Halloween fun

Last night we were going to carve our pumpkins but Kevin wasn't feeling very well so I ended up just carving my pumpkin. Hopefully he will be feeling better to get his done, but I have a feeling I might end up doing it. Anyways...here is a look at my pumpkin.

Oh Baby

So I just made it to my six month mark!

I'd say it's all down hill from here, but who am I trying to fool. I've felt very blessed to have a pleasant pregnancy so far. I didn't really get sick, had a week of bad back pain around my 14th week. But other then that things have been good until now. In the past few weeks the back pain is always there, my feet are starting to swell and hurt from the extra weight and getting around is harder in general.
Needless to say we are more than excited to have this little addition to our family.

Aww Puppy!

How cute is this! A couple weeks ago we decided to get Jojo a friend. At first they didn't get along so well but they are learning to love each other. We spent all Saturday morning driving around to different adoption places to try and find a dog, without much luck we gave up. But as soon as we got home I jumped on craigslist and there she was, our little Bella.

Our Cute Little House.

I have finally found my camera cord, so as promised pictures of the house. Well really just one picture for right now.

It's still crazy to think that a month ago we were looking at apartments and now we are living in and able to buy this house. It all happened so fast! But as you can see from the boxes on the front pourch, we are still in the messy unpacking phase. So when we get all settled I'll post some pictures of the inside.

Moving Day!

So we closed on our house this morning and can't wait to move in tomorrow!

We Can't Wait!

So we have been in our temp housing for about a month now and only have a week and a half left. As nice as it has been we can't wait to get into our own place and get our own stuff back! About two weeks ago we put an offer on a house down here in Texas and by next Friday we should be closing! It's an older house but we are buying it from flippers so it all fixed up inside so we wont have to do much but unpack when we move in.

I wish I had pictures to show but the camera cord got packed by accident, so once I find it we'll get some pictures up.

It's A Boy!

So we found out last week that we are having a little baby boy. We couldn't be more excited! We are still in our temp housing down here, so no scanner yet meaning no picture. Sorry.

Life In Texas

I feel like there really isn't anything new going on. We made it down to Texas with no problems. We are in the process of trying to find a place to live and can't wait to have our stuff back. It took a little bit but we did find a doctor down here and will have our ultrasound on Thursday to find out if we are having a boy or girl! Well I think that's it. Really not much going on just waiting to start life in our own place.

So You Think You Can Dance...

So I am super sad to see the season come to and end, but I wanted to share some of my favorites from the season.

Last but not least Kevin and I both loved this one! Every time I hear this song I can't help but think of this dance.

Weekend in Dallas

This last weekend Kevin and I headed down to Dallas to check thing out and look at what areas we might want to live in. Since we wont really need to find a place until October, when our temp housing ends, we decided to take Saturday and play. That morning we went to the aquarium for a couple hours and then off to Ripley's Believe It Or Not and Wax museum.

When you first walk in you walk into this huge jungle like room. It has like 4 levels and as you walk through it you slowly make your way down to the aquarium below.
The birds would just fly around freely. This one actually almost hit Kevin in the head. There was a bird right next to him but as I was getting ready to take the picture this one came and land on his head but found the branch instead.

Some of the fish we saw we couldn't really believe. This one is called a leafy seahorse. When they swim by the seaweed you can hardly tell the difference.

They had a walk through under the shark tank. The saw sharks would just sit on the top of the walk through. It's hard to tell in the picture but their month look just like human lips but flattened out.

I can't remember the last time I went to the aquarium but we had a blast and couldn't help but think about how much fun it will be to take our child there.

Sad news. :(

So we had a little misunderstanding about our appointment today. We thought we were having our second ultrasound to find out the sex of the baby, but in actuality we were just listening to the heart beat and getting my blood drawn. Listening to the heart beat was cool we could also hear the baby moving and kicking. Blood work was not so much fun.

What a week!

I know it's only Monday but I feel like this has been the busiest week ever. Saturday we started putting in our new floors. It's been an adventure but we are almost there! I'm really excited but we only get to enjoy them for a few weeks.

Then on Wednesday we get our second ultrasound and we get to find out if it's going to be a boy or girl! Kevin and I are hoping for a boy so he can take car of the others when they get older, to look out for our little girls. Any Ideas, boy or girl?

