My Husband

I know I have the BEST husband! How I got so lucky...I'm not sure! My family knows I am pretty intense at times (we won't mention the-so-called "punching" incident), and yet I landed the most tender husband! Chad has had it pretty rough the last few months. Not only dealing with an overly emotional pregnant wife but, also dealing with his third love (after Izabelle and I of course) his business. He has endured miraculously, headaches and all. His constant unwavering faith was and is, such an example to me. All said and done, a new building was found and moving is currently under way. It will be a crazy couple of weeks but, is it really anything different? I love you Sweetheart! Know your girls as always are cheering for you! XOXOX

got milk?

We took Izabelle Trick-o-Treating downtown last night. She was dressed as her favorite food...an Oreo mini! The costume idea was my Mom's (I remember being an Oreo)! Izzy would say "peez" (please) all down the street, even to people without candy...do you think she figured it out? I'll post video later!

Sweet Happenings

In an attempt to catch up....

*My brother Jacob came and worked for Chad a few weeks this summer. Izabelle adored him, we miss him!
















*My first ever Apple Pie won first place at the Fall Harvest Festival.

*We sold my Honda Civic in 1 week enabling us to buy the Kia Sedona we found.

*Izzy and I took a trip to California. I miss my family! There is nothing better than seeing my sisters with their new babies! Thank you Aunt J- you are too good to me!

*I have only gained 11 lbs so far in this pregnancy. (Uh...no pix of the belly...I'm still a whale!) I cannot believe it's only weeks away from bringing Ellery home with us!

*Izabelle is into everything and talking/signing more and more everyday. She does the silliest things! Just yesterday I asked her if she wanted a granola bar, she heard gorilla bar and pounded her chest like a gorilla. Here she is wearing my belly support band, and her Dad's socks as leg warmers...goofy kid!














*We officially took over the other downstairs apartment, in attempt to have one larger apartment. It was a dusty mess but, a door is now hanging. We are on an official countdown trying to get everything done before Ellie comes...we'll see.

*We took a trip to Denver to see Chad's mom and cousin (our last with only one munchkin in tow). We went to the zoo and of all of the animals Izabelle could love what was it...the Rhinos! We had to pry her hands off the Rhinos cage (you could only tell it was alive because his eye would open and close)!

Well that's it for our exciting news. Keep checking my blog for pictures of the improvements we are making to the house! And more important....wish us LUCK!
