Baby's Heart Beat

At 22 weeks and 3 days, baby Xavier's heart beats. Turn up your volume and enjoy!

Monkeys

Thanks to Paul's hard work, we pretty much finished the nursery that is a monkey theme. The only item that is missing is a rug. I'm so glad that he was able to be part of it and see the end product. He painted, put up a border, and we assembled the furniture that was purchased by our wonderful family. Much thanks to Brenda for the changing table/dresser and to my dad and Angela for the glider chair and ottoman. We love you guys!

The light is dim so the green looks different. But the top pic is the right color.
My lens was dusty. Sorry for the spots but we were in a hurry.

CPT Lauritzen

Congrats to Paul on his promotion. He is now Captain Lauritzen. I am so proud of him. He will be an awesome commander. We love you Paul. Hurry up and come home soon!

More good news. I am 18 weeks pregnant and we are having a BOY! Sorry to my side of the family. Maybe the next one will be girl!

Sweet Tooth

We went into Walgreens for this...

And came out with this...
Guess who has the sweet tooth?! Nope, it's not the pregnant one!

Our Latest Project

Since the baby is on the way, we decided the doggies need to spend more time outside. So a family friend built a covering in the backyard. We just love it. Soon we can go outside and enjoy our backyard.

It's Been Awhile!

Hi all. I know it has been two months since I have posted anything on our blog. Paul and I have been super busy with work and getting ready for his deployment. The recruiting season will start up in September. I do have some exciting news (well for us anyway). We finally got new furniture. We are so happy with the way our little house is coming along. After owning our house for 3 years, we decided it was time to make it more of "our" style. Not sure what to do with the black recliner but it will stay in its place for now. Thanks dad for helping us load it in the truck and thanks Angela for helping us find a rug. Hope everyone is doing well.

Relay for Life

This past weekend, I went to Chama to participate in Relay for Life. My stepbrother, grandma, uncle, and a family friend all survived some sort of cancer. I also had an aunt who passed away due to cancer. Our family walked in honor of or in memory of someone that has been affected by cancer. We had a good time and we stayed walking all night! Paul couldn't go. He had to work :(!
