Weekend with CWU friends

The weekend of the baby shower we all stayed at Julie and Chris' house on Saturday night. Since there are so many of us now with all the kids, Shane and I brought my parents motor home for the boys to sleep in. I don't know what happened but I didn't take a single picture at my shower or of our weekend together so thanks Jules for letting me steal all your pictures.

Me at 36 weeks, thanks Julie for making me take this picture :)

Eating more food after the shower!

The boys and their poker games.

The Mom's with each of their babies, soon to be me to join them with the only girl in the last 5 months and only 2 total girls between the 6 families and 11 kids.

Shower for Baby Stacy

Finally some pictures of the baby shower. Thanks Julie and Kassi for hosting a baby shower for our girl! We are so spoiled and our little girl has everything she could possibly need. Thanks to all my college roomies and bestest friends who drove from so far for the weekend, it was so nice to see everyone.

Baby's Room

Shane and I spent the day after Christmas putting the baby girl's room together...or at least her 1st room (until we get moved into our house). Actually it wasn't just us that set up the crib. It is a used crib from the neighbor and we didn't have the instructions so we struck out setting it up after about 2 hours. Roger and Erin (Shane's sister and brother in-law) came down in the afternoon and finished. Roger looked at the crib for about 10 minutes and a suggestion from Erin and the crib was set up. I don't think Shane and I would have ever figured it out. Thanks Erin and Roger!

We are using the crib and changing table that is going to stay at my parents house. We have a brand new crib, changing table, and dresser that was bought by Grandpa and Grandma Stacy that will get set up in our new house. We didn't get bedding to match the yellow walls in the room but the bedding we got actually looks ok with the yellow. It makes it so much more real and exciting now that we have her room all set up. The countdown has begun...only 8 more weeks (at the most).

December pictures of house...

It has been kind of slow going the last couple weeks because of the wind, rain, snow, and freezing temperatures.

Update from Courtney

Maybe if your lucky Shane will post something while we have some time off from work because people seem to enjoy what he has to say about what is happening with us. We are going to be putting the interim baby room together at my parents house this weekend since they are leaving for Mexico for 12 days we have the house to ourselves (along with their 4 animals, including the chihuahua Isabella that has to sleep with us when they are gone, under the covers and all!).
Basketball season has been going for Shane for about a month now. They have had 4 games and are 3-1, with the loss being to Bellevue Chritian in a 1 point game that came down to the end. Hopefully they will get to meet up again at districts! I have another week left of middle school basketball when we start school again on the 4th. We were both really ready for our Christmas break and the kids at school might have been even more!


31 weeks pregnant...I am only posting this for those of you that beg for these pics...Carolyn!




The dog we get to take care of every time my parents leave town in trade for all the free child care over the next years...I think it is pretty fair though Shane may think differently!

This morning we had our 1st Christmas celebration with my family since my parents are leaving tomorrow for their trip. Tomorrow Shane and I will spend the morning just the 2 and 1/2 of us and then head up north to be with his family for the rest of the day. I think Shane enjoyed the presents for the baby this morning from my parents then what we got from them. She already has apparel from 1/2 of the Pac 10 schools thanks to my parents.

More house pictures

The framing is still taking place. We had really high winds all weeks so there wasn't too much that got done on the house this week. Hopefully the weather gets a little better this week so we can get the roof on and windows in to close the house up before more bad weather comes.

The walls are up

The trusses should be going on this week.
