12 weeks!

Current cravings:  2% milk morning, day, night, and middle of the night!  and lemonade... with a side of lemons!  I have the nose of a blood hound which is quite annoying to most people (especially me) and Michael is pretty much the most patient husband for putting up with my amazing mood swings!  watch out!  hehe.
We heard a heartbeat Friday!  It took awhile to find but that little stinker was hiding behind my aorta.  Michael was so proud!  He still thinks it's twins.  We both think no matter what it's a girl (even though we aren't finding out!)  We of course would be so happy with boy or girl!  We are just thrilled to be parents so it doesn't even matter!  Healthy baby is all we are praying for :)

Here are our first official maternity pictures.  Bye Bye flat tummy!  :)

B is for B A B Y !!!

On May 19, 2011 we found out we are pregnant!  We couldn't be more happy and excited.  We feel so very blessed for this true miracle from God.  Today is also Grandma Edith's birthday and Ryan's.  So it is a very very special day to us and now more than ever.

The new place!

We are here!  We love it!  It's perfect for us until we can find our first home to buy.  Paxton is adjusting very well (we were a little concerned in the beginning) but he has fell in love with the stairs, the neighbor animals and the bugs!!!!!!  :)  Come visit us anytime!!!  -Michael and Amanda

Goodbye 409 Eisenhower Drive!

Well- we're leaving our first home as a married couple.  Kinda bittersweet <3  Moving out to the country where life is hopefully simpler and we can save to buy a house!

Goodbye house!  On to make a new "home"  :)

 

Just saying "hi"

and the lobster spinach salad he snuck in tonight!  sneaky boy!

Chiefs made it to the playoffs! That's as far as that went...

Michael, Amanda, Tyler and Annie traveled to Arrowhead Stadium Sunday for the very exciting Chiefs Playoff game v.s. the Baltimore Ravens.  We were greeted with snow the night before and anticipated very very cold temperatures for game time.  We decided to tailgate and go all out since it was a playoff game.  Thanks to a propane heater, dad's generator, and our little grill we were able to stay warm for our very fun and YUMMY tailgate!  Annie and I could hardly bend our legs we had so many layers of pants on and the guys of course wore their bibs :)  The game was a lot of fun and the stadium and people in it were absolutely crazy!  Unfortunately we didn't win but we still had a blast!  Pictures below :)

on our way!  Annie's "KC" is backwards because Amanda messed it up!  whoops!  :)

hanging out at our fabulous tailgate!

National Anthem

Amanda hits a quarter of a century.... the big two five!

Michael surprised me and took me for the weekend to the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City with our friends Bill and Dee.  Dee also shares the same birthday (January 11).  We went to sooo many yummy restaurants and stayed in an amazing room with a perfect view of the Plaza lights!
