Nick's dad finally finished his dream house last month! It's about an hour away from us right outside Shelton on Totten Inlet (Puget Sound). Isn't it gorgeous? We are really excited to spend lots of time down there over the years with Connor on the beach and at their pool.

Belly Update

34.5 weeks Pregnant!

Only 5 1/2 weeks to go!!! I am feeling gigantic and pretty uncomfortable these days. I cannot wait for the little guy to arrive!!!

Merry Christmas!

Don't be jelous, but we're all done Christmas shopping! With the baby on the way, I started waaaaay early this year and we just finished up the last few yesterday. Nick and I stayed home last night and wrapped all the gifts and listened to Chistmas music! I know, we are nerds...

Baby Shower #2

My friend Stacey threw me a baby shower on Saturday! We had a blast chatting, eating, and opening gifts! These girls spoiled Connor!

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.
