Baby Evan

My brother, Sheldon, and his wife, Kristin, had their beautiful boy, Evan, on Sunday. He is doing great and we are so glad he is here. Here are some pictures of him for you to enjoy.

Perfection



Since we got our Wii for Christmas, we have played it nonstop!! Matt loves this new toy and I am quite certain if his test in a few weeks was Wii bowling, he would do great. So the other night Matt decided to play a quick game of bowling before bed and it turned out to be a perfect game. He threw 11 strikes in bowling and scored a 299. He was so excited and was all about taking a picture of it. We have now rented Mario Kart and are loving it...what did we do before the Wii??

A Year



I can hardly believe it has been a year since we got married! This has been one of the best years of my life. I could not ask for a better husband and friend. He is there for me anytime I need him, and is always there to make me smile. I am so blessed that we found each other and I can't wait to celebrate many more anniversaries with him. I love you Matt!!




These pictures were taken by our wonderful photographer, Melinda Mercer.

Christmas Vacation

We had a great Christmas and New Years! My mom and sisters got us a Wii for Christmas and we love it!! It has even managed to get Katie over to our house a lot more!! :) Matt has a huge HR exam in a couple of weeks, and he is worried he will fail it due to perfecting his Wii-ness.

My mom and sisters and I went to Texas to see Sheldon and his family. It was great to see everyone, but the drive was awful!! I know we have said this before, but we WILL NOT make that drive again. The girls are getting so big and it makes me sad to think about all we are missing out on. Hopefully we will see them soon once Baby Evan arrives.



I returned home to a new bedroom. Matt had a waterbed before we got married....that's right, a waterbed. Like my cousin Jordan said, "Do you hop in a time machine before you go to bed each night?" I hated the bed, and made it quite clear to Matt. Well, he took the hints and he got rid of it!! :) My father in law and Matt took off the hideous wallpaper, painted our room, and put in my old bed. I was so impressed becasue he had been VERY sick while we were in Texas, but he still managed to do this and work on our kitchen countertops. I am so lucky to have him as my husband.
So, needless to say I am not looking forward to going back to the world of 6th graders, but duty calls. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.
