Baby Shower #1

While in CA for thanksgiving I had my first baby shower! It was organized by my mother-in-law Connie and she did a great job with yummy food and a few cute games. We guessed how many jelly beans were in the bottles, filled out a baby trivia paper and guessed the size of my belly using string. I got lots of adorable clothes and Petra arranged for a new crib from Ed's cousin who was moving and didn't want to take it. I can't wait to put it up when Mike and Ty come up to visit in December and bring it with them!

This was taken after dinner at Aunt Carolyn's house in the backyard.

Here is everyone who came(except my mom who was taking the pic). It's so nice having both sides of family so close to each other!

Had to sneak in a picture of me and my mom who flew out just to see me and come to the shower. (and for thanksgiving dinner of course)

An adorable diaper cake that Connie made. It's hard to tell, but there are little baby booties that are very cute along with the stuffed animals around the outside. We took it apart before we went home and I couldn't believe I will really have a baby that will fit into those tiny diapers in only 2.5 months!

My eyes are closed but I love this picture because it shows Grandma Roskelley and Aunt Kathy cracking up over who knows what right before the picture. I love being around my family, they are crazy and loud and I love every minute of it.

Here are some of the cousins who came.

Grandma, Aunt Evelyn, and family friend Shelley Toolson

Thanksgiving

This year thanksgiving was in CA. We got in on Thursday and since we weren't eating with the Green's until Friday we stopped by the Roskelley side at aunt Carolyn's and snuck in some turkey and family love. My mom was also in town for the baby shower so we went to visit her.

The next day we went up to Chico to Aunt Evelyn's house for the official thanksgiving dinner. We had fun eating more delicious turkey dinner and visiting with the family.

The "kids" table

The "grown-up" table

Uncle Monty cutting up the turkey and the dogs just waiting for a piece to fall. I especially loved giving attention to the beagle who was 8 months old and reminded me of Louie.

7 months

Gettin bigger....I really need to get outside and take some cute pics instead of against the wall in my house, but it gets dark so early i never remember before its too late. Oh well. I'm starting to feel big, and i'm out of the "is she just gaining weight?" stage and into the for sure prego stage!

Lion King

We went to Lion King on Saturday. We had bought the tickets this summer and have looked forward to it for months and it finally came. We absolutely loved it!! Great actors, great costumes and amazing music

We are still students and poor so we sat in the cheapest seats, the back row, but it was a small enough theater that it wasn't bad at all and we still could see just fine

Here's the gang we went with

Us inside, the screen to the right is the advertisement outside for the show.

Outside the theater with Rafiki who had an amazing voice and sang Circle of Life. It was so good.

Halloween

So it's practically Thanksgiving, but I still wanted to put up our Halloween pics. We went to Greg and Julie Massey's for a party and had yummy food and great fun! Everyone had great costumes and were very creative, check them out

We were white trash. It was perfect because I could hang out my prego belly, and I'm holding a cigarette with my coffee. You can't see the bottom, but I have slippers on and josh has Birkenstock sandals on with one green Christmas sock and one blue byu sock.

The Barney's pulled off yet another cheap last minute costume, the superheros. She is about 8 months prego here so has a B squared on hers.

The Days were people from the Night at the Museum, the security guard, Pocahontas and the little monkey

Harris', the old peeps, love the big butt

Swanson's were H1N1, eek!

The whole group. The Massey's live in a house instead of an apt so we actually got to see some trick or treaters this year, can't wait until we have our own house some day and get to see all the cute kids!

6 Months

Here is the belly at 6 months. And I look a little scary because the couch has been my best friend for almost 3 weeks of being sick with a cold. I'm starting to get a little better, meaning sleeping more than a few hours a night and lasting more than 10 minutes at a time without coughing. Pregnancy-wise though the baby is doing great and it's almost time to start buying prego pants! Uh-oh....

Bee Sting

As I drug myself out the door to church today with a terrible cough, sore throat, and sinus congestion I got in my car and felt a pinch on my arm. I looked down and on the inside of my upper arm was a bee, stinging me. I have never been stung before, it didn't swell up too bad or anything, I was just glad I was not allergic, that would have been even more fun......pregnant, with a cold, in the hospital for a bee sting. Whew! Maybe it was because I decided to go to church today :)

Fall Has Begun!

It quickly went from 80s to 30s here in Spokane in about a weeks time. We decided to go pick out our own pumpkins and apples to embrace the season.

It was freezing and windy, but we had a good time with the Swansons and Harris'.

Josh pickin apples. We made apple crisp, it was yummy.

After we went to the apple farm we went to another one to get pumpkins and got to see the punkin chunkin which shoots pumpkins out really far into the field.

It has been about 20 years since I picked my own pumpkin from a patch! I wanted the classic cute picture of us in the patch, and all I got was my hair sticking up from the wind and a silly grin from Josh, oh well. If you squint a little you can see my original vision for the picture op.

Josh's 28th Birthday

Another year has passed in the life of Joshua Green. On October 8th we celebrated his birthday by getting together at a pizza parlor called Shakey's. Pizza is his favorite and he loved it. Friends met us there and celebrated with us and then came over to our house afterward.

His request instead of cake this year was a fruit pizza, so here he is blowing out the candles.

Here is a better picture of the amazing pizza decorating skills of Heather and I

Josh is showing off his new shoes that his sweet wife bought him
