Idol anyone?

Did anyone watch American Idol last night? I think Paula was out of it. I just caught a little on you tube today.

Random...

Riding along on the tractor

Poor Robert... All day he was asking Todd if he could cut our lawn. Todd said after it rains you can. Well finally he gave in and said ok. The minute he got on the tractor, Dylan wanted a ride. So, he drove him around a little bit and then I told Dylan lets get your lawn mower and you can follow Robert. Well, as soon as Dylan got off and Robert started cutting it, it started to sprinkle. I told him he would have to stop and could work on it this week. I think this afternoon he is going to come by and cut the grass though. How funny is that?

New house paint colors..

Dining room
Oh, the dining room... we thought a pretty red would look nice, but it doesn't really go with any of the other colors we went with. We are going to change out that color to a chocolate brown now. Sorry dad... he has been the one doing the majority of the painting.






Office


Spare room


Baby's room


Powder room

lipstick mania...

Well, it turns out Dylan likes to get into lipstick. In the mornings we typically get ready and he sees me putting on makeup, so I guess he just assumed he should wear lipstick too =)

we heard the heartbeat... 162

I went in for all my testing yesterday and everything looked great. Then, the nurse said we can probably hear the heartbeat, well they couldn't... Of course, we were all a little alarmed, so they did an ultrasound and the baby was just fluttering away. Such an amazing thing to see. "its" heartbeat was at 162. I think Dylan was always in the 140's. Maybe its a girl, who knows. Its still to early to know yet.

Almost out of the first trimester

Maybe I'll start feeling better again. I just don't like the feeling of being tired so much and being nauseous.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Dolphin

We wanted to wish Grandpa Dolphin (Todd's dad) a very happy birthday.

oh so precious

Sale Pending...

Well, yesterday was a good day. We got two offers on the house. We accepted the one offer and have our inspection today. We hope everything goes smooth. We plan on closing the end of May.

Baby on the way

Yes, we have some news.... Dylan is going to be a big brother. I'm 10 weeks right now and am feeling pretty good. I'm more tired with this one and have been experiencing "evening" sickness.

half way moved in

We are up in Iowa this week getting the house painted and organized. Our POD arrived on Tuesday and we had it unloaded the same day. Troy stopped over last night and helped tear down wall paper and paint. What a huge help. We are definately making some progress and it is feeling like our own. Curt, Angie and kids came the following day and helped us tear down more wall paper and paint the office. When we left, we had removed the wall paper from the guest bedroom, powder room and laundry room. We painted the dining room, office, powder room, laundry room, baby's room, and spare bedroom. Needless to say, our vacation wasn't too relaxing but we did get a lot accomplished. Thank you so much for all of your help especially to my parents who were there all week.

I'll send some before and after pictures.

Dylan's movie theatre experience

Well, on Sunday we went to Dylan's first movie, The BEE movie. I'm sure glad we went to the dollar theatre. He fell asleep half way through it. It was an ok movie, but definately not my favorite.

After the movie, Todd went back to work to open up mail and get caught up on paperwork, so I decided to take Dylan to the park. He went down the slide a few times, but had more fun playing in the creek, going over the bridge, and throwing in his bee in the creek and trying to get it out. After all that excitement, we took a walk at the park and he enjoyed throwing the leaves up in the air and putting them on his head. What a funny little boy.

My favorite show

Is anyone watching Lipstick Jungle out there? I absolutely love it. It reminds me a little of Sex and the City and I loved that. Speaking of, the movie should be coming out May 30th. I can't wait to see it. Has anyone seen the trailor

Happy Birthday J-bird

Can you believe it, its already St. Patricks day? Also, its Jason's birthday. I sure hope he had a great weekend celebrating.

Box full of joy...

Dylan has been our little helper when it comes to packing and helping mark the boxes. As you can see, this is a special package courtesy of Mr. Dylan.


I'm not sure if he is flipping off the camera, but if he is, sorry to offend anyone.

video games...

Playstation 2 anyone

When we got home from the Cottontail Express, Robert was over at our house playing vide




o games with Todd. Of course, Dylan wanted to play too. Good job guys
