Pictures to update...

:) Jonnie's double tomato, double patty hamburger. He quite enjoyed it!

My "Big Momma" tummy at 30 weeks... 34" around. Elliot is still squirming and kicking away!

I actually got this basket out for the kitties toys, but Echo decided it was his new bed. Silly thing!

More camera fun with Dudley being her cute little self

The snuggle monsters! Don't know what they would do without each other.

Random Scenery...

We just learned a few new things on our camera!!! We have been taking some actually very pretty scenery pictures, so I just thought that we would share them... enjoy!

Fishing July 09

Jonnie took me out on his parents little boat one evening to go fishing on Lake Eugenia. We had a great time together driving around on the lake. We brought a picnic to enjoy as well. We fished for quite a while, with many bites, but then I got the lucky first catch. It was quite a big fish, biggest I've ever caught anyhow. Jonnie says it was between 3.5 to 4 lbs large mouth bass. I was quite excited that I had caught it, but I definately wasn't gonna take that beast off the hook. I held it for a picture though then let the poor fella go.

Through out the evening Jonnie caught seven smallish fish, so in the end we both caught the same amount of weight. We got some really nice scenery too while the sun was going down.

JULY 1ST---HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

Camping June 2009

Last weekend, Jonnie and I decided that we would go camping, finally! Friday morning before we went on our grand trip, however, I had to get a glucose test done. We went in to the doctor's and they gave me the nasty glucose drink. I downed it fine, but felt really sick to my stomach afterwards. We waited there for an hour then I got my blood taken, and we were off then for a weekend of fun and adventure together. We had started off by booking a place the day before between Walkerton and Hanover, but when we drove through the camp, it looked quite trashy, so we took off up towards Mac Gregor Point. It was such a beautiful day to be out driving. Thankfully, there were plenty of spots to choose from when we got there. We went to the site Jonnie had picked, and it was a perfect little site for us. We set up, then headed down to the beach for a walk. It was quite a rocky beach, so we thought that we would head down to the sandy beach the next day to swim. That night we had our potatoes and chicken, then headed off to the showers, and went to bed. We were probly the first on camp to be in bed that night!! We had brought glow sticks though and had some fun with them.

Saturday, when we got up, we made pancakes over the fire, then headed off to the beach. The place was full, and the water looked quite disgusting, so we just sat on the beach for a little while, looking off into the distance with the binoculars. It was a gorgeous day out! We then decided to go for a little drive in Port Elgin to see what we could see. It's got quite a few stores, but as always, we were in no mode for shopping. So we headed over to Timmy's to get an iced coffee. Yummy!!! Before we went back to the park, we decided to stop at Walmart to pick up a sudoku book, but got a wonderful surprise of seeing electronic 2 million games sudoku. We both fell in love with it immediately and had to buy it. We then drove back to the beach, but it was even more full, so we jsut went back to our rocky beach, where no one else seemed to fancy being. Jonnie tried to fish, but the lake was too full of algae that kept getting stuck on the line. So instead he gathered up rocks and made an Inoonwak, while I journaled and took pictures. After he had finished his beautiful creation, we went back to our campsite and started supper. Then we sat in the hammock and just relaxed. Shmores time then came! Jonnie made me a special stick, since the other sticks were too short, and I couldn't bend over with this big belly of mine. We then cleaned up the stuff, since we heard that Sunday morning was to bring some rain our way. Then it was off to the shower for us, and then some sudoku before we went to sleep.

Sunday morning did, of course, bring rain, but thankfully all we had to do was fold up the sleeping bags and airbed, then take down the tent. All went well, and we were on the road back home by 9AM. We made it safely home to our kitties and to do laundry.

Monday, Jonnie was off work, so he was able to take Carr and I to our 9AM appointment with the midwives in OwenSound. He got to see what it was like there, meet our primary midwife, Jane, and got to finally hear Elliot's heartbeat. We will hopefully be taking our prebirth classes in August, so we are both looking forward to that.

So we had a fabulous weekend together, and are hoping to go to caves within the next couple of weekends before I can't move, as Jonnie says...:)

June 2009...so far

Elliot's crib with the stuff we have for him so far

This is coming into the kitchen from the livingroom. The dinningroom at the far end, and then Elliot's room to the left and then the bathroom is the door to the left and at the back.

Jonnie's team practicing before the big game!




:) Busting out some moves

The Pink Fuzzy Bunnies come in 2nd place!!!!

June 4th,
We finally got to move into our new apartment!!! We painted the livingroom and the bedroom, and are planning on painting Elliot's room and the bathroom within the next month or so. But I put a couple pics up of the place just so you could see where we are now. We love this place! It is cozy and very more homey-like to us. We are still lacking in getting Elliot's room turned into a nursery and a few odds and ends like a dresser.
June 6th,
Jonnie got an opportunity to play on a soccer team with some of his friends. We were at teh feild from 9AM to 5PM. His team played very well. Last summer they got their names on the cup and a gold medal. This year, sadly, they lost the final game by 4-3, but still got silver medals!!! Their team name was The Fuzzy Pink Bunnies since their team captain accidently tiedied their shirts pink. They all had a great day and the sun was shinning the whole time.
June 16th,
I started my third trimester today!!!! It has gone by so fast, it's crazy! I have been feeling great. I have a very sore siatic nerve in my left leg, but I've had that since Week 16. Otherwise, things are going fine, I just have to make sure I eat good. Today Mom took me to emerge to get the antibodies shot, because I am RH- and Jonnie is Rh+. It didn't go badly at all and the nurse was very kind. I am 33 inches on my belly now, and have gained 14 pounds so far.
June 20th,
A couple of days ago, Jonnie and I finally got most of our stuff unpacked and put somewhere. We have plenty of closets to store stuff, which is really nice! We are still kind of using Elliot's room as a storage for right now, but that will change very soon. Anyhow, we invited the family over for a fun evening of food and games, so they could see our new place. I forgot to take a picture of everyone here, silly me, I ment to though. We had plenty of good snacks and drinks, and had a great time together playing games, talking and laughing. It was fun to finally have everyone over at our place!

Married nine months...

Wow! Time has definately flown by! We are already almost married nine months. It's crazy to think about, but it's true...
We were just asked the other day by a dear friend how our first year together in marriage has been for us. Has it been easier or harder then we expected. My answer was that I wouldn't have changed it for anything! We have had our days, especially with adjusting to living together and setting up family rules and such, and then the extra commotion with pregnancy and getting ready to take care of a little one. Every day though we fall more and more in love with each other. I live with my best friend, we do things together, go places together. I serve the love of my life, cooking for him, cleaning up the house, feeding our kitty cats. I learn new things about him each day, I strive to please him, and look good for him. It is an amazing experience to be married, and I wouldn't change the man God brought to me for anyone else.
Neither of us are very romantic people. And thankfully we have very many things in common, that has made it slightly easier to adjust to living with each other. Both of us like to fish, play/watch soccer, enjoy family, love to travel and explore things, like war and action movies, like things to be in order and clean... Quite a few main things that are important to both of us that are similar. At first we did some things a little different, just from how we grew up, but in the end we both compromised and do things our own new way now.
I love this man that asked me to marry him, and the only thing that could seperate us is God Himself who brought us together in the first place.
