Nursery!

This weekend was spent getting the nursery ready. It was so much fun!! Thanks to Dave Day (my cousin Brandie's husband...yes the same cousin that just threw me a wonderful shower...I know...we owe them BIG) who painted the Wong's crib they lent us (thanks to them too!!) and built us the fabulous shelves around the window seat. They look great!!!! We still have a few finishing touches to add to the nursery but it is well on it's way!!

Also...thanks Mike for all your work this weekend...I am a lucky wife and Keaton is a lucky kid!

Finally....a belly update!!

Here is a photo of me at 32 almost 33 weeks (tomorrow).

Baby Shower!!

Wow!! I had such a wonderful shower this weekend in Spokane!! Thank you Brandie and Crystal for putting together such an amazing event. The details and thought you put into everything really showed. I love how everything went with the theme! You make a good team!! Keaton really owes you two :)

Also, thanks to those that helped out and brought food and lended their time...Betsy Hathaway, Niki, Tracy and Caroline, Michele (Crystal's Mom), Jaime, Brandie's Aunt Lauri, Jamie Kelp and my Mom. I love you all and really appreciate you taking the time to come and also lend your skills.

Thanks to all for coming and the fabulous gifts we received. We are going to be well equipped once he's ready to show his little face. Keaton is already so loved...he sure is a lucky kid :)

Special thanks to Mike's Mom Donna and my Aunt Mary for making the trip from Boise and Seattle. It sure made the shower that much more special.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Brandie, Crystal, Betsy Hathaway, Tracy, Caroline, Niki, Jaime, Jamie Kelp, Christine, Leslie, Betsy Bertelsen, Grandma Heck, Nana Dahlberg, Aunt Mary, Michele, Jenifor Wells, Tamra, Aunt Laurie and Aunt Debbie.

It's been a while...

Sorry for the delayed posting! We left out camera charger when we were in Spokane so that's why we haven't done any belly photos. I promised one next week after we return from Spokane with our charger! I will be 32 weeks at that point.

This last weekend we had our 3rd annual St. Patty's Day party....and again no pics! Sorry. It was a good time. The weather wasn't the same as last year (last year it was in the 60's) but at least it didn't rain!! It's amazing how the kid to adult ratio has increased over the last few years. We are slowly being taken over!!

We are going to take off Thursday after work and head to Spokane/Post Falls for the weekend. My cousin Brandie and Crystal are throwing me my first baby shower in Spokane this weekend. We were going to leave Friday, but after the brackets were announced yesterday we decided we either needed to wait until later in the day Friday to leave or already be there Friday morning in order to catch the BSU game and the Gonzaga game.

I am 31 weeks and everything is going great! He is very active and seems to be rolling around all the time...especially when I am trying to sleep :) We haven't done much with the nursery yet....but I am betting after we get back from Spokane it will prompt me to get my butt in gear!!

We hope this finds all of you doing well! We miss you and love you much.

Mickey Mouse Pancakes

Practice, practice, practice.  That's what's going through the head of this new Dad to be.  I keep thinking about Keaton's first steps, his first ride on two wheels, his first toss of a baseball, etc.  Although he's the one who's going to have to practice these movements I'm not without practice responsibilities of my own.  I'm going to have to apply the perfect Bandaid, sing the perfect lullaby and of course make the perfect Mickey Mouse pancakes.  Most of the practice time will have to wait until he's born but pancake perfection can be achieved prior to Keaton's arrival.  Unfortunately I didn't take a picture of this morning's first attempt I can assure you that it was near perfection.  Perfection is only three or four more Saturday mornings away.  Hey Keaton, I can't promise that I'll be the perfect Dad but I can promise that I can give you the perfect Mickey Mouse pancakes.   

Spokane

This last weekend we had a quick trip up to Spokane for a visit. We stayed at my parents house and it was the first time my mom got to see me in person with my baby belly. It didn't take long for her to bond with her newest grandchild. We brought up our wii and introduced them to wii bowling. I think they might be getting one of their own pretty soon. They both made it to pro status before the end of the weekend. We got a personal tour of the Post Falls Cabela's store where my mom works and also got to enjoy the family discount....thanks Mom!! Of course we had to head to Hudson's for some famous Hud burgers. Between the 2 (or 3 of us) of us...Mike and I had 5 burgers. That is a new record for us. Here is a great article about the establishment in Sunset Magazine for those that haven't been there. http://www.sunset.com/sunset/travel/northwest/article/0,20633,1665924,00.html

We were able to catch up with Mike's college friends Kennet and Betsy Bertelsen and their new daughter Elsa. She's such a cute little gal!! I was much better behaved this time than the last time we caught up with them in Spokane...no need to sleep in their spare bed and and have Betsy wash my clothes this time :)

We also caught a clumsy lovers concert with my Spokane gals and Brandie and Dave. Thanks everyone for the good times.

And of course...what's a trip to Spokane with out a little NASCAR racing? Sunday we headed to Aunt Debbie and Uncle Jodi's for the Daytona 500, some kick ass chili, good times with family and of course a little more wii action!!

It was great seeing everyone. Thanks for the good times and we hope to see you when we are back up there in March.

The soon to be addition to the Dahlberg Family....

Yes....we are upgrading! We can't wait to get this puppy out!!
