Updates

Well since the last time I posted we just moved and announced that we were expecting I figured I had better do another and get myself caught up. 

Pregnancy: My morning sickness wasn't all that wonderful, I wasn't near the toilet as often as I was the first time with Rogue but it did feel worse, I think it was more due to the fact I couldn't just lay around and wish I were dead instead I had to entertain a toddler whom loves to play.  Luckily it has now been gone for about a month now and I am starting to feel a little more energetic ( I can actually keep the house clean). Right before Christmas we did find out the sex and I will go into that more in the next post.

Halloween: Last year we were out hunting and didn't celebrate it, this year we were in town but didn't take Rogue out trick or treating. Jeremy and I felt that she was a little young and the last thing we wanted was to take her out and someone in a scary outfit opening up the door to scare the living day lights out of her. so instead she helped mommy hand out candy. She got to hear all the kids say trick or treat and Thank you. by the end of the night she was saying "thank you" all the time and became her new favorite word the lasted a couple weeks. I didn't mind one bit. she dressed up for a little while as Dorthy from the wizard of oz but before I could get any pictures she spilled juice (grape juice actually) all over it. we did go to Klickers pumpkin patch and pick out pumpkins where she slid down their enormous slide once then made daddy follow her as she climbed all over the straw pyramid that held the slide. 

A couple days later we carved our pumpkins and then waited till it was dark and went out to take pictures of our handy work.  Rogue was having a blast running up and down the stairs as we were doing this and one of the coolest pictures makes it look like there is a ghost on the stairs.  we dubbed the picture "ghost Rogue"

Thanksgiving:  We had it at our house this year.  Jeremy's parents were out hunting over this way so they came over the day of Thanksgiving along with my parents, my Aunt Dawn, Cousin Justing and friend of the family Kaleb even one of our friend's Jim showed up for a little while.  I "slaved" away and made turkey, smoked prime rib, and made some of the fixins while a some brought their favorite sides too.  It was fantastic and we all had a blast.  After Thanksgiving Jeremy and my parents stayed for a little bit.  The In-Laws got a new puppy while here, she is an adorable lab/Aussie shepard mix.  This is what she looked like when they got her.  Now she is quite a bit bigger and full of spunk.  But a very smart and loveable puppy.

Christmas:  For Christmas we all loaded up and headed down to Salem.  and by we I mean Jeremy, Rogue and I plus my parents.  We stayed over a Carmen and Gary's house (jeremy's sister)  and had a fabulous time, We ate lots, talked lots and of course had a great Christmas.  Rogue made out like a bandit of course and had a blast with her cousins Calista and Cassidy playing with all their new toys.  It was quite fun watching the girls interact and play together.  The older they are getting the more interactive they are becoming. We also celebrated LaVeta's (my mother in law) 60th birthday.

NewYears:  We turned around after being home from salem for a few days and headed back down there because my father in law Darrell was also turning 60 this weekend and this was when we were really celebrating the parent's birthdays.  we had BBQ ribs, homeade baked beans and chocolate cake as we watched the Oregon duck game as well as the stanford game. It was relaxing and a lot of fun.

Well I think I caught up except for announcing the baby's sex as well as Rogue's 2nd birthday which I will do in the next couple of posts.
