Thanksgiving 2009

This year we did Thanksgiving at our house, again, but this year is was with my side of the family (the Turnbows). My mom is getting new floors so it was just easier.

Mike and I did the Turkey, corn bread stuffing, potatoes, green bean casserole, and vegtables with homemade yummy ranch dip.Then everyone else brought the rest.

My mom and I made pies the night before together. I made 3 pumpkin, 2 chocolate cream, and 2 marionberry.

The day for the most part was relaxing and fun. We all ate too much.

When we were done eating Tallene, my mom, Kimberly and I all pilled in the car and went to Michael's Crafts for there sale. It was a lot busier then we expected.

We then returned home to eat pie (one of each kind) and play games.

Mike and I then went to bed way to late to get up and be at Walmart by 4:30am. I was able to get most of my shopping done on Saturday!

The Food!

And Family!

I got you Nathan.

June Baby Update

I know I am a little behind, but I wanted to get this down. A lot of things happened in June to get ready for the baby.

The first thing is that the Dr. Appointment on the 11th went well. The heart beat was strong and she is moving around a lot. I have been able to feel her kick many times.

On the 17th we had our Home Study inspection. For this we had to fill out a large packet of information about ourselves and family members. Everything went well and we received the signed approval back the last week of June.

Before the Home Study we decided to get the baby's room done. So, thanks to Tallene, Mac and their family it was complete in just a couple of days.

Here is the room before:

The closet doors

Mac sanded all the doors and drawers.

And the After!

It took a lot of paint to get rid of the orange.

Mike and Mac did a great job on the trim around the room, windows, and doors. Tallene and I painted all the trim and doors. Then Mike and I painted the walls.

Here is the curtains that I made.
