Holiday Fun

Mike and I had a great holiday weekend. We had Thanksgiving with my parents and brothers. We had a great time. Friday night we were able to go to another Grizzlies game thanks to Mike's parents who have season tickets but were unable to use them because they went to visit relatives in New Mexico for the holiday. We invited my parents to the game too and I'm pretty sure they had a great time.

Mike had another football game on Saturday. Instead of leading the defense, which is what he usually does, he was playing offense. There were a couple of bad mistakes from our team that lead to touchdowns for the opposing team. All in all our guys played well. Mike got injured in the second half and twisted his knee. He's fine now but will have to spend this next week or more nursing it back to full strength.
Well that's all for now. Happy holidays!

Good Times

This past weekend was a good one. Mike and I got so much done and still had time to play. It's been a while since I have had the energy to complete any household projects or run many errands. We decided to put up some much needed shelves in our garage so we could organize it and get all the storage out of the house and in the garage where it belongs. Just in case anyone else is looking to do the same thing here's a helpful tip: don't buy pre-made shelves. We went to Lowes and were looking at getting pre-made shelves and to do 8 shelves it would have cost us over 150 dollars. Instead we decided to buy sub-flooring in sheets and cut it to size. I'm so glad we did that instead. The total ended up being less than 50 dollars. My favorite part of this whole thing is the smell of my garage lol. I LOVE the smell of the wood we bought. I could stand in there doing nothing, just sniffing, for hours lol. That's gotta be a pregnancy symptom right? :)

Mike and I also decided we needed a new tv. A couple of years ago Mike won a big screen tv in a drawing at the gym we went to but that tv is kind of stone age now lol. It's a projection tv and we recently broke where the satellite plugs in so watching tv on it is kind of a pain. We also realized he and I have never purchased a tv together. So, we decided Christmas would come early this year and we went and bought a nice plasma tv that actually works! Mike was sooooo excited! He is excited for the superbowl even more now.

Speaking of football Mike had another game last Saturday. The Aces (his team) played the Scorpions who just happen to be the best team in the league. Mike did so awesome! He's the captain of the defense so he basically got to decide who does what. He got like 15 tackles in the game. I had so much fun watching him play and this time I was all pissed off. Last week the team wasn't playing well together and they were making a lot of mistakes. This week they played like a team and the defense really got the job done. Unfortunately the offense is still lacking a little bit and they couldn't get us quite there but they also did much better than last week. Mike's brother Mark got a mild concussion and had to go to the hospital but he's ok now. I'm looking forward to next week's game. Our coach talked to the other team's coach and found out that a lot of their strategy for next week's game is to stop Mike. He got some attention at this last game and he has people worried. Awesome! lol

Football and Ripped Pants

Not much has happened as far as baby news since the last time I posted. Mike and I are just getting things ready for little (or not so little) Jaxson to make his grand entrance. :)

Mike's arena football team the Aces had their first game last Saturday. My brother Chris and my friend Mary and her family came out to support him which was awesome! He has a game every Saturday at the Sportsplex which is right across the street from my work. The Aces lost their first game which was pretty rough but Mike and his brothers, who also play with the Aces, did a great job. I got pretty into the game which kind of surprised me... I'm not exactly a fan of football... but I am a HUGE fan of Mike! I plan on going to all his games and having a great time. Fans, friends, and family are welcome to come support him too. It costs 5 bucks to get in which is pretty lame but I say it's worth it.

So I know this is dumb to write about but I'm upset! I totally ripped my pants at work today on my desk key! The key originally had some plastic covering the sharp edges but has since broken off. Well the key was in my desk drawer and I went to get up from my desk and I snagged and ripped my jeans on the stupid metal key! Now to most people this would be annoying but nothing major... well me being pregnant and not wanting to go shopping for bigger pants or even worse, maternity pants, I am down to 2 pairs, now 1 pair of pants that still fit me. This is a tragedy! Not only am I down a nice pair of jeans, but now I have to go through the humiliation of buying pants while pregnant... and if by some miracle I find some that fit me well and actually compliment me, chances are they won't fit me 2 weeks from now anyway! Well I thank anyone who read this and sympathized with me... even though I know you're all really just laughing at me but at least you're laughing!

I've added in some pictures of my furry kids Cena and Kronk. Aren't they cute?

Cena

Kronk

Our Little Man!

We had another doctor appointment today and it was my targeted ultrasound. Basically the ultrasound technician looked at all of the baby to make sure all the organs and everything look ok. She said he's a healthy baby and still a boy lol. She did a 3d ultrasound too but Jaxson was moving around so much we didn't get a very good picture of his face. I'm posting the few pictures we got that don't look as creepy hehe.

Jaxson Sucking His Thumb

Here's the best picture we got of Jaxson. You can see both his hands up by his face and he's sucking his thumb. You can see almost all of his right arm too. In my opinion it looks like he's smiling at his mom and dad too :)

Jaxson's Face

This picture looks kind of weird but it was the only picture of Jaxson without his hands in front of his face. Apparently our little man likes to hide behind his hands lol.

Jaxson's Massive Leg

Ok, even the nurse was impressed by this one. This little man already has buff legs. His thigh is on the right and you can see the whole leg down to the foot. We (my mom and sister Amanda) were all joking when we saw this hoping he wouldn't be too massive to deliver. I'm just glad we have a healthy baby boy!
