I have a couple ultrasound pictures but we are in Colorado Springs right now and have to wait to get home to post them. Anyway.. this is our big news and we can't wait to meet our little one in a couple months! Merry Christmas!!

Thanksgiving!!

We had another great Thanksgiving this year! We are so blessed to have made such wonderful friends here in Dayton who invited us over for dinner this year as well as last year! It was a lot of fun to get together with other families who stuck around here for the holidays. We ate tons of food then the boys watched football and the girls got in lots of much needed girl talk! Even though we wish we could have seen our family in Idaho and met our 2 new nephews this year, we are very grateful for all our friends! SO.. a huge Thank You to the Barkers for hosting again!! Next Thanksgiving will seem so weird with out you guys!!

Extreme Home Makeover

This Sunday, November 8th, Extreme Home Makeover is airing the Dayton Ohio episode. It is at 8 o'clock eastern time! I am very excited to see it!

Halloween and Fresh Pumpkin Filling

Well halloween was super fun! For the church halloween party Preston and I dressed up as an aweful hairdresser and a very unlucky client. Then for work I dressed up as Harry Potter. It was really funny and people got a big kick out of it!!

Also, Every year after halloween we cut up our pumpkins, boil them and blend them to make fresh pumpkin filling for anything we want to put pumpkin in! We usually just end up eating a whole ton of Pumpkin Pie. Anyway, it was a really fun family home evening activiy and now we have enough pumpkin to make 24 pumpkin pies!! So if you need pumpkin for anything just let me know!!

The Big News!!!!

Well.. we finally found out where we are going next. We will be in Washington D.C. where Preston will be working at the Pentagon. He will be working for the Rated Force Policy Development which he will be able to use his Operations Research degree for. He is very happy because that was what he was hoping for. He said to me yesterday when we found out "man, this is going to stink.. I'm going to have a real job now!" haha.. but I think he is really going to enjoy it. I was kinda hoping to go somewhere closer to home and warmer but there is so much to do in a place like D.C and I'm sure we are going to love being there! Now we just have to find a place to live!!!!

Pink for a good Cause

On Saturday, for 5 dollars which was donated to breast cancer research, we were able to wear pink to work. We are usually only allowed to wear black, white and gray so it was really fun to add a little color.. anyway here is a picture of some of us supporting "save the TaTa's"

Also, we all wore pink hair pieces that day and when I got home Tonka decided he really liked to play with it! So here is a funny video of him trying to get it out of his hair!

Halloween Crafts

I can't belive it's October already! I went to pull out my Halloween decorations and realized I don't really have any. Well we did have a couple dish towels and a door mat but that was it so I started making some halloween crafts. I also found out how crafty Preston can be! With a jig saw and some careful drilling he made me some spooky trees and I painted them! They turned out really cute! Anyway it was really fun making crafts and now I can't wait til christmas time so I can make lots more!!

This is the outside of our house!! Just kidding.. This is our neighbors!

They really like Halloween!!

This is our front door. I cut the bats out with my friend Nicole!

Here are the trees we made not lit up

Here they are lit up! Cute huh!!

Here are some ghosts Nicole and I made together one afternoon.. and tonka pretending he's a ghost too.

And this is our centerpiece. It's kind of a dark picture but this was the best looking one!

Tonka!! He is so big now!
