Happy Halloween!!

To think this time next year we will hopefully have a cute little 6 month old to dress up! :0)
I love a great costume for kids and pets. I put Rory's hot dog costume on her over the weekend, so much fun, she didn't even fight me to put it on, she's knows its great too!! I stole these pics from my sister's facebook, my nieces are always impressive with their creative idea's for Halloween, I remember what made a good costume for me and my sis was if we could spray our hair a crazy color, I am glad to see the tradition is living on:

This year we have Super Chloe and Grapes:

A legacy of love...

This weekend Ryan and I traveled to Kirksville, Mo to celebrate my grandparent's 60th wedding anniversary. What a tremendous gift it is the legacy all 4 sets of our grandparents have given us to all have marriages that have lasted 50+ years.

Here's how cute they were on their wedding day:

And still cute 60 years later:

Baby Celebration with Friends.

Last Sunday night we went out with friends to Texas Road House to celebrate our baby news. My sis-in-law Amy made these cute little pink & blue m&m treats for everyone. It was really just a great excuse to get the crew together. We all went to OC together and have remained close since. Friends are such a wonderful blessing. One of my favorite quotes I have in my office at work is "Friends are the family we choose". I love my family family and my friend family, I am so thankful for the blessing they are in my life and will be in our child's life too!

Goodbye first tri-mester!

Well its funny how in the beginning the weeks are just creeping by when your holding this secret in and now its like where did the time already go! Today marks the first day of the 2nd tri-mester! I think it will be time in the next few weeks to do some maternity clothes shopping. So far everything still fits, which is nice and since I've been sick a lot I've not actually gained weight yet.

Heath got Hitched!

Last weekend Ryan and I were in Tulsa for my cousin Heath's wedding. Its was a very sweet wedding and we enjoyed participating in the festivities. Heath and his wife met at my brother's wedding several years ago. Okay get out your family tree diagram, Heath is our first cousin and his wife is Lori's first cousin (my sister-in-law) but no worries Heath and Brook are in fact not cousins, so its all good.

The married couple and their first dance:
