Its been too long... August-October

So I haven't blogged since the end of July.  Whoops.  Maybe this blog thing is more work than I'm ready for.  Also, we found out we're expecting Baby #2 beginning of June 2012 so from September until now has been full of sickness, trying to nap and trying every remedy ever documented to stop the nausea.  I'm at the 12 week mark and whoever said you get feeling better lied.  I don't feel better.  And there are a lot of parties with a lot of smells that aren't working.  But, last week we got to hear the baby's heartbeat which is exciting.  In 7 weeks we find out the gender and see him/her on an ultrasound.  This baby will be another cesarean birth since Mason was, unless I do a home birth.  Which I've researched a little and gone to some classes and while I think it is great option for a lot of people I just haven't "felt" like I should do it yet.  So maybe it'll change as we progress in this pregnancy.  I have a new doctor who I really like, such as most doctors push all those invasive prenatal tests, this doc is a little older and basically said "look, you're young, you don't need them but if you really want I'll order them."  I was kind of shocked at his candidness with testing as I always feel doctors are trying to scan you for too many tests.  Mason  and this baby will be 3 years apart which I think is a good gap, some people think its too far apart, but my siblings and I were 3 years apart or more, Chuck and his sister were 5 years apart so we'll manage.  I don't know what its like to have a sibling a year or even 2 years younger or older.  Anyway, now I won't blog forever again because of trying to Christmas shop for everyone and make it through the holidays!  But here are some pictures from August through October.

 At Uncle Carson's 21st birthday (after work swim party).  Mason loves him and loves jumping.
 Teaching Mason how to make funny noises in the pool noodle, I love Mason's face.
 Trying to blow out (or spitting) the candles on Carson's ice cream cake
 We got a year pass to the Shark Reef so we have been going often, this is in front of the Komodo Dragon.
 Mason getting a better view of the fish and other animals.
 Waiting for a Sting Ray to swim by to pet it.
 One night Mason insisted on wearing "dada's shirt" to bed.
 While I went to a wedding, Chuck, Mason and Papa Perry went to a UNLV Football Game!
 At a carnival near our house, riding the rides, he had a blast.
 Giving his shark he won to Papa Perry to hold on to.
 Hitching a ride around the carnival.
This Silly Boy got in the cat house and posed for a picture. 

 At a pumpkin patch, Mason and his "Meemo" aka Grandma.
 Not too sure about the goats, but liked the bunnies and chickens with the funny hair.
 Wee! Mason went here twice, once with a church group and once on Nevada Day with us.
 Chuck was having the time of his life, he got sick from spinning so much, Mason liked it.
 A family picture... Mason was more interested in climbing.
 This wasn't the best idea, shortly after he fell down (rolled) the three bales of hay and landed on a pumpkin.
 Mason picking out one with warts and saying "eww".
 Getting ready for Trunk or Treating.  Mason had as much fun passing out candy as collecting it.
 Mason was a shark (thank you Pinterest for the $5 costume idea!) and Chuck was the shark attack victim.
The back of his costume, a hoodie from a thrift store, some felt and a target bag stuffed in the fin to make it stand up.  He already had grey pants and shoes.
