Well this weekend was a blast!!! Well ok not really. It is kind of a bummer when you go down to visit your family and 90 percent of the time not even half of them are there. But oh well we still got to see the movie that we wanted to see. It kind of sucked, my parents were suppose to put together this big bar b que while we were down and a total of two people came and they left by like 7 and my siblings both left that night about the same time. Oh and my parents are the kind of people that can not stand to sit at home and relax for more than like ten mins by 8 or 9 they were gone too. So yes that is right Travis me and little Travis were left at their house all alone for about an hour. But oh well. The little time that they had with little Travis I think they enjoyed. My family drive me and Travis up the wall and they wonder why we don't go and visit them very much. When we were leaving their huse this morning to come back home I told them that we would see them around Christmas and my dad looked at me like I ran over his dog and then when I told him that we don't have thanksgiving off he almost cried. Travis keeps telling me that my parents will learn just like your parents learned that when the kids get older and the grandkids come they will not be able to celebrate holidays on the actual days very often. Hopefully it won't take too long for my parents to learn I mean in about 9 months they will only have one minor living in their house. But oh well whatever happens happens right? But other than that Travis is doing great. Travis had a little bit of a hard time warming up to both sides of the family because Travis doesn't get to see many people other than mom and dad. We get to carve pumpkins the night before halloween and yes we got little Travis his own pumpkin I am so excited to see him have fun :). We are so happy though because although it is nice to visit family it will be nice to be at our house for the next couple weeks. Little Travis seemed to enjoy seeing both sets of grandparents though so it was worth it. Well until next week and yes next week I will have Travis in his costume. :)

Hey so we went down to grandpa and grandma miller's house this weekend for a little get together with grandma's family. It was so cute seeing linkin and Travis together although Linkin could not sit still long enough to interact a whole lot with Travis. Travis is very content just to sit in one spot and play with his toys for a while whereas Linkin can't sit still for longer than maybe ten seconds. lol. Travis and Linkin are really close to the same height now I think that Linkin is just a little bit taller but not by much, but Travis still has him on weight. Travis is still at least a pound heavier. We will find out in about 3 weeks just how big he is Travis has his 9 month checkup on the 5th of November. It was so cute seeing Travis interact with the other kids though. Travis doesn't get to see many people other than Travis and I so he had a little bit of a hard time warming up to grandma Karrie and he had an even harder time warming up to grandpa Kerry. Travis still was a little nervous towards him the night before we left. But Travis had no problem interacting with the other kids. It is so cool how Travis is not near as intimidated about kids than he is towards adults.

Next weekend we will be going down (or should I say over) to my parents house and that should be fun and interesting...... My sister next in line to me will see Travis for the first time since he has been born. That is right Travis is almost 9 months old and my sister still has not seen him. But for good reason.

It was so nice because this was the first time that we have been out of time since we have bought the house and it was so nice knowing driving home that we were going home to a brand new house that is 5 times bigger than our old apartment. :)

Well I better go..... until next week.

P.S. that little kid leaning on the couch in the picture is Thomas (Collin and Sam's son)

Wow how time flies. I am sorry that I suck and did not post a blog last sunday but i figured that the post about my house was good enough lol.

Anyway so Travis can stand himself up on everything now. He gets so excited and tries to walk and falls down but he laughs and it is so cute. Travis is going to be a cute little monkey for Halloween this year (thank you aunt Aubrey and uncle James for the costume). These last couple weeks have been a little tough for our family. Travis's work started getting rumors that the company that he works with may not be there by the end of the year. But no fret the company that was rumored to get all their work (MatBetts) said that he does not have the trucks or the man power right now for all that work but he said that that could change in as little as 6 months so we don't know yet. Travis will always have a job because the boss of MatBetts is good friends with Travis's pumper so we are not so worried about him not having a job as we are about insurance. So considering the circumstances Travis and I are holding off on getting pregnant until after tax season. Because come tax season we are going to be paying off a couple things so it will free us up 400 dollars a month and then we can put that aside for the next baby. Well that is about all I have to say this week. Until next sunday. Have a great week!!!!! We know we will!

Our house

My favorite part of the kitchen. After hand washing dishes for three years man you get so excited for something as simple as a dishwasher. O and it took Travis about three days to finally get this thing installed. :)

Our fridge.

Travis was so excited because (I am not sure if you can tell in this picture) he got a gas stove.

Our dining room.

Travis's room.

The spare bathroom. When Kerry and Karrie came to visit they brought some bathroom towels and the towels matched perfectly with our shower curtain it was so cool.

Our closet.

Our bathroom and yes there are two sinks. I love the two sinks but Travis wants to take one out and make a shower instead.

Our bedroom. When we got all the furniture into our bedroom the first thing Travis said was "Our bed looks so small in here." lol. In our apartment the bed and the chest of drawers barely fit in our room.

Our bedroom.

This is our living room and I didn't realize Travis was in the picture until I downloaded it to the computer

More of our living room.

That is downstairs where we have a full incomplete basement. I am so excited to finish it.

This is our spare bedroom. Well spare for now till our family grows a little more. :)

The other half of our spare bedroom.

Something new

This is hilarious!!!! Let me know if it works.
