The baby got tons of cute blankets (my grandma went crazy.. and spoiled this little one) Cute clothes, bath stuff, toys, diapers.. LOTS and LOTS!! my grandma made him some cute western shirts, and my favorite was his blessing outfit. I started to cry, and felt like a tard! But its soo cute!!! I loved it!!! Ah.. I cant wait to set up his room with Brent!!! I still cant believe that Brent and I are going to become parents in a month and 2 weeks.

I didnt get any pictures on my camera because the dang thing was out of batteries :(, so Im hoping I can get copies from my mom's camera. But ill post pictures of some of the items once I can.

Any Diaper bag input I would LOVE it!!! haha!!! Thanks! Hmm.. and does it REALLY matter i f you have "girly bag" or a "boyish bag" for the gender your having. lol!!!!!

 I am now 32 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it! Uh.. Its going by so fast!! My baby shower is in 2 weeks :), and then a month really to go! Its so crazy... I cant wait to see this little guy and just Fall in love even more!!! ( I feel like I look like an ompa lompa! haha).. and I am for sure feeling the UGH part of the pregnancy!!!

Brent and I have a lot to do in the next month.. the big one is moving!!! We are FINALLY moving out of this place, into a smaller but "homier" place. Its still in Enterprise ( I dont think well every leave, we love it here.) Anyway, I feel bad because I cant really lift of do anything, so its a good thing we have such GREAT friends that will help us!!! And hopefully I can get the new house all settled and ready before Brutis gets here! Which I think I will, because I love unpacking and decorating!!! Plus, it will give me something to do! ha!

Elk Hunt '10

My father in Law has been waiting for this hunt since 1977. He finally drew out for the Indian Peeks bull elk hunt and opening morning he shot this BEAUTY!!!!!! (my pictures and writing are being retarded so the pictures are first then the writing.) He is HaUGE!!!!!! and his antlers are wide and amazing!!! We were all pretty excited for him :).

Kirk and his TROPHY!!!

We couldnt stop smilling!! Although, I look huge, and my face is puffy from the allergies!! but oh well! 

 After that everyone loaded him up into a ranger.. which was CRAZY to see, because he weighs at least 800 pounds haha.. He is so big!!! But they did it, got him gutted and headed to town to hang him! A couple days later Brents uncle Jim got his Elk!!

It was a FUN camping trip!! After we got our elks, we just relaxed went riding and enjoyed the pleasures of camping!! It was fun!!! And so worth the allergies, although they SUCKED!!! My poor nose, eyes, coughing, UH!!! It feels good to be home and I can now feel the allergies run off me! ha!!

The kids were so excited to take the ranger out for a ride!! Ally didnt want to get out of it!

 ..computer wont let me add anymore picts! But, I will once It stops being lame! haha!!! Grr!!!!

Baby Registry

Cant believe its ALREADY that time to register for the shower!!! (which isnt till the end of Oct. but I figured Id be a few steps ahead.) anyway Im really not sure what to put on there for people??? Ive got a few major things that I need.. Everything bath stuff, diapers, wipes, bouncie, swing, and a few other odds and ends that I just figured I needed.. Anyone have any ideas?? or thoughts of what I should put on there so if people do look at the registry they have some what of an idea???
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!!!!!

YeEhAw!

I have to say I am very excited that I sewed this myself. I have made a couple baby blankets, but this was a little different. I went off of a friends cover that she made, and I just went for it! There are lots of OOPSIES with it, but you cant tell unless you stair at it and really critique it!!! But, anyway, YAY my first sewing thing I made for our little baby!!! Ha!!!

Baby Brutis!

BRUTIS BRACKEN... BRUT for ShoRt!!!!

Our Little boy has recieved the nickname Brutis :)!!! Thanks to his wonderful Parents!!!! When I was in Kansas I saw a sign that said STOP and visit Brutis the Bull, So as a joke I texted Brent and told him I had the PERECT name for our little boy, and solve our problems of coming up with a GREAT name!!! I told him Brutis! He laughed his BUTT off and said NO! Well, Ever since then when people ask us what were naming him, we tell them BRUTIS! (The expressions on their faces are pricless!!!) and TRUST ME... We have gotten alot of crap for it, the crazy thing is people believe us!!.. REallY we lOvE him to much to really name him Brutis.. But, since we joke around with it all the time, I think he has aquired the nick name :P!!!!

I will be 29 weeks tomorrow and entering my 3rd trimester :)!!! He is the size of a butternut squash and a tad over 15 inches long from head to toe!!!!!

Cant believe how fast it has gone for us. Brent and I cant believe Dec is just around the corner!!! :)!!! And we feel so NOT prepared. But, well get there. Brutis loves to have his foot right up into my rib! UH.. OUWY!!! and he moves more and more, and the bigger he gets the more uncomfortable I get!!!!! Im getting used to sleepless nights, although I cant complain to much because I love feeling him move around..altho it freaks me out a little since his movements are BIGGER now, My belly button is starting to STRETCH. Wow!! Weird. HaHa! I feel his head move alot, since it feels like he is so low in my pelvic bone that I cringe everytime he turns his head!

Even though its going by so fast, we are enjoy the time Brent and I have together before our little Brutis comes!!!

WhOoPtY, AnNivErsArIes and SucH!!!!
