away or assembling and now it’s just a waiting game for when I can start using them. My excitement for this little one to arrive is more than I can put into words; the reality has now begun to sink in! These last 7 weeks are going to creep by…

Here's a few pictures from the shower!

Labor Day weekend

I know it's been quite some time since I have updated our blog so here's a quick recap of our camping trip last Labor Day weekend.  Most of you know that I'm not much of a summer person but one thing I do love is the camping!  This isn't really what most people would consider "camping" but we sure do know how to make it fun!

A few pics of the family playing Tippy Cup...

A few relay games are never out of the question...

Next year could be very interesting with our little one running around, and I promise to take more pictures!
