A great weekend!!

this was a few weekends back but I was waiting to post another picture with it but I cant find it so here we go!
this is not baby Summer's room, just the furniture we bought from the catalog.
We had a great weekend. Friday night Dave took me on a special date to the Cannery where we had our little reception after our beach wedding. We had the best time. The food was amazing and it was really neat to be there to just sit and remember Our Wedding. We went outside to the patio where we had had our first dances from the Ipod and last minute brownie cake the restaurant made for us. We had wanted to go their for our one year Anniversary but I was still feeling really sick from my pregnancy at that time and couldn't eat much so we decided to wait. I am so glad we did because the food was so good!
Then Saturday we went shopping for our baby crib and furniture. Carol is so sweet and wanted to buy us the baby crib which was really great, so we all went to Babies R Us! We found one we really loved and then we also bought the matching furniture to go with it.. It is going to take a few weeks to come in but I can't wait to put it in Baby Summer's little room!
Saturday night we went to the Monster Truck Jam with some great friends and had a lot of fun, and Then Sunday we started back to our Sunday School class that we hadnt been to in a while and it was absolutely so great! The group of people is just really neat. It is mostly all young married couples with young children. It is soo funny there are 2 other girls in the class who are pregnant and one is due the day before me and the other the day after me :) so we are really excited to get connected with some of these couples.
Thanks for sharing in our lives! We love you all! Talk to you soon!

Our little Princess.

So. I am going to try to start updating our blog more often. THe key word is try :)
SO THe newest thing in our little life is that we found out we are having a little girl! We are so excited! The ultrasound was so neat. We got to see the babies hands and feet moving and the heartbeat and the little spine, You could also see some of the features of her face fairly clear which was neat. IT really was amazing! We absolutely love knowing what we are having. The anticipation, planning and shopping make it so much fun. Unless we change our mind last minute... Her name will be Summer Nicole. We just love it : ) I am currently a little over 20 weeks and I think I am starting to feel little Summer move around a little bit. I have only felt it a few times and it is kinda hard to tell at first because it doesn't feel like actual kicks yet but more like little popcorn popping or little bubbles in your stomach. but I am pretty sure it was her... This is such a cool thing!! I can't wait until i can feel her more and especially when Dave can feel her.
We are starting to think about decorating the nursery. I already picked out the bedding. IT is pink surfer theme. We are hoping to paint the room in the next few weeks. I think we are going to do it 2 shades or pink with the crown molding in the middle of the wall in white. I am having fun shopping and picking out decorations and stuff..

What else new is going on?

Dave is doing excellent at his job. He is really starting to feel comfortable and confident in his role as a manager. It has been great to watch him really step up to the challenge and he seems to really be enjoying it. He has been given this amazing opportunity to go fishing in Cabo with his dad in March for about 5 days or so. They will be flying down and then staying on the boat of one of his dad's friends. HE is SO excited and I am excited for him as I know this is one of those things he absolutely loves!

I will have the great blessing of staying home with our baby girl next year! I am so thankful for this. I have had such a great year teaching and with my students this year that i will be sad to leave but wouldn't want it any other way and know it is the best thing for us and our family.

We have decided to stay in our house for a while. We are still keeping our eyes open for an amazing deal but for the most part think it is better just to stay settled and see how things change next year with me not working and the different expenses that may arise and then look again in another year or so. I feel good and confident about this. We have been putting around our house adding little touches here and there and it feels like home.

Well I think that is it for now... Here are a few pictures of some things we bought for Summer the day we found out we were having a girl and her bedding!

Love you all
