Christian is in the very back...can you spot him? :)

Amazing formation.

Mom, Dad, and I were able to witness all this and it was an amazing experience! We are so proud of our Boo Bear :) Not so much a Boo Bear anymore though, but a solider.

Ultrasound Picture!

Here is the ultrasound pic of our baby! He/she looks like a lil' alien/peanut right now :) You can see his/her hands and and feet. My next doctor's appt is November 5th, and the baby will be 15 weeks. I am hoping we will find out the sex of the baby then. This last ultrasound the baby looked he/she was dancing, moving his/her hands and feet. It was so adorable!!! We were also able to hear and see the heartbeat. :)

I'M PREGGO!!!

Darrell & I are expecting! We think I am 9 weeks along, but the first doctors appt. is Wed. Sept 23rd and we will find out for sure. We are super excited! We will post ultrasound pictures as soon as I get some.

Currently, we are living in Arnolds Park, IA and will probably be here until the end of November or so. We had a great summer, but I fear the cold winter! :(

Christian just finished Marine boot camp and is now back in Cali. for more training. Graduation was awesome and I'm so glad I was able to make it! Pictures of him coming soon!

Arapahoe

Pictures of the family from back in April of the during a trip to Arapahoe, NE for Grandpa Proud's funeral. It was nice for all the family to get together and spend some quality time together. We were being silly and just having fun.

NEW YEAR...NEW ADVENTURES!

"Louie" (his shirt says "Ruff-er-ree") I never thought I would be the person to dress my dog but when it's -10 with a windchill of -20 to -40...it's a must! He doesn't have any fur, just one layer of hair that keeps growing long like humans do, so he gets cold fast!

Well Yes, it's true...Darrell finally gave in and got us a puppy on December 13th!! Louie is a Maltipoo (Maltese/Toy Poodle) and he is will be four months old on Jan 18th. Unfortunately, he broke his leg on New Years Day by jumping off the steps either landing on it wrong or hitting the table leg (we're not sure how exactly it happened). We had to get surgery in Great Falls and is now in a wrap/splint for 2 weeks and he will finally get it off tomorrow! He's a great dog, but he still has a lot to learn! He's our own personal paper shredder and he has bad seperation anxiety--he follows us everywhere! It wouldn't be that bad if we were able to let him run around and follow us, but because his leg needs to heal, he needs to stay in one area or in his kennel. The cool thing is he doesn't shed, he's hypoallergenic, he will only get to about 5 lbs., and he loves everyone! I don't have any pictures of his hurt leg, but I'll have to take some and post them.

Other news is we will be moving to Texas within a week (more or less). I'm not sure we're ready, but what's new...we have to be! But I am excited to be in warm weather!!!
