"Happy Hawwoween!"

Priddy Farms Pumpkin Patch

This year to get ready for Halloween we had a family outing to the Priddy Farms Pumpkin Patch. There, we rode a hay ride, picked our own pumpkins from the pumpkin patch, and played at the playground. We had so much fun that we decided to make it a yearly tradition!

Headed to the hay ride...

Getting ready to head out to the pumpkin patch...

Jacob was so excited and happy to be there!

Reece riding along...

Lane could barely contain his excitement...

Jacob's loot...

...and Lane's!

Momma and "Baby Wane"...

If you're wondering why we don't take more pictures of our 3 angels together...

Jacob is (barely) holding on to Lane, Lane seems to be falling (but I promise he's not!), and Reece is crying because she wants to be the one to hold Lane. Memories.

Picture Perfect

We had Jen Howell come out to the house to take some newborn pictures of Lane last weekend. Here is a sneak peek of her work.

She spent a lot of time with us and showed much patience with all 3 of our (crazy!) kids. When she left I was convinced that she wasn't able to get any good shots...and then I saw this! I can't wait to see the rest!

Pretty perfect, isn't he?! :)

It's a....BOY!

Well, we did it again. And we done good! October 3 we welcomed our little tie breaker into the family. Lane Powell arrived weighing in at 7 lb. 14 oz. and measuring a whopping 21 in. long.

The c-section went very well. We were wheeled into the operating room at 7:47am and Lane was born at 8:05am. When the doctor saw how big Lane was, she made the comment, "Where do you hide these babies?!" She confirmed to everyone that I wasn't lying when I complained about how much Lane's movements hurt! 

Jason and I both felt that this baby would be a boy. On the way to the hospital, I got girl vibes. My doctor and her assistant both guessed girl as well. When we heard the words, "It's a boy!" we were both so thrilled. It's very different to go into a delivery not knowing if you're going to leave with a son or daughter.

Lane has already brought so much joy to our family. Saying that Jacob and Reece love him is a major understatement. When they first walked into the hospital room to meet him, they were giddy with excitement.

Here are some pictures of the big day.

Here are the proud big brother and big sister getting ready to go to the hospital.

Mommy and baby did great!

The proud big brother! Looks like we found a cure for his cameraphobia! :)

Reece's turn to hold "Baby Lane", with Jacob's supervision of course.

Our first family photo!

Jacob crawled into my bed and said, "Don't worry Momma, I keep you safe and make you feel all better." So sweet!

Our sweet baby!

Hopefully I can steal a few minutes later to share some more pictures!
