The BIG Reveal!!

We look forward to this night every year....the one where we head outside, stand in the street and admire our Christmas lights!! We try to add a new addition each year, and this year it started with the tree!! We bought new lights, that by the way can be used year round :)!! and of course bought some oversized ornaments....who said those were only for the inside tree? We also purchased those light nets for the shrubs, can i just say....WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!! if you have small shrubs outside that need lights the nets are definitely the way to go. I also included a picture of our tree, and of course one of the good lookin handy man who hung them all up for me! Hope you're all out putting up your Christmas decorations too, bust out the music....the season is here!!!!!!

HAPPY BDAY RAE RAE

How else can you celebrate 27 than have someone else post a naked picture of you on the Internet? :)!! You're welcome!! The picture on the right far better represents Rae Rae than the one on the left, one because of age, yes, but also because shes not so provocative, running around naked an what not, and she absolutely loves to travel. This is us in Austria, or Germany, whatever, they're like the same place. Rachel is one of the smartest people I know, she works hard at all she does, and is willing to give anything to everyone. Despite the amount of hours she works, she still manages to volunteer her time and money to help those less fortunate. So on your 27th birthday heres to doing something selfish!! Take a day off, or make your lowly assistants do the crappy jobs! You deserve a day off. Happy Birthday Rae Rae, we love you!!

Week 15

Bug,

This week you are the size of a naval orange! You are already in there sucking your thumb and wiggling your tiny little toes. Your liver and kidneys are still developing, and right now you're covered by a thin layer of fuzz to keep you warm. Dont worry once you come out you'll look less like your big brother rocky and more like me and your dad. Your legs now out measure you arms, which may not seem so important now, but trust me when you learn how to walk thats going to be a huge advantage : )!! Oh and all four of your limbs now have functioning joints!! I cant believe you're moving so much in there an I cant feel you yet....soon enough I hope! We have another appointment with your doctor in a couple days to check on your progress. We know you're doing great in there an cannot wait for may to roll around so that you'll actually be here. Oh and please start kicking every time your father says no to the "cowmooflage" car seat, this way he'll know you want it just as bad as I do. Trust me, you will look so cute in it!

Happy Halloween

Aaron is a HUGE halloween fan. We have been stocking candy all month in anticipation of the trick or treaters!! Granted we've had to buy more because we ate the first batch but the point is that we're excited to see all the lil ones out and about in their costumes. We also love to carve pumpkins. We take a trip together to get all the pumpkins we want, search out a good new pattern and then get to work. Mine turned into a bit of a disaster this year, but his turned out great and SUPER scary!! Parents out there dont worry we removed the blade on the knife in case the chittlins started playing with our pumpkin!

Also todays blog wouldnt be complete without a shout out to my Daddy! Its his birthday today! Thats right, hes one of those halloween babies! Every year he selflessly spends the night passing out candy at the church instead of at home celebrating his birthday, so he deserves a lil shout out. Hes the nicest, most wonderful guy you'll ever meet. So happy birthday daddy, I love you.

The BIG 30

Thats right, I am officially married to an "old man"!! Aaron turned the big 30 yesterday and in order to celebrate we went to do something he hasnt done since he was a kid. Thats right we hit up the batting cages!! It took him a minute to get back in the umm "swing" of things but after that he looked like a regular ole pro!! You can also see pics of him openin presents!! But I must admit that the celebration started long before waking up yesterday. I wanted to do something special since this is a BIG birthday, so for the last month we have had 30 days of Aaron. Thats right, a lil gift every day :)!! If you dont know Aaron well you may not know that he is as bad as a child when it comes to Christmas or his birthday, he LOVES presents, and wants them all right then. There is no time to stop an play with one before we're on to the next one!! So this was both fun, and well some days hard for him, because the rule was ONLY 1 no matter what!! Anyway its been a good month, and great 30 years!! Although I've only known him for 10 of those years I must say he continues to get better with age :)!! So Happy Birthday to my one and only, heres to the next 30!!!

Week 13-The week I started breathing

After a long 3 months of keeping it quiet, and worrying about the baby its nice to get a good report and be able to tell everyone about our bug!! Here I am today, honestly I havent gained any weight yet, so this is more lunch than baby, but hey, at least it gives me a little bump : )!!

Week 12

Ok so probably not the best outfit for side photos considering it has a big ruffle down the front, but well its cute and you get the idea!!
