THE BAMBINO!

OUR LITTLE BAMBINO!

Head (black spot in the brain)      See the arm sticking up?         And a little pointy butt.

 This was several weeks ago. The baby was only 8 weeks old, and 2.5 cm long, it's heart was beating 169 beats per minute. We are due June 4th and are VERY excited! At the time of this post I am 13.5 weeks along... and feeling GREAT!

BABY SHOWER

BABY SHOWER!

Mari, Jody, Caroline, Kira and Rebecca threw a Baby Shower for Callie and Susan!

It was such a blast, the theme was BUGS! We made everyone wear cut out Eye Lashes on their sun glasses so that they all looked like bugs!  We had over 40 people there!  Such an encouragement to see that these two new babies will be surrounded by people who love them!

This is the sunset at the end of a very long and a very hard day.

It was God's little gift to us. We felt like He gave this beauty to us that 

day to remind us that He's here in midst of all of our troubles.  

It was an amazing feeling.

NEW BIKES!

Mari got a Cruizer!  And Preston got a SWOBO one speed road bike!

Ovarian Cancer Video

Here is the video that Mari Shot and edited 

for the Ovarian Cancer Benefit on Sat.

and awareness of Ovarian Cancer

in Routt County.  It was A LOT of 

fun, I think everyone who attended

had a great time!

Norma Livingston Ovarian Cancer

Foundation won Mari's Egg that she 

painted to be auctioned off.

NO MORE PAPER ROUTE!

Our first breakfast together on a weekday in a year and four months!  woo hoo!

Preston is officially done with the paper route!  So we actually get to see each other in the morning and have breakfast together!  Much better than by ourselves.  We are so excited for all the changes that will be happening in our live now that the route is over.  like.... not having to go to bed at 8:30pm!  and not having to wake up 7 days a week at 3am. Now that's something you can cheers your coffee to!
