Baby Bedding, and some.

Another picture featuring Shayla's preggo belly, with the stunning foliage as the backdrop. This makes it 36 weeks! She's creeping up there.



So we finally got some bedding for the crib. Seriously can't believe what they charge you for it. You would think that it comes with the crib, but sadly we realized that it doesn't. We actually got it on sale so it wasn't too terrible, hopefully it will do it's job and help her sleep snug as a bug!

Baby Prep- 33 Weeks

So we know it has been forever since our last post, not that anyone follows us, but we thought we might as well post something seeing as since our last post we found out what sex the baby is, and we got a new camera. So this monday is 34 weeks of being pregnant, only 6 more weeks till the due date! Today, after Shayla's suggestions to do so, we set up the baby's room(crib, dresser, change table, stroller etc.), for yes, as you know our little girl. It looks pretty good. It wont look great until there is a baby in there. We are excited and can't wait for her arrival. No solid name decisions yet, and probably wont till we are in the hospital. We just had some time to see Jay and Steph with little Jacob, and he certainly expressed his excitement to have another cousin his age. Not that Penny, and Cru aren't cool, he just wants more. SO yah, now that we have a nice new camera.....a Canon Rebel EOS T2i, we should be taking lots more photos and documenting our lives. Until next time.

19 Weeks.

Well I am officially the worst blogger EVER!! Well it has been quite a while since I've blogged last, and a lot has happened. I'm PREGNANT! which everyone all ready knows. Right now I am 20 weeks!! Thats right, I'm half way there! Seems like the first half has just flown by... I'm hoping the second half does the same thing. Well I feel like I'm a lot bigger then most. I know a few people due around the same time I am ( June 28th ) and you can hardly even tell they're pregos!!! But at the same time its nice to know the more I grow the more the baby grows. I haven't felt a definite kick, but I'm pretty sure I've felt some movement, but not 100% sure. Its kinda hard being a first time pregnant person, you don't really know whats normal or whats what. I'm starting to feel basically normal again, except for this lil pouch on the front of me. I like food again!!! and I'm not sick all the time! YES! its a good time. Heres a picture everyones been asking for. I'll try and keep this blog up better for the future!!! I'm sure once this lil guy or girl gets here I'll do a lot better job. Sorry about it being in the kitchen, I had to take it with my lap top, and that was the only place I could get it up high enough.

So apparently we aren't too good at this blogging thing. Well we had a Halloween party and it was SO FUN! and yes we had it on Halloween so we are very behind. It was quite a stressful ordeal for me. I have no idea why I do this to myself. I love to throw parties, but when I have to much time to plan them I just keep planning and planning, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger.... which is what i did with my costume!!! o boy.

Yes instead of just find a paper bag (do they still make those cuz I haven't seen one in a long time) cutting some holes for arms and head and wearing it... I made a dress. There is a layer of fabric on the bottom in case the paper ripped, and then two layers of paper, the outside layer of paper is all crumpled up. I spent WAY! too long on this dress... it even has a zipper in the back. When I finally finished it I tried it on and it almost didn't fit... and the sleeves were SOOOOOO UGLY!!!! Joshua laughed his face off at me when I tried it on. So after a few days of sulking i took the sleeves off and just added some of my own creation... it turned out alright... but at the same time it didnt turn out anything how I wanted, but thats ok cuz people still liked it.
K so back to the party!! it turned out to be really fun!! I made way to much food and didnt have enough people bring stuff but thats ok cuz its better to have too much food then not enough right? Well it was a blast!!! we had our closet friends there and we just hung out and had fun all night. We started off watching the hockey game, then when I finally couldn't take anymore hockey the guys switched to playing guitar hero world tour, and then once again... they played hockey haha. The women (and Jordi haha) played games and then ended up what we do best... talking. I finally looked at my watch and realized it was 1:00!!!! crazyness!!! Everyone wrapped things up and were off by 2:00. I was way to tired to clean so yes... I left all the food and everything out till the next morning, i'm a horrible person I know! haha So all in all it was a very successful fun night, but I dont have a single picture of Joshua!! Dixie does and I keep meaning to get them from her, but haven't yet. So here are some of the very few pictures we do have.

For some reason we have become bloggers.

Aside from a few pictures taken by one of Shayla's friends for our first anniversary, we have literally no pictures of us. Our only camera is a cheap little digital, that is nowadays pretty low quality. We always planned to get a better one, but never had the motivation to do so. We hope that this blog will encourage us to document our life, as unremarkable as it is, so that when years pass we won't be upset because we realize that we have no pictures or recorded stories of our early years of marriage. For a little kick-off treat here are some pictures from that first anniversary shoot.
Cheers.
