Tyler's Elk

I don't have pictures of his actual elk because he forgot to take pictures so I

will post those later. Tyler and Dave Heninger shot the elk together and than my

dad got one too!! This is Tyler's very first elk!! Sorry if the pic is grose but I think it's funny.

Another nasty pic of tyler cutting the meat off.
The finished product. We got lots of meat!

My Growing Belly

3 months, I think! ha Not sure when we took this.

18 weeks! this was right before we found out what we are having.

We are having a boy!!!! yay! I will post some ultrasound pics when I find my CD.

Sorry the picture is not right. I tried rotating it and loading it about

six times but it kept coming out like this.

Anyways, this is at 24 weeks. This is what I look like right now!!!

I have a bump. I can also feel the baby moving all the time so it has been

really fun!

YYYYYUUUUCCCCKKK!!!

You are probably asking yourself "what the heck are those?"
If you guessed cinnamon rolls, your correct. Really really bad cinnamon rolls.
I need lots of practice. Tyler's dad was over and he claimed he liked them so we sent most of them home with him while we made fun of my amazing cooking and threw the rest away.

Random Catch Up Time

For Halloween we carved a pumpkin. It is supposed to be a spider.
I was a little worried about it at first but it turned out really good.

Our New Edition!!! Tyler's Parents bought us a piano for Tyler's
graduation present. Big Big thankyou to them! We have loved having it
and Tyler is has learned a song on it already for christmas called Still Still Still.
I am so proud of him. We are going to play it together in church next sunday, me on the violin. YAY! Pray for us!

Another new edition! Tyler bought a road bike! Tyler has been riding it
to work til it snowed and the roads got icy than I made him drive. Next summer we are going to do the 3 summit challenge again which they have upped to four summits. Tyler signed me up for it. I might not live through it.

Tyler's innovative way of trimming our maple Tree. He rigged up his climbing
rope and harness to the tree and chopped cut the huge limbs. It worked really well.
I think we scared some of the neighbors though. It was entertainining.

BIG NEWS!!!

Yes, That's right! We are going to be parents!

A little scary, I know but exciting!!

We told my mom and dad when we were having my birthday dinner.

I each gave them a present with the onesies in them! Dad at first thought it was underwear.

Their expressions were priceless when they realized what they were and what they said on them! It made dad so excited he couldn't look at the camera stright! ha, he went cross-eyed with excitement!

We did the same thing for Tyler's parents but we left the presents at their house and left (Tyler suffested it, I think he was a little nervous).

Tyler called and said we left the presents for them, a few minutes later I got a call from a Very excited Diana. This will be there first grandkid!!!

It's due March 21, 2011. We will be able to find out what it is on the last week of October!

Our Bathroom!

Since we have been working on the house we have redone Tyler has redone the plumbing,

fresh water lines, And the Bathroom and we are still working on the electrical. I can't do much so I just follow tyler around with a much that looks like a marshmallow trying to eat me. My job is talking to him, handing him tools, cleaning up and a little painting.

Tyler figured out everything himself! This is the last of the plumbing!

Here is our bathroom before, this is the reason why we decided to remodel it becuase around
the toilet there was a leak and it ruined the floor! We pulled this stuff up and the wood was all rotted! It was worse than we though.

The Rest of the bathroom. When we tore around the bathtub we disocovered they did a crappy

caulking job and the sheetrock behind is was also rotting really bad. EWWWW!

This was one of our temporary bathrooms. Always interesting to see how nasty it was.

We lived in Tyler's parents trailor that we parked by are house and got to use the bathroom in it which was a better but we still had to use the outhouse so the tank in the trailor wouldn't overfill. We shower and eat dinner and Tyler's parents house. We owe them a huge thanks!

Tyler working on the tile! We are getting closer!

The Grout job around the tub!

Our new sink and light fixture (we found at a garage sale for $20. yay!)

Drum Roll!!!! THE FINISHED BATHROOM!
I get to sleep and and go the bathroom in my own home!!!
All we have left is trim and electricity! yay!

Cascade Three Summit Challenge

When Tyler started working for his company a co-worker who road biked told volunteered

Tyler to ride in a race that the company was sponsoring. They had 10 people ride for the company. It was a hard ride- 65 miles with 3 summits, one was a 10% grade.
Tyler before the ride!

The beginning of the race.

Tyler Riding up the last summit! Looks a little tired!

The ride wasn't too hard for him though I guess because now he wants to

buy a bike and train for the LOTOJA!!!!
