Baby update

I can't believe that I am already half way through this pregnancy. The time is going by really fast. I had a doctors appt. yesterday and everything is going well. I go in on the 12the of Nov for my ultrasound. I'm excited to find out what we are having, and to make sure that the baby is okay. I'm starting to set bigger which is good, at least people will see that I'm pregnant and not just getting fat(er).

We are all doing well. Keeping busy. We're excited for the weekend as Cale and Sharon are going to come and visit. It will be nice to hang out with them again. I haven't had to chance to often since I'm normally at work when they come. It will be fun to spend time with another couple again. We miss you Bill and Maggie! That's my life right now work, work, family, and more work.

CHRISTMAS!

I know that it's a little early, but I just love Christmas! I love the way the season feels and the decorations and well, just everything. So, I have already put my christmas music on my blog. As soon as halloween is through I will be putting on the christmas background. You probably think that I'm crazy, but I can't help myself...it's an addiction.

Greenbluff 2008

We had an exceptionally fun time this year at greenbluff. It was so nice to spend time with Bill and Maggie before they went off on their adventure to Georgia. WE MISS YOU! It was Apple festival the weekend that we went, which we didn't realize at the time, but what fun! There were lots of things to do. They had an area dedicated to the entertainment of the kiddies. A hay maze, a couple of jump houses, a "haunted" house (which was really an inflated tunnel), and a pumpkin patch. There were lots of different booths to check out, and of coarse food stations of every kind. The best part though was the pumpkin doughnuts and the apple cider. My two favorite things. There were a couple of mishaps, but nothing to major. We had a great time and will definitely do it again next year.

Josephs Birthday

It's been awhile since my last post. Still working on getting the pictures from Alaska on here. It's just taking me awhile. Joe just celebrated his 35Th birthday on the 8Th. That's right I said 35. I think he had a good day. You know how it is, birthdays aren't as important the older you get. We had a good time with our friends Bill and Maggie though. We went to dinner at Red Robin and then walked around the valley mall for a bit. It was nice to spend time with them because they are leaving us to go to Georgia for Bills work. YEA for them sad for us. We will miss them terribly as they are pretty much the only other couple that we ever do anything with. I guess this will force us to get out of our shells and meet new people...or not. They have been great friends and we will miss them. On Saturday the 11Th we are going up to Greenbluff. I have been looking forward to this for several weeks now. I even took the day off of work so that we don't have to rush. I love it up there, the pumpkin doughnuts and fresh apple cider. Not the mention the corn maze and other fun activities they have for kids. It should be a lot of fun.

The Amazing Cordin

Cordin had his first soccer game today. He did such a great job. It was fun to go and see him play with a team and do well. It was at the park right by our house so that was nice, in fact I think all but one game is here in Airway Heights. I'm really glad that he has decided to participate in a sport that teaches sportsmanship. His coach is great and the kids seem to all get along. Gabbie and Gideon even liked going, although I think they just liked that it was at the park where the play ground is. I don't think that his team one, but like Cordin send "it's just for fun mom, my coach said that we're playing for fun". That is defiantly the right idea.

We're back!

We got back from Alaska early Sunday morning, like 12:30. It was so much fun. I can't believe how beautiful the state is. I have lots of pictures to post and as soon as I figure out how to get them from the video camera to the computer I will have lots of them for everyone to see. We were able to see the glacier that is in Juneau. It was pretty impressive. We really wanted to see a bear but didn't have any luck there. All though we did see brown bear scat which Cordin was very impressed with. We did see lots of Salmon in the rivers which was pretty cool. Joe was able to go fishing a couple of times which he really loved. He didn't catch anything but had a good time trying. We spent a lot of time with family which was so much fun. The kids loved playing with their cousins. Instant friends. It was great! I really loved the experience and am so grateful to Jenny for flying us up there. Also, to Jeff and Kris for letting us stay with them. What wonderful family we have. More on Alaska later. I will have those pictures soon.
