Kaden's 7th Birthday

Kaden is 7! Time flies! Kaden enjoyed his 7th birthday party at the Sherwood Fieldhouse. He and 18 of his friends played flag football and soccer. They had a great time!

30 weeks and 3 days....

Belly shots to come... I promise! I am now almost 31 weeks, with 8 weeks to go. I am finally starting to feel BIG. Khaley is very active, and loves to keep me up throughout the night. I have been getting contractions here and there (yes, Braxton Hicks), but nothing to be concerned about, at this point. Gage and Kaden find it entertaining to watch their little sister "swim"around in my belly!

Merry Christmas from our Family to Yours

Snow Storm December 08

Portland saw a record 18-22 inches of snow, the week before Christmas! Kevin and I still had to trek in to work, and the boys enjoyed the week in Sunriver with their Nana and Papa! They had their own snow there.

22 Weeks and counting!

Finally, a few belly shots- I was a little hesitant about taking belly pictures, but I think it's fun to watch it grow! You think you're big, but it just gets bigger! We will be 23 weeks on Dec 3rd. I may look small, but the baby is measuring perfectly normal, and I am gaining just enough weight! I'm sure we will see her push out very soon. Right now, she is hiding more towards my back, hence all of the back pain I am experiencing! Eventually, she will run out of room, and will have to expand her living space!

Finding the Perfect Tree

I think this was Kevin's first time cutting a fresh tree down. He won't admit it, I'm sure, but he was not so thrilled about the physical labor it entailed! We had fun searching for one that was not too big, but not too small either. Gage and Kaden wanted to help saw, but Kevin had a hard enough time doing it, so they just helped with the branches and carrying it back to the car.

Thanksgiving Weekend

Kevin and I celebrated our 1st Thanksgiving together this year! (hard to believe, I know)

We missed the boys dearly, but they enjoyed spending the holiday with their Dad and Grandparents in Cottage Grove.
