Our first Child

With all of the baby stuff going on around our house we can't forget Kristin's first little one. As you can see, Buddy is a very happy dog who can't wait to have a new little brother or sister.

Very late Birthday Pics.

I know that we are a month behind on posting this but oh well, here it goes. It was the not so important 32nd birthday party. We gathered a good group of friends and rented a big 15 passenger van so that everyone could party together and travel safe. We were all together in the van on our way for a night of fun when the entire van started shaking really bad on the highway. I pulled over to inspect the tires when to my dismay the rear tire needed to be changed. It took five guys to figure how to change a tire in this rental van. WOW! (really only two but the other three stood around and looked busy) After that was all said and done we were back on the road headed up to Scottsdale for the night. We started out having dinner and drinks at Saddle Ranch. It is a crazy country western restaurant/bar with a mechanical bull. We had a group of 14 or so for dinner and we sat outside on the patio. It was really cool until it started raining on our dinners. Yes you heard me right, rain in the desert! After a few drinks and several shots we headed over to watch Gilbert Godfried live on stage. It was a real funny show. We met Gilbert Godfried and got our picture with him. (see above photo) We headed back to the bars after the show for more drinks and fun. My friend Justin and I destroyed everyone in a beer pong tourney at this bar called Gilligan's. No one could stop us. The night gets blurry after that... Kristin drove everyone home safely. The car ride home was much quieter than the car ride out. Funny how that happens.

Here's to another year and another birthday passed.

We Have a strong Heart beat!

We went to another doctors visit today and things are moving along ever so smoothly. We got to hear the heart beat again and it is stronger and slightly slower than the last time we heard it. We are both really excited. It almost seems unreal. Kristin is just ever so slightly starting to show and she is looking forward to not being sick anymore. Tomorrow will start our 14th week and they say any day now she will start to feel better.

Lots of speculation of whether it's a boy or a girl or if we are having twins or not. Our doctor has not ruled out that we could be having twins just yet. We have them on both sides of our families and for some reason I have this funny feeling we could have twins. We will find out next month the sex and number of babies. Other than that I don't care if we have boys or girls as long as they are healthy and get their good looks from their mother.

We will keep you updated as the weeks come and go.

Funny video for the day

Every friday I am going to post a funny video. Today is a classic story of two brothers and the things they like. Enjoy.

YAHTZEE

The weather is finally cooling off around here so people are slowly starting to hang outside again. This means it's time for Yahtzee. No, not the dice game. I am talking about team Yahtzee, the softball team. We are ready to start another fun filled season of co-ed softball. Unfortunately we are losing our star girl player (Kristin) because of her pregnancy. She will be sorely missed on the field but she will be at every game giving the team support.

Our league plays every friday night starting Oct 3rd. This league is different from our last season because now we play double headers ever friday night. Last season we only play one game per night. Double the games means double the winning. (if this is true we should win two games this time around) I think it's going to be a blast. Most of our core team returned but we have a couple new comers to help boost us to the championship. GOOOOOO YAHTZEE!!!!!!!!

NEW RIDE

I am went down a path I never thought I would. I bought an SUV. Well, I had to rebel slightly by buying a crossover. (Mitsubishi Outlander) It is really awesome. I got rid of my old car and upgraded to a daddy mobile. I had to it make it as cool as possible by getting it with big tires and rims, a nine speaker Rockford Fosgate sound system including a 12 inch subwoffer built in, tinted windows and a sun roof. Now I have plenty of room for all the really cool stuff dads have to carry around when they have a baby.... I am so cool.

WE HAVE NEWS!

Yep - it's confirmed, we are having a baby!!! The due date is April 1, 2009. We found out a couple of months ago but are finally making it public now that Kristin is in her second trimester.

It has definitely been a rough 8 weeks with a lot of sickness, tiredness, and throwing up. Everyone says it gets better in the second trimester - HOPEFULLY SOON!!!!

A couple of weeks ago we went to the doctor and we were able to hear a heartbeat. According to our doctor, everything looks and sounds good. We are going to find out whether we are having a boy or a girl at the end of October!! Can't wait!
