Ultrasound

Almost 11 weeks pregnant and baby is the size of a kumquat. Who's ever seen a kumquat anyway? Ha.

Baby is so little, slightly over an inch long

Fantasy Flight event

Jamie was honored to participate in the Fantasy Flight event this year. Fantasy Flight takes some of the areas most underprivileged children and flies them to the North Pole. As volunteers, we decorate a large hanger to look like the North Pole. Then the children are paired with volunteer elves and we board a flight that flies us to the North Pole. The kids get presents and partake in a lot of holiday festivities. These kids really have nothing, and it's amazing to see the smiles and joy this day brings them. It is a lot of work and an extremely long day, but it is life changing! Jamie sat on the INBTA board (Inland Northwest Travel Association) when they decided to select Fantasy Flight for the charity to support from our auction. Jamie was able to recruit Christie and Marnie to be elves with her as well. We were Trixie, Dixie, and Pixie. Unfortunately Christie couldn't join us last minute because Dalton was sick. Marnie and Jamie had a blast.

We had fun being elves for the day.

Our little bean

7 weeks pregnant. Here's one of our first ultrasounds. Tiny little bean... actually they say the baby is the size of a blueberry right now.

Baby has a strong heartbeat

We're expecting!

It's official... We're finally expecting! It's been a long journey, and after a couple rounds of fertility help, we are finally pregnant. Jamie tried to surprise Nick with her pumpkins, to let him know we're expecting. Unfortunately, he didn't get it. Nick was asking who put those pumpkins there and why, because we were getting ready to go out of town and he was worried about kids smashing them in the street. Ha. Jamie finally had to explain that she put them there. He still didn't get it, until she further explained that she was trying to make a statement.

Jamie thought this would be a clever way to let Nick know, since it's almost Halloween

Jamie must have taken 15 different tests to be sure. Such a surreal moment.

WSU game

We went to another Cougar game, meeting up with Myk and Marnie and Christie and Mark.

Jamie's new vehicle

We finally got Jamie a new vehicle! It was a long time coming, and we found the perfect little SUV.

Yep, we've become the white car family. Nick's truck, the jeep, and now Jamie's SUV, all white!

WSU game with friends

We enjoyed the WSU football game with Myk and Marnie. We joined them at their tailgating spot before the game.

Jamie's birthday

This year, Nick worked together with Christie and Marnie to throw a surprise party for Jamie's birthday. It couldn't have come at a better time. Jamie was so surprised and had a great time! She was surprised at the Melting Pot restaurant, walking in and seeing several friends there (a few traveling hours to be here). Dinner was amazing, and afterwards some of the girls headed to the Northern Quest Casino for a little more fun.

Marnie, Jamie, Kara, and Christie playing the slots!

Wisconsin trip for Katie's Wedding

We went to Wisconsin for Katie's wedding. Katie is Tim's daughter (Tim married Jamie's mom before she passed). We had a great trip, and the wedding was beautiful. We especially loved the steakhouse where the rehearsal dinner was at. It's one of those fun grill your own steaks experiences.

The beautiful couple!

Uncle Dennis took us to a Milwaukee Brewers game while we were there

We had great seats!

Jamie gets sunburned

It's no secret that Jamie only gets two shades... really white or red. After a weekend at One Rock, and wearing capri's, she came away with both shades on her legs. Too bad we're just getting ready to head to Wisconsin for a wedding. Guess Jamie will have to find a long dress to wear now... gotta cover those legs!

Well that looks rediculous!

Nick gets injured

Nick rolled his ankle pretty good this time. He was playing indoor soccer.

Ouch!
