Vacation in Tennessee

This year we went on vacation to the Great Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. We rented a large cabin near Dollywood, and had 17 people share it for a week! We had a great time. We went to Dollywood a few days. J and the kids loved the roller coasters, I mostly watched the two little girls, Bella and Grace, with Aunt Cindy and Uncle Glenn and my parents, since I couldn't ride very much. I did get to go on the swings with Becky and ride the flying elephants with Grace in kiddie land. We toured some museums at the park and went to listen to a few shows. The water park was really nice even though it rained part of the day. I enjoyed the wave pool with Uncle Glenn, and I was able to go on the water roller coaster with my mom and J. The lazy river was relaxing. At the cabin we enjoyed going to the pool, and we had a perfect view of the fireworks from Dollywood every night.

Crib

Just to clarify, Jason was posting on Facebook last night, and some people jumped to the conclusion that white cribs are only for girls, and he just went along with it. I asked him to add a new comment so no one would go crazy. I painted the crib white because my room is cream and brown, and the crib was black. I am also putting it in front of the dark brown curtains, and it would have disappeared. The color has nothing at all to do with the sex of the baby. Please dont run out and buy girl clothes because of Facebook!

3 Months

Here is a picture of me at 3 months pregnant. I do have a belly, but it isn't showing very much. Here is an updated ultrasound picture of the baby too-it looks much more like a baby now!

7 year Anniversary

It is hard to believe it has been 7 years already. I am so thankful for the marriage we have. This year it was copper and wool. I got J a baseball hat and I engraved the Hoover family shield into a piece of copper and framed it. J got me a copper hummingbird feeder that suction-cups onto the window, and a knit winter hat.

Pregnant!

Baby is due December 5th. Here is the ultrasound at 9 weeks. The heartbeat was 164bpm. Can't wait to meet baby!

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter visiting with family and friends in Hollidaysburg. We opened our Easter baskets, J got army men and I got tulips, and we both got some Easter candy. We dyed eggs with Kayden, Samantha, and Travis, as well as my cousin Hannah, and had an Easter egg hunt around the yard. The kids got a lot of clothes and toys from the Easter bunny.

Pittsburgh Home Show

My parents came up to visit a few weeks ago and we went to the home show in Pittsburgh. It was a lot of fun. We didn't buy much, but my parents got me this neat peanut holder to feed the squirrels and birds. I thought the peanuts might last a little longer if they were harder to get. They haven't had much trouble cleaning it out in a day though.
