So it's the start of our favorite season, no not the Holiday season, Basketball season! Lutheran West played rival Fairview for the season opener and I am happy to report that all three teams won! Chris & James both played very VERY well. This past Friday Kirk and I had to miss the game for my company Christmas party but thought it was worth noting that James scored 24 points! HOLY COW! I can't wait to watch the rest of what should be a very exciting season!

Oh no Kirk has turned the big 3-0! Haha we had a great time celebrating Kirk's 30th Birthday. Thanks to every one for joining us!
See how much Kirk loved his cake?
A close up of that stunning cake!
Every one having a great time.
Mmmmm look at all those yummy appetizers.
Thank goodness for my Mom's, being pregnant and throwing a party don't go hand in hand. The Mom's did most of the cooking!

So Kirk and I found out this weekend that we are pregnant. Needless to say we are overjoyed! We are 4 weeks pregnant today. We got our first positive test on Friday and I took another one Saturday and another today, I just couldn't believe it!!! So after we knew for sure today we decided to tell everyone else. My Mom of course knew on Saturday because I just couldn't hold it in!! Below is the positive test from today and some footage we got of us telling Kirk's Papa and then the boys. Little baby Mueller is due 7-25-2010. Obviously since we aren't so childless any more we will be taking suggestions for a new blog name.

This year Halloween was very fun, since Josh was a little less than crazy about going trick-or-treating because in his words "it's kind of childish". SO to show him it could still be fun James, Chris, and I dressed up & went with him. We had an absolute blast! I managed to get the crap scared out of me at one of the houses by the most obvious ghost person ever... Here are some pictures from all our fun!
The trick-or-treaters...
The Family
Totally wiped out...
Kitty & Doggy were wiped out too...
Yeah that's right, I am not too grown up to run & scream like a little girl.

Our trip to Hale Farm for Mom's birthday was completely awesome! We all had such a great time, and it was the perfect activity to get everyone ready for Fall. We got to see some really interesting buildings and demonstrations. It was definitely a trip that everyone enjoyed!
The boys trying out the old fashioned stilts.

I was going NUTS when we saw this. It was sitting on the hall table of this GORGEOUS old mansion. I couldn't believe it!

Dad and Chris "creeping" as the kids call it these days.

Look at how awesome this place is!

This tree was
gorgeous. We seriously had the best time.

At the blacksmith. They make everything the Farm needs including any new hinges for doors. They are are total working farm so everything is done at the Farm. It was VERY cool.

Could you imagine how hot this guy gets in the summer??

The kettle had flowers in it that they were boiling to make yellow wool to be spun into yarn to make blankets and other things needed at the Farm. So cool.

We were trying to take a picture of ourselves, you can't really tell but there were cows in the background. They were special cows with short horns, we found it very fitting but couldn't manage to get a good picture of it.

Cooking a chicken in the open fire, it smelled SO good!

The boys love their mommy!

These pictures are also long over due. Jamie & Chris both looked great this year for homecoming and of course their dates looked amazing too! Jamie's girlfriend Jamie won Homecoming Queen (hence the tiara). They both had an awesome time, and apparently Jamie managed to do an ok job of dancing with his brace. Check out the adorable couples.
Are they adorable or what!?
Seriously, adorable right??
Don't worry Chris has warned Brenna about my picture taking on more than one occasion. She doesn't think I'm crazy, just predictable...
The flowers were just so pretty!
The beautiful couple.
You can't tell but it was a treacherous journey to get to this awesome picture taking spot. Mom and I thought it would be nice to pick Jamie up and carry her given how tiny she is we thought "no problem!". Well let's just say Mom and I almost took out the Homecoming Queen...
Too cute!
The flowers were so pretty I had to include them...

This year Mom's birthday lasted for over a week, it started with Jamie's girlfriend Jamie and her friend Caitlyn coming and decorating the front door and ended this Sunday with a scrumptious dinner and the gormet cake you see pictured below. The boys and I have already been asked to start our own cake show on TLC so no need to suggest it! In a couple of weeks we are going to Hale Farm & Village for Harvest Fest (Mom's gift), we hope it was a great fall birthday!
That guy from cake boss called me to tell me how jealous he was of our cake!
Good job Jamie & Caitlyn!

This weekend Kirk and I had the pleasure of attending our friends' wedding. They are a beautiful couple and their wedding was the most gorgeous wedding I've ever been too. We were so happy for them and so glad we got to share in their special day!
The boys, or as they were called in high school "The Family".
The beautiful couple.
The gorgeous centerpieces.
Awwww, so cute.
How amazing was this place?

This fall hasn't been all broken bones and bad football weather, the boys are managing to have a GREAT time too! Chris is loving his freshman year at Lutheran West and James is having a great time as a Junior. Josh couldn't be happier at St. Paul and Mom inspects his locker every Sunday after Church so far so good! Chris & James had some friends over yesterday for a fire and aside from Mom leaving the lighter next to the fire pit and almost blowing them all up it seems like they had a lot of fun. In super awesome and totally non-embarrassing older sister fashion I stopped over to take some pictures. Apparently James & Chris both warned their girlfriends and friends that I do this a lot... someday they will thank me!
They humored me...
They were intensely into catch phrase.
Jamie was showing his girlfriend Jamie how he could still dance with her at homecoming on his crutches.
The girls were totally blowing the boys minds at how fast & loud they could talk. The tall skinny one standing on the left is Chris' girlfriend Brenna.
Jamie & Jamie, I said "make a funny face" but I think girl Jamie made more of a "what a huge dork" face.
Jamie & Jamie, she tried a new fashion in jersey wearing: the jersey dress. I think she really pulls it off.
Josh & the 5th graders singing at Church today, he strategically hid himself in the far back row. You can see him at the end reaching over every one's heads.
