"My belly at 23 weeks"


Okay so I cannot believe that it has already been two weeks since the last pic I posted! Well I'm technically 23 weeks on Friday so I'm a little early... I get excited to post it though sorry :) Anyhow this is me and this time I have my little friend with me Dukey!! He is so cute he just has to be everywhere Chris and I are!! I hope you are enjoying the belly pice every two weeks, I figured it would be nice for those of you I don't see all of the time!

"Chris cooking YIKES"





Well okay so he can cook some mean easy mac oh and some macaroni and tomato juice, but dinner LOL!! So tonight he had the itch to cook, because one of our new years deals was to not eat out at all this month. Well so far so good, there was only one problem (WE HAD NO FOOD). So he is the worst to take grocery shopping and I didn't want to go alone, he said to me the rule is you don't go to the store hungry! So he was determined to scrounge up something in our kitchen and well this is what he came up with! It was stir fry and brown rice....
The best part is when he ran upsatairs for a breif moment and said I need help. I knew that would happen :) So when I went downstairs this is what I see bless his heart!!
Pans all over pans on top of eachother! This I had to blog because if any of you know Chris well enough you know that he doesn't do the cooking! So after this yummy meal in fact, we headed to the store. Ofcourse before we went I had to reward him with something for rounding up and cooking a good dinner for me! Don't worry though even when we have no groceries we always have junk lying around to eat ( like chocolate cake) :) Thanks for dinner babe I enjoyed and was quite impressed what you whipped up!

"Little man moved"

I just wanted to take a moment and let everyone know that my little man is kicking and swirling in my belly!!! Okay so I was just sitting at work and bam this jolt. I can't believe it, it was very strong today I haven't felt anything like it yet. The best way I can describe it to you all is just like something that is moving through your intestines. Like little bubbles popping, that is how I described it to Chris anyways :) I just thought I would share that with you all! My little man is growing and kicking up a storm in there I will keep you all updated!!

"Carlyes rockin 80's birthday party"


Okay well Carlye turned 27 on Saturday!!! Hope you don't mind I announced that Car :) Anyhow she decided quite some time ago that she wanted to do an 80's theme party for her birthday. She also to top it off wanted to take it to the bowling alley for some cosmic bowling, what better place to be dressed in 80's! Well you should have seen the look on peoples faces when we all walked in LOL it was priceless. I didn't take the camera in with me to the bowling alley because it was so dark in there it wouldn't have taken good pictures anyhow. For so many reasons I wish I would have though :) Some totally awesome dance moves were going on in there! So the pictures I have to present to you are hilarious. The way that Dave and Car had decorated the house was just so fun, they had a set up like as if we were at 80's prom! We had to all get pictures as couples first in front of it, then girls, then guys in groups. Oh my gosh it was pretty funny to see some of these outfits and hairdo's. All I can say is that we all definately brought the 80's back for sure :) Car I hope you had a great birthday!!! As for everyone else take a look at these TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS pictures!!
