New Boat!















For those of you that don't know, Devon is very into buying boats and fixing them up. We had a really fun little yellow boat last year that we enjoyed so much! It was a great investment and such a fun thing to do on weekends. We sold it during the winter and this year, we looked for an upgrade. We found it! It needs a lot of work, but that's been part of the fun. Devon and Matt have been using the spare time they have to work on the wiring and order seats and carpet and vinyl. They just bought a motor for it which should come next week! I imagine we'll be out on the water by Saturday knowing them :)

The fun features we're excited about:
1. Open bow!!! I love being in the bow of a boat, our last one was closed. Wahoo! So excited.
2. Bigger! Our last boat fit about four adults comfortably. This one should very easily fit 6+!
3. We could wakeboard on our old boat, but not tube. This one we can tube too!
Don't forget these are before pics :)
Any suggestions for names for the boat? Let us know!! :)
P.S. Ten weeks tomorrow! We're so excited for our baby!

Exciting News!!

Devon and I are so excited! We are going to have a baby in October!! I'm due October 18th. Two days before my birthday. I woke up early and couldn't sleep and told Devon that I wanted to take a pregnancy test. Luckily we had one at home. I looked at the stick and got so excited cause I could see the second line. Dev didn't believe me at first, but I kept telling him, it's there, it's there!! Finally he believed me. We were so so excited! Of course I did the Jessi thing and had to go get another test! We headed off to Albertson's and found out they don't open until six. There we are in whatever clothes we could throw on waiting outside Alberton's at five fifty six in the morning. The second test confirmed it and we are just so thrilled. I called my doctor and went in for a blood test that day. They monitored my blood for the next few days to make sure my levels were rising. Once they reached about 2000,(5 1/2 weeks) we had our first ultrasound. They could see the sac was in the right place, but couldn't see the baby yet so we had to wait around ten more days. When we were seven weeks along we had another ultrasound. We got to see our little itty bitty baby and it's heart beating!! I was just so happy it was in the right place! We told our parents and a few people for different reasons around five weeks and told our close friends and family yesterday.(8 weeks!) My mom is so excited to be a grandma! She got us some cute little white onesies and a willow tree statue with a mom and dad and baby. It's so cute! Devon is just so excited to start on the nursery. He already has plans of how he wants it to look. I picked out an armoire and dresser that I liked and he's already started building them. We are so so excited to have a new addition to our family!!
