My Beautiful Wife-Happy Birthday!

July 23, 1979 my beautiful wife Christina was born. This year she's turning 29 so the count down to officially on to the big over the hill 30 party :) I just wanted to be the first to wish Christina a very happy birthday and tell her I love her with all of my heart and am the luckiest man in the world to call her my wife. She is a wonderful mother to Natalie and I can not wait to welcome Alexis into the world in just a few weeks! Here are just a few pictures from the last year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTINA!!!

My Baby Belly

I just seem to get bigger & bigger! This time I seem to have only gotten bigger in my belly (& a little in my face). I was able to wear closed toe shoes to the baby shower yesterday & with Natalie I couldn't wear any other shoes except my flip flops from Dec. to March! Here are some pictures of my growing belly & a picture of Sarah & Me (Sarah is due Sept. 9th)....

I Actually Used My Scrapbook Stuff....

I used to be into scrapbooking, but ever since Natalie was born & I moved from Queen Creek I have not really done much scrapbooking. The last thing I made was the invites to Natalie's 2nd birthday party (lets remember she is over 3 now). Yesterday was my friend Sarah's baby shower & I needed a card. Instead of buying a card...I actually used my scrapbook stuff to make one!! On top of that I was proud of myself that I used what I had here at home & I didn't buy anything new! I was really happy with way it turned out & I think I did pretty good for not making anything for the last year & a half.

Phoenix Children's Museum

Last month Phoenix finally got their own Children's Museum. We had been wanting to take Natalie & we finally did this past week. I must say I was surprised at how much we all really enjoyed it. Sometimes those types of places do not have much for her age group or she gets bored, but we spent over 2 hours there and she would have stayed longer if I didn't need to go home. The museum is located in Downtown Phoenix and some of the exhibits are not done yet (they think everything will be done by mid Sept), but it is worth the trip.

New Office..

Here is what Natalie's old room looked like so this is the Before of Bryan's new office...







After....







We definitely think that Natalie's old room makes for a much better office. We had a lot of wasted space in the old office, but the furniture fits perfect in this room. Even though it was a lot of work switching the rooms, it was worth it!

New Bedroom Pics...

So I have finally gotten around to taking pictures of the new rooms.

This is the Before of the old office now the girls' new room...





After......







I am really happy with the way the colors turned out & I think Bryan and his Dad did an AWESOME job on the chair rail (especially since this was the 1st time they have ever done one)!
