A For Real Married Couple

Thought we would post some pictures of our fantastic yard that we bought.

We really got lucky that the previous owners took such good care of it. Now all we have to do is keep it up with a little weeding here and there and mowing the lawn, which Jamon does so well.

I, of course, couldn’t go without planting my flower pots.

Jamon working the soil.

And we planted a Garden. Our first garden…tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, pumpkins, carrots, and watermelon. We really tried to do things just by what we have learned from our parents, so we are curious to see if things will really grow and produce. If not, it will be fun trying.

Disclaimer: Our garden producing or not producing in no way reflects the teachings of our parents. They taught us well by example and putting us to work. If we get no produce it will be because we wanted to do it on our own, and we will make sure we ask more questions for next year. We love our Moms and Dads.

How for real of a married couple are we? A house, baby on the way, and a garden. It really feels official when you have all this going on.

And since I’ve been slacking on my Prego pictures (Sorry Stephanie) here I am at 35 weeks.

WOO HOO!!

Designer’s Needed

We need help.  We’ve bought the material (shown below) that I will be making all the bedding, curtains and such with for the baby’s room, but we have run into a dilemma…

What color should we paint the room? 

Right now it is a true baby blue and definitely needs to be painted.  I wanted dark wood furniture, but we’re ending up with white, which I really am fine with.  So with these bright colors and white furniture what color/colors/other idea’s do you suggest?

March-ing on

I Love March!

Here are some things that either I or Jamon or both of us have done this month.

Jamon went to Arizona with two of his brothers to visit another brother.

While Jamon was in Arizona I went to Enoch to see my new niece, Bridgette.  Check out her hair.

This is the material that I bought for the baby’s room.  This will make a baby bumper, quilt, curtains, and anything else we can make out of the rest of the material.  It’s a little bright I know, but I love it!

We Participated in the filling out of March Madness brackets.  We didn’t do so hot.                 (orange are the games we won)

I got kicked in the stomach and later kneed in the stomach, but I have since had a Dr. apt and ultra-sound and baby is fine.  Being a mix of Andelin and Wilcock he has to be tough!

I Celebrated my birthday early with the preschool on the 26th.  Only because I had a self imposed no treat pact going on till my birthday and if I celebrated it early then I would be able to have treats early.  Smart thinking right?  I was SO excited to have treats/cake/ice cream/chocolate and all else sweet and yummy.

For my real birthday We both went to Cedar for my niece’s baby blessing.  It was fun celebrating with Daniel, my brother, whose birthday is on the 27th and with Bridgette, my niece, for her blessing.

I got my first credit Card.  Still haven’t used it, but I have it.

Last, but not least, We bought a house. Actually we are under contract and will close on April 28th.  If everything goes as planned we will be moving May 1st.  Woo Hoo!  Here are the specs on the new place.

• 4 bedroom
• 2 bath
• 2 car garage
• updated kitchen with all the appliances
• formal living room
• Awesome family room
• Fenced in Back yard with tall trees, patio, garden area, and sandbox
• big Storage room and pantry
• Basically move in ready.  No need to paint, change carpet, or upgrade anything.  This doesn’t mean that we don’t have plans to do some of these things, but only for our benefit and liking.

Can’t wait to move in and most importantly be settled, before baby comes into the world, which is in 12 weeks.   Here is me at 28 Weeks…

Prego Update

23 Weeks

Other than the extra pounds I’ve been feeling Great.  He is kicking like crazy, just not where Jamon can feel him.  His favorite spot just happens to be my bladder and anything else surrounding that area.  Very rarely does he kick my stomach, I’m sure that day will come, or at least I’m hoping it will for Jamon’s sake, and my bladders.

And What to our Wondering Eye Should Appear...

February 16th I got a text from my brother Mark informing me that his wife, Kelly, was in Labor. Total surprise since she was not due till March 10-ish. So I was anxiously awaiting the text that would follow with "here HE is", along with the weight and length and of course a picture. Instead I got the following picture and text.

"Well what a shock. A baby girl!!!"

It took several texts back and forth to realize that my brother wasn't kidding. They really had a girl instead of the boy everyone was expecting! I don't mind though, niece or nephew I just love 'em all!!

Check out all that hair.

Happy Valentine’s Day
