St. Louis

This weekend we went down to St. Louis for a wedding Scott was in. It took over 5 hours to get down there, so luckily Jerad and Jacque went with us too to keep us company! My mom came up and stayed with Kayla at our house. I don't think she would have liked being in a car for that long, she had way more fun playing with Grandma. It was a nice weekend trip, but man was I tired Sunday night!




We stayed at Ameristar Hotel and Casino, overlooking the "Mighty Mississippi". It was HUGE. I think it was probably the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in. They had tons of restaurants and shops and of course a casino in it. I had to take a picture of our room too so Scott can make me a bathroom like this one some day :-)








Silly faces...

6 Years

Holy cow! Six years?!? Yep, Scott and I just celebrated our 6 year anniversary on September 17th. Hard to beleive it has been that long since our wedding day. My mom was up this past weekend so we were able to go out to dinner alone. Granted I probably wasn't the best date since I'm easing into eating "normal" food again. sigh... We have been through a lot together and have been fortunate to get to go on vacations and spend time together just the two of us. I think it has really helped make us closer and he is my best friend. I am so excited to be starting the next chapter of our lives by having Kayla and another baby on the way, but I would never take back that time that we got to spend just the two of us. After kids its not the same, but they are so worth it all too! Thanks for being a great husband and father! oh, and for always putting up with me, especially when I'm pregnant. I know i'm not the easiest to live with when i'm pregnant, but I will pay you back in March. I promise ;-)

I love you! Happy Anniversary!

Tired Nelly

Here's a funny pic of Nelly sleeping in the doll basinet while KJ colors.

*** Today Kayla told me that she had a baby in her tummy. She said it was her baby brother and her baby sister was in Mommy's tummy. (We need to find out soon what this baby is, poor girl is so confused!)

Baby #2

We are expecting Baby #2! I am 14 weeks along and due March 10th. I had my first appointment at 9 weeks and you could already see the baby's head, arms, and legs forming. We could also see the baby flipping around but of course I couldn't feel it yet. It's amazing how fast they develop. Kayla is SOOO excited to be a big sister. When we told her Mommy was going to have a baby she said, "Where is the baby? I want to see it!" Then she started crying because we told her the baby was too little to come out now. She asked if I could TRY to get it out. lol. She has learned now that Mommy's tummy has to get bigger before the baby can come. So every day she tells me my tummy is getting bigger. I tell her to be careful around my belly so whenever she is sitting with me she asks, "Am I hurting my baby??" She loves rubbing my tummy and asks me if she can "pet" the baby. It's so funny. I think she will be a great big sister and an awesome helper! She is already telling me what all we need to do when the baby cries. And how she is going to teach the baby how to eat and brush their teeth like her! She is so funny and I can't wait to see her with "her baby”.

I have posted some of the pics I took of my friend Ashley's kids. They are the little cuties in the album titled "Davin, Sophia, Ben"
