Project for the month!

So I decided it's offically important to have matching Christmas stockings now that we are going to starting our little family. So that's what I've been working on the last couple of weeks, and I think they turned out so cute! The stockings were designed by my very crafty and talented sister-in-law, Leslie. And for those of you who don't know we are going to be naming the baby Jackson Gene Fryberger, but Jackson wouldn't fit so I just went with Jacks! :)

Halloween!

Here are some pictures of our Halloween weekend. For those of you who don't know, Don's birthday is on Halloween so we were able to celebrate that too! He is 25! He's getting old! :) We dressed up as Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd, our costumes turned out pretty cute I think! Enjoy!

Okay so we finally got the crib done! And it looks so good, it even looks better in person...the pictures don't do it justice. I got the cute crib bedding off ebay for a really good deal and I love it! Don and I are having fun getting everything ready for the baby :) Also attached is an updated pregnancy picture.... about 28 weeks!! Less than three months to go!

BABY SHOWER!!

So this last weekend we had my baby shower! It was so fun, I had a lot of family and friends come for it, and it was so fun to see everyone! My mom was such a sport and spent so much time making it the best baby shower ever! My mom made me a baby shower cake...I attached a picture below, it turned out so cute! It was made of diapers and onsies and pants and bibs...it was so fun! My sister-in-law Audrina also spent a lot of time making it a special day for me, she spent a lot of time preparing fun games...and I know everyone had fun! Enjoy the pictures...tomorrow I will be posting pictures of the nursery...we finally got the crib together and have started getting everything ready for the new addition to our family!

My sister-in-law, Audrina, doing games! You had to match the candy bar with the the phrase you drew...I received a Skor bar for drawing the phrase in the next picture! :)

I received some really cute sleepers from my sister Rachelle, here is one of them!

This is the baby shower cake my mom made....so cute. She also made the cute receiving blanket its on, and I absolutely love it, it will be well used!

Update on crib..and new pregnancy photo

We are almost done with the crib. We just have to finish one more side then put a ton of coats of finish to smooth out the rough spots. We are loving working on it and loving even more how it's turning out! Don is so talented with his woodwork!

This is me at about 25 weeks, only 15 weeks to go! Yipee!!!

Project of the Month

So for those of you who don't know, Don is making the baby crib. He has been working really hard on it, and it is starting to take form! I love what he has done so far and can't wait to see it completed! He is so talented! Below is a picture of one of the end pieces he has done.

...and I have finally found a crib bedding set that I just love! I got it off of ebay for a really good deal. I love the colors and the design. I can't wait till everything is done and I can complete the nursery! :)

Don and I went to his parents in Montana this weekend. We went to First Peoples Buffalo Jump and it was pretty cool. It's a cliff the indians used to run buffalo off to kill them. It was pretty neat, and I've decided that the indians were a bunch of smarties :) On one of the notes they have along the walk, they said some of the indians would run with the buffalo off the cliff and just hang on to a ledge, so Don and I tried it... well sort of anyway! :) And after reading that last statement I just wrote, I changed my mind and decided that some indians weren't that smart!

Pink or blue?? :)

:) Well today was the day we found out what we are going to have. I couldn't sleep at all last night I was so excited...it was like Christmas all over again. Anyways, attached are some of the ultrasound pictures. I want to see if you can tell if we are going to go pink or blue on this baby!

Our new apartment!

K, so I decided it was finally time to put pictures up of our new apartment! Sorry it took so long...I just got the last of it unpacked! :) We love it here, we can't even tell that we live in town which makes it nice. We have our own yard for the first time, and the owner just told us that next year we can plant a garden! That will be so fun...my very first garden! Our apartment is a two bedroom, two bathroom it's nice and roomy. I'll be turning the second room into the nursery very soon! I'm pretty excited to get started on that! Anyways, here's the pictures! Some pictures don't show the rooms very well, but I couldn't get a very good angle.

This is our spare bedroom/workout room/soon to be nursery :)

Canning

I felt very productive today! I got 14 pints of peach jam done, and 14 quarts of canned peaches, they turned out amazing! The peach jam recipe that I used is so delicious! I have attached the recipe below if anyone is interested! Enjoy! :)

Delicious Peach Jam

5-6 cups finely cut peaches (blanched)

1/2 cup orange juice (not concentrated)

5 cups sugar

1 small bottle of maraschino cherries (drained and chopped)

1 3 oz. pkg orange jello

Combine peaches, orange juice, and sugar and boil for 15 minutes. Add cherries, cook an additional 10 minutes. Stir in jello. Pour in jars and process for 15 minutes.

Haircut!!

I don't know why I decided to get such a drastic haircut, but I was ready for something new. I love the new look!

Our little baby! :)

So this ultrasound picture was taken when I was 13 weeks along. The baby is laying horizontally with the head on the right side of the picture! The doctor said she can already tell it's a cute baby just from this picture! :)

This picture was taken when I was 17 weeks, I had zero belly!

20 weeks!! Half way there! I finally have a tiny little belly! It is so fun for me to finally start showing that I REALLY am pregnant! :)

New Car!

My 91 Honda Accord has been giving me fits! When I drive the brakes will randomly not work, for some reason there is no pressure behind it, and it scares me to death! So my sweet husband said I can finally get a new car! I love it, I've never know the joy of having a car with automatic windows, a seat that moves by pushing down a button, volume control on the steering wheel, and the button thing on the key chain to lock all the doors! It is SOOOO cool! It should be a reliable car and last us a long time! It's a 98 Honda Accord, with leather interior (easy clean up for when you start to have kids! :) ) Anyways, check out our cool car!!!
