"What Happened?"

I love in the middle of his dance when he falls down and says, "What happened?" That's my funny boy!

Baby Dahmer

We thought we'd send out a little update with our 20-week ultrasound pictures. As most of you know, this pregnancy has had some rough spots in it with some placental abruption (part of my placenta pulled away from the uterus wall, causing bleeding) and placenta previa (where the placenta is covering part of the cervix. This could result in a c-section because the baby needs to come out before the placenta.) We are happy to say that at this last ultrasound the placenta was no longer covering the cervix (no placenta previa) and there were no signs of my placental abruption. The baby is measuring great, has a great heartbeat, and is very active. I'm doing great now, too, especially knowing that he is doing so well. Yes, they cofirmed at least 5 more times that we are definitely having a boy. The last ultrasound picture we included is probably the best "boy" picture I've ever seen.:) Hopefully, he won't care too much when he's older.:) Thanks for everyone's prayers, concerns and help. The greatest blessings that have come through this experience is knowing that miracles do happen, that our Heavenly Father loves us and will always be there for us, and that he sends angels (all of you) to give us aid when we need it most.

Beckham Rolling Over

Easter Island

The other night the snow was just too good to pass up so after Coop went down, our good friends Joey & Kathryn came over and this is what we did.

Think of the movie "Get Smart" when he sees the assasin and yells "Easter Island, Easter Island!" This is our own authentic Easter Island head. We just can't get enough of the snow!

Coop's New Room

So here it is! The finished product! For those who don't remember, this room used to be covered with lovely green and gold stripes, now it's a cute little boy room. Thankfully Caleb helped me this time and I'm not so burned out after painting! Coop sure likes his new bed...although I have not been brave enough to have him sleep in it yet ;-)

Beckham

A Visit from Santa

Maddy had no problems hopping up there and giving her list.

Coop wasn't so sure.

Neither was Beckham.

This was as close as he would get.

Soon enough he'll learn that he needs to suck up to the big guy!

Gundy Kung Fu Panda 2008

The snow was perfect for the "sort-of" annual Gundy creation. So we created our newest favorite disney character, "Po". After he was almost finished we decided that unless we put some black on his eyes, nose and ears people wouldn't be able to tell who he was so Tyler got out the black spray paint to do the final touches. Notice the Kung Fu pose and the bowl of noodles his has in his fright hand. It was a fun evening.
