Grandma Carol's Rug

My Grandma Carol would make rugs out of used wool coats. I found one she started before she passed away and I was determined to finish it. I had a lot of fun making it and thinking of my Grandma. I finished it a few months ago but I didn't have a camera that worked to take a picture of it. I got a camera for Christmas but I'm still trying to get the settings and lighting right, so the pictures aren't the best but that's ok. It fits perfectly in front of our refrigerator and every time I step on it it warms my little tootsies and I think of my wonderful Grandma:)

17 weeks

Well, I am 17 weeks now and everyone is asking if I have a bump yet. I took pictures but you can't really tell but I am getting a little bigger and I can tell. I am doing a lot better with morning sickness and I am starting to get my appetite back thank goodness. Last week I sneezed really big and right after I put my hand on my stomach and felt the baby move, it was really neat. There is, a little baby growing inside me:) We had a doctors checkup this week and heard the babies heart beat and it's doing good. Next time we have a checkup (which will be Feb. 3rd) we will do an ultra sound and find out the gender. Yippy Skippy! I can't wait! I am so excited to get started on making things for the baby.

Hair Cut

This week I got a new hair cut. Not a big change just more layers throughout to give it some more body and shape. It's kind of a bad picture but I really like how it turned out. I forgot to get a picture of the back after I got it cut.

Christmas/New Year's Festivities

Christmas was a lot of fun and it went by so fast. We spent Christmas and new years with the Belnap's this year. It was really neat to go to church on Christmas morning and it helped remind me the true meaning of Christmas. We got a new camera for Christmas from my folks. It's just a basic sony camera but it works great, no more fuzzy pictures, yeah! We took a few pictures on Christmas day by the tree with some of the presents we got for Christmas. Devin and I both got coats and I love the one Devin picked out for me. I surprised Devin with an RC helicopter and he loves playing with it. It's pretty fun to fly it just takes practice to get it to go in the direction you want it to go.

For New Year's we went bowling. It was a blast and I love that tradition! After we got home from bowling we lit the tree on fire with roman candles.

O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree!

Christmas Decor

I finished the Christmas tree skirt I was working on. I'm really happy how it turned out. Sadly enough we don't have a Christmas tree to utilize the skirt. I also took a picture of our nativity set. We got it as a wedding gift and I absolutely love it. Last year I made stockings for Devin and I so I thought I'd take a picture of those as well. I love this time of year and I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas.

Baby Talk

Yesterday our friends Grant and Brianne came over to congratulate us and they gave us our first little baby gift. It made me so happy! Thanks guys:) I don't think it has really hit me that there is a baby inside me. So far I have just been really sick. As soon as I opened the gift, it really hit me. There is a little baby in me and Devin and I will be parents in six months. Aahhh, crazy! We have our second appt. this friday. I just always hope and pray that the baby is healthy and all goes well. Thanks for all the support and love.

Oh Baby Oh Baby!!

Well it's true, Devin and I are expecting a little baby bundle of joy!! I am currently 11 weeks along and the due date is June 19th.
