Chicken Dance

This is a little blurry, but you can see Paisley in the middle in a black shirt and purple pants. 

She had a blast.

Promised Pictures

Ok, so I don't have a lot of pictures, but here are some.

As I said before, George took me to Seattle to a wonderful hotel and out to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants-Cheescake Factory.  They had this new cheescake-Red Velvet-it was good.  We actually ended up taking 3 pieces of different cheesecake back to our hotel to nibble on for later that night.
We went shopping and attempted to go to a movie, but there was just nothing interesting.

While in Seattle, we took a little detour to Renton to IKEA.  We needed two things to prep for the arrival of the new baby.  One was another dresser and the other another crib mattress.
So, we had a blast at IKEA and spent way too much. 
We ended up picking up two dressers-one for Paisley and one for the new baby.  We were replacing that aging white one you can see in the background.  Here is George and Paisley putting them together.

And the final product!!!!  They are great.  6 drawers each and we are all set now.
Unless it is a boy of course...then we will need a few more things.

We picked up these cute coat hangers.  They are puppy tails.  Paisley loved them.

George spoiled me by buying me these things and more from William and Sonoma.
I have been wanting this roller because the ends give you the perfect thickness for what you need to roll out.  3 different thicknesses just by changing out the end circles.  I also wanted this cupcake corer so I can make filled cupcakes. 

We decorated for Halloween.

Paisley is such a great helper.

She is showing me her spider ring.

I ordered her Cinderella costume complete with glass slippers that light up.

We are all ready to go now.

In addition, to this I finished two more classes for school and have a 2 week break until the next one starts. 

This weekend George went to the cabin with Paisley and met up with his mom and brother.  I had some Young Women obligations, so I stayed behind.  They went to the Octoberfest Celebration where Paisley had a ball.  Kona has a chicken dance video that I will post of Paisley when he sends it to me. Standy by for that one.
Until next time...

35th Birthday Wishes

Thank you all for the birthday wishes and all the fabulous goodies.

I have pictures, but I will post those later.  I'll try to get to those tonight.

George swept me away to Seattle for a get-a-way weekend and he spoiled me as usual.

Yesterday I took my actual birthday off to spend with my favorite girl Paisley!!! 

She sang to me all day and was a complete angel.  I couldn't have asked for a better birthday.

George and I laugh that we are now both in the next category when they ask for your age on things.

35 and counting!!!!  

FHE Bowling

This weekend was jammed packed full of things to do.

First, Friday I went to the movies with 3 friends on base. 

I have not been back there since I quit 5 years ago now.

Saturday we had the opportunity to spend the day with my mom and family.  It was my mom's birthday last week and with everyone's schedules we could only get together that day. 

We picked her blackberries and made cobbler, we had lunch and enjoyed family time.

Saturday night I had the opportunity to go to a women's broadcast and then out to dinner with a dear friend.  We talked the night away.  Thanks Linda!!!  You are fabulous.

Sunday was a church meeting, church and then another Fireside. 

You don't want me to even tell you how October is looking for church events-it is not going to be pretty. 

For Family Home Evening last night we went bowling.  We had a great time together. 

Paisley waiting patiently for her ball.

Jeneva came too.



Random Pictures

Well, since I have been really sick and not wanting to go anywhere...we have done a whole lot of nothing since we came back from the cabin.  So, here are some random pictures of what Paisley has been up too.

George asked her if she wanted tools or a doll...she choose tools.  George found these cool play tools and she has been busy ever since. 

A dear old friend sent us these two books in the mail when she found out I was expecting.  She wanted Paisley to be ready and she wanted me to have words of inspiration.  We love the books!  Thanks Janet!

Paisley spent at least a half an hour going through this Halloween costume catalog picking out what she wanted to be.  She ultimately choose to be Cinderella.  I wanted her to be the gothic rag doll, but she isn't budging.

After church Sunday, I asked her to put on some comfy clothes. This is the first outfit she goes for everytime.  It is green, her favorite color. 

Poor Paisley doesn't realize she is getting bigger.  Her costumes don't fit, but she put them on anyways.  Our little Tinker Bell.

Don't let this one fool you...she is a terror...but we love her so much!

We are still alive, but...

Things have been rough lately due to my pregnancy.  I am having massive morning sickness all day long, got the flu over the weekend, classes are on the 5th week of 8 and I am having to work really hard to keep my A's.  Add this to work and church and I am struggling to keep it together.  There are definitely days that I want to go home and nap,but alas...that is not what professionals do!  We stick it out and we press on. 

Many thanks to those of you that have offered to help out.  We so appreciate you all!!!

I will be blogging soon...I promise...I hope.

Labor Day Weekend

We went to the cabin this Labor Day weekend for some fun and R&R.  The boats were out in full force.

This is where I like to be...on the dock, book in hand and soaking in the sun.

My mini me sat along side and ate all my white cheddar popcorn.

This girls came too.  They all went fishing and crabbing.

Farmer's Market was fabulous as usual.

The weather could not be beat.  Sun all weekend long.

Paisley loves to go boating now.  The sun was in her face in this one.

George's mom had the cabin painted this year.  It look fabulous!
Great color scheme and all.

Some pooped out girls.  We went Thursday after work and came back Monday aftenoon.
I am glad to be home.  I had a hard weekend actually...morning sickness getting the better of me.
