The Writing on the Wall...

Baby's room color (pale sky is the official name, light blue)

A friend of ours and a really good contractor redid the walls and ceiling (it was popcorn) in Baby's room. Mom walking in to see the color, and something else...

Mom noticing something on the wall.

"Finally! I get a name for my newest grandson!"

It's a little off center, but that can be worked on later. You get the idea. :)

We're having a ..........

BOY !!!

Last night we went to the ultra sound apt and found out we are having a little boy! We are both very excited!! There are 5 ultra sound pics. I then headed to Bunco with my girlfriends and brought this cake from cold stone. I had a "game" ready for them to put the letters together to spell out what we are having. It was a great time!!

Picture Day

On Friday, we had school pictures. Since it will be my last class picture for awhile (tear), I got a black maternity dress. This is me and baby at 19 weeks! Stay tuned for an update after our ultrasound on Friday that will hopefully determine the babies sex. :)

Week 18

Here is a picture of me and baby in a dress my mom got me. She is such an amazing shopper! It was only about $6!! Then she mailed it to me with some other pregnancy clothes from her and Gma.

Meet BOB

Ted and I made our first big purchase for the baby....a BOB stroller!!! I absolutely love this stroller because it is so versitale! It can be a jogging stroller, everyday stroller, infant stroller (with the infant car seat adapter we got), and hold a kid up to 70 lbs!! It is so easy to close and open...love it!!!

We just came home from REI with the new stroller. Can you see my curious little helper that can't wait to go on a walk with the baby in the new stroller?

Bell E Shots!!!

Okay Heather, this is for you. You (and my mom) have requested pics of the ever growing belly, so here are the ones that have been taken so far. I have just gotten around to this because I have been sick with the stomach flu for a while and then before that had a cold, and before that the flu...today is the first day I actually feel kinda human.

Here I am on the 13th of January (week 13)

And this is me and baby on February 1st (week 16)

The Best Birthday Present Ever...

...Ted and I are expecting a new addition this July! Yes, I am pregnant and due July 21st (my birthday)! I am almost 14 weeks along and we are very excited. I was not feeling well for the 6-10 weeks and then got the flu for 12 days after Christmas, hence one of the reasons I have not been blogging lately (and not sending out Christmas Cards this year, and not making Christmas Cookies). I am feeling a lot better now. :)

This ultrasound was taken at about 6 weeks (my first appointment). My family lovingly calls the baby "pac man" here. I bet you can guess why.

The Boyett's in Colorado

My sister Amy and her husband and two boys came to visit in early October. This was their first trip to CO as a family. It was so fun to take them up Pikes Peak and to the Garden of the Gods. We had a good time hangin' out together. Amy and I went horseback riding through the Garden too. One of my favorite things was making banana bread with Matthew. Check out this slide show of pictures!

Estes Park

Our house as we left for Estes Park

Eating lunch in Estes. Coley trying to get some food from Ted.

Elk eating as the snow was falling.

I loved the contrast here between the pines and evergreens covered with snow and the other trees with their fall leaves still hanging on.

I looked out my window and saw...

A BUCK!!! He was standing two feet from my front door and stayed long enough for me to take a picture. I love living out here!!

I loved the leaves changing on the tree in our front yard. Fall is so pretty.
