Yet another project...

Before... what were we thinking?

After... no more nasty plants, no more RV cover, coi pond (or so they said), crab grass, dividing fence and on and on!

For all of you who have been wondering why Matt is always busy... here is a visual to help you understand! The back yard is a totally different place now. I love being back there! Hopefully next summer Matt and his son can play in the back yard instead of work... I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Projects.....

I tired to post theses pictures a couple of weeks ago but my computer was on strike and refused to cooperate... or may be it was user error... anyways.


Odie boy.... just being cute!

Russ... listening to baby!

The Hammock... It's a trap! Me, Matt and the dogs all curled up together on it the other day to try it out and just like that, an hour was gone...POOF! This thing shoud have come with a warning..."you are getting very sleepy". It sure is beautiful though. Matt is so good. Wait 'till you see his next project.

OH BOY !

I mentioned a while back that I thought it would be fun to have a hammock in the backyard.... the above picture is my oh so loving husband slaving away to make me a custom one!!! I cant wait. This June when I am HUGE and swollen and tired... you will know where to find me.

"Logan's" (a name we are thinking of) closet is slowly filling up. Yes, those are little fire boots on the floor!! So stinkin' cute.

We are in week 21 now and Matt and I FINALLY felt him kick a couple of days ago. Just like that he went from merely a ''belly bump" to a tiny little person. Sometimes he is moving so much, I would swear he is building a fort in there. I wonder where he gets it from? I love it!!

5 Month

Here you go Shelly. She was not happy, but I told her I was BIGGER... Matt

HaHa... I just got out of the shower and was attacked by Matt and the camera, funky hair and all.

It's a Boy!!!!

We couldn't be happier to be expecting a little boy. It all feels so real now. When we were leaving the appointment we were both like two giddy little kids waiting for christmas to arrive, discussing what we would do with our new gift and what he would be like... We are both loving it! As for that picture, I took it, as promised, on the FIRST OF THE MONTH. I never made any promises about actually posting the picture on time. Lets just say that "things" have already changed for the bigger!! Sorry mom for waiting soooooo long, you know me and I blame it all on you. LOL.

As for the other pictures... One is our "Oh so trusting" dog Odie sound asleep. We were getting ready to go to bed and I picked him up to put him in his bed an realized he was out. We'll see if he stays this relaxed when his little brother arrives and shows him what little boys are made of. The top picture is Matts latest project. He fixed our closet so that we could actually use all of it. It might not look like much but he had to repair the drywall, retexture, paint, change out the light, and then hang new shelves. He is so good. I love it!!

Around the house...

OK JASON, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU !!
Months (and months) ago, I took the fan blades off the fan over the table to paint the celing. Until today, the fan motor, lights and blue painters tape remained on the celing to my brother-in-law, Jason's dismay. He threatens to take it down every time he stays with us and this last visit the old dusty brass half fan seemed to cause him far too much anxiety. So in honor of Jason... the new light is finally up and the old is respectably where it belongs, in a box waiting for him. Just kidding. I kinda miss the dusty brass!!

Russ and Odie just wanted to drop in and say "Hi". They had sooo much fun with Jake, Grace and Casidy the past few days despite their occasional emotional outbursts ( the dogs that is, not the kids!!)

13 Weeks Pregnant

I CAN GROW PEOPLE! WHATs YOUR SUPER POWER?

This stage of pregnancy is a funny thing. As you can see, I look like I could use a few quality sit ups. To the untrained eye that wee bitty bump is merely a layer of fat!! No one has sympathy for a normal person retching and gaging in public. Its just not fair! I am going to attempt to fit into the same outfit the first of every month and laugh as my clothes get smaller and smaller. I will post it so you all can laugh with me (notice how I said WITH, not AT). Russ and Odie have no idea that their perfect little doggie lives are about to come to a screeching halt. We have tried to explain it to them but something tells me they just don't get it. Until next post... TTFN.
