Gender Announcement!!!

We made our announcement at the Halloween Party a few weeks ago.  Since most, if not all of you know, that the baby is a boy, I wanted to show off my cool collage that I made with the assistance of Tori's pictures.  Also the name of the baby is Jacob Matthew Wood.  We got the name Jacob from my mom's side of the family (her maiden name) and Matthew is after Mike's brother (cause he is so wonderful). Oh and I passed my blood glucose testing!! YAY for no diabetes!! Anyways just a little happy blog to help get you through your day!

A Frightfully Fun Party...

I realize hat it is now almost mid November and I am still talking about Halloween.  Well for two reasons... it is my favorite holiday, so I have a hard time letting go of the month of October and I have been laid up on my couch for the last week with the worst sickness ever.  Its official, being pregnant and sick is the WORST combination in the world... its like traveling back to the 1500's when modern medicine did not exist.  Anyways back to Halloween.  We had our annual Halloween party at Debbi and Dayton's house this year.  It was an extra special year because we were making the announcement of what the sex of baby Kirby was... and placing a bunch of bets.  I think this year we actually out did ourselves on decorating.  Dayton had the week before the party off, so he was able to get his creative juices going and make so really cool projects.  I deem the party a complete success!! We had a lot of people there and everyone seem to enjoy themselves.  Here are some pictures from that night...

Even Melodie made an appearance in her lobster costume!! She was so cute!!

 And of course Mama Gabby looked adorable as Sponge Bob

I think most creative costume of the night goes to Matt and Kimmy- the Hamburglar and the hamburger!! And Kimmy made both costumes which makes it even more impressive!!

Funniest costume would have to go the Sam and Tyler as the "Wet T-shirt" contest.  Very creative and impressive that they stayed connected as long as they did. Oh and there is Tori in her devil costume (Jaybee was an angel)... They decided to switch personas for the night.

And yes Tyler and Sara came down!!! Ironic that they were steak and eggs considering how specialized eaters they are... but I am sure Sara was a free range egg and Tyler killed that piece of meat himself. I am so glad they came down!!

Here is the gang... Debbi was Abby from NCIS and Dayton was a creepy Dumbledore!! I think Dayton had the most fun scaring everyone in his costume!!

And of course last but not least the goofy Shadd family.  I think my dad won most shocking/obscene costume.  He was a crack baby!! LOL!! Complete with authentic (but not used) crack pipe from Hayward.  Every year he out does himself!!

Mike and I were Juno.  Fairly easy costume to do while pregnant... so it worked out well!
