Pics of the kids

The kids went and had some pics done at Sears. I took Madison one night, Tanner the next and just bought the cheap package, then the following night we took both kids together. I couldn't pick just one pose, so I bought a few of them! Hope you enjoy, the kids did really well, and I think they turned out great!!
















Christmas Cards?







What a week

Well thought I would get you caught up on what we have been up to lately.

I went to the doctor last week for my normal check-up, & Madison was able to go with me, she was excited! I have lost 5 lbs in the last month, but that is what I did when I was pregnant with Tanner, so they weren't too concerned. I have been feeling nauseous a lot lately, and it usually lasts a few days at a time, I'm hoping that I get over it soon. I would also like to have motivation again, by the time the kids leave at night...I'm tired and don't feel like doing much! Also at my appt. we got to hear the heart beat for the first time, it was 150, makes it seem more real when you hear the heartbeat! I go again the 14th of December, so I will update again after that appointment.

On Tuesday, Maddy had to make a quick trip to the doctor. She has had a cold for awhile and it seems like when she gets a cold, she gets an ear infection. She does indeed have a double ear infection. She doesn't like the meds they put her on, but she takes them so she can get feeling better!

We have also been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving/Christmas. Thanksgiving was yesterday, and we had a great day with our families! We spent the early afternoon with Chad's side of the family and our brother-in-laws family. It was a good time with lots of yummy food...I probably gained back the 5lbs I lost last month with all the food we ate yesterday! After we ate and visited for a bit, we headed to my parent's house. We didn't eat much, but I did snack on some ham and the kids and Chad enjoyed some pumpkin pie. We had fun playing Wii, and then there was a card game going for awhile. My Grandparent's and my Aunt also came out, it was a nice time spent with the important people in our lives!

Today is Black Friday! And you know I was one of the crazy people out shopping! I picked up Rose (Chad's mom) at 3:15 am, and we headed to Kohl's. I got a few things, and then had to wait in line for an hour and a half!!! Wow not sure the deals I got were worth it, but oh well! We then headed to Wal-Mart. I was hoping to get my hands on a laptop for Chad and I, our desktop has been acting up and since we moved the computer upstairs we don't use it much. We got there at 5 am when their electronics sale started, but there were no computers left! I was bummed, but I asked a younger kid working and he walked towards a manager and asked him, & I followed & the manager happened to have one in his hands, it was the last one and another customer didn't want it. I said I'll take it!! Wasn't sure if it was what I wanted or even how much it was, but I took it so Rose and I could look at it. I ended up buying it and we love it!! We finished at Wal-Mart, then continued our rounds around town. It was a successful day, but I still have more shopping to do. Our kids are mostly done, just need to find Mads some clothes and stocking stuffers. I am hoping maybe I can do some shopping here and there, but it feels good to have some stuff bought! We were done around 11:30 ish, and I was so tired when I got home. I think I might have had 2 hrs of sleep, so I was glad to take a nap this afternoon, but my hands are swollen some and I hurt all over! Thanks to Rose for going with me today, and a big thanks to Alexa for watching the kids till Chad got home!

Tomorrow is also going to be a busy day! I am hoping to go help decorate the dance studios float for the parade if we can get moving in the morning! Then we also need to go to the grocery store and I am hoping to relax for a few hours and maybe do some cleaning! The parade is at 5 tomorrow, then we might go bowling!

Sunday~ Chad's bday....he will be the big 3-0!! I'm not sure if he is hunting in the morning, but I want to be able to relax, then we are going out for a family dinner! The rest of the weekend is going to be a busy one, but it will be fun! I have a feeling December is going to be a BUSY month and it's going to go quick!!

Well until next time....

Pumpkin Carving










Maddy wanted to carve the small pumpkin that we bought at Fareway, we had the big pumpkin that we got at the pumpkin patch, but I didn't want to deal with that mess! So one night after Chad got home from work, we went to work on our pumpkin. Madison dug right in....Tanner on the other hand wanted nothing to do with it!! So in the end Maddy and I cleaned out the inside and Chad carved a face onto the pumpkin, we didn't do anything fancy this year, and I just realized I never took a picture of the finished product. Oh well maybe next year!!

