Happy Halloween!!!

Nana bought Arian the cutest outfit so we just had to go get some photos taken. :)
Along with her girlfriends Lucy Schuler (Erica's daughter) and Lacy Schilmiller (Jamie's daughter).

Arian 3 months pictures

We decided to get family pictures taken with Arian's 3 months photos. They turned out soooo good. We are very pleased and believe it or not, Arian was actually quit fussy shortly after the first two family pictures were taken. She gave us a few good smiles though.

Play Date w/Jamie and Lacy

What a fun day. The girls are becoming so entertaining when we get together and it is just so funny. Arian and Lacy may be 3 months apart in age but they are going to be such great friends. We ate lunch at Jamie's then played with the girls and went for a walk. Arian visited all of her grandparents on Stiller Rd. as well.

Photo Fun

Arian was in such a good mood we decided to have a little photo shoot at home the other morning. We don't need no professional. hahaha we can improvise and come up with our own ideas of what to use. She was such a champ about being good. I have not played in Photoshop in a good while but i think i did a pretty good job getting some color out. She is such a cutie. :)

Arian Growing Up

Last night Arian slept in her big bed for the first time. i guess i have a bunch of catching up to do though since she is a month old now and the last time i was on here i was 2 weeks out from her due date. She was born on June 25th, 8.2lbs 20in long, perfectly healthy. Sleeps better than we could imagine, eats like a monster, and hardly fusses unless she is hungry. I could not ask for a better child!! She has us both wrapped around her finger.

Movin right along. Only 2 weeks to go till the baby's due date and i am ready!! The room is done and just needs a baby to complete it. I am ready and i am pretty sure Chris is as well.

Time to Count Down

Well, it is def. getting close to the time we have been waiting for for quite a few months now. Only 4 weeks and a few days left until the planned due date. Let's hope the little one is ready by Father's day b/c i seriously do not know what i will do if our bundle of joy decides to hang out longer than we plan. I am just to anxious and gaining to much weight that must be 90% baby b/c my dr. keeps mentioning it but saying nothing about me watching it. Oh boy or girl, you better not be to much work to get out. hehehe I am anxiously waiting to cut back on work time and eventually be at home with my bundle of joy. Summer is on it's way in and the pools are opening. Anyone looking for a pool date give me a call, i have a pool place and open days!!!! :)

Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe 2009

One last family trip for Chris and I as just husband and Wife. We went with my parents and brother plus Melissa to Lake Tahoe in Feb.. and it was very pretty. A little cold but nice.

This is the whole group while snowmobiling. It was so much fun. Kind of a mix between 4-wheeling and jet skiing. The view of the lake from the top of the mountain amazing.

One day we drove to San Fransisco California to see the Golden Gate Bridge and To Muir Woods to see the HUGE ever greens. it was a nice drive and great trip.

Chris & I in front of the Golden Gate Bridge.

It was a neat thing to see.

Mom & Dad at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Chris just had to stand next to the biggest tree in Muir Woods to show just how big it is. AMAZING!!

This was on top the mountain behind our condo. We decided to go hiking one day to the top to see the Lake from above.

One Day we took a boat across the lake to see the famous Emerald Bay. It was a nice ride with plenty of drinks and a little food. A nice day to out in the sun and enjoy the Lake.

Chris decided to Ski one day. I choose to skip the skiing and shop. It was a great day for both.

The last evening we were there we went to the beach at the end of our road and watched the sun set behind the big mountains.

Making Headway

Now at 24 weeks along, things are starting to look prego with my body. hehehe It is so fun to experience the joys of being pregnant and all the stuff that comes with it. Counting down the days and excited to get things rolling. Our last vacation as just a couple is coming up and after that we will only have Family Vacations!! Yeah! i am so excited. i have been obsessed with making blankets and birp cloths for my friends and myself. The next phase will probably be organizing and cleaning freak. Oh well, bring it on!!!

Winter 08/09

What a pretty show after all the havock it created. I finally got to get out and take some pictures while the sun was up, wish i could have gotten more and better ones but it was still to chili to be out to long. Even though we were with out electric for 5 days, it sure made for a pretty scene with all the ice and snow on the trees glistning in the sun. We are still working on our roof to get the ice off so it does not damage our hot tub, deck, or outside heater unit when it does fall. Today will be the big test to see how much slides or thaws with the warmer weather. Here are a few shots i took around our home.

Half Down, Last Half to Go

Half way and to excited to contain it!!!



This past Saturday marked my half way point and WOW this baby is starting to do some gymnastics. I have been feeling it more and more moving around and doing who knows what. Chris said last night, 'you know our baby will be hipper, since i can not sit still.' Well, i am getting a taste of it already. I am finally releasing myself to officially start getting things ready for this baby. We got some stuff moved out of the spare room and some shelves hung in the closet so i should be good to go. My little list is growing and believe me it kills me to be at work all day when i could be home organizing and re-arranging all our junk!! Wow, we can collect clutter fast. All is good in the baby world though and when she/he gets here, i will be more than ready!!

18W5D & Counting

I had my half way ultra sound today and it was simply amazing. The last one we had was at only 6 weeks along and there was nothing but a black spot. Really is that a baby? Today there was no question about it. We could see the arms, legs, spinal cord, head, eyes, nose, mouth, feet, fingers and many bones creating our little miracle. Simply Amazing. The Dr. said everything looks great, there should not be a need for any more ultra sounds from here out, just visits to keep tabs on how everything is going and listen to the heart beat. We might have one more ultra sound later on but more than likely if all else goes well there shall not be a need for one. The end of this month will be my half way mark and boy or girl am i ready!! I took my mom to Baby World (Babies-R-Us) the other night and she could not get over all the fun exciting new stuff. She bought my baby bedding and is determined to decorate and repaint our spare room that will be the nursery, i said go right ahead and have a fun time. She wants to shut the door and not let me in until she is done. My best friend Sarah is helping her so i know between the two it will be the most outragious room in the house!! i am trying to hold my self off from registering until early Feb. but i hate to not get things done when i think of them, i like to do it now and enjoy it later. I can be a slacker on somethings but mainly i am on top of it. Do it now while it is fresh on the mind. Somethings need to wait though.
