Grandpa Visits

Rick's dad came out to visit us for the weekend on the tail end of a cross country trip. He spent the weekend with us and explored Southwest Wyoming. We took him to see pieces of the Oregon Trail, and our town. Katie couldn't wait for him to get here, and was jumping for joy when she saw him.
She was so excited to give him the grand tour of the house, and teach him all she knows. Katie just learned to count to 100 and told him promptly how. She also taught him to play Mario Kart, and the ladybug game. She is very good at both, and he seemed to enjoy being "taught." We can't wait for our next visitors, Katie will keep them very busy!

Painting and Ukelale Playing

I went to an beer and wine tasting auction at work last night, and I won two prizes, a night at a hotel, and a ukulele. Katie confiscated the ukulele when she got home this morning (she spent the night with my aunt since I didn't get home until so late.) She happened to be wearing this dress and the flower in her hair and it went to perfectly not to share with all of you.

Rick has also completed painting Katie's room. He still has trim work but the new electricity is in and the fan works. He has been pretty overwhelmed with not only work, but getting the rooms finished in time for Little Ricky to get here. He is in the home stretch now and we are almost ready to decorate.

As you can see, he had help with Katie's room. She couldn't wait to get some paint on the walls and did a pretty decent job with little mess.

She is making her room a princess room complete with a castle wall paper mural for the wall. We'll post it as soon as it's done!

Blowing Bubbles

We are finally, FINALLY, getting some nice weather here in the Rock. Today it got up to around 60 degrees. We have to take advantage of all the nice weather we can get!!!

So we blew bubbles. This has become Katie's new favorite outfit. She puts it on almost daily, high heels and all. What a perfect outfit for blowing bubbles right?

9 Months

The final month has arrived. All the heartburn, sleepless nights, and swollen extremities is coming to an end. We sure can't wait to meet little Ricky! (Which may or may not be his name, but sounds good for now!)
