Girl or Boy????

I went in to the Dr. for my 20 week ultrasound to see what we were having. According to Doug, he has always said a boy. The closer I got to my appointment, the more I kinda thought it was a girl. Well we did the ultrasound and we are having a baby...........................


We are both very excited about this new edition that will be joining our family oddly enough on April Fool's Day. We have a first name picked out, but are stuck on a middle name. Maybe I'll put up a poll of the names I've come up with and see which one gets the most votes. Who knows.

Birthdays

Two of my nieces had birthdays in the last few weeks. Can't believe how big they have gotten.

Loralei turned the big 1

Ms. Heidi turned 4.

Happy birthday girls. I miss and love ya! See ya in a few weeks.

Cali Trip

Earlier this year we did the "Disney give a day, get day" and received free Disneyland tickets. Doug's older sister Amy and her family did it as well and so we headed to California for a few days. We had a blast. We left on Wednesday. We went to Disneyland on Thursday, the beach all day on Friday, Saturday we went & saw Toy Story 3 (really cute), had lunch, did a little shopping, went down to Newport beach rode beach cruiser's down the boardwalk, played at the beach and then ate dinner at Bubba Gump's (not worth the money). Over all we had a blast and I can't wait to go back( even though I'm not a huge fan of Cali beaches, its a beach and the ocean so it will have to do. Here are some pics from our trip!!

This was Syd's facial expression every time I took a picture.

Syd was ready to boogie board. Just had to teach her first that you lay down on the board!

Christmas 2009

We got to spend Christmas this year in Georgia. I had a blast. I went earlier in the month so I could hang out with my family. Here are some pics from my trip home.

For Christmas this year, I decided instead of buying my neices and nephew toys, I would make them all quilts. I made a total of 5 quilts and managed to put a sewing machine needle through my finger, which required having my finger sliced opened to find the missing tip of the needle and getting 2 stitches. Here are pics of the quilts I made.

Doug was supposed to get to Georgia at 5 on Christmas Eve, but ended up missing his connecting flight in Dallas, due to weather. He ended up having to stay overnight in Dallas and catching the next available flight to Atlanta on Christmas Day. I'll have to admit, I missed not having him there.
