Delanie Turns Three!

Delanie is now three years old. It is hard to believe it! We had a birthday party for her and were very lucky that Jolene, Matt, Lily, and Justin got to come since they live so far away. We of course had to have a princess themed party because Delanie wants to wear a princess dress or tutu every day and every night. She hasn't even seen the Disney movies yet!

She got a basketball hoop for her birthday and the girls got into a basketball game and the laughter was quite enjoyable. Thanks to everyone who made it to the party and for those that she received cards from. She carried the cards around and talked about each one.

Busy Busy Busy!

It is hard to believe how fast the rest of the year is going to go! Tomorrow is my sister's birthday, 23 I believe. This weekend I have some wonderful friends throwing me a small baby shower, next weekend I am attending one of those friends baby shower, and at that point I will have only 6 weeks left until baby arrives.

With Easter around the corner and two days off of school I decided to take two personal days to make it a 6 day vacation! I am very excited about that. The following days I have the SDCA Counseling conference. I remember clearly in 2008 I was having some minor contractions at this conference in Rapid City and was blessed with Delanie just three days later! So we will see.

Bruce is so used to being gone for hunting and fishing and for once I am the busy one. I think he is getting a taste of what is it like:)

Coming Soon!

Well, Friday the 31st marked my halfway point through my second pregnancy! I had an ultrasound and found out that baby is measuring perfect to the day. My due date is May the 20th. I guess it couldn't have happened at a better time considering the last day of school is May 18th! It would still be nice to get out a week early or so:) Yes, we do know what we are having, but trying to keep it a secret from Bruce's family. We will see if we can manage. This pregnancy has been quite different than the first. 15 weeks of all day sickness, followed by some other minor complications which I won't mention. Next up, trying to catch up on a gaining a pound a week. We will see!

Christmas time!

We started with Christmas with my dad the week before Christmas. Christmas Eve we went to my dad's brothers house in Flandreau and ate way too much food. Christmas Day we stayed home for the most part, except for a quick trip to Jen and Ty's. My mom and Denny came to our house for a bit as well. Then on the 26th we drove to Wagner and spend the day at Bruce's brother Matt's house and in the same day drove back. It seemed like a whirlwind Christmas this year and I am honestly exhausted. Maybe that is why I went to sleep at 830 on NYE! I hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Preparing for the cold

Bruce's 2010 Archery Deer

Bruce was pretty proud of his Archery Deer so I thought I should post it. He got it quickly so he wasn't gone from home for as long as we thought he would be. Which I am very grateful for!
