25

...could refer to the fact that I'll soon be a quarter of a century old

OR


...it could refer to the number of shoes I own.


BUT


The number 25 also signifies how far along I am in my first pregnancy!

(24 weeks)

That's right! 25 weeks down, only 15 to go. (25 weeks)

We are so very excited to be welcoming baby BOY Robbert here January 12, 2012.

(Don't pay attention to my angry face in the pictures....I just struggle trying to take picture of myself from the side)

We can hardly wait to be parents and snuggle this sweet baby in our arms!

Best. Photo. Ever.

After living in Idaho for 6 years, I finally attended the Eastern Idaho State Fair. And although you spend ridiculous amounts of money on food that is certain to contribute to a heart attack, it is still totally worth it.

Brian had to "fully experience" the Fair by trying one of these turkey legs. I helped him by eating a bite or two.....but in the end, he defeated it!

Other highlights of the evening include:


Watching Brian pitch baseballs
Racing Cars
And seeing the "Masters of the Chainsaw" create these awesome statues.

Probably the most entertaining part of the whole event was the people watching. The carnival workers were definitely voted the "creepers of the night". And then there are always the attendees with the nasty mullets, people with their stomachs hanging out of the bottom of their shirts, and the teenagers who shouldn't be allowed out of the house.

Needless to say....we will probably go back next year.

Handy Man

Love that the husband bought this old dresser, so he could fix it up and re-sell it. But when he brought it home, I liked it too much and convinced him to fix it up so we could keep it!

Before the summer came to an end, we headed up to West Yellowstone to go to the Play Mill to see "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels". We love that Nate and Kate are always happy to accompany us :) And they let us stay the night at their family cabin in Island Park and eat breakfast with their grandparents......so they are pretty much the best!
