The ROOM.

Well, I didn't really do much to the girl's room, but it definitely got cleaned up/out after being full of toys and storage stuff for a year. Erin called me out on not putting up pics of the room yet, so I just ran upstairs quick and snapped a few for ya. Here we are standing in the doorway. It's the room above our garage, so that's why there's that weird shaped part.


AND, since she doesn't really need that much space and I'm not ready to move toys to the basement yet, most of the toys stayed upstairs, in these bins and in the boys' room.

and here is the BEAUTIFUL blanket my girlfriend Brie MADE for her, had to use it as wall art to show it off. =) Thanks Brie! Love it!

And here's another shot of the crib - totally exciting, but you can see the little flowers I painted on the wall a bit better. Hope the girl likes flowers, cause I do. hehe

Staff Outing! Woo!

After work today Neal and Trish planned a fun evening for the office to go to this cute lil shop in Bridgman and have a flower arranging class! We had a blast just hanging out and getting to be creative. Ryan and I did a joint arrangement, which you can see at the end, and all the ladies said they were going to bring their flower basket to the hospital for the girl when she's born. haha. At least my room would smell good!! Anyhoo, it was pretty fun and I'm glad I was invited, even though I'm not really staff. =)

BOO.

get your head tilt on for this one...sorry... =)


Here's a sneak at our costumes...a construction worker and his road sign (pic is dark cause Ry's vest was too reflective with the flash - haha), and a ref and a NEB football player! We had a pretty fun day!!

Nate-o and Scipp

What wonderful friends to take their fall break (and 1 year anniv. trip) to come visit lil ol me...well, and the boys...and Ry. We had a pretty great time. They cooked two FABULOUS meals, which we will totally be making again, played with the boys, shopped around, showed Nate some of the town (from the van cause it was raining the whole time- boo), Nate fixed our computer, got some good catchin up time in, got a night out to eat without the boys, watched a movie, made about 20 trips to the grocery store- haha....many things. It's always great to see them, even though it's been since last xmas since we've been together in person, you know you have great friends when you don't miss a beat even when it's been a long time. Two of my favorites...thanks for comin guys!

Fun in the sun?

well...not really. but who says you can't have fun without the sun!?! Schoony's brought over a little treat for the boys to keep thru the winter months in case they (or I- haa) need to burn off some energy. Thanks guys!

Tis the season!

When I was pregnant with the boys, I had Emily make a belly cast of my stomach when I was huge, so this time I had to do something crazy again, you know....just to keep it up. This was SO funny and she did such a good job! Thanks Emily for putting up with me. =) Happy Holloween a week early!

Jollay Orchards!

Here's a few pictures from our 2nd annual trip...there are SOOOOO many more pictures I need to get from Heather and Emily, so stay tuned for another orchard update!
