Almost 40 weeks!

WOW! Anybody else besides Darren and I think that the bun in the oven is done???!!!!! Only two days left until my due date! Don't know how much longer we are going to have to wait but we hope that its not tooo much longer. I can't believe how slow these last few weeks have gone by. The exciting thing is to know that this baby HAS to come out sometime soon! Hopefully my next post will be pictures of the new little one instead of this huge belly of mine!

Baby's room

We are just about finished with the baby's room! The only thing left is the baby :) We've really had a lot of fun decorating and picking out things to put in it. The chair tha is in it now is not the one that we are keeping. We have a chair that we have ordered that seems to be taking its time coming in. Hopefully it will be here soon. It is black like the rest of the furniture so it will blend in better!

This is a model airplane that Darren's brother Justin had put together. We have it hanging from the ceiling when you first walk in the room.

The big empty space above the crib is going to be the baby's name. We painted letters to hang there....just can't put it up yet since it's a secret :)

What a mess!

A couple of weeks ago we finally went through all the baby's clothes and seperated everything and washed and folded and washed and folded and washed and folded!!!! What a job! I never realized how difficult it was to find all those tiny little socks and try to fold them!

Darren's 30th Surprise Birthday Party!

I don't have a clue why this picture came through sideways. Sorry. It wasn't like that when I downloaded it and I tried twice....oh well. Darren's favorite cake is carrot cake so I had to search before I could find someone to make a big carrot cake and decorate it. It was delicious!

36 Weeks and STILL growing!

Another Baby Shower!

Last weekend, Joy and Jacinda held a wonderful shower for Darren and I. It was an awesome Brunch Baby Shower with lots of GREAT food, and wonderful games. It was tonz of fun and once again, this little boy of ours is getting spoiled! Jacinda made this AWESOME biplane made out of diapers! It's a masterpiece!

Thanksgiving Weekend

Here are a few pictures from Thanksgiving weekend. I didn't seem to have my camera ready for the good pictures but did get a few. It was great to see everyone. I spent a lot of time with my feet up since they swelled to the size of sausages :( Darren had a great time riding his dirtbike along with Brad, Marcus, Uncle Ron, and Dad at the ranch several days. Somehow, we seemed to finish off TWO batches of homemade ice cream. Compliments to the cook! And, we will never forget the ice cream war of 2008 :) A batch of ice cream was kidnapped by Marcus and Brad and in return....Brad will never want to eat Miracle Whip again. Can't wait til next year to do it all over again. Only this time....we will be a family of 3!

Nothing is better than a West Texas sunset! I happened to have my camera ready this time. No, that's not snow on the ground. Cotton harvest was just finished.

Trace and Trevin learning how to play the piano :)

This is NOT what we were planning on coming home to. The roads were fine until we got stuck in our driveway. It took Darren an hour to dig us out. Made for a pretty late night.

Ice Cream WAR!