Mads wasn't scared!!

Chad helping T put his hand in the pumpkin.....

T wasn't so impressed! Showing me his messy hands!!

Kathy's Pumpkin Patch


We went to Kathy's Pumpkin Patch on Saturday October 16th. Chad was working, so Tiffany, Brenda, and Cammie went with us. We got there about 2:30 ish and we didn't get home till 7ish. It was a long fun day!
When we got there, the kids got to make baby scarecrows. I had to help Tanner stuff his, he didn't like how the straw felt, but Maddy did hers herself. They turned out cute and we put them on our patio furniture on the front porch for everyone to see.


Tanner loved his baby scarecrow!!



Maddy's scarecrow!


After making scarecrows, the kids and Tiffany, played in the corn. Tiffany dumped it on each of the kids, the girls loved it, but Tanner kept trying to block himself! Maddy tried to get her back, but the bucket of corn was too heavy for her to pick up! The kids also enjoyed going down the big slide and playing on the big rolls of hay.
Heading into the corn!


Tanner loved playing with the trucks!

Tiffany with Cameron.


We went on a tractor ride to the pick your own pumpkin patch, but we only found 1 pumpkin that we bought. All the pumpkins seemed to have bad spots or they were rotted. But since Chad wasn't there I had to carry the pumpkin, so I'm kinda glad we only got the one!! We had lots of rain, so they didn't have as many pumpkins as the last time we were there.

We then meet up with one of my daycare families who where there for a girl scout trip, and the kids got to roast hot dogs and make smores. Thanks Lisa...we were all starving!! After eating we picked out a few small pumpkins and gourds to display around the house, then I tried to take a few pics of the kids. We had a great time and hopefully next year Chad will be able to go with us!!

Tanner and his friend, Blake.

It's My Party!!

Madison celebrated her 5th birthday on October 5th!


On her birthday we let her open gifts at home and then took her to her favorite restaurant, Carlos O'Kelly's, for dinner. Daddy sent her flowers on her special day, she also got to take a birthday snack to school and was the leader for the day! She had a great birthday..hard to believe she is 5!!


We had a family/friend BBQ/birthday party that weekend. The weather was beautiful....kinda on the warm side, but a great day for an outdoor party! She had a great turn-out of our family and friends.

Last update....

Well this will be the last update for the day & then you will know everything that has been going on with the Klein family, plus I have only a few minutes left before I have to be at the dance studio for a parade meeting!

The Klein family is growing!!

Tanner is going to be a BIG brother!! The kids are sooooo excited!!! So are Chad and I!!!!

I have had a few doctor appointments already and at my last one we had an ultrasound. Chad and I were able to see the baby, the heartbeat was 154. I still need to look and see what Maddy and Tanner's heartbeats were. I am almost 13 wks now, my due date if May 11th, and for the most part feeling good. I am usually tired by the end of the day, and most nights in bed by 10, but hoping to be over that soon enough!!

I have another appt scheduled in 2 weeks. At my last appt, I saw Dr. Marshall who delivered Madison and I used to watch her stepkids. We asked her when they might deliver the baby since it will be a scheduled C-section, & it should be around May 6th. They should also do another ultrasound around 20 wks, which is a good thing, since we really need to learn the sex of the baby, since we have no baby clothes!

Well I better go, but I will try to update after my next appointment!

Happy Halloween

Ok so Halloween was almost a week ago, but better late than never!! For Halloween, Maddy was a black and purple butterfly and Tanner was Handy Manny. We made the rounds with Alexa, Zach, Katelyn, & Ethan. We meet Aunt Leah, Uncle Matt, and Grandma Rose at the mall, then went & made quick visits to different family members and then hit the streets for a few blocks. It was cold and the kids got too much candy, but they had fun!! We finished the night with pizza at Mazzio's. I don't think that being outside helped T's cold that he had, he has had a really runny nose all week! The kids have only had a few peices of their candy, they don't ask for any, and I don't offer it to them either. It will probably find it's way to the guys that Chad works with soon enough!! Enjoy the pics of the kids!!
