A Series of Unfortunate Events

For my second English college class I took a fiction class. One of the sections was children's literature. We read the first book in A Series of Unfortunate Events: A Bad Beginning. I enjoyed this book so much. I had already decided at that point that one day in the future when I had kids that I would get the rest of this series for them. I know its a kids book but it is so entertaining and I figure if I am reading them books I want to enjoy them too.

Recently I bought some books off of amazon and needed to purchase just $10 more so that I could avoid a shipping cost of $5. So I got the second book. I haven't started reading it yet but I just might. They say at this point the baby can hear what's going on outside of the womb. Wouldn't that be a sight, me reading a 10 year old's book out loud to my pregnant self. I might just have to do it. Or if anyone wants to come over, we can have story time.

p.s. If you didn't like the movie, no worries. It didn't do the books justice.

Week 40

1 year

Happy Anniversary to our blog. One year ago (and 323 posts later) we started our blog. We cooked, couponed, talked about the pets and our other adventures. It's been a good year. This next year we will venture into a new stage of life with a baby, and I am sure that our blog might take on a slightly new perspective.

Thanks for reading!

Balloons

To celebrate Glen's birthday we had a quiet dinner at home. We had caesar salad, loaded mashed potato cassarole (a new favorite!), chicken wings, and for dessert these red velvet cupcakes.

I had blown up some balloons to make our house more festive. So after dinner, we let Abby have some fun.

Happy Birthday Sweets!

I want to wish a happy birthday to my awesome husband ! I love you!

Sometimes I call him sweets {hence the blog title}. I don't know why I just do.

Random fact...the sum of our ages now equal 50. That's half of a 100. I can't wait to spend the years with you until the sum of our ages equal 100 that is. Just kidding.

Also, if you didn't notice. Glen's shirt says, "I'm a smashing success"! It speaks the truth.

Blogger Poll Fail

I am taking down the "Is baby scogin a boy or girl?" poll. It has been reported that almost everyone who has tried to vote has not been able to. Sad. If you would like to give your input go comment on this post! I would love to know what you think and if the majority will win out and be correct.

On another note, I am very excited to announce that our little baby is going to have a cousin just one month younger in age! I think they are going to be best friends! Congrats to my sister, Rachel!

Almost 18 weeks + something fun

I feel like I just popped this past week. Its like my abs just gave up and let my baby bump win. Although depending on what I wear I can still hide (like I would want to) that I am pregnant, but anyone who knows me will certainly be able to tell. So here it is...almost 18 weeks.

Check out 14 weeks here.

Also, something fun...I have added a poll on the top right side of my blog so that you awesome readers can vote whether you think baby scogin will be a boy or a girl. We get to find out in a little less than 3 weeks!

Some lucky reader who votes correctly will be chosen and they will get to name baby scogin! Just kidding...we are not that crazy, but I thought it would be fun to see if one gender wins out against the other.

P.S. If the poll won't let you vote for some reason (blogger can be kind of fidgety sometimes) feel free to leave a comment instead!
