New things!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

Cute little Halloween Monkey!!

Wow! We have so many new things going on! We're very very blessed. Dev just got a new job with L-3 Communications! He'll be making more money plus getting benefits as an intern! My sweet little boy is five weeks today! It goes by too fast. Devon got a new calling, he's the Young Men's President! With that, work and school, he's very very busy! He doesn't get to play with the baby as much as he'd like, but he's finding little ways. The other day he was reading his textbook to Matthew, haha! He also got a new truck! A '99 F150! He is way excited! We're just loving having Matthew in our family, he is so adorable. We're very happy.

Baby Matthew is here!!

Here's our cute little baby boy! He came on October 12, 2009 at 1:10 after about twenty hours of labor!!! He weighed 8 lb 7 oz and was 19 inches long. Here's a pic I'm sure more will be coming :)

Our Life Lately

I have not blogged for a while! We've had a lot of fun things going on lately. Devon celebrated his 25th birthday. For Father's Day/Devon's birthday I sent him on a scavenger hunt using Brad Paisley song lyrics and at the end he found out his present was tickets to the Brad Paisley concert. I planned a surprise party for him, it was really fun. We played volleyball, ate, played yahtzee, danced and watched fireworks. We have such great friends and family. It was just a great night. We also went on our annual trip with our friends. This year we didn't go to Fish Lake like usual. We went to Devon's cabin. We had lots of fun playing games, eating, swimming, eating, fishing, eating oh and did I mention eating?? :) I'll try and get pics up of all these fun events :) In the baby department I am now closing in on 29 weeks! Crazy how slow and fast it goes at the same time! We bought new carpet for the baby's room, we're just waiting for it to be installed. Then we can get the crib up, decorate, etc. Everything is going great so far with the baby. The doctor says everything is looking good! Yay! Sad, but still fun, Sean left for the mtc yesterday. He is going to do awesome! I'm going to miss him, but I am so excited for him. That about sums up the past little bit of our life in a nutshell. We're doing great, oh! We celebrated our three year anniversary! We went to the Styx concert for our anniversary present and went out for our anniversary. All in all, we're doing great! :)

Nursery!!

Here are some pics of our nursery! Dev built a little shelf on the wall, it's so cute. He's been working hard on it. Now we need carpet, furniture, crib bedding, decor, and baby!!! :)

It's a Boy!!!

We had our ultrasound on Tuesday morning! It's a boy! We're really excited! His name is going to be Matthew Devon Newman. :) It's so fun to actually get to buy stuff now that I know the gender and we're getting the nursury ready to paint, so fun! Four and a half months doesn't seem like a long time to me, I have a lot to do!! :) I love his little foot! It's so cute! (The pics are from my phone so they're not too great sorry, we need to get a camera!!!)

Frustrated

Okay, so I got on my mom's computer and looked at my blog and it doesn't look the same as on my computer! I'm really frustrated, so if you think my blog looks crazy and the pics and text are in weird places, that is not how it was supposed to be :( Hopefully I can figure out how to fix it.

Life lately with the Newmans!

Well, there are so many fun things happening in our life lately! To start off, baby update! I am seventeen weeks today! In sixteen days we find out what we're having! I had a doctor's appointment this past week and everything is looking good. I got to hear the heartbeat and also see the baby on the mini ultrasound. It was so cute.

This weekend Devon went to Washington and Oregon to race the Baja car that he and his team built for their senior project. Here are some pics of the car he built and the other car they took up from last year. I'm so proud of him, he's so smart and talented.

I stayed at my parents most of the time. Friday night I scrapbooked with my aunts. Saturday morning I went to Jazzercise with my mom. After, we went to Blake's soccer game. Wow, watch out, he is amazing! I sure hope he plays in high school because he is great at it. My dad took my mom and I to lunch for Mother's Day. We went to Goodwood! Mmm.....Yummy! My mom and I scrapbooked a little after we got home. That night I went over to Matt's house. He cooked us(Dan, Elise, his date and his roommates) chicken and potatoes in the dutch oven. We ate outside on blankets, so nice to have good enough weather to do that. Today was my first Mother's Day! My gifts from Devon haven't come yet, I picked them out of a catalog and asked him if he wanted to buy them for me. :) My mom gave me a fun little kit for the hospital complete with a nightgown, gum, socks, etc. My grandma gave me a cute bar of soap. I'm so excited to be a mom! I'm also so excited for Dev to get home. He gets home tomorrow!!!
