Our BEDROOM!

FINALLY! The long awaited room and pictures! Isn't it just awesome?! It's a dream room for us! We both LOVE it! Ryan and I hung pictures and stuff on the wall on Saturday, which was great! (he had a really good birthday by the way!!!)

You'll have to overlook the lack of real curtains and no fancy bedding yet. haha...All in good time! I'll try to post more later, I just want to get these on here really quick!

Standing up!

Here he is standing up before he went to sleep.

This is how you fall asleep AFTER you've been standing up and don't know what else to do.
This is another time when he fell asleep sitting up. He just kind of keeled over frontwards. Don't worry, I leaned him back after I snapped the picture! haha

• Well, it has become one of Ty's favorite things to do after he wakes up. He stands up in his bed and hollers till we come and "rescue" him! lol...It had become his favorite thing to do before he fell asleep too, we had nip that problem in the bud though. This is BEFORE we actually "nipped" the problem! haha

• I have a Dr.s appointment today. It will probably be pretty pointless OTHER than that I'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat. And that's NEVER pointless.

• Ryan and I may go out tonight for our ice-cream since his aunt is wanting to cook supper for his birthday tomorrow night. Sounds fine with me!!!

• OH!!! I knew there was something I was wanting to put in this post and I couldn't think...I have successfully made my first batch of Amish Friendship Bread. I made it into apple/nut bread. It is SOOOOOO good. While I was mixing up the bread I realized I don't actually HAVE any bread pans to cook in! haha...OOPS! So I used a bunt pan (or however it's spelled). I had to cook it longer but it turned out just wonderful! Ryan took a huge chunk of it to work with him. And after close inspection of his breakfast plate, I discovered that's what he ate for breakfast too! haha...Apparently he likes it! I SHOULD have taken a picture of it before he cut the big hunk out of it! It was very pretty! haha...

More later!

Hello again!

I can't BELIEVE I forgot to add this exciting info on my last post!!! My sister, Jennifer, is ALSO expecting a new little one. She is due October 1, a little over a month after me. This will be her FOURTH!!! I'm hoping for another little girl since she has two boys and only one girl. We'll see in a couple of months! I never dreamed that my sister and I would EVER be pregnant at the same time! I don't think that she did either! haha

The pictures are of Ty in his bath! I think they're pretty cute! Pray for him, you can see the eczema in the creases of his arms. Sometimes it looks better, other times it looks worse. Anyway, he absolutely LOVES his bath and ANY kind of water you get him in or around, he wants to play in it! I'm glad he likes the water!

My mom will be happy when she finds out that I caught Ty crawling yesterday with the video camera. She's been after me about not videoing enough, I have to agree with her that I had been slacking. So, yesterday I pulled the camera out and got him crawling to Ryan! It's cute!

Well, it's Ryan's birthday this Saturday, St. Patrick's Day! He'll be 26. I think we're going to go out for ice-cream at a neat little place downtown. It kind of looks like an old-timey soda place.

We are OFFICIALLY moved into our bedroom! We haven't moved our stuff into the closet because we still haven't bought any lighting for the room OR closet. I had two lamps that I used in my bedroom at mom and dad's that we're using to light the room! It looks AWESOME in there! I never dreamed we would have a room like that! We completely have our OWN private cabin getaway! It's so amazing in there. We layed awake, in the dark, holding hands and just looking around the room, talking about how cool it was till after 11. The Lord has certainly blessed us! I just can't wait to get the closet shelves bought and put up and lighting and get everything for our closet moved in too! Our house is going to look so clean and UNCLUTTERED when all the stuff we had stashed everywhere actually gets put in it's proper place! haha...

Well, enough for now! I'll post again soon Lord willing!!!

Lots to talk about!

Well, for one thing. Most of you have probably already heard or read about our good news! Ryan and I are expecting baby #2!!! I am due August 26, so we're very excited. Lord willing we'll find out next month what we're having. I'll definetly let all you guys know!

Ty now has 8 teeth and is crawling, pulling up, and walking everywhere (while hanging on of course!) lol

I hope I still have some faithfuls that check my poor little neglected blog! Ryan and I have been going through some financial struggles and the phone was one of the things that just went for a while. But Lord willing we have it back up and running now for good! We'll see! Just keep us in your prayers!

We are FINALLY getting to move into our bedroom tomorrow, Lord willing. It's been over a year since we've been sleeping on our mattress in the living room! I'm so ready to move into our bedroom! It's going to be AWESOME!

Back to the pregnancy thing...this pregnancy has been a TON easier than Ty's! I am nauseated off and on, but it has definetly tapered off and hasn't been NEAR as bad. I feel great so far!

I'm going to try to add a new ticker on the bottom counting down to the new baby's due date!!!

I have a ton more that I could say, but I'll save it for a new post with more new pictures!!!

Still Alive!

So sorry it's been so long since I've posted. I sit here wearing a respirator (sp?) just so I can post this quick note. Ryan and I have been staining our new bedroom in order to get it ready to carpet. We haven't been able to stay here since we started because of the fumes, so we're staying up at Danny's house who doesn't have the internet or a computer.

Ty now has SIX teeth! YAY for Ty!!!

BIG NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Leslie, (the one with the pregnancy ticker on the bottom of the blog) have HAD her baby! Another teacher friend of mine called to tell me and I wasn't there to take the call and have tried to call her back and STILL haven't gotten her! I DON'T have Leslie's # so I have NO idea what she had or ANY details!!! BOOHOO! So if you read this Dylan...you're going to have to get ahold of Keri and get my # so I can post all the details! I'm DYING to know and to see that sweet baby too!!!

Well, that's all for now. =) Hopefully more later!

Playing together!

This is Ty playing with his friend Alyssa. She was sweetly sharing her cool little toy! Ty was fasinated by the door which he would push open to hear is say "OPEN!" then pull is back shut for it to say "CLOSED!" It was SO cute! They play so good together! I just love it!

An 8 Month Old & 14 Month Old

I know she's about to crawl out of the picture, but don't they look SO close in age? He's as tall as she is now, but she's a little chunkier! He still acts more babyish than she does, so after a while of putting up with his baby antics, she takes off! haha
