Quick update...

I went to my Dr's Appointment today. I found out I lost another pound. I was super surprised because of the recent holiday... I enjoyed being able to cheat a little and eat some really yummy food. I had the Dr's permission, of coarse :) Hailey is progressing very well. They started NST's on both of us. It's a test to monitor her heartbeat, stress level, and the possiblity of me having contractions, etc. They do that test at the end of a pregnancy if you have the Gestational Diabetes. During the test, it showed I've been having regular contractions. They're pretty consistant.. about 5min apart and somewhat strong. I'm not dialating yet. I'm sure she'll take her time time getting here :) I'll keep posting updates on our progress as I have them to update.

Our Weekend...

Aaron's grandparents:
"Bonnie and Jim Hurst" came to visit for the weekend...

We also had the pleasure of visiting with "Connie,"
Aaron's Mom, and his older brother, "Art."
It was a short, but nice visit.

We are all so sad to see them all leave us :(

We had dinner together at Amy & Andrew's house.
This is Aaron showing Grandpa his awesome BBQ skills...
Tri tip and Ribs on the BBQ. Grandpa taught him well!
Yummy! Dinner was great:
Ribs, Tri tip, salad, coleslaw, potato salad, and garlic bread.
Aaron taught Austin how to make garlic bread.
Austin got to cut and butter the bread with a little help.
He'll make a great chef someday :)
The food was sooo good!

Art and Andrew kept busy playing videogames
while Aaron and Grandpa were outside
BBQing our awesome dinner.

Nana (Connie) made Ornaments for the kids to color.
They look nice! The kids did a great job.

We celebrated Art's birthday.
He's turning "37" in just a few days.
He was a good sport... looks great in a birthday hat!
The kids really had a good time.

Art's birthday cake:
Yellow cake, Chocolate cream frosting,
Toffee sprinkles, and a little extra something
just for Him on each side of the cake :)

What a blessing to have spent time with family!
