Family Pictures

We had our family portraits taken the beginning of February, and it has taken me this long to get around to posting them. (Don't worry, I bought a CD, so I have the right's needed to put them on my blog! I'm legal!). I just wanted something simple to document our family right now since we are facing alot of changes this year, not to mention, the kids. They change on a daily/weekly/monthly basis, and it's so hard to keep up with them. I would hate to look back at these years and not be able to remember them the way they are. SOOO... For family members: be expecting a copy in the mail....but remember...it's taken me this long to get them on my blog, so don't be watching the mail too closely. I HOPE I can get them out soon, but we'll see. They aren't the GREATEST, but they sure are cute, and that's what we were going for. I was really anxious to document T-Man and his "Bear" and "Ball Blanky" because anyone who knows T-Man, knows he's not T-Man without his left arm around his bear and his right arm supporting the two fingers that are inevitabley always in his mouth. That bear and blanket have been attached to his side for who knows how long, and his fingers have been in his mouth just as long, if not longer. Bear has been lost so many times that I was afraid he would really REALLY get lost before we could get pictures with him. Bug wanted to take pictures with her favorite dog "Martha" and her "Pink Blanky" as well. She's had her favorite pink blanky since she was born as well, and boy do they love their blankets! The picture turned out perfectly! This is one cute family, if I do say so myself! I'm bias, I know...

Visit With Uncle Roger

My favoritest uncle in the whole world is in Omaha doing testing for the dental program at Creighton University, and luckily we were able to get together with him tonight. We went out to a cute little Pizza place called Bene's Pizza and then came back to our house to chat a little. Once the kids warmed up to him, the couldn't get enough of him. Bug LOVED playing Go Fish with him, and they thought it was SOOOO cool that we put their carseats in his Yukon to ride to the pizza place. They kept commenting on how much bigger his car was than ours. Doesn't take much to beat a Grand Am, but hey. They were sad to see him go, but we plan on visiting him in Kansas soon after Justin graduates. He has several ponds on his land, and the kids are very excited to go fishing, to play with his dogs, to ride around on his 'gator' tractor, and so much more! He has quite the outdoor wonderland. I'm already looking forward to visiting him again!

Oh Yeah...I forgot to mention...

(OK..so I didn't really forget, I just haven't been advertising) that we are having a BOY!!!! We went in for our ultrasound just before we went to San Diego, and we were glad to find out that not only is the pregnancy going well so far, we are having another boy. Both kids were pretty hyped up for a girl (heck, so was I) but we were all very excited when we found out it was a boy. The kids had fun going to the ultrasound with us, and they got pretty excited when our doctor took them to get treats from his office.

When ever I tell Bug that the baby is kicking, her eyes get really wide and then she puts her had on my belly and waits. Interesting how she's just pre-programmed. :)

I felt pretty dumb when the doctor walked in while we were taking this picture. ha.
