Baby #2 Update

Went to the doctor today, and all is well with baby #2.  Next visit we will officially know the sex, but unofficially we were able to pretty much tell what it is. The doc said girl parts can look big on the ultrasound, but these parts looked “pretty big”.  Guess we will have to wait one more month!

 

 

So backwards…

First off, I’m trying a new way to write my blog posts.  Thanks to my sis-in-law Tammy for enlightening me on how to be creative (I am officially the most uncreative person on the planet).  Hope this works… Anyhoo, this post is pretty random but is anyone else excited for fall? I love it!! I love back to school time, even though I haven’t been “back to school” in 3 years.  I love the holiday season, especially Halloween. Morbid, I know, but that’s just the kind of gal I am (look at the book I’m reading). I admit to going to Michael’s just to walk through their Halloween section (It’s an entire spooky town!!)

I love the fall leaves changing from lush green to fire red and pumpkin orange (so glad I was raised in P-town where the canyon is a  10 minute car ride away, and that I no longer get carsick).

I love the cooler temps! Living in Phoenix definitely ruined summer for me. Anything above 90 and I’m done. I guess I’m the opposite of those people who get SAD (seasonal affective disorder). I love a good rainstorm and have been diligently watching the weather for any signs of rain. So far Grant Weyman has been letting me down…

Can’t wait for the holidays! Did I mention normal TV returns too? Including 30 Rock? People, if you are not watching this show, we need to have a serious talk. Liz Lemon rules!

 

Ps- Little D is trying to walk! I won’t call it official, but he suddenly started walking last night. It was more than the 2 wobbly steps then fall on your butt kind too! Actual steps!! More to come later.

Happy Anniversary!

Anybody else’s blogger template change? Mine is all messed up, so here goes nothing. 9 long years ago Terry and I said “I do!” I can’t quite believe it’s been that long. Terry is the best hubby ever and I really don’t know what I would do without him. Love you lots!! Here’s to 9 more years of happiness, love and diaper changes.

A yard... and an owie

The yard is finally done! Too bad we still can't walk on it for awhile. It's crazy to look out and see green instead of dirt and weeds.

Almost done...








The finished product

So glad to have it done! Now we just need patio furniture...

We had our first big "owie" with Deacon. He fell flat on his face on the wood floor and his tooth went right through his lip! There was so much blood everywhere! We took him to our bishop who is also a dentist and he said it wouldn't need stitches. I'm guessing this is the first of many bloody lips and falls!

Congrats, Dad

Well, my Dad finally to the plunge and married his girlfriend! They've been dating for 4 years and are crazy about each other. Not sure what took so long, but at least they finally did it! Annette is so wonderful and I am very excited to have her in our lives. Congratulations!


Sorry about the bad picture. I ran out of memory space!

It's official!

Yup, I got knocked up again! Baby #2 is due March 16th, 2010. Yes, it was planned, and yes we are a little crazy. I just want all my babies here!! I am 6 weeks along and VERY sick. Pregnancy does not agree with me. If anybody has advice I'd love to hear it! I promise, there's a baby in there. Not even big enough to be a peanut yet!

Deacon turned the big 1-0 in months. So cute sitting all by himself in the bear chair!

Who likes swimming?

We were finally able to go swimming this weekend at the in-laws! The weather was pretty sketchy in the morning, but cleared right up in time to go swimming. We thought Deacon would hate it, but the kid loved it! Terry popped a hole in his floaty, but luckily Grandma & Grandpa Rees had extras. I really miss our pool in Arizona now!
