Guess where we're moving this spring?

For the Love of the Spine

Eric has been trying to figure out what to do with his life for the past few months. He loves real estate but feels like something is missing. After lots of prayers, the answer finally came, and he is going to be a chiropractor. I was so surprised when he told me, but we are both really excited to have a goal and a plan. So a minimum of 5 more years of school ahead and a move to a new state for at least 4 of them will be in our future, something never before anticipated. I just keep being reminded, you never know what the Lord has in store!

An undercover B-day

We threw a spy theme birthday party for Eric's mom. We all picked a disguise out of a bag to wear for the night.

Can you guess who's who?

Agent Five Finger Discount

Agent Zorro and Agent Beatle JuiceAgent CherAgent Rasputin

Agent Sweet Sixteen

P.S. I can't sleep! Do you see the time? WHY?!?! It's been like this for weeks. Did anyone else have this problem during pregnancy?

Who loves the in-law?

Eric's family was so sweet! We made a quick trip to Ceder City for a family reunion and his extended family threw me a little baby shower. It's feels so good to be loved!

Thanks but no thanks!

Thank you to everyone who tried to help me figure out the whole baby bedding thing, but I realized I asked your opinion too early. I am going to keep brain storming and I will post pictures of my final ones for you to see, so no need to vote unless you want to. I am just not sold on any of these. So wish me luck as I let the wheels keep on turning in my crazy head.

The Baby Bedding Blues

Eric's mom and I are making the baby bedding for our little December visitor. It's up to me to design it, but I have never done this before and I am getting so frustrated. So here are a few of my ideas, of course they will look a little different in person, but you get the idea. Please give me your honest opinion and let me know which ones you like or if I need to start over.

#1 This is just a blanket.

Vote on a blanket and a crib set that you like together. Thanks!

#2 Another blanket#3 The pink around the edges on all of these is satin.

It just looks weird as a picture.#4 #5

This is idea of I want all of the skirts to look like. I am just not good enough on the computer to figure out how to make my designs not an exact square.

Thanks for your help everyone!!!! The poles are open :)

Putting the "F U" back in fun!!

So the wife asked me (threatened me) if I would write a little somethin' on our blog. Three weeks ago we made the trek to Thatcher for a long over do slumber party. First of all I just want to post my record time of 1 hour and 52 minutes from Chandler to Thatcher. We were supposed to go camping on Mt Graham and pick apples and snuggle. But the rain gods weren't kind to us and we had to settle for a pajama party. I was gitty with boyish glee to be reunited with Lorin and Troy, my best brosephs. So I wasn't too sad to not get to snuggle on Mt. Graham. That night we went to Walmart and Brittany had one of her episodes. As we were waiting for Katy (Lorin's wife) a very strange, circus-like lady stood in front of us. I guess what happened was she, not knowing Britt was watching, full out picked her wedgie. Which sent Brittany into a scary laughing fit. So much so that she commanded the attention of all who were in the check out lines and the front of the store. Fueled by the ladies embarrassing look and Troy's laughter, she got even Louder. That's when I had to step in and I jump kicked her in her diaphragm to quiet her. But that just made the sound go up an octave. I was about to go for the windpipe when she just decided to go in the bathroom to get control over herself. Sadly this happens a lot and its too bad we don't have a picture of the lady.

Well the next day we went to some creek/stream to play. We brought some floaties with us and it was pretty fun. Brittany got stuck going through the rapids and lost a flip flop, but luckily there was a handsome and brave man that saved her flop and helped her safely down the rapids. But whats a fun day at the river without a flat tire!? An hour and a half later and we were on our way, thanks independent suspension for letting us change a tire for an hour and a half!

The only thing that would of made the trip better, would be if the rest of my buddies could have come too. So eat your hearts out Houston and Amron.

PS enjoy the picks

PPS no I do not shave my chest, Brittany's prayers get answered over mine!!
