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

I lov the surfer girl theme! I'm wanting to do an old style surfer theme in the boys room. We did the chair railing mid-wall in the girls room with hawaiian shell pink on the bottom and an antique/eggshell white on the top. For the boys room I wanted to do a similar thing but in sand and antique blue (I found some cute surfboard decals for the walls that gave me the idea.
I get so excited for you gyuys hearing baout all the "firsts". Like you feeling her first kicks, or seeing her for hte first time. Such a magical time!
Love it! Can't wait to talk to you in person about everything!
