Big Brother To Be!!!!!!!!!

Aidan will become a big brother at the end of November!!! We just found out on Saturday! God is so faithful! We didn't know if I could get pregnant at all or how long it would take. We are so so excited for this blessing! It was so much fun to announce it using the shirt. It usually to a little while to click. It was so funny! I even surprised Jeff with the shirt and I got it on video! I am trying to post the video but am having lots of problems! If anyone has any suggestions let me know!!

Playing on the Farm

We have had lots of fun playing on the property! Aidan loves to ride, either the tractor or 4-wheeler. He says "ride" all the time! We have been burning all the weeds and having fun!

Glenwood Springs

We spent the night in Glenwood and had a great time. We stayed at a hotel with the best pool ever! We swam and swam and swam! It was great!

Feeding the Ducks

Here is Aidan feeding the ducks for the first time at River Bottom Park in Montrose. There were some mean canadian geese that we had to watch out for! Aidan wasn't scared at all, he was mostly interested in eating the crackers instead of letting the ducks eat them!

New Cousin for Aidan Jeffrey!

Congratulations Hogstad's! We are so excited that Stacey Jo is 8 weeks pregnant, tomorrow. Her due date is September 25, 2009. Last week she went to the Dr and had an ultrasound, they were able to see and even hear the sweet little heartbeat. The baby looks healthy and everything is going well. Stacey is sick and really tired! I get to go to an ultrasound with them and Courtney on March 5, I am very excited!! We are looking forward to a new cousin and niece or nephew.

This is Stacey's third pregnancy in a year. She had two miscarriages. It was so sad and they have been very strong, Stacey has said many times that she has two baby's waiting for her in heaven.

Please pray for Nick, Stacey and their precious little one!

Some Birthday Picts!

I had a very nice birthday! My friend Chera and her wonderful kids came over for breakfast. Mom and Jeff tried to surprise me, but didn't! Aidan and I met Courtney and the kids and Jeff for lunch at the Olive Garden. Then we ordered pizza for dinner! Busy day! Much more than I normally do! :)

I can't believe I am 29, I don't really like it. I think I will deal with 30 much better! I have learned a lot about myself this past year! I have learned to rely on God. I know He is in control even when I can't see it! I have also learned to allow others to help me! I am not superwoman and can't do it alone. Thanks everyone for all your help! :) I learned I am pretty good in emergency's when I need to be. I have also learned that I am not as outgoing as I once was! I would rather stay at home with my boys than do anything else. I used to thrive in a big crowd and now I hate them! One thing about me that I know and am working on is I am a people pleaser and I am trying to get better at that! I just want everyone to be happy all the time! I hate when people get mad at me so I try to make EVERYONE happy and that is too hard!! I want be a God pleaser and not a people pleaser, I want to find my worth in what He thinks! So if I say no lots this year please try to understand! We are still recovering from our year and are going to lay low alot! I am also going to try to be better at speaking God's truths even if it offends someone! He is the light, the truth and the way! Sometimes that is hard to hear, but it needs to be heard! I want to grow in my relationship with Christ, be the best wife and mama I can be, become a healthy eater who exercises and I also want to catch up, and keep up, on my scrapbooking! I want to be better at meal planning and cooking healthy. I have a lot of work ahead of me and I am rambling so I better stop now!

So in my 29th year I will continue to learn about myself and grow as a Godly woman! It is hard work, but I see no end in sight! :)
