Birthday Parties

 Dean and I had 2 very important birthday parties to go to on April 30th (which also happened to be my parents anniversary SHOUT OUT TO THEM!! I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH) but first, we had Allision Jane Hilsmann who was turning 1 year old. She is Dean's only niece on his side of the family. We love her so much! She is such a happy little girl. We love being around her! The 2nd birthday party we went to was my sister Heather's little boy... Lucas Alan Stott, (and Avary his girl friend.. Heather's best friend Sarah had their babies on the same day a year ago.. so they had a joint birthday in my parents backyard) They went a little over the top.. They had a bounce house.. Did some face painting.. Their theme was Alice in Wonderland.. It turned out really cute! We had a blast at both parties!! We love those little kids!!


Uncle Dean and Allie Girl





Getting ready to eat her 1st birthday cake




She wasn't so sure what to do at first, she was so dainty picking up the sprinkles with 2 fingers, then Uncle Dean shoved her hand in it.. and she got a taste of it... then she knew just what to do!! 





Corben, William, Jay Jay, Beckham

The bounce house! I think Dean had WAY more fun in here than the kids!! I couldn't get him out!

The Start of the Baby Belly...

Just thought I'd post some baby stuff.... :) We got our first pictures of our baby, when we heard the heartbeat.. which was AMAZING!! We were SOOO happy... and then yes... we already got the crib and put it up.. Roxy LOVED it. I put her in it as a joke thinking she'd jump right out but nope.. she laid down and got comfortable.. She didn't want to get out when Dean went to grab her.. She is so funny.. and then I have started my baby belly pics.. because yes... I have already started to get a belly... I might be pushing out a little... ok.. I'm not.. but I'm not sucking in like I usually would in pictures.. so this is me... :) It's fun!

BABY TIME!!

Dean and I are SOOOOOOOOOOO thrilled to announce that we are PREGNANT!!! I thought this day would never come... It has been a long a waited day... So we are THRILLED and couldn't be happier!!! We are hoping to find out the sex the end of next month.. I'm dying to know already! And then the due date is November 27th. Maybe one day I will share my story about trying to get pregnant.. when I feel like typing.. but I am exhausted and am in need of a nap.. :) but, I thought I should finally post the exciting news on our blog.
(P.S- I'm a little embarrassed to post these pictures of myself because 1. it was FIRST thing in the morning when I rolled out of bed and 2. I was bawling my eyes out.. so I look a little silly.. but OH WELL... :))

ADULTS ONLY!!

HAD SOOOO MUCH FUN with all the siblings and my parents tonight! We have NEVER done this before... All the kids went to a sitter so the ADULTS could all go out! We went out to eat at Samauri 21 which was AWESOME. The hibachi grill is so entertaining and it's so tasty. We had a BLAST.. Then we went to Menchies for dessert which was very delicious. We just love being together... We are constantly laughing! I love my family!! I hope we can do this again sometime!
