We are excited to announce that we are expecting a baby BOY in February!! We could not be more excited about it! We went to the Ultrasound last week and then later that night we had a gender reveal party. It was fun to be able to share this and be surprised with all our family! 

We went to the ultrasound and Greg wanted to know what the baby was before we opened the gift in front of everyone. So when it came to the part when they show you what the gender is they turned the TV off so I couldn't see what it was. They told Greg what it was and he got this big grin on his face. So I tried to figure out from that what it could be. But honestly, he had never expressed what he wanted...boy? girl? I had no idea what he really wanted! Then came the 3D pictures. OH MY HECK. The little bundle of joy has long legs already. I remember her going to the picture of it and thinking "geez those are some looong legs!" And we all know he did not get those from me! ha. But everything with him seems to be good. They said he was measuring right where he is supposed to. 

I have been able to feel him move for awhile now. Greg and I were laying in bed one night and Greg was playing on his phone and I was just laying there, well night is usually when the baby is most active. As I lay there and felt him move I told Greg to push on where he was so he could feel the baby move. But of course once he put his hand there he stopped moving. After Greg gave up on trying to feel him move I started to think about how he wont ever get to feel the baby move like I get to. It is seriously such a weird yet amazing feeling! I am still not used to it...I don't know if I will ever be used to it!

Hard Work.

We have been working on getting our yard done and looking good. It is however taking forever...and I am having a hard time being patient. ha I will say we have come a long way and we are almost done with the driveway. One more pour and then we will be done with the cement part of the yard. We still have to put sod down and get our backyard designed the way we want it. Once it is all finished I will be so happy. Here are some pictures of our progress...

Here is our yard before the first part of the driveway was poured

Here are the boys pouring the driveway.

the part off to the left is what we have left to pour.

Here is the back patio

and here is the patio finished. 

Things are really coming along but like I told Greg the other day "I wish we could just snap our fingers and have it all done!" He told me we couldn't do that...as if I really thought we could. ha Our backyard is HUGE and we are trying to decide how much of it we want have grassed. I say the whole thing Greg doesn't like that idea. haha Hopefully we will have it all done before summer is over. That is what I am pushing for...we shall see.

oops...it's been a little while.

So I had planned to update this thing at least once a month. That didn't go so well. ha so here is a catch up of the last couple of months!

Christmas:

That time of year came and went rather quickly. It was a little different this year and did not really feel like Christmas. The weekend before we went to Greg's moms house for her Christmas party. My parents were able to be there and I was happy to see them! We exchanged the sibling gifts that weekend and Reggi got me this cute little book that she made from pictures of the wedding. I absolutely love it! Christmas Eve came and Greg had to work that night so we stayed here rather than go up to my parents. I went to his aunts house for her Christmas party. I was happy I could do that rather than be by myself. Christmas morning came and I got up so I could make us breakfast for when Greg got home. Of course he had to work again that night so he went right to bed. That next weekend we got to go to my parents house and see my family. It was fun to see most of them!

New years:
Greg had to work (of course) so we did absolutely nothing. ha

Other than those little things we haven't done too much.

....oh yeah...my Credit Union got robbed. That was fun!! and the best part is having the members come in and make stupid jokes about it. Like we should think its funny. It's not. Just so ya know. They have linked the guy who robbed us to like 5 other robberies in Idaho. It was not a fun experience, and it really showed me how I would act and handle the situation...during and after the event. I think after has been the hardest and hearing what people have to say. But yeah...that was my excitement for February and some of March.

On the weekends we have Brody we will take him and the dogs to the park and let them run wild. I giggled today when I was helping him hit a ball off a tee and he hit it and yelled "TOUCH DOWN!!!" I then told Greg that he needed to teach Brody his sports. haha


Hopefully we will be more exciting this next month....no promises though!
