Fun times!!

Okay so I am soo lame and brought my camera but didn't take any pictures of either of these events!! sad huh!

But this is was fun!

There wasn't a lot to do so I really looked forward to the end of the week. On Saturday day Jessica Johnson threw me and 4 other girls a baby shower. It was really fun! Everyone brought hand-me-down clothes from thier previous kids! Which is totally awesome because we got a TON of clothes! Thanks girls!!

Then that night Lance and I went on a group date with a few other couples that do the date night thing. We went and played miniature golf. I acutally didn't pay to golf because it isn't really my thing... I just get really bore really fast. BUT it worked out great because our friends Andy and Amy Evans went and Amy got bored too and she was busy taking care of thier little angel Ava. So I actually got to hit a few balls and it turned out to be pretty fun. Thanks for the great idea Carrie and Troy!!

20 weeks

We are all dressed up for a night on the town. Lance's school holds a "formal" dance once a year for all the students. It was pretty fun to see everyone and meet some of Lance's classmates. Next year though we wont go out to dinner so late and maybe actually get to dance before we have to leave to pick Devy up from the babysitters.



















This is me Sunday night in the PJs and remembered I hadn't taken a 20 weeks photo yet... sorry for the sweats. But definitely not sorry for the cute little face on the bottom right hand corner. She is turning into a little cheeseball. LOVE HER!!

It's a BOY!!!!

We had our ultrasound yesterday and found out that we are having a baby boy! We even got to see him in 4D and he SERIOUSLY already looks like Lance!!! I am sooooooo excited!! He is also a lot less mobile than Devy was. He doesn't have to need to kick back at me when I push on his little space he has, but I am so so so soooo much bigger (showing wise) with him than I was with the Devers. We are ecstatic that we are having a baby boy. I have to admit I am a little nervous but I think I will be a good mom to a boy right? I have never really experienced little boys or living with them since I have been raised around women my whole life... I am excited to learn though.

Once I can figure it out I will put up a couple of pictures of our little one's ultrasound. Right now we are leaning towards Lucas Alfred Nethercott. I really like Jaken Alfred too but what can you do when your husband doesn't like it... Beg and hope I guess... I still have 4 months to convince him it is a good name.

Change

So I decided that I needed a change in my life. Maybe it was because I am getting bigger and my blond highlights roots were now 6 inches... and I didn't want to pay the money to get them touched up... yes I am a cheepwad... anywho

So what did I do? Well I went to Walmart bought a box of dye for 2 bucks and had my friend Jessica dye my hair. It actually turned out WAY darker than this. This is after 3 washes. But at first my hair was almost BLACK!! I was a little scared. I am starting to like the lighter color though so it was a good choice.








































Then a few days later I was not feeling too good about the hair because it was STILL VERY unhealthy because, after an enlightening conversation with the lovely sister Leslie, I hadn't cut my hair since I was 5 months pregnant with DEVY!! That is almost TWO YEARS!! I couldn't believe it. So Les convinced me, somehow, that it would be this GREAT idea to get those really cute trendy bangs "all the cool girls have" lol... I don't know why I let her talk me into them... Oh wait yeah I do... It's because she is a fashion guru and I should always listen to her! DUH! lol.

So, I made an appointment... all in all I got a total of 3 inches cut off and new bangs. At first I didn't know what to think about them... I felt like a 5 year old with a new-school-year hair cut. But after a couple of days I think I have finally accepted them into my face family and they are starting to grow on me. A lot of people have seen me and not recognized me or they have (for a split second) wondered to Lance's new girlfriend was lol...

It has also helped that everyone I see (the girls anyway) have told me that they LOVE me new bangs and that they are way cute. So I think I will give them a couple more days and if I still like them I guess they wont be banished to a hair clip on top of my head.




















Right after I got home from the new hair cut. I didn't know if I liked it yet... At this moment it was a love/hate relationship every other time I looked at them in the mirror
















This is me trying to be sexy when I sent a pic to my sister to show her my new look... Just look at the bangs...

Devy 18 months

Our sweet little cheeseball


































Supposed nap with Daddy















SHE FEEDS HERSELF!!!!!! I cannot tell you how amazing this is! I am finally able to walk away and she will still be able to eat!! I do have to keep a close eye on her though because we have had a couple spilled bowls of cereal because Devy thought it would be fun to see if the cereal stayed in the bowl when she turned it upside-down















Group date night. Devy and her friends. Katelyn, Kylie, Shaylee, and Camille. yes they are twins and no Devy does not have a twin... sad. lol Just kidding. It is funny though. We actually have recently added two boys to the mix so Friday nights are full of fun



















Sportin the backwards hat this week. For some reason this was her favorite toy of the week. Otherwise she HATES things being on her head




















She evidently decided that this was the best way to get close to daddy




















Devy "reading" her library book (usually it consists of looking at the pictures and making animal sounds... VERY cute to watch)

Lance's Elaborate Birthday...

Sorry to say Lance had a really lame 26th this year. His birthday was on a Sunday I believe and he of course had a test the next day... So I actually didn't get to spend any time with him at all. He also had already gotten his present for himself like a month ago so I had nothing to wrap up for him... yeah I am lame.

Anyway, I wasn't feeling too good this week since I was trying to get over a really really really bad cold so instead of making him a cake I went to the store and bought angel food cake, strawberries, and whipping cream. Happy birthday babe! Some day we will look back on our birthdays throughout these years and just laugh and say "those were the good times" I love you Lance.

Pregnancy

So I am feeling pretty good now and I am finally gaining weight. Life isn't busy at all. Devy and I usually hang out, run errands, and clean house. Devy is the best baby ever and she is so much fun.
