Bathroom Update

Well…we’re still not done with the bathroom. After busting our bums to get the first part done, we lost motivation until recently. Actually our motivation is NOT back, we are just being forced to get it done because family is coming to stay with us at the end of April. Good job, Holly. GEEZ. 🙂

The floor has been installed and Tommy is now working on the wall tile. He’s not very happy about it. Infact yesterday he was so pissed that it was giving him such fits, he threw a piece of tile through the new bathroom window and broke it. No, I’m just kidding…that didn’t happen. BUT he does absolutely hate this wall tile. I’ve been hearing bad language coming from the bathroom ever since he started yesterday morning. Some of the tile peices are huge and hard to cut…add to that the fact that the walls aren’t square and you’ve got a debacle on your hands…THEN add to that some horrible, cold, rainy weather and you’ve got a really grouchy man who is swearing at the shower walls.  A grouchy man with a cold…who got it from his son…who is sliming up all the furniture in the house with his snot. GOOD times.

What the heck!? Honey...I don't think hot pink was in our color scheme...

SECOND Best Birthday Present EVER!!!

Ok…for those of you who know the back story to this, let’s just say that Tommy DELIVERED!!! Hahaha! Got a knock at the door this morning and lo and behold, fed-exed and overnighted were some SHARI’S BERRIES on my doorstep!! Yahoo!!

Happy Birthday to me! I’ll enjoy an amazingly delicious sweet strawberry for you all. 🙂

Best Strawberries EVER
Look at the SIZE of these things!!
Oooooh, Delicious!
Touch my strawberries...and DIE
Well...ofcourse my sweetie can have one. 🙂
You're the best Tommy!! Love you!

Best Birthday Present EVER!!

Hey everyone! Well, there are some of you out there who’ve been kept in the dark so I guess we better let you in on our little secret …

Our second little boy is on the way and it looks like he’ll be arriving earlier than expected!! Our first due date was September 2nd but based on the baby’s sizing, they’ve changed it to August 18th. So on Thursday, I’ll be 20 weeks and 5 days. The doctor said the baby looks very healthy and that’s the best news of all – I’ll be honest, I was hoping it might be a girl (and I know you were too, B) but I guess God intended for me to have boys instead. 🙂 But then again, that doesn’t mean that we have to quit at 2 right? (Tommy is yelling in the background “We’re not having 3!!!” But we’ll see, won’t we?)

Yes, the tech wrote that! Hahahah

Hueco Season Wrap up

Well the last trip of the spring season was yesterday and we won’t be getting back to Hueco again until the Fall. Found a really fun project a couple weeks ago that has us anxious to get back out there at the end of the year. Had some great trips this season with our climbing crew – gotta have a good support group to climb strong and we definately have that with our buddies. Thanks guys! Looking forward to training hard (after the summer) and sending some projects soon.

My little climber

Henry got a hold of the brochure that Grandpa gave us with the red wagon he bought for Christmas – inside are some really cool wagons/tricycles/etc. I found the next thing I’m going to get him…a little red wheelbarrow! Perfect for helping us outside. 🙂 I heard him grunting in the bathroom this morning and peeked a look in to find him practicing his dead hangs on the sink!! That’s my boy!
