Happy Birthday Dad!

I pity the fool who doesn't say Happy Birthday to you!

Ok, just kidding...but really, Happy Birthday, I hope you have a nice day, don't spend it all at work!

We love you!

Home Touches

I saw a gallery in a magazine a few months ago and we decided to do a modified version for our house.

We bought all the frames while we still lived in the hotel and yesterday I finally picked the photos I wanted to use. We got them printed and put them up tonight. I have to say, I LOVE it! There is something fun about a gallery...and something even more fun when all the photos are your own.

Before...all the paper in the hallway is courtesy of Benjamin.


No half-butt jobs in this house.

Hanging out...or caged in...

Hanging up the last one! And btw Em, those are different red pants...
After!I just have to add, the 11x14 on the top, of Benjamin is my favorite. The enlargement is so beautiful.
The guy at the print shop said, "I love this one, it's so sincere. Kudos. Oh, and congrats on the pregnancy, it looks like you're excited." He added while waving the one of Ben touching my belly around. Maybe a little inappropriate, but amusing either way.

Game ON!

Ok....Friday night used to be date night...but Richard and I hit up the 12:45pm matinee of HSM3 today. We took Benjamin with us. It was his first time to the movie theater. He was absolutely amazing, I might add...even danced to a few of the spectacular songs.

We loved HSM and HSM2, now HSM3 has joined the ranks of our favorite movies. If you like theatrical productions of song and dance, I highly recommend it. It's a wholesome, fun movie, and we're looking forward to learning all the songs.

We're juvenile...we don't care. :-D

Thursday Already?

I spoil you people with my frequent updates...

Actually...I haven't been feeling that great. I've been extremely tired, a little nauseous, headaches, back pain...Nothing fun, but all of what I experienced in my third trimester with Benjamin.

I'll admit it, I've been pretty lame the past week...maybe the past three weeks. Bible study and church are pretty much my only outings of the week.

It is not uncommon for Richard to come home at 5pm to find me without a shower and still in my pajamas.

Atleast the house is still clean. :-/

Anyway. There isn't anything interesting to talk about, so enough!

First Family Pumpkin Carving :)

**Edit** I was too tired last night..but I'll add some captions now...We decided to sketch our designs first. We used dry erase markers and they worked pretty well. Benjamin was excited at first but only lasted about an hour before he was whining to go to bed. It was only 8:30!
This is some serious carving.
Yes, Em, a plastic knife, I checked, it can't cut you.

Richard was unable to get the precision cuts he wanted because his pumpkin was too thick. He got out his drill and said, "I'm a genius!" He continues to keep me laughing.
The finished products! :)

30 Weeks!

Hopefully in 10 weeks or less a new baby will be here! Above is me 30 weeks pregnant with Ben...I think I looked a little better then!

Today, after church, we did a front yard family photo shoot. My favorite. We used the trashcan for a tripod...even though I actually do have a tripod. Anyway....I've posted my favorites.

Haha...I love him.


My new favorite mommy and Ben picture. :)

Richard likes to make me pose...here I think it looks like a basketball under my shirt.

Aww, love this one too, I made it black and white though so you wouldn't be too blinded by the sight of my skin.
The End!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
