Holy Crap

I am the worst blogger ever! I am so bad at writing even when I have so many things to talk about! So I will start from the start of the end of June. Paul and I went to the Mariners game with Dave, Kenzie, Ali, Rob, Mike and Emily! OH and I can't forget my sweet baby May! It was an awesomely fun game! I really didn't pay that much attention to it all I did was Eat and EAt and EAT!!! It was awesome it was so delicious!
Plus we got to hang out with all the cousins and enjoy the nice weather we had for like two days here in Tacoma. And I got to play with my sweet baby May! Boy do I love that child! If Paul and I hadn't had a bun in the oven and I met May I would have told Paul it is time to start a family! LOL She is that cute! Game was good we lost and are still on our losing streak! ohh well! The next weekend we went to Portland with the family! We drove down to go to the St. Paul Rodeo and it was a blast I tried all the most amazing food there AGAIN! Paul had a fried twinkie and I had A FRIED SNICKERS! AMAZING!!!!!! THats my snickers sooo good I snarfed that things down sooo fast! The rodeo was a great time and it was nice to get out of Tacoma and actually get some sun shine! We all even got in the pool and got some color which was awesome because I have wanted to go swimming all summer long and it was finally warm enough to get in!! Portland was great we got to do a lot of fun things. We got our drivers license at Malibu Speed Track! It was huge go karts that were awesome! Kate was my little side kick and we rocked the track! It was a Blast! Relaxing in a hotel room and Rodeo it couldn't have been a better weekend! It only got better from there! We drove home on the 4th of July and got ready to hang out with Paul's family and Grandma and Grandpa's house to watch the air show over the sound and then head out to the gravel pit to set off fire works Dickson style. Which means a very unsafe style haha! It was such a beautiful day we were so lucky to have sun all day! We came home from our long weekend and Dexter was beyond excited to see us! Ashley can't love up on him like we can and he was more then happy to hang out with mom and dad for a litte bit! He spooned right next to Paul and they both passed out because Dang it we miss that dog when we leave! Aren't they so stinking darling! I love those two boys! After setting off the fire works at the gravel pit we boogied back over to the grandparents house and watched as the fire works went off over the sound! They were AWESOME and I had my sweet little Charlotte to keep me warm as well as Dexter! They were in love with each other! I love that he is getting a long with little kids so well! We had a great time watching the show and hanging out with family that was a 4th for the books a great time and SUN!!! After that my parents came into town the very next day! I know right I am the luckiest girl ever! They came down to come to the ultra sound with us to find out what Ellie was and for my Dad to ride the STP with Paul! Ohh the STP what a good time! Mom and Dad came to the ultra sound with us and it was Amazing so magical! but the best part was THE GREAT WOLF LODGE!! We spent a the night there during the second leg of the boys trip and it was SOOOOO FUN! i can't wait to go back! because it was amazing! Paul does this every year with his cousins he rides this huge bike race of 10,000 people from Seattle to Portland. This year was the year of the Mustache!!!! OMG yes that is my sweet man with a gnarly as heck beard! So awesomely gross! All the guys did it so it was pretty sweet and they looked awesome while doing it! While we hung out in the hot tub at the GWL some guys asked if they were a group of pirates or in a boy band haha! They went with pirates! All the guys did great but my Daddy pounded all of them into the GROUND! Literally beat all the boys 20 years younger then him! It was a proud moment for all of us! I was shocked at how awesome he did and so was he I think but he was awesome! I have never seen my dad so excited he finished strong and first!! It was a great trip and so nice to see my parents! I miss them so much! I can't wait till I get to visit them more often after this sweet babe is born! Aren't they adorable? Needless to say it was a great to have them around and have my parents be so excited to become grandparents! I still can't believe its happening but I sure am Excited that it is. Umm I am pretty sure that wraps up most of the exciting things we have done July was a pretty jam packed month and I am so glad that we had a few days of decent weather! THis summer has been CRAP I can't wait to go to Vegas the end of August adn enjoy some sun and some warmth! News on the house! Well we have everything in place to get the house! BUT Bank of America is being a bunch of d-bags and dragging out the process of getting us a new friggen roof! So although we have some place to move to we still can't because we need a roof! haha! Now we are just waiting and waiting KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED! So to end this never ending post I will leave you with my first ever baby bump picture where you can actually see something 21 weeks and counting!

Love at First Sight

Paul and I had our first ultrasound today, and we found our that we are having our sweet Ellenor Jay! Oh boy and is she a beauty! It was love at first sight for Paul and I both. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life so far. They showed us her for the first time and I had tears in my eye immediately. The whole time I have been pregnant it hasn't felt real and today it was. Still kind of not real because I can't seem to wrap my mind around it but a lot more real! She is a mover and a shacker our sweet babe is! She was doing somersaults all through my ultrasound and moving her little legs back and forth. I still can't feel her move but she is an active baby as far as we could see!! She is super healthy and looks ideal! Its seriously amazing all the technology we have now! I can't believe how much we saw of her it was awesome! I am in awe of this little girl and she isn't even here yet and won't be for a minute! But I am in love!

