Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails...

Last week Griffin and I went in for my 20 week ultrasound and had a very exciting surprise! We are actually having a BOY!!! The ultrasound technician was doing the routine checks and asked what gender we were told the baby was...We told her it was a girl. As we were watching the ultrasound screen we saw her type the words "UH OH!!" and "OH BOY"! We were in absolute shock and so excited!! He is healthy and growing perfectly. That next moring I returned all of my girl clothes for little boy ones :) Can't wait to meet you little guy!


Profile- Doesn't he have a darling profile!



Look close and you can see him sucking his thumb!

Sugar and spice and everything nice...

Looks like we will be adding a baby GIRL to our family!!! Griffin and I are so excited for this little girlie to come. I am now 18 weeks and feeling her move quite a bit lately. She is definitely her fathers daughter with all of that energy she has in there :) Being pregnant for the first time is something so incredible. I always wondered what it was like and how on earth it would be like to be pregnant. Well now i know, and it has been so neat and I hope i will never forget what its been like to go through it for the first time. (this blog will help with being able to remember) Anyway, we love ya little girl in there! Keep on kicking because it makes this whole thing all the more exciting.

A couple weeks ago Griffin and I celebrated out 2nd anniversary! I love you Griffin and feel very lucky to be married to you. Thank you for being a wonderful husband! Two down, a million to go :)

Paint.

When Griffin and I get back from California i plan on painting our kitchen cabinets. I am having so much fun looking for colors but also frustrated because i cant decide on what i want! Sooo i am asking for help. Please leave a comment and give me your honest (but nice) opinions haha.



I love this kitchen. I have considered painting them white. The wood counter top in this picture are pretty close to what we have and i think it looks so nice and clean.



I have also considered painting them gray. The wood floor in this is pretty close to the color of our wood floor in our kitchen. Gray?!



I havent found a perfect blue paint color but i do like light blue..probably not as baby blue as this kitchen.



I also like it all white with the inside painted a cute color.



Love this blue color.



Half and Half? Top white bottom gray?



This is the same picture as before but they changed the paint color to be brighter..brighter blue? (can you tell i am struggling on a decision)



Love the colors in this photo.

Sooo your thoughts?!

While my mom and maddy were in town we all went down to the dog beach! It was the first time i had ever taken darla there. For the most part she just hung out by us and sun bathed :)

Enjoying the sun!!

Mom, Maddy and Darla

Considering putting darla in the water :)

So this picture above is of Darla bolting back to our towels righ after she decided to take off after a frisbee! Okay my dog has never chased a toy in her entire life basically! But something about that frisbee got her all excited!

And this is her still being hyper crazy dog running around...(mom, maddy, nicole, marvin, darla)

Griffin after a long day or work...





Griffin has been super tired lately when he gets home from work. The other night he was fast asleep on the couch. I tried waking him up to go to bed...when i came back in the room this was as far as he had gotten. :)



I have a lot of time on my hands in the morning before i head to work and have been feeling the need to get crafty. Today i created these little onesies. Not sure who i will be giving them to yet...(Brianna if you find out your having a girl they are yours!)

Peanut Butter

I'm sure you are all very sick of seeing pictures of my dog...but im sorry i had to post this.

Darla comes to work with me and today i brought peanut butter and bananas for a snack. She started messing with the jar and I didnt really think anything of it till i looked down and saw this!

She opened a jar of peanut butter!!! How does a dog do that?
