Life Lately

Josh and I have been quite busy these last few weeks.  Our nights are usually filled with : Jordan's basketball games, Josh's 7th/8th grade boys games, youth group, prenatal classes, etc.  Then on the occasional weekends we will hit up a Eric Church /  George Strait concert with my family!  O my goodness what an amazing concert that was! 

Waiting for concert to start.  I am sporting my nasty white winter skin tones :)

Us three were pretty excited!

Eric Church :)

King of Country - George Strait as he left the stage after singing the Cowboy Rides away.

Had to get concert shirts :)

We/I decided we needed to paint our basement family room area that we rarely use now.  Since it is the only place in our house that has carpet besides the loft I figured we would be putting it to good use once we had a mobile baby!  And, if we didn't do it now it would never get done!  This picture was taken before we were all done painting, in case you notice the not so great trim job.

Here I am looking pretty large at 27 weeks!  We are now under 100 days til baby's arrival, what a countdown!  Sleep is getting shorter every night - what joy! :P  I have been going a little crazy online shopping for baby clothes lately, trying to get an equal amount of girl and boy clothes! Hoping to redo my mom's rocking chair in the near future as well as hang up decor in the nursery.  So much to do and time is running out!

Over Halfway!

I am now at 24 weeks - and everything is going great!  We had a great Christmas/New Years with family and friends!  Our baby nursery is almost complete - we received so many great gifts for Christmas!

3 preggo "sisters"!  Jessica due April 30, Ashley due March 22, Jenessa due March 19.

Josh and I out to eat for New Year's eve with sister Lindsey in Sioux Falls.

At 23 weeks we finally had our ultrasound!  We sure think baby VG is really cute!  Baby was pretty squirmy and full of kicks during the ultrasound but we still got some great pictures!

Love that face so much already!

Our First Home! - Before Pictures!

On July 1, 2013 we finally were able to move into our first home! We had closed on the house on May 1, so we had a few months to wait, it was torture!  Looking back I think we would both agree we could have attempted to pack our apartment a little better before the move.  I worked til about 1 and Joshua took the day off and started the move around 7am.  Family members showed up throughout the day to help us out.  Not only did they help me finish packing the apartment but they also helped me clean it up good! Very thankful to be close to family and that they are so willing to help us out!
