We even had a cute donut crafting station where the kiddos could decorate a sweet treat. From pink and blue frosting to lots of fun sprinkles, these kiddos surely loved decorating their donuts.

Fall Festivities 2015

From our ABF Arboretum excursion to see the Pumpkin Village to our Patch on the Prairie with Oma, our fall family fun, and Trick-or-treating on Halloween with our friends, we have had an exciting amount of fall festive fun this year. Enjoy a picture post of our fall festivities.

Pumpkin Village at the Arboretum with our ABF

We love our fall family fun with our ABF friends. On Saturday, October 17th we met our sweet ABF friends for a day of pumpkins and festive fall fun.

What a perfect and exciting afternoon of pumpkins and pals at the Arboretum.

Patch on the Prairie with Oma

On Sunday, October 18th we were gifted with a small visit from Oma and Opa as they had attended my father's 50th high school reunion that weekend only a few hours away. We took advantage of our Sunday evening after Aubrey's naptime by taking Oma and our little family to the Patch on the Prairie.

This Fall gave us many opportunities for costume parties and play. We were able to celebrate sweet Clara's 2nd birthday- a costume party.

 Aubrey went as the beautiful Snow White.

We surely loved celebrating Clara's 2nd birthday and costume party. There were some adorable sightings from Princess Ariel, Cinderella, a pretty peacock, an astronaut, and our sweet Snow White. 

 

 

On Wednesday, we met up with our ABF for a night of dinner fellowship, a costume photo opt, and play date with our littles. 

As Halloween quickly approached, our little family enjoyed fall festive fun including pumpkin carving, dressing our pumpkin with twissler hair, triangular eyes and nose, and marshmellow teeth. And while we may look interested and excited about touching the "inner workings" of the pumpkin, as soon as Auby had a seed on her, she was all done. But the pumpkin's redeeming qualities were the strips of candy hair and triangle eyes.

Sully brought his little Boo to his work costume contest. Let's just say with the help of a toddler and a grown man in a full Monsters Inc costume, they blew the competition out of the water. They took home 1st Prize!

Happy Fall Festivities 2015. To see our Little Moster of a Halloween, be sure to keep posted! More to come soon!

Baby Bump #2: Bump'n Love Weeks 15-19

Sweet Liam,
Each week I'm love'n this baby bump even more. I adore watching you grow. I cannot believe how quickly this pregnancy is passing me by. While it has been filled with a lot of sickness and exhaustion, I am so thankful for what it means. It means that you are safe and wrapped in this precious tummy for another 20 weeks. God has such a beautiful plan for our little family and I'm so thankful for all that will be. So bring on the bow ties, suspenders, derbies, and more. our little boy will make us a family of four. We are so excited to welcome Liam Owen Zellner due March 28th, 2016.

{Week 15}

{Week 16}

{Week 17}

{Week 18}

Our reveal to the media world. We are loving our little Liam.

{Week 19}

Number of weeks: 19 Weeks and 147  days to go

Measurement: This belly is getting big with each and every day that passes. Liam is measuring right on track per our 16 week appointment.
Baby Size: According to my pregnancy app, you are as big as an heirloom tomato. Your sensory development is exploding. Your brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch.
Heartbeat: Heart beat at 16 weeks was 179. Our next appointment is next week at 20 weeks.
Pregnancy Clothes: I have been attempting to stretch out several pieces of clothing absolutely due to laziness and lack of shopping at this point. My previous pregnancy clothes are the wrong season, but I am currently making due.  I have a maternity shopping trip planned in a few days.
Sleep: Sleep has been pretty questionable lately. Having a toddler that's struggling sleeping as well as going to the bathroom 2 and 3 times a night has made this baby mama pretty exhausted most days. I don't remember having to go to the bathroom this much this early in the pregnancy. I'm also a little more uncomfortable when I sleep these days. I can still technically sleep on my tummy and back, but Liam is not a fan. He definitely gives mama some kicks to remind me to turn over.
Most Memorable Moment: Over the past few weeks it has been amazing to feel Liam rock and roll in my belly. I'm loving thinking about his sweet little self and all the new adventures his addition will bring to our family. My most memorable moment this week was Halloween and our family costume. While he is still baking up for another 20 weeks, he did help make my costume a bit better.

{Bump'n at almost 18 weeks}

Moving and Grooving: I absolutely love feeling your little kicks. I've honestly felt you kick for quite some time now. I can't wait for your daddy to join in on the fun.
Cravings: not anything in particular. I would really love a margarita!
How I feel: Each day I'm feeling a bit better. Some days I still find myself feeling as though I'm going to faint or get sick, but overall it is a huge change from the first 14 weeks. Having a toddler is an additional change this go round. I'm a bit more exhausted, naps are questionable but doable thanks to the husband, but I am having lots of mama guilt as all I want to do is spend time with my loves. Making a baby is a hard job but so worth every moment. I'm so excited about our new adventures. 
Gender Predictions: We will be welcoming baby Liam Owen Zellner at the end of March 2016.
What I Miss: I would previously say energy and my love for food, but now I'm really not missing a thing
What I look forward to: I am continually looking forward to watching Liam grow. I cannot wait to see our sweet son at our sono next week.
