Only 35 Days Left!

It is crazy how fast the time has gone by. Were are super excited to have our little baby come into the world. And it is only about a month away!

I feel bad for Megan because she is feeling like every other pregnant women. Tired and uncomfortable. And really looking forward to once the baby comes because she feels like this.




The lady on the right that is. But that is not at all how she looks. She is super cute and I love her so much. She looks more like this.



This is not a picture of her because I am sure she would kill me if I put a picture of her because remember she thinks she looks like the lady on the right.

She is not and I just want to tell her that I love her.

Are We Idiots?

Last night was an exciting event. I bet it will be the only time that such an event will be exciting for us. We will be doing this same task again and again but I feel that the novelty will quickly wear off.

What is this magical event that got Megan and myself so excited. Well it was buying diapers of course.

Do we not understand what these things are for? Are we unaware of what smells come paired with the use of such a product? Do we not get the level of commitment required to use these? Are our synapses miss firing causing us to overlook the cost of these products? Can we for see what liquids and solids* we will have to deal with while we use these? Is our view that short sighted to grasp the sheer amount of these that will be use? Have we forgotten that other products like wipes and creams need to be purchased as well? Don't we realize what diaper rash is? Do we have any comprehension of leakage or explosions? Do we know if those are the offical terms?

Are we idiots?

Well the answer to most of those questions is No, our first hand experience is limited. Yes we are naive but more importantly we are just excited to have something to put inside a diaper.

Slowly we have been purchasing things for our baby as the months draw to a close (not soon enough for Megan) so we don't have a huge bill at the end of forty week of anticipation. But for some reason buying diapers was different. Can't wait for out BABY!

*I use the term 'solids' loosely

CHRISTMAS TIME!

With Christmas less then a week away. We are both getting very excited. We have made sure that we have been good all year long so Santa would come for milk and cookies instead of blood.


I went and got a Christmas tree and deceratored her up for the season. I surprised Megan with this. Yep! I did it all by myself.

And of course to bring the spirit of the season into our home other decorations were put up. Including this hand crafted wreath. We only put the finest up at our house.

Christmas time is one of the best times all year. Megan has been wrapping presents for weeks I am so excited. Christmas morning I will put this kid to shame.

Megan and Me Love Christmas!

A Landmark Achievement

I owe much to this man. And so do countless millions all over the world. His name is Alexey Pajitnov and he designed Tetris.

For those who don't know Tetris is 25 years old. It is a little late in the year, we should have had a Tetris birthday party on June 6, but Tetris isn't a person so it won't hold it against me. What better way to celebrate then to pay homage to greatest casual game, if not the the greatest game of all time.

Recently I had the chance to play a round of Tetris and was so excited when I was able to beat it. That is right, I was able achieved 'Game Over' not because of a block out but because I had reached the confines of the program. And accomplishment that I will cherish for a long time*.

I hope that you all take a moment to reflect on your Tetris play and give thanks that we have such an amazing program.

*Maybe not that long because I have since done it several times on the mobile Tetris version on my phone. You only need to get 150 lines.

I'm So Lucky!!

I am up and not able to sleep so thought what better way to spend my time then tell y'all how much I love Jeff. Today was a rough day, I have got a nasty cold and it kept me in bed or on the couch all day long. Jeff was amazing and I am so grateful for him. Even though he was busy with school and work and just his life in general, he was wonderful to me and did so much today. I came downstairs this afternoon and he had cleaned the house and done ALL the laundry. I was so happy that is almost made me cry. Ok... I probably did cry a little bit but I am going to blame it on being pregnant and sick. He is just the most amazing man ever and I am so lucky that I found him. I am thankful for him everyday and thank my Heavenly Father for him every night but it is days like these that I just love him even more. Anyways... that is my little rant for the night... JEFF IS THE BEST AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!

BACON AND EGGS ANYONE????

So... I decided that since we were going to take a quick trip out to Rosemary to see my sister and her kids for Halloween that we should also dress up. I worked until 7am on the 31 so came home and went to bed for a few hours. I got up and made a trip to Wal Mart and came home to put my Martha Stewart hat on. About an hour and a half later I had them done and in the car on my way to pick up jeff from work. It is amazing what you can do with a little foam, spray paint, and a glue gun. Although I had lots of burns and I was covered in a ton of foam... I felt like I would have made Martha proud.

When I pulled up to get jeff he looked in the back seat and wondered what I had done. He just laughed and told me I was a geek. It is ok though because he knew I was a geek before he married me and he still loves me.

We went and had a great time with the boys. While we were out collecting candy we went past the school park and my husband being the boy he is thought we should play. As you will see our costumes really made it hard to play but we laughed and had a good time! I just love him!!!!! He makes me laugh everyday which I love!!!

Here are a few pics of the evening, hopefully y'all enjoy them!!

Here we are with the three boys, Levi the chicken, Carter the frog and Zack Count Dracula. They are too cute!


Jeff and I trying to play on the swings but having a bit of a hard time. So fun though!!

Pumpkins and Taquitos

The other night we had a few people over for a bit of a shin-dig. The original plan was to go bowling but with the late start and lack of resevation at the alley, who knew that you need reservations for a bowling alley? So the idea was put forth that we go buy some pumpkins and carve jack-o-lanterns.

Off to the grocery store we went and searched through hundreds of huge orange gourds. Megan had given me the resposibility to find a pumpkin worthy of sitting on our porch for this spooky season that is upon us. Meanwhile, Megan went to go grab some snacks for the people that were now coming over. One of the things that she got were taquitos.

I love taquitos. Just look at them, what is bad about them ... nothing.

As important as taquitos seem to be and as important as they were that evening, they had to give way for the main event. Taquitos can not give you the awesome entertainment that scooping out Pumpkin guts can. And then when you add the sheer pleasure of carving holes into the face of a pumpkin a state of nirvana is nearly achieved.

This lady knows what I am talking about.

We had a lot of fun and our pumkins turn out, specifically into jack-o-lanterns. Check it out for yourself.

Happy Halloween!
