Belly Shots

Well here they are. These pictures are for all those relatives out there wondering how my belly is growing. They're not the greatest pictures, and I have grown a little since but they will do for now. Here I am at 20 weeks. It's nice to finally be wearing maternity clothing. Although it was very expensive to buy. But atleast when I wear them to work people can actually see that I'm pregnant and not just putting on weight.

Brad and I are pretty excited for our first ultrasound coming up in just over a week. We can't wait!! Hopefully all goes well.

Hudson has been allowed to sleep on our bed the last couple of weeks, cause we're trying to get him house trained. He absolutely loves it, and has become more cudly because of it. I think it's coming to an end though cause I'm getting really bad back pain from not being able to move around as much.

So there you have it, a few prego shots for you all. The baby has really started to move now, and I can feel it more at night or when I lay down. Unfortunately Brad has yet to feel this exciting movement.

BULLORAMA!!

Last weekend Brad and I went to a bull riding rodeo out on westside road. It was a lot of fun. Nothing like the Calgary Stampede i'm sure but still very entertaining. I think our camera captured some pretty nice shots.

There were two bulls who were just adament about not wanted to be riden. As you can see from the picture below they kept jumping these 7 foot fences and one even cleared the exit fence and headed onto the highway and eventually into another field. They were bulls with attitude.

Moving???

As most of you know, Brad was just certified to be an assitant manager with Kal Tire. He could step into the ast. manager role right away but has decided to step into a commercial sales position with kal tire instead. This means more independance, more flexible hours, company vehicle and more. Unfortunately the Vernon store does not have a position available, so we've been looking at northern Alberta. There is a position available in Lloydminster that is looking pretty good, so Brad will be flying up there the last week in July to check it out. If all goes well, then I too will fly up there at a later time with Brad and check out housing and jobs. It will be hard to leave my parents and sister here in Vernon, but at the same time my other sister Laura and her husband are only an hour from Lloyd and Brad's brother and his wife only 4 hours away. It's exciting at the same time to finally take a step out from Vernon and experience new things and new challenges. We're not sure if this is where God wants us but he has yet to shut the door on the possibility of moving to Lloyd. Therefore, we could be in Lloyd as soon as September. It would be nice to be there asap to find a doctor that can deliver our baby, also to be able to settle in to our new home. Anyways, that's the news with us...but we'll keep you all updated with how Brad's trip goes in a few weeks.

My brother's wedding.

I can finally call Darcie a sister! I'm so glad that my brother got married to Darcie on June 23. It was a gorgeous wedding, in which Brad and I both were honoured to be involved in. They honeymooned in the Dominican and are going to be living in Toronto for the next four years while Darcie finishes her schooling to become a chiropractor. Here's some pictures for you all to see.Unfortunatley Darcie was sick the night before and almost couldn't make it to the hair apt. I think nerves had a hold of her. But she pulled through great.

I honestly thought we were going to be an hour late to the wedding with these buttons. We were all a little nervous and sweaty and those buttons were a pain. But thankfully we got in done in half an hour and was only 5-10 late for the wedding.

Jason and Darcie can't take Emmett with them to Ontario because of the ban on pitbulls, so Josh and Laura are now the new owners of Emmett. Emmett was also involved in the wedding as the picture below shows. He did great.

I love this picture of us four. We all look so grown up.

My mom and dad both looked great at the wedding. They both are currently losing weight and looked great!

Altogether it was a GREAT day of celebration. It's too bad Shelley's boyfriend Jackson couldn't make if from Africa, he was there in our thoughts though!
