Guitar Hero

This afternoon we spent a little time playing our new Wii game, Guitar Hero.  Matt bought it for Kenny and I and showed us how to play.  Matt is by far a better guitarist then Kenny or I.  He could play the hard level and pass the songs.  Kenny picked it up pretty fast and I have a hard time with the hand eye coordination on the easy level.  It is definitely a lot harder then it looked, well at least to me.  The notes fly by you on the screen and you have to hit the correct color on the guitar and strum at the same time!!  If you miss too many notes the crowd boos you off stage!  I got booed of :)  It is a lot of fun, but we both need a lot more practice.  We'll have to get that in before Felipe comes!!

Addie wondering what in the world all that racket is :)

Dodger Dog

In light of the Dodgers sweeping the Diamondbacks they are now a game and a half in front of them putting them in first place in the National League West.  We decided to take a picture of our two biggest fans, one of them being our very own Dodger Dog.

This one is for you Pool family!

My First Baby Shower

Well, last weekend we surprised my Mom for her birthday with a weekend with her daughters.  All us sisters, and Mom of course, were together and had a blast.  My sisters and Mom surprised me with a shower by mail.  Friends and family from home (Wisconsin) were invited and my sisters presented me with the surprise and gifts of my very first baby shower.  It was a lot of fun and am thankful for my friends and family who participated.

So Far.....

Well, this is what I have so far.  It is almost finished.  I am just missing a few decorative things, and the baby of course:)  There are some things out that will eventually get put away too.  I am really happy with how it has turned out and am excited for him to get here.  A lot of it was my sister Sandy's idea, Thanks!

I found this furniture on Craigslist while at my sisters house.

The brown bench is from Sandy and the colors couldn't have been any better to go with what I already had.

To the right of the "iron baseball man" we are going to put his name.

Another Cute One...

Addie after a hard days work or maybe play is a better word.

28 Weeks..

Well I'm officially 28 weeks, meaning only 12 left!  Time has sure flown by.  I had a doctors appointment on Thursday and Kenny was able to go with me.  We had another ultrasound, upon request, and we got to see how much he has grown in 8 weeks.  He was quite active trying to grab his feet and kicking.  The doctor said everything is looking good.  I start going every 2 weeks now and I need to get some more lab work done this week.  I might as well just set up camp outside :) 

This one's for you Katy!!

Baby's Room

Well, with the help of Sandy I have started to decorate the baby's room.  The theme is vintage sports.

This is the blanket that the room is centered around.

I painted these to match the blanket.

This is the valance I made

Half Way There!

Well last week I had my official ultrasound to check measurements and make sure all is well.  It was really neat to be able to see him and how much bigger he is than last time.  He was very active flipping around, yawning, and moving his eyes around.  I have also been able to start to feel him kicking and sometimes he is very active!  I am 21 weeks, half way there!!  Here are a few of the better pictures from that day.

It's a Boy!!!

Well, here is the latest ultrasound picture and if you didn't get by the title, we are having a boy!  We are both really excited, especially Kenny.  He can't wait to do boy things with him :).  My appointment went well and he looks healthy.  He is bout 4 inches head to butt.  In the picture he is facing you.  The arrow is pointing to his mouth.  You can also see his jaw bones, nose bone, and eyes.  We are thankful that all is well with him and we pray for continuous health.

All Wrapped Up

I was taking the sheets off our bed to be washed and she just wouldn't move. I guess she was really tired!

LAPD Graduation

This is Kenny marching in. The weather ended up not being so good so they had to move the graduation inside. They ended up having to cut out a lot of the marching because of it being indoors.

This is Kenny spacing himself with the rest of his squad.

Nap Time with Addie

Well Addie sure did warm up fast to my parents. She is a very cuddly dog and shows it in these pictures below. When I came home from taking my parents to the Flyaway Tuesday morning Addie was wondering all over trying to find my parents. She misses you guys and hope to see you again soon!

Baby Bump

Here is a picture taken of me yesterday. I am starting to get a little baby bump. Everything has been going well and my next doctors appointment is June 3rd. Kenny and I are excited to see the next ultrasound picture because it has been so long. I will be 16 weeks by the next appointment and the last time I was there was at 10 weeks. That seems like a long time and I know the baby will be so much bigger. 

The Pinning....

We had a really great time last Friday at Kenny's pinning. It was a very neat experience. Here are a few pictures of that day.

Dancing Baby!!!

Well, there he/she is. I am 10 weeks today and we got an official due date today and it is November 7th. Kenny was able to go with me again and we got to see what looks more like a baby and not a ball! The baby was still for the first part of the ultrasound then started to flail it's arms and legs. We saw the flicker of the heartbeat and the umbilical cord too. It was soo neat to see!! In the picture the baby's head is at the bottom and it's arms and leg are in those little nubs you see on the sides and bottom, well top, of the picture. Kenny said it looks like a little teddy bear! As we were leaving I asked Kenny if he wanted to keep a picture of his baby in his wallet? I laughed cause I was making a joke, ya know how dads have actual pictures of their kids and families in their wallet, and Kenny said seriously "Yeah I should, then I can show my buddies at the academy"! My joke kinda flopped!

Tomorrow I go for a more in depth glucose test because my first one was high. The test is over 3 hours and they draw blood every hour. If it comes back high again I will be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. One of the side affects is a LARGE baby. I am doomed between this and the fact that large babies running in my family!

We are very thankful for everything going well and the baby growing. We are amazed by the little miracle growing inside me!

Works of Art

Thank You Anna, Jack and Leah for the beautiful works of art! I really appreciate the time and thoughtfulness that went into your drawings.

Baby Johnson

Well for those of you who don't know Kenny and I are going to be parents! We are very excited and pray that we have a healthy baby and a good pregnancy! Today I had yet another ultrasound but the difference is I got to come hoe with a picture. I also heard the heartbeat today and barley saw the little, and I mean little, flicker on the monitor today! For those of you who haven't looked at an ultrasound in a while the baby is between the little markers in the picture, along with a flicker for the heartbeat!

A Day at the Park!

Last Sunday Kenny, Addie and I met Dad and the Waymeyer clan at the park half way between where we live. We ate at In-n-Out then headed on over to the park for a couple of hours. The weather was very nice in the sun and a little windy but we all had a great time. It was so good to see you Dad!

Addie, Again!

Not another picture I am trying to sleep!


Addie all snuggled up! She is our baby!
