Birthday boy!

October 7th

Uncle Zach's big day!!

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to you!

My brother Zach is turning 27 today, I am so thankful that he is my brother. He is such a great person and a wonderful uncle. The kids love him and love to be around him. He has a great sense of humor. He has always been able to make me laugh. One thing I miss is when we were both single we hung out all the time. I would drive him to the mall and he would always buy me dinner cuz I was poor. He is a very giving person and would give the shirt off his back to you.

Zach we hope you have a great day and remember, you are getting closer and closer to being 30...haha!

This little guy belongs to Ben & Kim (Adam's brother)

We are so glad he is here and healthy. He was due Nov. 5th after Seth and decided he wanted to come a little earlier. He had to stay in the NICU for a few days, but he is home now and he is doing well. Congrats to Ben & Kim, we are so happy and excited for you and also that we are gonna have little boys that will be the best of friends. Love ya!!

Sorry I stole the pic from your blog, hope you don't mind.

Seth.....Coming Soon!

My photographer mom took these great pictures of us, I was pretty happy with these ones after about 100 shots. We were trying all kinds of poses with the blocks, spelling out Seth. I was not happy with all the color ones, then we started playing around with the Sepia and black and white. These were some of the last ones we got and Karsyn was so full of it, I was actually holding her tight so she couldn't get away. We were in my mom's preschool room and she had other things she wanted to play with. It was fun though, we had some good laughs. Thanks mom for taking some great photos, and if you look at my mom's blog, sorry you are seeing the same pictures again. I stole them from her.

Note: Ignore the stretch marks, please!

Aaaaand We're Back!!

Finally!! It has been a long 2 1/2 weeks. I don't know how anyone can live without the internet. I thought I was gonna pull my hair out. I went over to my sister's once to check my email, but other than that I have had no clue what was going on in my blogging world. I have missed everyone. You don't realize all the things you do online until you don't have it anymore. I knew that we would get it eventually, but it ended up being a pain. We tried going thru COX and ended up having to go thru Qwest. Long story. Anyways still no cable tv, which is almost fine, I can live w/o it, but I hate commercials even more than I used too. DVR is such a luxury. You are lucky if you have it. I hope to get more pictures of us on here. My camera's batteries have been dead for awhile and I have not replaced them and I need to take some pictures of my pregnant belly and of Karsyn soon. I can't believe how soon I will have a newborn again. We are so excited, my body especially!! I am tired of the uncomfortable stage, I just hurt all over. But I still have a month and 1/2 which is good too cuz this poor little boy has nothing yet. Adam is still on the lookout for a job in his field. Luckily he has a good job doing electrical work right now. I love that he gets home early in the afternoon. Well I am glad to be back, it will probably take me a few days to get caught up on everyones blogs. Good night for now!

Organizing and living without!

The move went pretty well considering I wasn't a huge amount of help to my husband, but I tried. Thanks to my sister for watching Karsyn on Saturday and to my brother in law Brian for helping Adam with the big stuff. And mom and Shawny for helping with a few loads. They showed up at the right time on Monday. Getting Organized, yes, that's what I am trying to do now. But for me it's no fun. I hate going thru boxes and seeing things that I know I don't need anymore, but think, well, one day it will come in handy. Need to be Strong.

Also when we started moving I realized that I was walking away from some little freebees that we were so lucky to have and not worry about paying for them. Ummmm, internet, cable with DVR. Holy crap what am I gonna do without that stuff. I keep thinking that Adam will cave in at some point, he needs that stuff just as much as I do. So anyways my blogging may go down hill for awhile and I will have to be checking my emails elsewhere. Wish me luck that I will be able to talk him into it soon, and we will be up and running again.
