Anna and Addison - This one is for you!

My sister and brother-in-law recently welcomed twin girls! Anna and Addison are an amazing blessing and we can't get enough of the updates their beautiful mommy sends. In honor of these little girls I had to re-post this You Tube of twin boys having a very serious conversation, apparently something to do with their socks. :-) I love this video as it makes me think of all the fun and joy to come with twins!

Beautiful mommy and her little darlings.

Happy Eggplant Day!

We have reached a milestone, baby is now the size of an eggplant. At 25 weeks old my little eggplant is regularly kicking, nudging and poking mommy. He is also starting to develop patterns of active times in the day. He is very active after lunch, this time is a personal favorite for me as it is fun to sit at my desk and pretend to work while I am really focusing on the dance party taking place in my tummy.

So to honor 'Eggplant Day', here is an image of my belly dressed in the color eggplant. 

Oh, and remember that walk I took with my camera yesterday? I failed to mention that I got my first photographer injury. Basically what started as a simple stumble wound up in a full-on limbs flailing fall. I am blaming pregnancy, not quite as agile on my feet these days. Don't worry, the only victim is my poor knee, camera and baby belly are fine.  

Is it Spring Yet?

One of the unexpected side effects of my pregnancy is cabin fever - big time. I am not snowboarding this winter and it is too uncomfortable to run at this point. I like walks and Scot has been a great walking buddy (bless his heart) but the weather in Boise has been pretty crummy this March. Great for greening up lawns, not so great for stove up preggos. So I can't tell you how happy I am that today is glorious in Boise! Sun is shining, blue skies, birds singing and 68 degrees! So I took my new camera for a walk and captured a few pictures of the Boise foothills.

I feel pretty lucky to have all of this four blocks from my house! It was a wonderful way to put a smile on my face. 

A Nursery is Born

Weekends are a little different around the Scheffel house these days. There is a lot less sleeping in and lounging around and a lot more shopping and assembling. Take this last Saturday for instance, after an hour of crib assembly our spare room is officially a nursery!
Step 1: Wade through a ridiculous amount of packaging.

Step 2: Get to work.

It was a two and a half man job. Baby is the 1/2 - get it? Ha Ha. ;-)

Step 3: Pose with your handy work. 

We still have a long way to go in the nursery, but this was a fun step in the right direction. Plus, I can't help but smile when I look at this picture and think about the little man that will occupy this bed very soon. 

A New Beginning

I was speaking to my very wonderful sister-in-law last weekend and she commented that although she loves my last post about getting married, I can't let my blog end there. That post was a nice way to wrap up a chapter in life - the single chapter - but it is time for a new beginning.

So, new blog look, same blog location and LOTS of new developments.

First off, check out what Scot and I have been up to since we got married:

That's right, we made a little human. A boy to be precise. And not a shy boy as evidenced by this next image. (My son may come to resent that I so gleefully shared this image but I think it is funny that he was spread eagle for the ultrasound tech. Her comment was: "If this baby does not turn out to be a boy, I am quitting my job")

Finally, a shot of his little legs. Already we are growing an athlete - Scot is ready to play catch with him. I said he needs to wait. Moms can be no fun sometimes. :-)

A Married Lady!

Yes! I am back and this time as a married lady! In what is now the best weekend of my life, I married the fella of my dreams! The weather was wonderful, sun shining, birds singing . . . perfection. I might be biased, but it was the best wedding I have ever attended. :-)

Here is just a sneak peak of pictures from our photographer.

So Happy!

Being a Bachelorette!

I have been on quite a few bachelorette parties but let me tell you something, when YOU are the bachelorette, it is WAY more fun! :-) For my long-anticipated bachelorette party a group of amazing gal pals and I spent the weekend in San Diego, AKA Sun Diego. It was a fun-filled weekend with great friends and hilarious memories. To my amazing ladies: thanks for an unbelievable time. I love you gals!

All dressed up to hit the town.

But before that, a little fun. Just what every gal needs - a pillowcase with her fella on it! Expect to see this and the infamous Snoopy pillow on your next camping trip with the Scheffel's. :-) Thanks Laura - I love it!

My girls! Danny, me and Kristen at dinner. Like my tiara? :-)

Question: How do you ride a mechanical bull when you are wearing a tight white dress?

Answer: Have a good friend like Jenn let you borrow her jeans.

Yee Haw!!

The next day: Cruising in Mission Beach

So fun!

The crew on cruising day.

The ambassador of Dizzy Bat: Cody. Love ya girl - thanks for bringing the fun!

The ocean at last. I love it here!
