3 Weeks Old & Baby Shower

My baby boy is already 3 weeks old. Everyone always says how fast times goes, and how your babies grow up so fast, but I really didn't think it could possibly go THIS fast!! It's so fun to watch Haylen grow, he smiles more every day, and is so focused when you talk to him. I have started to read to him and he loves it, he listens to every word I say!!

We had our baby shower on October 10th and it was so much fun. Ryan's sister and mom put it on for us and they did such a great job. They made so much yummy food, that was all decorated in blue and white complete with cupcakes, cookies, fruits, dips, and much more yummy stuff!! Samantha was so creative with the games that we played, anybody who knows me knows that I LOVE playing games, and one of my favorites is Cranium (if you haven't played this one go buy it,....you'll love it!) Well Sam put together "baby Cranium" where all the clues she had made up to be baby themed. It was so much fun, and so clever!! The whole day was awesome, and of course Haylen and I got more then spoiled with all the gifts that everyone brought!! Thanks so much for everything guys!!

Haylen Thomas

I"M A MOMMY!!!!

Finally all my dreams have come true and its even better then I could have ever expected. On September 22nd our beautiful baby boy blessed us with his arrival. Haylen Thomas was born at 11:12 pm, weight 7 lbs 9 Oz and was 21 1/2 Inches long.....perfect size if ya ask me. After a crazy labour and deliverly (I'll post the story later when I have more time) I couldn't be more thrilled to be a mommy. Here are a few pictures my handsome lil man!!

My New/Old Chairs

Since cooking, cleaning, organizing, cleaning, laundry, cleaning, dishes and more cleaning haven't kept me busy enough I finally had the time do reupholster my nasty kitchen chairs. They were white and discusting stained with foreign gunk, so I decided to spruce them up and re cover them in black!!!! I hate to toot my own horn but I LOVE the way they turned out so TOOT TOOT!!

Before & After

OH LA LA!!

3 Years & Counting

It couldn't have possibly been 3 years already could it!?!? Its true, time flies when your having fun!! On August 27th, 2009 Ryan and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary!!! This year to celebrate we packed up a picnic and headed out to the lake that Ryan took me to the very first time I came up to visit. It was perfect, we were the only two out there and enjoyed each others company, a great meal, and some fake wine. I must say this was defiantly one of my favorite ways that we have celebrated yet!!

37 Weeks Pregnant!!!

You may also be thinking "wow what great pictures that camera took!!" ...welll...thats because for my 24th birthday Ryan bought me my dream Nikon camera!!! Aahhhh I love how that guy spoils me. I couldn't have ever asked for a more perfect boy

Its About Time

Wow its been nearly 2 months since my last post!! I hate how fast time goes by in the summer!! We have been so busy with weddings, camping, work and just life!! My best Friend Sandy got married on June 20th, and I have to say, BEST WEDDING EVER!!! We had so much fun, their wedding was very laid back and just went with the flow of everything, it was perfect, and Sandy looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! Ryan's Cousin Stacey got married on June 13th as well, so we headed back home, for 2 weeks and enjoyed family, friends, and many good times!! I don't have any good pictures posted yet of how beautiful both brides were but trust me, they were both stunning!! Other exciting news is that I am officially done working now, actually my last day of work was May 26th, and I have been enjoying the home life so much!! I am so thankful for Ryan for working so hard, to let me be able to stay home and get everything ready for our little babe to come!! I still had 3 months to go when I quit working, but we both decided that I would take the summer off to enjoy time together just the two of us while we still could!! The nursery is coming along slowly....We have ordered all our furniture for in there, and we are still in the middle of painting but once it is all done it is going to look great!!! I am also 30 weeks Pregnant ALREADY!!! I can't believe how fast this is going!! I can't wait to hold our baby and have him home with us, but at the same time I LOVE being pregnant and don't ever want it it end!! I guess that it is a good thing that there is still 10 weeks left since we need that time to come up with a stink'n name still!!! Agh, who knew naming a baby would be so hard!! I have a few names that I love the only problem is, is that Ryan doesn't seem to like any of my suggestions!! So any of you who read my blog feel free to post any suggestions that you have cuz we need all the help we can get!!

Puppies

Happy Birthday Kalla!!! On May 1st, 2009 our little baby puppy turned one!! Most people think its ridiculous how much I love my doggy's but I don't care, they are my little babies and I treat them like that. We have 2 Beagles, Harley (the mommy) and Kalla (the baby) and 1 Malteese named Thor. I always knew I wanted a beagle so when I was finally ready for one, Harley came to me in the most perfect way, that she was truly meant to be mine!! I also always knew that one day I would like to bread her and have some puppies. Well Harley gave birth to 7 beautiful little puppies who were born on May 1st, 2008!! What an experience that was!! To sum it up it was the funniest, hardest, most emotional, happiest, thing I have ever gone through and I can't wait to do it again!! We ended up with 2 brown beagles which were pretty uncommon since both the mommy and daddy were black, white and brown. They were so cute, we fell in love with the little brown girl and ended up keeping here!! I took couldn't get enough of the little guys, and took like a million pictures all the puppies, so here are Harley's lil angels
