The Very Few and Very Rare Pictures of Me!!!!

Well, here they are. A few have asked about them and my Mom finally insisted on taking a few pictures of me. I am feeling good but tired. The doctor thinks that I might be a little low on iron so I have been trying to take my iron supplement. My next doctor's appointment is this next Thursday. I will be 34 weeks and may be able to have another ultra-sound to see how big the baby is. Just a few more weeks. For all my friends in Tennessee, we will be visiting for the Youth Congress in July and Lindsey should be about three weeks old. She already has special clothes for her visit and can't wait to meet you all.

Welcome to the family, Stephanie!!!!!!

On April 12, 2008 my cousin Peter married a great girl, Stephanie. My mom and I were able to host a family wedding shower for her at my MorMor's house. We all had a great time of fun, food and games. We played bridal gift bingo and a memory game with a twist. Here are a few pictures of the shower.Here is the cake. It was the same yummy cake that we had at my wedding. Yellow cake, raspberry filling and Half and Half icing. It's our new favorite.
The food: Veggie tray, sandwiches, chips and drinks. You can't have great party without great food.

Mom made the towel cake. It was so cute. A Lady did this at my wedding shower and it makes a great gift and table center piece.

Spring Break Get-a-way!!!!!!

Over Spring Break we were able to take a few days to get a way!! We really didn't go very far, we just went into Idaho but we were able to get a really good price on a hotel. We walked around some little shops, went to the new Cabala's, ate lunch at our favorite Bistro shop. We spent some time at the hotel resting and watching a movie. We ate dinner at the Outback Steak House. It was a great time of rest and relaxation.

This was a shooting range like you were hunting. The guns have lasers and you are basically shooting at the little red dots. The have a bear, dear, and lots of other things that do neat stuff when you shoot them. We had a great time shooting these guns. The pictures turned out a little darker then I wanted but I think that you get the idea.

Car Sticker

For the longest time I have wanted to get those family stickers that you put on your car. Well, I had only seen the ones that were white until I was checking my friends blog. She had the cutest stickers with color in them. Thank you Leah, for the great website!!! This was the proof and the only thing that is different is that I did not get the crown on my head. I thought that I was choosing the face so I had the company remove the crown and then you have the stickers that are now on the back of my car. Hey!!!!

Date Night!!!!

At our School Sports Auction we were able to purchase a gift certificate to The Old Spaghetti Factory. It was a fun night out on the town.

Rain, Snow and Hail!!

Well, I don't have any pictures but I just thought that I would let you all know about the crazy weather that we have been having. Spring in the Northwest can be a crazy thing. In the last few days we have had rain, snow, sleet and hail. The latest snow we had was just yesterday. Well, trying not to have a bad attitude, I was thinking of all the reasons that snow this late would be a great thing...Maybe we will be able to have camp fires this year because it would not be so dry, there will be more water in the streams and lakes for a hot summer, and so on. Well, we are right in the middle of the Mission Conference at our church and we have had an interesting opportunity to have four national pastors here. They are from Haiti, Burma, Kenya and Indonesia and are all part of the H.E.L.P Ministry. We also had the opportunity to see our friends Jeremy and Amanda Tyler and their boys. We knew the Tylers at Temple Baptist Church and Crown College and also the Johnson Family who are going to South Africa. Last night at our International Dinner we found out the very best reason that God sent us snow as late as yesterday...Three out of the four national pastors had never seen snow before. They were very cold but what a neat thing for them to get to see snow. This helps all of us Spokanites who are sick of the cold weather and snow to be a little more thankful for the plan of God even in the weather. This week is Spring Break so I am excited that we will get rest and my plan is to get the nursery all ready for Lindsey. Hopefully by the end of the week we will be ready to take and post some pictures of the finished product. That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!!!
