Happy Birthday Brian!!

Today is Brian's 28th birthday! Unfortunately we are both working today and he is bowling tonight so not much celebrating going on today. His birthday treat even has to wait until tomorrow...I know, such a bad wife I am! He did get spoiled on Sunday though and I did surprise him and we are going with Josh and Bobbie Jo to the Pistons game next weekend so we will do a lot of celebrating then!

A Big Heart

Well for one day we had a Nintendo Wii. Someone from Brian's work found a couple and let Brian buy one. On Saturday we had talked about how much my cousin was looking for one and on our way to church on Sunday Brian got the call that he had one. Then our sermon was about sharing and then Brian was showered with birthday gifts that he had a big enough heart to bring it to my cousin last night and surprise her. He sure made her day! I told him in a month or so if he still wants one he can gladly go buy one....I have a feeling a big TV might be part of the deal too. :o) We have enough friends that have them so we will just have to play theirs for now. God has truly blessed us with so many things in life that we will be just fine without at Wii.

Brian's Birthday

Yesterday we had both of our families over to celebrate Brian's birthday (it is on the 30th). The girls had a lot of fun helping Uncle Brian open his gifts, blow out his candles, and taking him outside with all the neighbor girls to slide down the hill on our snow tubes.

Babysitting

I had to add some pictures of our newest little neighbor girl, Sydney. She is 3 months old. Brian and I got to babysit her Friday night. The more practice the better! Sydney enjoyed watching the Pistons with Brian.

More projects

We'll I hope this is the last of our projects before the baby comes. My dad and Brian's mom came last week to help paint our walls going downstairs and one of the walls in the living room. It sure adds some color to the house and I think it looks great. Good thing we each have a parent that likes to paint! And they both did a GREAT job! Brian and Lucky were great supervisors as you can see.

Now Brian's deer is much more comfortable in his natural camouflage environment.

Week 30 here we come!

I had a Dr.'s appt. today and all went well. I measured right on track and the baby's heartbeat was 140 so it went down a little from last time. And of course, I gained a few more pounds. Guess that's all part of pregnancy! The doctor could feel where the baby was and he said he or she was in a good position. I made the doctor guess what we were having and he said he doesn't like to guess until 36 weeks but he thinks it may be a boy. So we will see in 10 weeks!

(sorry I couldn't resist adding the picture...don't you just want to squeeze those rolls!?)

Curtains

I know I have mentioned it before but I do have one of the best friends ever. Jen made me these curtains for my birthday. We have had them up for a while but just took pics of them. These are in our living room. She made pillows to match too. We are going to paint some walls the green color this weekend so we shall see how it looks...I am kind of nervous but our house needs a little color. I couldn't believe how much the curtains added to our living room. Thursday Jen came over with the curtains for the nursery. Are they not adorable? She also made a cushion for the rocking chair and pillows for the crib. I am so excited about them. Now Brian has her working on some curtains for the kitchen. :o) She self taught herself everything and it blows me away. Between her and Tim they could start their own business! Thanks for being such great friends you guys....you know Brian and I couldn't do half of what you guys do!
