Tyler and Florida

I forgot to mention that Tyler went to Florida a couple weeks ago. He went to Marco Island which is down in Florida! He was down there for a week for a conference for his work! Check out some of the amazing pictures he took!

Our latest news!

Hey guys! We are going to try and be better at this! Its been a busy year and we can't believe that September is pretty much over! We bought our first house around a month ago and are loving it! We love having so much room and a place to call our own. Our next project will be the baby's room although we still have a few boxes left unpacked in the garage! Her room will be pink and brown. We are going to paint polka dots on the lower half of the walls....good thing my mom and dad will be down soon so mom can help me with that! She's super crafty.


Today I am 26 weeks along and it sure is flying fast! She is healthy as can be and is always moving around! I think she's a little dancer in there or maybe a kung fu fighter. Either way, she's really active and we have fun watching!

This past weekend, we made a trip down to Ogden, Ut. That's where Tyler's sister Tara and her husband Jason live. They had a baby boy last week and named him Ryder. Talk about a cutie! Most of Tyler's whole family was down there so it was nice to hang out and enjoy some time with them. Also it was battle of the pugs! Teddy (our pug) Frankie (Tara & Jason's pug) and Sampson (Ty's parents pug) all got to hang out. Teddy and Frankie are still young and so they love to kiss and play and run with each other. Sampson on the other hand, wasn't having it. He's old and likes his space :)

So, I was a bachelor this weekend....

Hey all,

So Alycia spent the weekend up in Coeur d' Alene/Pinehurst and the dog and I stayed home here in Boise. It was Alycia's moms birthday and her Dad was cool enough to fly her up so that she could be there with her family. Meanwhile, I stayed home and pretty much did nothing. By nothing, I pretty much mean it. I slept in as late as possible and then I hung out around the house with Teddy our dog. I'm even boring myself as I write this.

One thing I did do is clean up around the house. Now that Alycia's pregnant, I've tried to do more around the house so she doesn't have to. I can't stand doing the dishes but, surprisingly, I kinda enjoy vacuuming. Maybe it's because it makes noise and sucks stuff up or maybe it's because it scares the crap out of the dog. All I know is that I don't mind doing it.

I also cleaned the bathroom which has always been my job since we got married and I'm trying to remember how exactly I got stuck with this duty. Anyways, I cleaned the tub and toilet and even opened up some potpourri to ensure that our bathroom is fresh at all times. Not very manly, I admit, but it's true and it's just another thing that Alycia doesn't have to do.

The pregnancy is going really well and, lately, her belly has really been growing. Actually, it seemed to grow almost overnight and now there's no denying that a little baby is on the way. We've been going over different baby names but it seems like we've only been coming up with names for girls. It seems that everyone thinks we're going to be having a little girl instead of a boy. My sister, Tara, who believes she possesses the gift of being able to predict whether or not someone is going to have a boy or girl, says that a girl is on the way. On a side note, Tara says she's never been wrong and I think this merits further investigation. Anyways, even when I try to think up of some good boy names, only girl names pop into my mind. If anyone has any good name suggestions, please submit them because my mind is totally blank.

Well, this post has gone on long enough. If you have any good boy names then let us know. I'm gonna go find out why I always have to clean the bathroom. Later!

First Post-Alycia is Pregnant!

So, this is our first post and I've got something big to tell everyone. Alycia is Pregnant! We've known for a few weeks but held off on making it public until her first doctor's appointment. Well, we now know that she's 9 weeks pregnant and is due on January 6th. I feel bad for Alycia because she's been pretty sick for the last couple of weeks with morning sickness and I can only hope that it passes soon because it's hard to see her so miserable but it's nice knowing that everything is normal and the baby is healthy so far. Here is a pic of the first ultrasound.
