Check out Taylor's new T-shirt...

Yup...that's right. Taylor is going to be a big sister in March. We're really excited to have a new addition to our family.  Our due date is March 11 and everything is going great. Feeling pretty good. A little nauseous and a lot tired but I'm so thankful that I haven't been sick.

Here are a couple of pics from our first ultrasound...

 I got free tickets to the Stone Temple Pilots concert through work so we used that as an excuse for a date night. Definitely not my favorite band but I knew a few of the songs and it was fun to get out for an evening with the hubs.

Reptile Gardens

In July, we decided to play tourist and take Taylor to Reptile Gardens. John took me once when we first started dating (11 or 12 years ago) but other than that we hadn't been there since we were kids. We had a great time. I wasn't too excited about all the snakes but it was a fun day.

John's Birthday Camping Trip

For John's birthday we decided to get a bunch of friends together and go camping. We went to Sheridan lake and there were 17 of us (including kids). The camp hosts there harassed us constantly which made it very annoying but we still had a great time and the weather was perfect. It was a great weekend with great friends!

This is what we woke up to

4th of July

The 4th of July weekend was spent with lots of family this year. John's brother Todd and his family and sister Tracy were here for the weekend. It was so nice to spend some time with them.

We went to the Belle Fourche carnival with them. The kids had a blast! It was really hot out so it wasn't as much fun for the adults but we survived :)

This is how the girls survived the carnival :)

The next morning we took Taylor to the Belle Fourche parade. It was a typical small town parade with lots of horses and trucks but Taylor had a great time and got lots of candy.




John's aunt Barbie and uncle Greg were also in town having a family reunion so we were also able to go spend some time with them and all of their family. We always have a great time with them. We opted to skip the fireworks this year. We were all wiped out from a busy weekend and since it was on a school night we decided to not try keeping Taylor out so late. Boring I know, but it was nice to just hang out with family and relax!
