Jameson's Stranger


This is Jameson who is not feeling very well today and had to miss church. Lauren Falter came over long enough for me to run and teach Sunday school (which was really sweet of her.) When I got home Jameson only wanted to lay on the couch. He was running a fever and just not feeling well. He and "Stranger" cuddled up on the couch together for a little R&R.

Elliot's Valentine


Many of you know we got Elliot in October. We love her despite her being the hardest dog to house train that I have ever had. She has been very lonely as I work full time. We have talked about getting her a beau that she can have as a companion and may be some day a mate.

Dave has been working very hard trying to find her a friend. Many breeders were worried about us becoming breeders and would jack up the price if they knew we had a female and were looking for a male. We were ready to give up and just wait until after the baby comes since we will have a lot on our plate. We were worried how Elliot would react once the baby came though, so Dave kept calling and yesterday we finally got lucky. We drove down to Tenino to pick up our little boy. I told Dave he had to pick the name since I had named Elliot. He picked 3; Cowboy, Jackson, and Ranger. Jameson insisted on Darby which he was getting from a Veggie Tales movie. Then Dave tried to tell him Ranger was also from a Veggie Tales movie about Moses. The only problem is on the movie he is called "The Lone Stranger" instead of the the lone ranger. So Jameson insists that the dog's name is "Stranger." Elliot has been in hog heaven, and I have been too. She and Ranger have spent the majority of the day outside chasing eachother around. Ranger is already doing well going potty outside since that is what Elliot does. I think we made a good choice.

My Valentines
















Today we decided to take Jameson to Charlie Safari. He loves the place and had been begging us to take him there ever since Dave got home from Hawaii. It is so hard explaining to a toddler that we will go tomorrow, not today. He wanted to bring his best friends, so we took a couple of his close friends. He is the only boy his age, so he was taking Emmalee and Callie. We were there for about 2 and a half hours and by the time we left Jameson and Emmalee could hardly keep their eyes open they were so tired.





Dave and I were able to go out 2 nights in a row. We went to a local casino with Todd and Christie on Friday night, and sushi with Daren and Sandy on Saturday night. Dave got me a new camera for my birthday, but said he was giving it to me on Valentines day so I could get used to it before the baby comes. So here are some of the pictures of the day.

The belly


Many family members have asked to see me pregnant. I finally asked my brother in law to take some pictures for us when we were in Utah a couple of weeks ago. This is really the only one I liked. Of course it is my belly and I see all the flaws. I do know that the kiddos are worth all that we go through though.
