Work Projects

Over the past week or so we have been working on the long list of projects around the house. We are redoing (updating) our 3rd bedroom which Bo will move into shortly. We had to ripe down wallpaper, put a light in (ceilingfan w/ light), light switch and are putting more closet shelving in, painting trim and walls and then we had a few other small projects around the house. Bo has been a big help. He loves to be right there by Daddy the entire time. He got his own power tool set for x-mas and so he gets to use those. It's so cute to see him imitate Dave! Hopefully the bedroom will be all ready in the next two weeks so that we can move Bo into his new bunkbed before Daddy takes off to Africa for a couple weeks. We are trying to get all these things done before Dave heads off to Africa for 18 days. That way I can work on cleaning and getting the nursery ready for our little girl, wh!ile he is away! I'll post some pics of the finished project once we are done!!

It's a.....

We are so happy to announce that we are having a little GIRL!! Everything is looking good and right on track. We are anxiously awaiting her arrival in May!

Christmas 2008

We had a very busy Christmas season! We enjoyed time with family and friends. It was so exciting to see Bo in action this year. He really got into unwraping his presents. Thank you to all our family for the wonderful presents and joy you brought us this year!! We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my mom and dad. Reece was sick but we still got to see her for a little while, Bo and Kenndey had fun playing together with their new toys. We then had Christmas with Dave's family the Sunday after and Bo had fun playing with his uncles and aunt since their is no other little ones yet. We wish you all a happy and healthy new year in 2009!

Another favorite a TRACTOR!!

His new power tool set!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

May the celebrations of Christ's birth be a joyful reminder of God's great love for us!

One Much Needed Vacation!

We had a wonderful time out in California. We stayed with my aunt and uncle who live in the Thousand Oaks area just outside of LA. We had mostly beautiful weather. While out in California we went to the Ronald Reagan Museum (this was really neat), went to Disneyland for 2 days (we even got FREE tickets!!), shopped in Hollywood at The Grove and did the drive through Beverly Hills (Rodeo Drive) and then up the coast to Malibu. We had a nice and relaxing trip, Dave was sick some of the time but was a great trooper and still did everything. Bo did awesome on the plane, we even got comments on how good he was! Praise God!! We just might fly again. Bo seemed to enjoy Disneyland he just liked looking at the characters from a distance, he didn't like being to close. Disney had a great Christmas parade, that we saw the first night there. It really got me into the Christmas spirit. I just wasn't ready to come back to the bitter cold!

Winter Wonderland!

With our first snow fall here we are enjoying the beautiful site of snow from indoors!! We did take Bo out monday afternoon to see his reaction. He wasn't so sure at first, but doesn't seem to be afraid of it. It was a little windy and the snow was blowing but he just wanted to help Dad scoop the drive. Hope you are staying warm this week!

Our Little Tractor Boy!

15 month check-up

On Thursday we had Bo's 15 month check up with Dr. Boe. Bo is one healthy, happy little guy! What a joy he has brought to Dave and I we couldn't be more blessed! Some of Bo's current interest are tractors (this definitely his #1 choice), being chased by someone, reading books, eating, and being outside.

At the appointment Bo weighed in at 24 lbs 10oz (50%), and was 31 3/4 inches (75%).

BAM-BAM

This Halloween we spent the evening at Grammy and Papa's house. Bo went trick or treating with cousins Kennedy and Reece, we had pizza and the little ones loved to head to the door every time in rang. They weren't quit sure what to think of the trick or treader's.

Pebbles and Bam-Bam they are 2 of a kind!
