Baby Room Rocker!

On New Year's day Bryan and myself decided to spend grandma and grandpa Bradshaw's gift cards that we got for Christmas! We bought a glider for the baby's room and trunks to go in our guest room! Thank you grandma and grandpa, we love and miss you!

Merry CHRISTmas Morning!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Here we are in all our Christmas morning glory! Stoney our old roomie stayed the night and spent Christmas with us! Thank you all for the gifts!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a little different for Bryan and myself this year. Our church, Estrella Falls Baptist is too small to hold Christmas Eve services and our church also shares its pastor with Avondale Baptist Church. We attended Christmas Eve services at the Avondale Church where we only knew a few people. Very different from last year at North Phoenix. Bryan and I enjoyed our last Christmas Eve with just the two of us. Next year we'll be three and Christmas probably won't be as quiet. Later that night Stoney our roommate from last year came over. We ate and watched a movie before heading to bed.

Friends and Family at Christmas

These are pictures of my friend Michelle and her baby Aiden. Michelle and Jeff live in Kalispell, MT. The top picture is of my cousin Janie and her husband Jeremy during Christmas in Lander, Wyoming where his family lives.

It would feel more like Christmas if we had SNOW!!

Well it's almost that time of year again-CHRISTMAS!!! Last night Bryan and I helped our church put on a free movie for our community called The Nativity. We didn't have very many new visitors but we did have some. I pray they return for service this morning.

We're not able to go home to Montana/Wyoming for Christmas this year. We're trying to talk our families into coming down next year since we'll have a little one but I think a Christmas without below zero temps and no snow would be a HUGE adjustment for them. We'll see.

Monday we'll be seven months pregnant! We can't believe how fast the time has gone by. The other night the baby had hiccups, what a weird sensation! His/her kicks and jabs are becoming more fierce and this is leading me to believe that the baby has our athletic ability!

Decorating for Christmas

Merry Christmas!

The day after Thanksgiving I cracked a bottle of Apple Cider and decorated the Christmas tree. Later that night Bryan arrived home to add his ornaments to our third Arizona Christmas tree!

Congratulations Lindsey and Chad

Congratulations to my best friend Lindsey Crawford who will be married this July to her amazing fiance Chad! Love you both!

Happy Thanksgiving

I hope everyone enjoyed a day filled with friends, family, and of course great food! I know Bryan and myself did. We had our favorite roommate Stoney over along with Scott & Stephanie Chism and James & Neely Brown our friends from NPBC. They traveled from all over the Valley of the Sun to share Thanksgiving with us. After stuffing ourselves and cleaning up we relaxed to the football game and "Black Friday" shopping ads. Later pumpkin cheesecake and pecan pie was enjoyed by all! To end our holiday Scott destroyed us in a game of BALDERDASH! We are thankful for our friends who are our family here in Arizona. We love you all!

Baby's 1st Decor

Well it's official, the baby's room has something in it! It's so hard to know how to decorate for an unidentified gender! Bryan and I picked out some stuff for our baby registry at BabiesRus and decided to go with the ABC's to decorate the baby's room. Or I guess I did. I wanted decor that would fit in with our old western look and the ABC stuff wasn't in bright primary colors, more antiqued reds, blues, greens, ect. like th rest of our house. Anyway it's a start, hopefully by the time the baby arrives we'll have a crib!

Monday is six months!

Well I am definitely having trouble getting out of bed, tying shoes, and exercising at the same intensity. I started going to a cycle class on Saturdays which I enjoy more than killing myself on the elliptical. Bryan has become an amazing back and belly scratcher! This week was the first time he could feel the baby move! "Whoa, whoa, whoa," was his reaction. As you can see from the picture Buzz is pretty amazed by it all too!
