Lots of Parties and Showers!

Renee's Baby Shower!

We threw Renee a little shower for her second baby, Boston. We all chipped in to buy her the rocking chair that she had been wanting forever.
I think she was a little shocked! :)

Peyton's 1st Birthday Party!

I think she liked the cake...

Phil & Stephanie with their birthday girl

Colin & Amber's Co-Ed Baby Shower
Here are some of the girls...I think the boys were watching football at this point so they could feel like men or something.

One of the shower games...who could finish their baby bottle first! I think one of the guys one this game!!

Back to School...27 Weeks Prego

Well, here I am on my first day back to school! So far my 6th graders seem like a pretty good bunch of kids...hopefully it stays that way at least for a while. The day went well except for one minor problem....one of my boys who is deathly allergic to bees was stung at recess and of course he hasn't updated his epi-pen for the year. So he went to the nurse to get the shot and it was expired!!! So after we called 911, the paramedics came, and his parents came, everything was ok. Poor guy though, first day of 6th grade....I bet he'll never foret it! I know I won't!

This one's for you, Tyra!

Tyra was giving me a hard time about not posting baby bump pics on the blog...so here you go! This was taken the same day, right at 27 weeks. I just took off my teacher sweater so you could get a better view of the growing belly.

Melissa's Painting

Check out the awesome painting that Melissa made for Connor's nursery! Isn't it cute? Thanks Melissa!!!

Little Seahawk Fan

Our friend Cody came over the other day with a bag full of Seahawks stuff for Connor! Our little guy is now set for his first Seahawks season with a Tatupu jersey, bib, socks, booties, binkies, and a bottle. Nick asked if it would be ok if he brought Connor to a Seahawks game this year...we'll see about that!

1 Year Anniversary

We celebrated our 1 year anniversay by getting away for the weekend in Bellingham. We love it up there and it's where we met and started dating 7 1/2 years ago! We stayed at the Chrysalis Resort & Spa which was beautiful!

Getting the nursery started

My goal was to have the nursery done by the time I went back to school in August. So we've been working hard the last few weeks painting, buying and assembling the furniture, and all that fun stuff. It's not done, but here are a few pics of what we've done so far!
