Winter Wonderland



We have been putting off getting the Christmas decorations out because it takes sooo long to put out. This year was even more difficult because we had to rearrange the living room due to new furniture. I'm anxious to see what changes we will have to make next year having a baby in the house. Anyway...here are some pictures.

Addison's Room


We are so excited about Addison's arrival. We have talked about the stages we wanted to take in getting her room ready. I wanted to get it put together slowly so I don't become more antsy than I already am. So last weekend we emptied the room out. This weekend Paul's parents came over and painted the room. This was a big help considering Paul is horrible at painting and I can't breathe in the fumes. They did a great job and we are so thankful for their help. We will keep you updated along the way:)

Happy Thanksgiving



Our families have so many things to be thankful for this past year. With graduations, new jobs, weddings, pregnancies, births, milestone birthdays, and so much more, it is hard to not be thankful.

I was most blessed by the opportunity I had to spend another Thanksgiving with my PopPop. I had the most wonderful visit with him this past week. I was able to spend a lot of one-on-one time with him. We talked about everything! On Thanksgiving he ate a large meal and then was even hungry for dessert. This is a big deal considering he hasn't wanted to eat for a long time. After eating a large meal we were sitting in the living room and he told me that he was tired. When he noticed I was too, we took a short nap together. He reminded me of the importance of time spent with family. It didn't matter what we were doing or talking about, it was just a joy to have that time.

Paul and I are so thankful for our families and the love we are surrounded by. We are especially excited about our new addition and the begining of our own family.

Happy 50th Birthday







Last week we celebrated Linda's 50th Birthday. On Wednesday Dennis suprised Linda by taking her on a trip to the mountains. When they returned we had a suprise birthday party at the Club House. Here are some pictures from her exciting birthday week!

6 months








I hope you don't get tired of me posting pictures of myself...but this whole experience is so wonderful. The time is flying by so fast and I am trying to embrace it all before everything changes. A part of me is sad about the thought of not being pregnant and a part of me is happy about Addison's arrival. I will have my next check-up on Tuesday so I will be able to post more pictures of Addison. I have been growing so fast this month so I am excited about seeing the difference in the Ultrasound. I just pray that everything will be great and that Addison is continuing to grow into a healthy baby.

Connor Floyd Cook





Kasey and Marshall became proud parents on November 2,2007. Kasey gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Connor Floyd Cook, who weighed 6 1/2 pounds and was 19 1/2 inches long. It is so amazing the love you can have for a new baby. We are so proud of Kasey and Marshall, they are doing such a great job as parents. Here are some pictures of the most beautiful baby boy in the world...
