Nick and I celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary in September so we decided to go away for the weekend. We went to Calgary for the weekend and we barely left the hotel but not for the reason that you are thinking. I basically spent the entire weekend puking it was awful but it was so nice to spend time alone with Nick. Dex went and stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Chipman in Magrath and had a blast!! But he was happy to see us when the weekend was over. I have such an amazing husband and I love him so much!! The past 3 years have flown by and I feel so blessed to have him in my life. He is such a great husband and father!!
I had my 24th birthday on the 3rd of October and I feel like I turned 34!! This whole being pregnant and being a mom thing makes you feel way older than you really are. Anyways I had an awesome day!! Nick and Dex got me flowers and a gift certificate to Thyme Maternity and then took me out to Red Robin's with some of my closest friends. I always love getting together with Erin & Tyler and Jen & Josh!! And Dex had so much fun hanging out with Quinn!!
Thanksgiving weekend my dad came up to Edmonton to visit and to come pick Dex and I up. We had a great weekend. We went out to Wetaskiwin on Saturday and spent the day with Nick's family!! It is always so much fun when we all get together!! Dex loves playing with his cousins!! And his mommy and daddy love that there are other people to chase him around for awhile!! We spent sunday just hanging out and we made a roast chicken dinner. On Monday Nick went off to work and Dex and I headed down to Magrath with my dad. My mom waited for us to have Thanksgiving dinner and we had an amazing meal ready and waiting for us when we got home. It was so nice to be surrounded by so much family. I have truly been so blessed and had so many things to be grateful for!!
On the 15th of October my little sister got married and she was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen!! Her groom didn't look to bad either but I am so proud of her and love her so much!! It was such an amazing day and all the hard work of decorating paid off!! The decorations were beautiful!! I was so glad I got to spend a week at home with my family!!

On a sadder note someone very close to our family was killed in a horrible accident. My little sisters best friend Danae was killed on saturday night in a car accident. She is like a sister to us and was such a sweet and kind girl!! I hate that such horrible things have to happen to such good people. She was such a beautiful young woman and will be grately missed!! I will miss you Nae Nae and love you so much!!
Now I think I need to end this post on a positive note so I will give you a Dexter update!! Dexter is 20 months old and acts like he is 2 already!! He is so busy and definately keeps Nick and I on our toes. He loves playing with his toy trucks and blocks. He always loves to color and mommy finally caved and bought him the colorless markers because he was coloring on everything!! Also he is going through a fun stage of always taking off his clothes!! He will strip right down on pee on the floor!! It is driving me crazy so the potty training has begun!! (wish me luck...) He is so cute and it is so much fun to watch him learn new things. He is learning new words everyday and I am sure in no time will be talking my ear off. He can count to 2 now and Nick and I think it is the cutest thing ever!! Also he got to hear his baby brother or sister's heartbeat today and really has no clue what's about to happen... Let's just hope his love for babies sticks...Anyways hear are a few pics of our little man.
This is how I find him most days!! Butt Naked!!
His new love!! Maccoroni and Cheese!!
He found his soother a few weeks ago.. He hasn't used one since he was 4 months old but I find him chewing on it all the time... I better throw it away lol!!
