HOOPFEST CHAMPIONS!!!

This year our boys battled two games the first day and 3 games the second day only to win EVERY game and become bracket champs!

It was HOT and, of course, street ball so they all got bruised up and banged up and Scott sprained his ankle (thanks Andrew for playing game #2) and even played the next day!

Way to go Jarman Lyle, Jon Asper, Jonny, and Scott Brady!!

Long time friends who have been through many tourneys together!

Until next year!

Week 37

Swollen, hot and ready to pop! Here I am in my favorite clothes lately...sweats. :)

At my appt last week I was 80% effaced and dialated to a 1.

The end is near!!

Our (soon to be) New Home!

So, we decided that we are staying in Post Falls area and will be building this home:

upstairs:

Main Level:

(....with a few changes :) )

3132 sq ft, 4 bed, 2.5 bath w/ office.

We got a great deal on it and will be in a culdesac in the Fieldstone development right between Post Falls high school and Prarie Falls golf course. :) (A little more North Central PF). The neighborhood is great; nice big park, paths and sidewalks. We should close November 11th.

We are so grateful to get into a home that fits our growing family and excited for the memories to be made here!

Summer is HERE!!

FINALLY!

At least for the last 3 days! We've been at a beach each day.

Here are the boys today at Cda City Park playing in the fountain(stream)/lake:

Here we are at Roger's Ice Cream afterward. Bubble gummin' it.

Yay for hot summer days, the lake and ice cream!

4 weeks and counting...

35 weeks

unbeatable heartburn, check. sleeplessness, check. swelling, check. no clothes that fit, check. Sick of no exercise, check.

I think I'm ready for this guy to get here! ;)

another week or so and I'm going to end the "taking it easy" and start the "mission: get this baby out".

We are excited and know he will be here before we can blink!!

Our Girl.

We are totally in shock after losing our 7 year old lab, Zoey this morning at approx 3:30 am after a short 3 day deterioration, 2 vet visits and a false hope for her to pull through after finding out she had ingested rat poisoning and had internal bleeding.

This girl was Jon and Brynne's first "baby", and has brought our family so much joy.

It rings so true when they say that no matter what, a dog will always love you.

She did just that.

All we have left are the pictures to show the place she held in our family and in our hearts.

To our companion, hiking buddy, running partner, wrestling buddy & "horsie", right hand rafter, swimmer, fetcher, protector, snuggler, lover and home body. We will miss you so much, Zoey. Our little family has never known life without you.

Thank you for being so amazing. Until we meet again...
