Four months
Well it seems silly to post four month old pictures of Jacob when I have never even posted newborn pictures...but I am going to do it anyway! Jacob turned four months old yesterday, May 2nd. He is growing up so fast!

Thanksgiving
John and I went to California for Thanksgiving and we were able to see both of our families while we were there. I headed out a few days before John since he was still in school. While I was there Danielle and Stephanie threw me a baby shower! It was fun and I now feel fully prepared for our baby to come, which is a good thing since he comes in four weeks! Thanks Steph and Danielle, and of course Terilyn and Dana for hosting it at their house!
When John flew out, after his classes ended, we went up to Walnut Creek to see his family! We went to a car show in San Francisco, the De Young Museum, and played lots of fun games. We also went to Fentons, which if you've seen the movie "Up" then you would recognize Fentons as the ice cream place where the old man and the young boy get ice cream at the very end of the movie. The ice cream was so good and HUGE; John and I shared an ice cream sundae and we couldn't finish it. That tells you how big it was especially if you know how much I love ice cream!
Thanksgiving day was spent in Saratoga with my family. John played in the yearly "Turkey Bowl" and then we went to my grandparents' house for dinner.

That night we went to "Tangled", which I would recommend. It was a cute movie. We had such a fun trip! We always love being home and seeing our families. We can't wait until we see everyone again (which happily is in two weeks for my cousin's wedding)!!!

Halloween!
These were our Halloween costumes. We got the idea from my cousin's wife and then found some stencils on a blog. We had fun making the shirts!
Ashley, my sister, was Simon from Alvin and the Chipmunks (Alvin-Andrea and Theodore-Allison).
Side shot at 30 weeks! So far I have been counting up the weeks, but I think from this week on the count-down begins. Less than 10 weeks to go!
It was a fun Halloween!

30 on the 30th!
Today I am officially 30 weeks on the 30th of October. Time is flying by and I cannot believe I only have 10 weeks left to go until the little babes comes. We are so excited! In fact, we are so excited we have included him in our Halloween costumes for tonight (picture to come later).
Tonight is our ward Halloween party and originally John wanted to be Brian Wilson, the pitcher from the Giants, by wearing a baseball hat, jersey, and of course the famous beard. I ended up buying a beard the other day since I was in the mall and saw a Halloween store. Don't know why...but I paid 12 bucks for this Abraham Lincoln beard that I thought would pass for a similar beard Wilson has.
Yesterday John and I went to five or so sports/hat stores since John doesn't own a Giants hat. We could not find ONE hat that was his size...and some of the stores were completely sold out of Giants hats! Should I be surprised though considering we are the best baseball team in the country at the moment? We came home unsuccessful, even after asking several people if they had a Giants hat we could borrow. No one did. So with no hat and no jersey we decided John needed a new costume. The problem was that I had bought this useless beard which I noticed when I got home that the receipt said non-returnable.
Great! The store had never told me I wouldn't be able to return the $12 beard, but I told John I wanted to go back to the store and at least play dumb and try to return it. We went to the store late last night and after talking to the "manager" I made a deal with him. I told him there is no way I will ever use the beard and we agreed that I could trade the beard for something else in the store.
So the beard that was completely useless to us at this point somehow became one of the best things in the store. After walking back and forth through the store for half an hour we concluded there wasn't ONE thing in the ENTIRE store we wanted. Haha, it was hilarious to think we couldn't find one single item that we would rather have than the beard. In the end, we decided we had to get rid of the beard regardless of how hard it was to find something else and we finally walked out with a pumpkin bucket to put candy in and two "Winner" olympic medals that we thought maybe some day we can use for some primary activity, birthday party, or something...
It's funny how something so small can become such an ordeal. We concluded that the beard brought bad luck since the second I got home the other day after buying it, I broke one of our cups, and since then John stepped on a piece of glass from the cup. Also, John's football and my hair brush have mysteriously disappeared out of our car, our car breaks have started smelling bad, and we saw a couple of car accidents.
We are glad to have that thing out of our house, and now John has a better costume for tonight. We'll post pictures of Halloween later!

October
It's the start of a new month! I love the month of October and I am especially looking forward to cooler weather. We were hit with a huge rain storm today which was a good change from the 90 degree weather!
Things happening as of late:
Last week John and I went up the BYU bell tower since our home teacher is the organist that plays on Tuesdays after devotionals. It took us awhile to climb the 100-step, spiral staircase to the top. It was fun to see how the organ is attached to the bells and we watched our home teacher play a few songs.
The view from inside the tower.
You can see the pegs that he has to pound with his fists in order to rings the bells.
Some of the bells are too heavy and large to pound the pegs with his fist, so instead there are pegs at his feet that he presses on to sound the larger bells.
Other exciting things: I am officially 26 weeks pregnant! Only 14 weeks to go! I also started substitute teaching last week and have come home every day feeling productive yet exhausted. Today I substituted for a half day which was the perfect amount of time in my opinion. General Conference was this past weekend and we had Cory, Christian, Ashley, and Spencer over to watch as well as eat dinner. It was fun to spend time with them, watch conference, and play speed scrabble (which is one of my new favorite games-for some reason I love any game that has to do with words...scramble, boggle, etc.).
October has just started and it's already been a fun month! Can't wait for the rest of the month!

My Parking Spot
If you haven't heard the news or haven't seen me lately, then this picture will definitely let you know that I am expecting! I am having a baby boy in January! John and I are so excited for the baby and we can't wait until he is here with us. When we go to baby stores we take advantage of the parking spot reserved just for me. The "Expectant Mothers" spot! This was outside Babies "R" Us.
Besides getting ready for the baby, John and I have been keeping busy. John started the business program and he loves his classes. We moved into our new apartment and have been warmly welcomed into our new ward which we love. We've met a lot of new people and had the opportunity to go to three ward/stake activities this past weekend. Friday night we went to a dinner party at our bishop's house in Highland, and Saturday we went to two stake parties (a lunch picnic and a catered Chinese dinner). So far September has been a fun month!
