We're Expecting!!

Yes, we are expecting...a new baby that is. Most of you already know this, but hey, I'm excited. I haven't actually been to the doctor yet so I don't have a due date for you, but we are guessing it will be in May. As for that doctor thing, I have really been putting that off. I really loved my OB-GYN in Boise and I just haven't been able to find one here that even compares. So for now I am asking a lot of friends (which don't really even have one doctor in common that they go to) for referrals. I did finally grit my teeth and set up an appointment with a new doctor. I am really hoping I find a good one.

I also have two friends who are pregnant. They happen to be those girls that really look good when they are pregnant and also drop that baby weight weeks afterward. Yeah, you know the ones. I am not one of those people. I increase in size everywhere. My skin breaks out something terrible and I am left with a pooch that will never go away. I may have to avoid them for a few years. Ha! Ha! No, I won't. They are good girlfriends. Even with the terrible things that come along with my pregnancies, I really enjoy being pregnant. It is such an amazing experience and I just love, LOVE, when I feel the baby move for the first time. A wonderful feeling and I can't wait until that happens with this one. Sam strenuously tells me to enjoy it because it will be our LAST....that is disheartening, but probably true. I will try to enjoy the moments, especially when the not so fun stuff comes along. I would love to hear some of your favorite experiences from those of you who have been pregnant. So send me an email or leave me your comment!

Fun with the Bills in Driggs

Happy Birthday, Codi!

This past weekend we met the Bills family in Driggs, ID for a get together. Codi's birthday was coming up and Curtis surprised her by bringing her up to visit. I think we all had a good time visiting and watching the kids play together.

The boys were so excited to see each other. They played hard this weekend and were sad to see each other leave. This is a picture of Russell climbing the rock wall with the Tetons behind him. This kid has some amazing strength not to mention he is absolutely FEARLESS.

Pictured above is Caden, Russell, Weston, and Ethan.

What a beautiful couple!! And just look at that little pregnant belly on Codi. She is always looks so cute when she is pregnant and when she is not for that matter :)

That is the best family picture we could get of the Bills. Just try and get a 5 and 3 year old to sit still while two other hooligans are running around in front of them.
This is Ethan walking the balance beam. He had a death grip on my hand and was terrified I was going to let go even though I swear he could have done it himself.
A picture of the boys on the swings. These were certainly a source of a little contention for the guys. With four kids and only two swings they had to do a lot of sharing and they did pretty good for the most part. After posting all these pictures, I think that maybe next time I will try a slide show. Something else for me to figure out. We had such a good time with the Bills family and it went by so quick. It was nice to relax and catch up a bit with them. Hopefully, we will be seeing you again soon.

Scrapbooking

I am really behind on my scrapbooking...about a year behind that is. These are some layouts I did of our kids and the Bill's kids when we visited them in Seattle. I thought they turned out so cute so I thought I would share.
