BOY--BOY--BOY!!!

It's Official....IT'S A BOY!! See the second picture below...can you tell??

No mistaking it....It's a boy!!! Can you tell by the "manhood" pic??? Kent and I thought it would be a good idea to get a picture of it because we both thought we were having a girl. So we can go back and look at the picture and confirm it when we need to. I also love the picture we got today of him sucking his thumb! So precious....it's such a miracle. I am still in awe!

FINISHED MURAL...

The Nursery mural is complete. I think it turned out good. Kent agrees but really wanted to contribute. As you can see below, he decided to make the monkey say something funny. I didn't want to paint it on so he was satisfied with writing it on a piece of paper, making it look like he was saying it. I must admit...it is quite funny! My favorite is still the Elephant. I think instead of drawing a giraffe over the crib I am going to either put "baby" in blocks on the wall or maybe the baby's name. It feels so good to have it done!

SLOWLY BUT SURELY.....MAKING PROGRESS!

"Nesting"

So I've really started feeling the "nesting" of pregnancy lately. I've decided to tackle a mural of animals for the nursery. Here is hte start of this big project. The monkey is almost done. You can't really see the elephant and lions yet. This is a big task but I'm having fun with it so far. More pictures to come when I get more done!

~BONFIRE~
Saturday we had a bonfire and we had the perfect weather for it. We had a good turn out. Thanks for coming everyone. Kent and I had a great time. We loved seeing all of you and the kiddies in their costumes. Here are a few pictures from the night. Enjoy!

Cullen and Nevin taking a rest by the fire after running around the yard.

Ryan and Cullen posing for the camera.

Ryan trying to cover up Ang...he didn't want anymore pictures taken. Great pic!

Kent, Kate, Ben and John all snuggled up by the fire.

Ryan showing Sylvia how he shoots webs. "Spider Man, Spider Man."

Ian sitting by the fire enjoying some snacks. You are quite the entertainer Ian! We love hangin' with you and your family! Maybe someday we'll make it to your house. *wink, wink*

Ben trying to avoid me. He stuck close to mom and dad. I ended up making the poor guy cry by trying to tickle him. Someday soon, I'm going to get you to crack a smile Ben!

Jen and Cullen! His adorable blonde curls are hidden under his hat.

Sylvia in her adorable Pooh costume. She definitely loves the camera! SUPER CUTE!

WE ARE EXPANDING THE FAMILY! Molly and Kent Plus 1

Kent and I went in for our first Ultrasound today. Our first "picture." The circular blob on the right hand side is the baby's head. We found out that our due date was changed from May 1st to May 16th. We are 10 weeks and 3 days along at this point. It was such an amazing moment when we heard the heart beat and saw the baby squirm when the tech pushed on my stomach. "Yup, it's for real. We are going to be Parents." We can't wait!!

Flu....

I think I got my first taste of the flu season. YUCK! I started feeling symptoms (headache, fever, muscle aches) on Saturday and finally started to feel somewhat better this evening, 4 days later. I am just hoping that I am on the road to recovery. Hope everyone gets their flu shot this season and get your rest!

Now for the fun and exciting news; Kent and I made a reservation at Wildfire in Eden Prairie for Monday October 13....Our One Year Anniversary. I can't wait, we hardly ever go out for a nice dinner.

Almost a year now...

I can't believe that it will be our One Year Anniversary soon! Ahhh, the memories.

I'm such a lucky gal. There isn't a day that doesn't go by without me laughing. I couldn't have asked for a better man.

Lazy Morning...

Lazy Saturday relaxing with Cooper
