The Ultrasound!

These are side views. The baby has its arm up touching its nose in the top picture :) It was moving around a lot! We decided to not find out the sex of the baby, so it will be a big surprise when we deliver in January. I'm 20 weeks...so halfway there!!

Amanda and Aaron's Wedding

My sister and Aaron were married on July 29, 2007. We are so happy for them!! Their wedding was beautiful! The start of their marriage couldn't have gone better :)

Kyle's Prehistoric Monster

Kyle, Aaron's brothers and their dad went fishing the day after Amanda and Aaron's wedding. They went below the damm at Kaw Lake near Ponca City and Kyle pulled this huge paddlefish out with just a normal spin rod on just 17 lb line! They had a scale that went up to 50 lbs with them, but this fish maxed it out because it weighed more than that. It took about 40 minutes to land the fish. This is the biggest fish he's ever caught!

Our Anniversary

We celebrated our anniversary last weekend! We went out to dinner at Pearl's Lakeside, a nice seafood restaurant on the lake. Kyle's friend from work is the singer in a band that was playing on the deck, so we ate and listened to them play for the evening. We were on the east wharf so we watched the sun set, it was a really nice night! AND, the next morning we made waffles...Yum-O!

1st Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound! Our doctor says everything looks good. It was so cool to hear the heartbeating and see the little baby moving around!! You can see little legs and arms already. Kyle was sitting in a chair and immediatly stood up when he heard it, and his smile couldn't have gotten any bigger. It was exciting!!

Home Improvements

We have been constantly changing things in our new home!! We've been lucky to have a lot of help of from family and friends, which has made things go a little smoother. We finally got our refridgerator delivered and I was also able to put our dishes and kitchen stuff away.

Here's a list of what we've done so far:
-Removed all the popcorn ceiling texture, retextured and painted the ceilings
-Put new tile down in our kitchen and utility room
-Put in hardwood floors in our living room, entry way and hallways
-Painted walls in master bedroom, kitchen, hallways, entry way, and living room
-Sanded, primed and painted all the workwork and trim (a pretty summer white color)
-Cleaned up the backyard (took out an old dog run fence and a huge grape vine growing on it)

What we're working on now:
-Sanding all the kitchen cabinents and drawers to get ready to be painted, in the same summer white color as the trim.
-Painting the spare bathroom (I'm ready to get rid of the ugly mauve color that's in there now!!)

What we're thinking about for the future:
-A nursery!
-A master bath entire remodel