Thursday morning we are off to Dallas for the weekend to check out the area and try and find a place to live! Still weird to think that we will be living down there. The movers came on Friday to survey our stuff, at that point it felt so real. Talking about packing everything up what needs to come with us and what needs to go in the truck with them. But hopefully we can find a nice area this weekend and really start looking when we get down there.

The Upcoming Move!

So It is offical! We are moving to Dallas! After 6 interviews, a month of waiting, only 3 more weeks and we'll be down in Texas. I don't even know what to say, we are still in shock about the whole thing.

Our Baby!

So It's hard to really see in this picture but in the top one you can see the baby's little eye and ear. In both pictures you can see a hand sticking out from behind the head. At this point the baby is only a little bigger then and inch long. So yeah...it's not the best picture but it's our baby!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

OK...so it's been awhile since I've last posted and some big news has been brewing. Kevin and I are excited to say that we are expecting our first child on January 18, 2009! We had our first ultrasound today and it was so fun to see the baby. We also saw the heart beat, it's too early to hear it but we definitely saw it. We are excited more then words can say!

Another big news flash it that we will most likely be moving to Dallas. Kevin applied for a promotion on a whim and it turned out to be promising. We should know more by the end of next week. Who knows...we may be off to Dallas by the end of July.

Six Flags

So on our last day in Dallas we went to Six Flags. We were both really excited about it, but it didn't last long. On our 2nd ride Kevin hurt his tail bone and couldn't even sit without being in really bad pain.

This is Kevin and I and the Batman ride. We stode in line for an hour but it was worth it.

Becuase we couldn't do anymore rides we just walked around looking at the litte shops. We found this guys that was blowing glass. It's hard to tell in the picutre but he was making a little humming bird. It was very interesting to watch.

Every Thing Is Bigger In Texas

There was a lot to do in Dallas and we took advantage of it. The first night we were there we went to Studio Movie Grill. It's a movie theater and restaurant in one. It was a fun concept and we wish they had one up here. While we were in the movie a storm rolled in. So when we went to leave it was pouring (I've never seen it rain that had ever). This was bad because we didn't know where we were going, we couldn't even see the lane lines and we kept getting stuck on the turnpikes. We finally made it back to our hotel to find out that there was a tornado watch in affect. We were kind of excited about it we thought it would be fun to see a tornado from a good distance but on luck.

The second night we went to a dinner and a show with one of Kevin's co-workers. It was placed in medieval times with a full meal and a show full of fun.

They placed us in groups by the color of the crown you were given. Kevin loved wearing his!

It was really dark in there but these are some of the horeses and knights awaiting the fights.

This was our knight after winning his fight!

I think this was the best part. Near the end the stared jousting, you could obviously tell it was all fake but it was still fun to watch.

Fun In Phoenix!

Last week we had a week of travel, our first stop was Phoenix for a few days. The first night we were there we just went out to eat and relaxed. The next night we thought it would be fun to go see another baseball stadium. So we made our way downtown. We found this cute little Mexican restaurant then made our way over to the game.

The stadium it's self was really nice. We were surprised how calm it was though. If you have ever been to a Mariners games fans are going crazy, the music is loud, people are yelling. But there the fans were calm and the atmosphere was just a lot quieter.

While walking around downtown we found a Hard Rock Cafe and just took a picture. We have never been there before but didn't have time to stop.

I thought these cacti were so cute for some reason and Kevin made fun of me for it. So a funny story, I went to touch them to see if they were really pokey. I touched the front one on the right and it wasn't pokey at all. So as Kevin went to take a picture of me and the cactus I posed as if I was sitting on it and got poked, but I got too close and got poked really hard. Kevin just laughed at me, but it really hurt.

The Best Two Years!

Monday was our two year anniversary and we just took the day to visit some fun spots in Washington(next week we are going to Phoenix and Dallas for a real anniversary celebration). We went up to Anacortes, then over to Deceptions pass. We walked some of the trails around the bridge and took in the views. From there we went down to Fort Casey, which is an old WW1 artillery post . It was pretty cool to walk through the old buildings and bunkers and to see the huge cannons! I wish I had pictures to share but our camera died before be got there. But none the less we had a great day together and can't wait until next week for our trip!
