Student of the Month

Wesley was chosen as Student of the Month for the month of November. You usually receive this award because you have have good attendance, good work habits, being kind to others, and homework is always turned in. This was Wesley's last award assembly since he will be attending a new school after the Thanksgiving holiday. Nice job Wes, we are so proud of you.

Maternity and Family Photo Shoot

My friend Stephanie and her friend came over to the house and took maternity/family pictures. They did an awesome job!! Here are a few from the photoshoot.

Third Grade!!

Here is Wesley's 3rd grade picture. I can't believe how fast time has flown by. Wesley is doing really well in school. He is reading above his grade level, loves math, is learning square dancing, and loves recess. Currently he is attending Merced, but in the middle of November he will be changing schools. We just moved and have made the decision to have him change schools and attend the school in our area. It was a tough decision. It's going to be a big change for Wes and I. He and I have been going to school together for a little over 3 years. I will miss having my little guy at school with me. I know he will do well at his new school and his best friend Caleb will be there to show him around. He is not so little anymore.

Pumpkin Patch Time!!

Today we headed to the pumpkin patch at Tanaka Farms. We visited Tanaka Farm last April and decided that during Halloween we would return. We went with our friends Jill and Jose and their daughter Abbie. The weather was beautiful, sunny and in the low 70's. The weather was better than at home. They had many activities for the families and children. They had a BIG wagon ride, games, a corn maze, face painting, a petting zoo, a small maze where children could ride a small quad around a maze, and of course picking your perfect pumpkin.
More pictures to be posted, but my darn computer isn't cooperating.

Our New Home!!!

I can't wait to move into our new home. Hopefully it will be this weekend, but as you know things don't always go as planned.

It's a Girl!!!

Today we went to one of those 3D ultrasound places. I could not wait one more month to find out what we were having. It's a girl and we are naming her Emmalyn Elaine.

Baby Hamilton

Today Paul and I had our very first doctors appointment with Dr. Williams. We were both anxious, nervous, and excited. We wait quiet a bit, but it was worth the wait. Dr. Williams was super nice. He made us feel right at ease with everything. Here is a first look at Baby Hamilton.


It was truly amazing to see this image. It brought tears to our eyes. The heart beat was so fast and Paul swears it's a boy. We will have to wait and see. Wesley did not go to this appointment just because I knew I was probably going to have to get all checked out, but when I got home and and showed him the pictures he said, "Can I have one to put on my shelf near my bed". He is going to be such a good big brother. We are all in love with this little baby already.
