PIZZA PANTS & BABY MYTHS

This weekend was a ton of fun. Our friends Rachel and Sam came to visit from Peoria, IL. We really didn't do too much...but they are the type of friends that you can just hang out with and and do nothing and love every minute of it.

Over the last 10 years Rachel's mom, Rella, has made most of us the awesome pajama pants we are all sporting in the picture. Mine have a golf theme, Rachel's have a pizza theme and Sam's have a football theme. Jon decided to act sad in all the pictures because he does not have pair of the most comfortable pants ever!!





Rachel and sam are expecting their first baby in July and so we did some baby furniture shopping and laughed a lot about all of the myths that people have come up with to determine your babies sex without ultrasound. We decided to put a few of them to the test and then see which ones hold true when they get their ultrasound in mid-February.
The majority of our highly scientific research pointed towards girl - although the hold the wedding ring on a string over the baby test to see how it spins was inconclusive!!




Thanks for coming guys - we miss you already!!

WHICH ONE? Vote on your favorite.......

So, I need some help. I have the honor of being in Nicole and Grant's http://grantandnicole.blogspot.com wedding this year and Nicole is totally practical and is letting the bridesmaids pick their own dress style out of a list of options. I have narrowed it down to two, but cant' decide. I figured I should let people vote on which one they like the best for some input!

Here is Dress #1:

Here is Dress #2

Vote on which one you like the best to the right! Both will be in the brown color, I just couldn't find a picture of one of the styles in brown.

House Updates

We have been getting a few requests from family and friends that know we have been busy with home improvement to post a few new pictures of our house updates. We haven't taken any updated pictures of the inside since we painted etc., but I just took a few updated pictures of the outside, so I figured I would share them with everyone. The big changes are the new windows and door. Updated pictures of the inside to come soon in a future post!

Notice that all of our snow melted as of today! It was 45 and there are just a few patches of snow in our yard now.
