overdue...

Just wanted to give you all a quick update...I am now overdue if you go by my ultrasound due date, although if we go by my original due date of august 1st I guess he has one more day before he can truly be considered late. :)

We went to the mall for a walk today and a sales person was trying to get us to come over and he asked when my due date was, it was pretty funny to see his expression when I told him yesterday. hehe I was hoping more people would ask, just so I could see their reaction. It's funny to me how many people seem to think that once you get this far along you should just sit at home...I want to be moving and trying to get to him out!! :)

Anyways hope to be able to post soon with pictures of a baby boy! I cannot wait to let you all know his name!! :)

pictures of our place

At the apartment I discovered that I loved being able to have flowers of my own and so we ended up with a collection of pots on our patio. Sadly though I am not that great at watering and so most of my plants ended up dying there.  When we moved here I came up with all these great plans for making my house look so cute on the outside...but in reality haven't done that great of a job accomplishing it. :)
The first things I planted (some bulbs...can't remember what) I accidently planted them sideways or upside down...something like that...OOPS!! And this flower you see below...it is one of the few living flowers planted in front of my house. :) I kept forgetting to water!!
Here is the other flower in the front that has survived my gardening skills
at least so far!

And I was super excited to see that the hydrangea out front was begginning to do something!! The one in the back is still just a leafy gross bush. :)
We have a couple rose bushes a very tiny little start in the front that just put out a tiny little flower and then a larger one in the back which I took this picture from. Then one more in the very back against the fence. They are pretty but this one by the back of the house really smells like an old lady rose. (No offense to any lovers of that rose smell!! )
Then we have our nice apple tree which has cute green apples, I tried one off the ground last night and it was crunchy and really yummy!!
And then we have our apricot tree which doesn't seem to have any fruit on it, but it has some super cute red tipped leaves, that's for sure!!!
And then our weird apple. Hmm, interesting!
And then we have our tiny cherry tree which has given us like 20 cherries!  The big one didn't make it on here because it doesn't have any fruit on it (well it does have one or two but they aren't ripe...and when they get ripe they disappear...weird, eh?!) Sorry the pciture is so poor but it was getting dark and I couldn't get a decent one.
And here are some pictures of my cherrys YUM!! Court didn't want any so I put them in the fridge and ate them all myself...so GOOD!!
And here is one of the two that got destroyed. :) I just thought you might like to see it...hehe
Well, hope you enjoyed the mini tour of the outside of my house! Once little man makes his appearance I promise pictures of actual people...one in particular! :)

more....WOW!!

:) I feel like I am on a roll or something so I shall leave you with a few more pictures before I head downstairs to try and cool off. :)

 So here are some random pictures of May!!! :) 
 This is what I looked like in May of this year...and no that is not my belly button sticking out. Although it has changed and become weird it doesn't stick out. It is pretty flat though, now!



This is our fireplace (after a quick paint job by awesome mom Barndt) it's very cute, I must say!! hehe
This is the front of our house although the white plants you see in pots are now just green stalks due to windstorms and bad watering on my part...oops! And the rhody is now just a green thing...I love them when they bloom but when they're done...let's just say...UNATTRACTIVE!!

This is the only redeeming quality of the gnarly crab apple out front...the blooms come spring. :)


And then this is paint samples on our bedroom wall. We ended up going with the middle one...something teal. :) It's really cute!!

So, anyways hope you like my random pictures...I'll try to get on again and throw some more up! I just took some tonight around the outside of the house...and I shall try to throw them on here tomorrow!! :)
Night my friends!

Pictures...

So I just realized that the a long time ago I teased you guys with this post...and then never gave you the pictures of the actual people! So the people whose pictures I took that day were Laura and Brian Barr.. although only one of them was a Barr at the time...because those were my sisters engagement pictures!!

So here are a couple pictures that I took of them back in December!!
