19th Annual Trip to SunRiver

We just got back for a week's vacation in SunRiver with the Putnam's!  It was such a nice vacation for us.  We had lots of fun activities, such as (you guessed it!) golf, swimming in the pool, rafting down the river, competitive games of catchphrase, take four and monopoly, basketball, tetherball, and a daily bike rides throughout SunRiver.   

Our little boy is getting more and more active and it lasts all day.  In the evening all I had to do was have a cold bowl of ice cream and lay on my back and he would put on quite a show for the family.  It was fun to see the cousins react to my tummy moving around and kicking!  Almost everyone got to interact with him!

Towards the end of our trip we had to say goodbye for a couple months to Greg.  He is on his way back to Biola (in Los Angeles) for school!  The next time we see him I probably won't be pregnant anymore and he will get to meet his new nephew!  =)

While we were on vacation our house in sale closed!  That was a good feeling!  Yesterday we signed papers for the house we are purchasing.  We get keys today and will begin the remodel soon (the house is pretty outdated).

Below are some funny pictures of the whole family 

(Except Chloe who was on a missions trip to Africa. We missed her!)

1st Baby Shower!

I had so much fun at my first baby shower!  Rachel Kemak (a good friend from church) and Kristina Putnam (my cousin!) threw a fantastic party.  We had everything from cakes shaped like diapers, yummy cheese and chocolate fondue, fun games, etc.!  Our little baby boy definitely was spoiled with lots of cute clothes and gifts too!  

A quick picture with Brett before the shower.  

He was on his way to move the last few things out of our house we sold.

The hostesses!

All the girls!

30 weeks!

30 Weeks and growing everyday!

My sister and I used to wear the same size in everything!

We thought this would be a fun pic to compare a "before pregnancy" and "30 weeks along"!

(Also, she would like you to notice the BLING on her left ring finger. Julie and Jacob will be so much fun and "Auntie and Uncle" for our baby!)

Monthly Update:

Everything is going great with pregnancy! My last appointment I was tested for everything under the sun. I am right on schedule and both baby and I are really healthy! I still feel really great! I owe that to all my my walking buddies that walk Chamber's Bay with me! =) The baby is moving a lot, squirming when I have a cold bowl of ice cream, getting the hiccups everyday, and making my belly shift from one side to the other! Both Brett and I have had so much fun watching him move around!

Brett and I have had a lot changes in the last couple months! We decided to move, put our house on the market and are living with Mom, Dad and Greg for the time being. We have been blessed to sell our house in this slow market. We also are closing on another home purchase that is located in a much safer and family friendly neighborhood! Everything has gone so smoothly and we owe a lot of that to friends and family! A big thanks to Mom and Dad for taking us in this summer! We are also really grateful for all the friends that helped us move (Mom, Greg, Jake, Jordan & Jen Lee, Seth & Kristin Anderson, Todd, David). There is no way that we could have done it by ourselves. We still have a bit of a journey as our new home is very dated and we are going to update it before we move in, so we are looking at a busy summer! We will have a nice break though, with our annual weeklong trip to SunRiver with the Putnams coming up soon!

Brett and I appreciate you all and will keep you updated as we get closer to our due date!
