What's Kickin'

18 weeks

feelin' good.

Thanks Jackson's for the sweet handcrafted shirt. I love it.

crazy cakes

For Stephanie's work Halloween party she made some pretty sweet cakes. She didn't win...mostly because someone else was telling people not to vote for her cakes because she wasn't there...but that's another story. I guess she found some cakes on the internet and she thought she could make them...and I must say they turned out pretty darn good. So here they are...I think she should have won.

pretty good huh?

Ted's Hot Dogs

While at work one day, some guy found out that George is from New York... that guy continued to tell George about this hot dog place that started in New York and it is so good and they have these hot dogs called "White Hots." At this point George is floored and rubbing his nose in excitement! "I LOVE WHITE HOTS!" Exclaims George. George has is phone out and is finding the AZ location... and lo and behold it is right around the corner from my baby doctor.... ggggreeeatt.

So after my last doctors appointment we were there! It was kinda fun. They even have local New York newspapers to read and every up state New York College is represented.... George was in white hot heaven!

And now we have a tradition... after the baby appointments we will have Ted's... the french fries were good.

And in Baby news.... all is well! I feel great, I have moments of back pain and when I sneeze I want to kill myself for 2.5 seconds (all of which the Doc is not worried about). I am 18 weeks today! The appointment is set for my next ultra sound where we will find out the gender (George still claims that he only "makes boys" but we will see). And it is all still very unreal... When I am being still in bed or just sitting at work doing nothing I can feel that little babe... so fuN! We are on the look out for a new place to live, 3rd floor, one bedroom, just isn't going to work, and as always trying to improve George's employment. Life is good!

13 weeks

At 13 weeks, I feel great! I have very little sickness... I eat ALLLLL the time. And my back hurts but other then that I have had it pretty easy. The only thing I can complain about is whether or not I'm fat or its the baby... I like to think its a combo of both of those factors.


Sucking in... hence the I cant breath face...

Letting it all hang out....

Next MAJOR thing that needs to happen... George seriously needs a better job. I would REALLY REALLY like to stay home with my baby... so any leads in any part of the country sound good to us.

Say What?!?!

Baby Wyatt... Due March 25, 2011

Today's Fun Facts

So yesterdays dust storm was pretty awesome. Apparently it was among the largest in Arizona history. It was something like 70 miles wide and went anywhere from 3-4000 feet in the air with 35-60 mph winds, it was pretty crazy indeed. It went from a pretty decent day to black in just a few min, and it didn't clear up until after dark. This is what I learned from the storm...I called it a dust storm and Stephanie promptly corrected me, so I added ..."The Monsoon" to the title. Then, on the news, they called it a Haboob, so I corrected my error and changed my title to ..."The Haboob". Anyways, a haboob is an intense sandstorm common to arid areas of the world. Monsoons are associated with rain, and we didn't get the rain. So I learned something new.

Haboob circa. 1930.....the dustbowl

Haboob circa 2011....crazy dust storm

I think I know just a little bit how they felt during the dustbowl. -George
