Praise the Lord!! We are pregnant and due May 15, 2009 it is so hard to believe we are pregnant again. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I have a pregnancy blog if you want to look at it here is the URL http://lucasbaby3.blogspot.com. Please keep us in your prayers. I am confident I will see this baby healthy, happy, and normal in May.

Enjoy the updates : )

Neighbor troubles

I really HATE confrontation. Our neighbors have been LOUD since the day we moved in and I am annoyed by it. I can right now as I type hear their music clear as day. I opened my front door, almost put my foot out the door to ask them to please be quiet, when I walked back in my house and closed the door. I am one who enjoys peace and quiet and listening to someone's music doesn't count as peace and quiet.

If anyone has any neat ideas or ways for me to ask them to please be quiet that would be great. It is annoying when my son is trying to sleep and I am trying to rest. I thought about making a bag of cookies or something and attaching a note to the bag asking them to please be quiet.

I really enjoy our house and the location of where we live but I really think that when July comes around and we have to sign our lease we won't and move to the University apartments. Hopefully our name will be next on the waiting list by then and we can move in. The move I am dreading but I like how think the walls were there and that if my neighbor were being too loud I could call the university police and they would take care of it.

Aspen Alley

Yesterday morning we got up bright and early, made a sack lunch and got in the car to make the 2 1/2 hour trip to Aspen Alley. I heard about this spot from Kristen's sister and thought it would be so much fun to go see. Joshua loved walking up and down the road, and being able to eat his lunch on the trunk of the car. The trip there wasn't the best because Joshua was crabby most of the time but it was worth going once we got there. The trip home was much better.


I have no clue why he felt the need to use his thumb to point at me but he did, and it was a cute picture.

Our cutie.


All over Aspen Alley were carvings in the trees. I really wanted to find one that said L heart M or M heart L or L & M in a heart. But no such luck.

Washington park

We spent a lot of time at Washington park last week so I thought I would take some pictures. I know Joshua loves the park and would spend all of his time there if he could so before winter hits I thought I would take him to the park a lot. I just need to make sure we are bundled up. Joshua is now able to climb on all of the equipment with out the help of me. Of course he likes me to follow him around, push him on the swing and catch him when he slides down the slide but I enjoy doing all of those things anyway.

On this day Joshua and I brought a picnic lunch and spread out a blanket to eat it on, it was a good day. I should plan a few more of these.

Territorial Prison

Tuesday 4 lady friends of mine and their children went to the Territorial Prison within our city limits. We had a great time walking through the restored prison and reading about everyone who had served time there. Butch Cassidy served some time there too as well as 12 women inmates. I think I'll go back again and look at other buildings on the grounds, they have a museum and other buildings we can look in.

Here are some pictures of our trip there. I suggest if you are in town you should stop in and see it, it is only $5.

This look out extended from the third floor so the guard could see all the jail cells.

Labor Day

For Labor Day Michael, Joshua, and I picked lunch up from Carl Jr. and followed the Winegars past the Lincoln Monument to a nice picnic area in the woods. It was chilly and windy but we enjoyed our time together. I really can't remember what else we did, it must not have been important or I am too tired to think. : ) Enjoy the pictures.

Joshua looks like an Elk. He had fun with the sticks.


A flower Joshua picked for me. We told him we had to leave it there since we were in a park and you are supposed to only take with you what you brought. He was sad, but let me take a picture so we could leave it.

Blurb

I just wanted to let everyone know of a very cool program. I got the idea from Kristen's sister, it is called booksmart and you can get it from www.blurb.com. Using this program you are able to upload your blogs and print them out so you can have a hard cover book. I just finished coping and pasting my xanga blog to the booksmart so I can delete that blog and have it in a really nice album. Of course I deleted any blog that I didn't want or care to see later in the future. Unfortunately xanga is one that you cannot upload onto the booksmart program. That is why I had to copy and paste.

Blogger is one of the blogs booksmart can automatically upload your blogs to. It doesn't take very long and all your blogs and pictures are on the correct page. The prices are great too. This way we have a detailed photo album of all of our travels and life experiences all in one album. I know I sell scrapbooking things but I really think I will start doing this instead of scrapbooking.

I hope you all enjoy the program I know I have.
