Arbon Times

Nick and I have kept a secret... but now its time to tell the world. We are expecting a little bundle of Joy in the form of a baby boy. We are just so excited, and can't wait until he comes. I am due September 8th and am currently 20 weeks along. My last appointment was with a utrasound tech, Nick and I got to see our baby rolling and waiving he would not sit still it was so cute. He is 6.5 inches long and weighs 9 oz so far. Our boys profile and left arm and belly. Proof that he is infact a boy :) his gorgeous spine

New York here we come... New years in New York what a dream come true we stayed with some great friends and they showed us the town. We walked everywhere from China Town to the Brooklyn Bridge to Times Square it was so packed and there were so many drunk people it was hilarious. We had the best Chinese food in China Town (Lemon Chicken was to die for). Later we spent the night in Queens. It was definitely a night to remember. The tolls were outrageous! We paid over 60 bucks from Baltimore to New York! $8 dollar tolls nuts! WE MADE IT!! All the bright lights! View from Brooklyn Bridge it was so cold up there! Good ole Mickey D's I love this picture just by looking at this picture you know your in Times Square so fun. (or Vegas lol ) We took the Staten Island Ferry to the Staten Island and on the way we saw the Statue of Liberty is was very surreal! The Statue of Liberty Nick and I at the top of Brooklyn Bridge Grand Central Station it was huge and very impressive with all th...

Happy Halloween!!!! Buahaaaaa! What a fun holiday! I don't know if I mentioned that Nick and I are in serving in the Primary and this year the Jones Falls Ward Primary was in charge of the Trunk or Treat. We had different stations that the kids could go to all of the church Nick and I had the room dedicated to Musical Monsters. It was a blast. Here we are dressed up a Pirates "Ahoy matee" Nick Explaining the rules to Musical Monsters! LOL a double Todd Heap (Baltimore Ravens Tight End) in the black I didn't want to seem like I was a creepy stocker so I snapped the picture when his back was turned lol creepy right. Haha I think his wife saw me though. The Cutest Couple at the Party! Kristen was 7 months pregnant and she dressed up as a Bun in the Oven and her hubby Aaron was the Bun Maker lol adorable! They now have a beautiful baby boy. Zombie! The cutest Ghost! The party was hopping in the street! All the trunks were decorated like this or better it was aweso...

This Christmas we jetted off to Blackfoot to surprise the Family! We had Shawn Nicks brother pick us up at 11pm on the Christmas Eve and we headed to black foot with me passed out across the back seat with the boys driving the next 3 and 1/2 . I did feel bad that I fell asleep but I apparently not that much. :) We had a great time with everyone we really needed the company of family for the Holidays and we were glad we got it. Nick can't wait to get go off this plane we were really crammed in there seeing that it was 11pm Christmas Eve night. Keira and Maddox playing dress up with all of Keira's new toys she got Christmas morning. They would not stop giggling it was so cute to watch I love these two. Beautiful Shannon and Eugene digging into Christmas Goodies! Me holding Baby Jaden only a couple of weeks old he is so precious! Shawn checking out a new book he just unwrapped and Lovely Becky and Mike waiting patiently for their turns. lol

Nick and I thought that since his parents were down we would go for a drive sot hey could see the country side and all the fall colors. We were so fortunate to find this area its known as the Washington State Park. George Washington that is. It is very close the Crystal Grottoes which I already posted below, both are located about an hour and a half from Baltimore which is considered the country. We saw some of the cutest small towns I had ever seen. The whole trip was like we very in a movie (Has any one seen practical magic? The town they lived in? It was identical I swear) we had so much fun the whole day was so peaceful and calm. This is the entrance to the park, we had to drive for about five minutes to get the the parking lot so we could get out and walk to the monument in the center of the Park. Isn't this idealic? Erected in Memory of George Wachington, this was the Monument we were hiking to. I didnt get a picture of it but just imagine a huge circular fireplace with st...

We all got to go a NHL game just this past week it was so much fun. The game was so exciting we got to see several fights the game went into an extented period and I lost my voice what a night we all had a blast. D.C played Atlanta and whopped em 4-3. opening the game just before the announcer introduced the players The energy was so crazy and intense at the game you couldn't help screaming and jumping around with everyone. After the 1st period I made Nick take a picture, this was the only one I got with him smiling :D our good friend Ovechkin in the penalty box... Again WE WON YEEEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol Nick was soo excited and so was everyone else! I think we all had a great time!

The Crystal Grottoes in Boonesboro Maryland. We nearly missed our stop this little shop was litterally in the middle of nowhere and just off the side of the road. Rachelle (Nicks Mama) and I both thought that it looked very creepy but it turned out to be one of the coolest things we got to do while Nicks parents were up visiting. This is the outside store and entrance to the caves. The Crystal Grottoes is a beautiful underground cave system the Largest in Maryland, we got to see some pretty cool stuff most of which I cant remember the names to~ This is our 4 man tour Jeff ,Rachelle, Me and Nick it was soo cold down there~ Our Tour Guide he was pretty cool a little strange just very nice :) This was one of the big caverns and a picture of the largest drapery folds in the whole system. "The Thinker" "Stone water falls" This was a really cool part of the tour I just love this picture don't ask me what is in it though!
