Pregnancy Progress - 11/23/06

Here I am again showing my belly. I am 24 weeks and one day.

Thanksgiving with Gavin

Gavin worked very hard on his "Native American" outfit in his 1st grade class. He was extremely proud of his hard work and wore it for Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanksgiving Decorations

I put myself in charge of Thanksgiving decorations because it is something that makes me feel like it is a special day. This was the end result. :) I was pleased and I think even the Hickman boys liked the decor. I also made apple turkeys with those who were interested. It was a good Thanksgiving.

Hickman Thanksgiving

Here are almost all of the Hickman grandkids. Gavin is in the back then Taylor and China are holding Alyson.

The Long Drive...

The Haltermans came to visit me at the beginning of October. Unfortunately I neglected to take pictures because I was so busy having so much fun!! Kendra helped me paint and plan and shop. We went to the park and Kira fed the squirrels right out of her hand, that is if Trenton wasn't chasing them for a hug. We went to the zoo and fed the Giraffes. It even snowed while they were here so my shorts wearing, Phoenix dwelling niece and nephew got a taste of the cold and had a blast building a snowman. The only catch was that in order to get them here I had to fly out and drive back with Kendra, Kira and Trenton. We did go to ikea in Arizona and that was lots of fun! The kids were great on the drive considering it took us (if I remember right) 16hrs with the stops for food and other necessities (i.e. letting Trenton run around in the Burger King play place). What a blast we had. :) Thanks for visiting me Haltermans!

Pregnancy Progress - 10/5/06

Here I am at the beginning of October. I was just heading to a concert in my concert black dress. I am 17 weeks and 1 day. Just so you know my belly isn't really lumpy like that but I was wearing nylons. Yuck! No thank you! I got some good advice from Marenda to get some knee highs. I have got to remember to do that next time I am out. :) At least no one can deny that I have a belly!