well hello there

ALRIGHT! So apparently at work they have unlocked the blogspot so this makes my life so much easier because I can then update while I work! Awsesome right?? Things in life have not yet come close to slowing down. Paul and I are still working on buying the house and have some SOO CLOSE to being finished! Our closing date is July 29th and Bank of America will be paying to give us a new roof! Thank you Bank of America for new carpets, new paint, and a NEWWWWW ROOOOOFFFF! I could not be more estatic! If only you knew I just helped two memebers right now! woohooiee this thing is great! So back on track we got the house everything is moving forward and we should be in our new place by August! I could not be more excited because I will have so many fun things to focus on! For one thing this house is riddleded in WALL PAPER! Whoever thought wall paper was a gem of an idea was off their rocker! It's in the kitchen and all the bathrooms in lovely floral designs and stripes! Its great! But that will afford me a lot of fun projects to get our house in working order! Plus I get a nursary! I get to paint it decorate it the whole nine yards and I have way to many ideas to start off with! I can't wait to find out what our baby Gaga is. July 7the big day and I am just dying to know! I am almost 98% sure we are having a baby and I think I am right because I have hard evidence or should I say HAIRY? If its a boy I will explain that story!
This will be if its baby Danger

And this for baby Ellanor

So cute right? But I am still toying with ideas. I am almost postive we will be doing a just little tree with woodland creatures. That will be the first thing to tackle in the new house and I can't wait! Well maybe the wall paper will come down first!

Other news... my parents are coming up from Las Vegas to do the big Seattle to Portland bike ride that Paul's partakes in every year. My dad deciced he wanted to fill the pain and is going to do it as well! The best part is we get to stay in the GREAT WOLF LODGE!!! Which has an indoor water park! Yes I am so excited because I am 5! haha My mom, Ash, and I will be the support team that basically gets to goof off all day and stay at the GREAT WOLF LODGE! Plus they will be up here when we find out what baby Gaga is so it will be a glorious occasion that I can't stop talking about!

Back to Baby Gaga so far being prego has been super easy for me which I am thankful for because I have seen it sucks for family and I am soooo glad that it has been as nice as it has. But I am having my first WHOOOOAAAA moment, and I will explain. As I got out of the shower the other day I looked down at my belly button and to my DISMAY it was on its way OUT! OUT.... YES I SAID IT! Granted its not sticking out terrible but it used to be a deep caveren of a belly button and now its not. haha only I have noticed but it is soooo scary to me because of THIIIIISSSSS!

DO YOU SEE THE BELLY BUTTON! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
Kelly Ripa is sooo hot but what the heck happened to her belly button? I would die if this happens to me. Although I am pretty sure I am insane I still worry!

news

I am the worse blogger ever I am pretty sure of that, but I am updating and I have things to talk about now!


#1- Paul and I have a Baby on the way! Due December 1st
#2- We are in the process of purchasing a house
#3- Paul is and old man and his back is giving out, but thankfully no back surgery
#4- Dexter is awesome and I think he needs a little sister with 4 legs!
#5- I turned 23, had an awesome birthday plus got an awesome eternity band for my bday

I can't really think of anything else so those will be the top 5 for now! About number one, Paul and I are super excited. We find out the sex on July 7th and that day couldn't come any faster I wish that it would be tomorrow!

Lets see number two the house! So awesome Paul and I found a great house in a fabulous neighborhood that is close to both the in-laws and Paul's brother! Which is fantastic because we love to hang out with them! It's a beautiful two story house with a nice back yard 4 bedrooms plus a bonus room! All the windows and carpets have been replaced and it is selling for a killer price!!! Our inspection is tomorrow and we will then find out if everything is good and we can move in! Keep your finger crossed!

Oh number three! My poor baby is having some back issues running heavy machines your whole life will do that too you I suppose! Paul had an MRI this week and we found out that he will not have to have surgery which is a huge relief because of number one as you could guess why! But we are still doing physical therapy and will have to explore some other options on how to make it better because that man needs his sleep!

Our four legged friend and number four! For over a year Dexter has been our number one and only baby soooo adding a really baby with only 2 legs shall be interesting. I am worried about Dexter because he has been my main focus for soooo long and I think he deserves a pet don't you? A Boston Terrier to add into the mix maybe?

Ahh Me number five! I turned 23 holy moly i am getting old not really but if feels like it!!! Paul got me the best present ever! My wedding band which just happened to be an eternity band! ohh soo sexy and awesome! Ashley the fabulous older sister that she is got tired of constantly seeing me with my pants unbuttoned and my zipper down so she bought me my first pair of prego pants. Which i am not going to lie are a revelation because those things are sooo dang comfy. they don't really stay on my because i have no butt and not a really belly but I do enjoy the face that I can stick my stomach out and be gassy and no one can say a dang thing! I just blame it all on baby gaga!!

well that is all for now! i will have to post some pictures of my belly when it decided to make and appearance for now i just look like fatty magoo and people think i have gained weight! which is terrible! also when we get that house! FINGERS CROSSED PEOPLE!

yet another land mark!

Holy crap one year.....this is my shocked face!




One year in Washington, I can't grasp this at all! Has it really gone that fast I had no idea time could pass by so quickly without even noticing it had even slipped through my grip! So as i am driving home from a long day at work and the sun is finally shining after days of grey i decided that i need to document one year on my way home with a few simple pictures of where i have lived and live, though i still don't quite call it home its just not vegas!
