Halloween Fun, The Cutest Cheerleader Ever and Stubborn Baby?

These first pics are Halloween night- we had a great time, but this year was a little different...the Trunk or Treat that we do at the church every year got postponed because of the fires and switched to another day. We had football and cheer the night it was rescheduled, so no one but Amber got to go. I usually use up all my candy there and then give out anything the kids collected that they don't like on the acutal night of Halloween. Since we didn't go, I have one and a half bags of candy left! Ahhhh! We'll be eating it forever. It was a also a bit different for us because Amber went to a birthday party where they Trick-or- Treated, so she didn't come with us! My girl is growing up too fast! We did go out with the Hall family (pic above) and had great fun, even though the older boys wanted to run as fast as they could from house to house!

Benjamin as Peter Pan



Amber was a baby- thank goodness she wasn't that large at delivery! Marin was a pop star, Ben was Peter Pan, and Justin was a lacrosse player. When he passed out candy at Grandma and Papa's house there were multiple people who asked if he played lacrosse at Irvine High! He's big, but not that big yet!


Justin and Marin with thtier proud Daddy after Justin's first play-off game this weekend. They won 40-0. Justin had a great defensive game. He was actually voted to represent Irvine at the All Conference game again this year. Since he is one of the youngest players on the team, we didn't think he would be chosen, but he was as a linebacker. The game will be Dec. 8th.

Here is the cutest cheerleader ever- she is so fun to watch at the games. She is the youngest on her squad, but definetely not the shortest. I get the biggest kick out of watching her.

This is their night/competition uniform. Bummer the pic didn't turn out better.


Ok- on to the stubborn baby...Check up for week 36 was today and the baby is still breech. Not only breech, but breech with just one foot down! The doctor and I decided to wait one more week and if it has not turned, then he will take me over to the hospital and they will try to turn it. That invloves giving me a shot to relieve pain and to make my uterus relax, then trying to push my stomach so that the baby will turn. There are a few ways to do it. I am rather stressed about the whole thing, but a mom at football tonight said she had it done and it worked really well and the baby was delivered without any problem a week or two later. If it does not work, or if my water breaks before then, then I will have to have a C-section- which I really don't want to do since the recovery is longer. Pray extra for me that it will just turn itself and be more cooperative! I hope this baby isn't as stubborn as Justin was (and still is sometimes!). I was hoping I'd be early because I can hardly sleep anymore and I'm so uncomfortable, but now I'm nervous and want to wait a bit longer so the baby can right itself.

Anyway, there is the Miller update!
