Work Work

Work has been the theme of this Holiday weekend. Although we still took some time to do a little grilli'n on our 3rd floor patio. We of course have to use an electric grill because a bunch of idiots did not watch their grills in the past and burnt their apt. and condos. So we have to suffer. I will be exctited to cook on my own real grill someday.

Anyways we did grill some hotdogs and ate some watermelon in between all the painting. Yes, we painted the baby's room without knowing the gender. How dare we do such a thing. I mean how do you paint a room for a baby not knowing what the gender is. Well, first get some paint brushes, paint of course, a roller or two and some plastic to protect you and the floor. Then you start painting. See its not that hard. Well it is if you're fussy like me. I know I know what color did we paint? Well by the name will you will know who picked it. Drum roll please and the name is ............ Zippy Do Dah. Yes Nickie picked it. ( light green) Then of course one room is not enough so I got to paint the hallway. Well , I am glad its done thats all I can say. Nickie of course did not think painting would be enough work for her as a pregnant woman so she started out by planting flowers and herbs in some pots on our third floor patio.

Also something that was cool was that Nickie got to sing with an ensemble at church this weekend. She was very excited and had a good time. Maybe next time it will be trio and then maybe a solo. Time will tell.

To prove we did all the above here are some pics and links to prove so.

Memorial Day Weekend

Well happy blogging till next time

Baby is Kicking in

Well, the baby is really starting to wear Nickie down. She was officially 6 mo. yesterday. So to celebrate I got VIP passes to the Merrel Crawfish Boil. She got hear the sweet music of Papa Roach and just some good staight up Rock'n Roll of 3 Doors Down. We got to rip the heads off a hundred crawfish just to tease our appetite, some spicy corn  and potatoes. What an experience. It think I had more crawfish guts on me than  in my plate. To much work for food I'd say.

So if you believe everthing I said above I would love to show you also my ocean front property in Arizona. Price is  negotiatable. I really did not buy VIP passes. They were given to me from my boss buying Merrel shoes a day or two before. We did get to hear Papa Roach but Nickie did not think they were sweet, but she doesn't mind 3 Doors Down.

All this to say Nickie is starting to pop you could say and I finally felt the baby kick the other day. Pretty exciting. I can't wait to see the baby pushing on her tummy. So to those of you who blogg I salute you until next time.

Happy blogging.

Ultrasound Three

Well, I know we did not tell anyone about a third ultrasound but we did have one.  We went in on Tuesday, 5/6/08,  and went through the process again.  Of course Nickie required me to be there again.  I was stuborn about it just because I did not want take off any more time because we were gone the alot the week before because of my best friends wedding in VA.  That sounds like a movie.  Any way, the Dr. did not get enough measurements on the heart and the brain on the second required ultrasound.  So this time they were able to get what they needed and all is well. So this morning we woke up at the crack of noon and started our Saturday routine of cleaning when Nickie handed me a paper with a list of to do's. (honey do list).  So by doing this blog I am obeying orders. Here of course are pics from the Ultrasound. Also I will post a link to pics of Nickie and other ultrasounds. Also remember you can go to these links anytime and see updates. Hint, this pic of Nickie is a link to a bunch of pics.

Family Update

Happy blogging.
