The Wedding

Shawna and Spud's wedding turned out nicely. She was a beautiful bride. Here are a few pics.

Dog Sitting

Our friend, Monica, lives in Boise but work in D.C. Her husband and 8 month old son are still living in Boise full time, but decided to go see her for a couple weeks. In trying to cut down on the kennel bill, we watched them over the weekend. They are good pups and Lucy enjoyed playing with them. She did get a little jealous but there were no major catastrophes.

We're Boring

We have been pretty boring lately. Haven't done much of anything the last several weekends. Hazen is done with the landscape company but still sort of working for them. This month he is blowing out sprinkler systems and having to actually do some manual labor again. Don't feel bad, it's good for him. He was losing his calluses. I just had my 16 week check on Friday. The baby seems to be doing okay. Listened to the heartbeat again so we know that the baby is still fine. Next ultrasound to determine gender is scheduled for November 6. We took Lucy down to the park for a walk today. It's really starting to get cold over here. Some pretty fall colors around though. These pics are from the park.

****Asada Fest '09****

Heather and Ryan had tickets to come visit last weekend so Hazen decided to do a big BBQ. However, he didn't want to do the same old thing so he went for Carne Asada. I also made some chicken fajitas since I don't really do beef. Hazen went to the local mexican grocery store and ended up getting 13 pounds of meat. Needless to say, we have a lot of leftovers. Anyways, we were talking to my parents Thursday night and somehow convinced them to come over for the feast as well. The BBQ turned out pretty well. We had a few different neighbors and some people from our softball team here also. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the BBQ and I only got a couple of the rest of the weekend. Here is all I have.

Breakfast Nachos: Chips, beans, hashbrowns, carne asada, chicken, scrambled eggs, cheese

Hazen took us trap shooting. I shot at two and missed and let someone else have a turn. My next go-round I hit the first one and gave up. It wasn't going to get any better than that.

What up B****es!

Ryan had a great time. Huge celebration when he hit one.

Shawna's Shower

Well, it's been a couple weeks, but I'm finally getting around to it. I flew home for Shawna's Bridal Shower over Labor Day Weekend. Hazen stayed in Idaho and ended up going camping in the desert with Lucy, which he informs me "it's hot in the desert". I had a great time while I was home and of course dad made some excellent food. Shawna's shower was at Spud's parents house. Spud definitely has a lot of family. Shawna raked in the goods. I don't think she even needs to have a wedding ceremony now because she probably got everything she needs already. Was a nice shower though. I was especially fond of the chocolate fountain. I didn't get many pictures, but here are a few.

Oh Yeah, and the Baby!

Well, it is finally happening. After 6 years of marriage and 11 years of being together, we are finally going to have a baby. We had our first appointment and ultrasound this morning. Very exciting. Got to see the heartbeat on the monitor. It's amazing that there is already a heartbeat. The baby was measured to be 8 weeks and 2 days. We have a due date of March 24.
Any bets on whether it will be a boy or girl?

Keepin' Busy

I guess we've been up to a few things since my last post. Hazen was very busy in the backyard a couple weeks ago. We decided that we would put in new sod and a fresh start for the backyard. Looked like a lot of work. I supervised well. It turned out very nice. Luckily our neighbors boyfriend came over to help. It was 100 degrees that day and Hazen was out there working away. I also kept them hydrated.

Travis, Sarah and Mason were here last weekend for a visit. I can't believe how much Mason changes every time we see her. She blows me away. We ha a great time with them and can't wait for the next time.
