The last walk...

Bubba's Baby Shower

My Mom was sneaky and sent a package to the shower. She made two beautiful quilts.

Bubba is a very spoiled baby already.. He received : 2quilts, 3 blankets, 10 outfits, 5 pks of onesies, 2 footie pajamas, plus soap, shampoo and wipes (enough to keep the boy clean for at least the first 5 years of his life!) and 1 sock Monkey.

A special 'Thank You' to my Sis-in Law Nikki for coming down for the shower and for taking all the pictures!!

Jon's jealous of my belly!!

This may be the last picture of just the two of us!!

Third times a charm!

On the Third day of the Third Month was our Third wedding anniversary...and it just so happens I'm in my Third Trimester! I can't believe it's been three years. I guess time flies when you're spending time with your Best Friend!

January 24th marked our one year sealing date. So we get to celebrate two anniversaries!

3rd Trimester

Jon's been busy on his time off.

For Valentine's Day, Jon got me a new faucet for the kitchen..
He also painted the Mantle Black and cleaned up the bricks...

And today he drilled some holes in the logs and put in some candles...

Now he just needs to paint in inside of the fire place!!

Ice VS Snow in NC

This is Ice...

It came down as frozen sleet...

We got 2 inches of Ice the weekend before last, It started up Friday night and by Saturday Morning we were stuck, EVERYTHING was shut down for three days. No Work & No Church... for the brave/stupid (however you want to look at it) Wal-Mart was open, but that was about it. It was so cold outside that the Ice couldn't melt and the little bit that did would just freeze back over that night. So we stayed inside until Monday afternoon, when we finally got called to go back into work. Jon went out and scrapped off the cars and cleared the steps. (it was like a skating rink out there..Only Jon's not so graceful!! He fell and landed on his bum and hit his head. (too bad I missed it!)

Here's Jon with a crowbar and a hammer trying to chip away at the 2 inches of solid ice on the back steps, so we could go to work on Monday.

This is Snow...

This Saturday, we got 4 inches of nice, powdery, easily meltable Snow. Unfortunately, nothing shut down, so I had to go to work that morning.

OH DANG!!

Today is my Grandma's 88th Birthday...And it's also Bubba's 27th Week of making me FATTER THEN EVER...I should NEVER have taken this picture!! HOLY COW! (Literally!)

(I look like I'm slouched over, cuz Jon said ' Don't stick it out!'....but I totally wasn't!! So I slouched.)

Bubba's Bedroom

Here finally are pictures of the Baby's room.

This is the Dresser that I refinished...It's really big, so all of Bubba's clothes should fit nicely.

It's a little boring in the room right now, but we plan to hang pictures and a quilt on the wall.

(hopefully soon we can finally get closet doors. We took the old ones down when we moved in)

JTP is another year older...the jury's still out on the wiser too part!

For Jon's Birthday, he got his annual card/check from my Mom, which he always refuses to cash...
A flag holder for the flag he brought home which was flown on 9/11...

and a Shadow box for his razor collection:

Maybe I should have gotten him a hair cut instead!!
