End of an era...
That's right...it's the end of an era!
So sad!
The truck is no more. Never to haul anything again. :(
I am sure that you all heard about the Toyota Tacoma Truck recall last year. Well, to make a long story short - in Tacomas made betweeen 1995 - 2000 the frame of the car may or may not be safe. Basically, the frame would rust completely away leaving the car undrivable.
The way that they checked to make sure YOUR truck was 'safe' to drive was that they hit the frame with a hammer (not really sure what kind of hammer). If the hammer put a whole in the frame the truck would be unsafe, if it didn't you were alright until next year.
Last year Dave took it in and it passed with flying colors. Yay! Dave was very happy as he REALLY did not want to lose his truck. He really loved it...he has even had it since college.
So Dave took the truck in for its annual frame check and this is what happened...
If you look close - you can see the large, circular whole covered with rust. That's right...it didnt pass! Dave was 'allowed' to drive the truck home to clean it out, etc. I was happy about that since I wanted to see the truck one last time.
RIP Truck....you will be missed!

Just ~another~ way to sleep!

Sitting Up!
Dont worry I took pictures to share...Enjoy!
And YES, I did lay her down before leaving the room! What kind of mama do you think I am?

Maternity Pictures
I was so excited to get maternity pictures done for this pregnancy! Since Brooklyn's pregnancy was SO stressful we never got around to it. Since Keena was here this weekend through Tuesday we decided to pack Brooklyn up and go get some pitures taken. I think that they turned out great....
Enjoy...
Not too much longer fellow bloggers....it is getting SO close!

The Biggest Pumpkin Ever!
That is what Brooklyn and I would like to grow! I would settle for a pumpkin that is larger than my hand so we will see...
When I took Brooklyn to the WVU Family Farm Day they were giving away pumpkin seeds for a Pumpkin Growing Contest that they were having. I thought that Brooklyn would have a good time playing with the dirt and it could be something the we (as a family) together.
The rules of the contest are that we have to take pictures of our pumpkin throughout its growing process. Here are the pictures that we have so far!
Enjoy...

Yard Sale Season....Yipee!
Well, it has FINALLY happened. Yard Sale season has started...and we are LOVING every Saturday of it! Dave and I are very proud to say that 95% of Brooklyn larger toys (any Step2 OR Little Tikes equipment) were either bought at yard sales OR given to us for free! The other 5% were presents either given at Christmas or Birthdays.
The fact alone that we can either sell the same things in several years for a portion of what we paid for it is really exciting. Heck, if our kids destroy the stuff we are only out $10 at most.
We love yard sales!
Anyway - here are some of our latest finds over the last couple of weeks.
Toddler Baby Stroller - $1.50
Ball Popper - $1.00
Little Tikes Drawing Table - $7.00
In addition to those super finds we have also gotten a bunch of clothes, letter & shape wooden puzzles, some board books.
Morgantown has the BEST yard sales!

Baby Shower - May 3rd, 2009
I had my first of two baby showers this yesterday evening. It was really low key since this is my third pregnancy (2nd baby). Shannon planned and threw it for me. We invited a bunch of people expecting most of them NOT to come. Well, we needed up with a huge crowd...I think like 17 people all together.
We had it at Panera Bread at dinnertime...So Yummy! We just ate, chatted and ate super yummy cake! Here are some pics - ENJOY!
My 31wks pic - Before I left!
The girls -
Me and the yummy cake!
All the pregnant people that were at the shower! LOL I swear that it is in the water here!
Me with the presents before I opened them.
We had a great time! I feel so blessed to even be having ONE shower let alone TWO!
Oh yeah - I registered for CD and got my first set of NB prefolds from GMD! They are already in the wash getting soft and cute! Yay!
Shannon made a baby pool and had everyone sign up! They had to guess when, what and how big the baby would be. It was really interesting to see what everyone thought.
There was a tie on boys vs. girls.
The dates ranged from June 27th to July 10th...the most popular was July 9th (3 days PAST my due date) LOL
The weight ranged from 7lbs. 10oz. to a whopping 8lbs. 15oz. (Who knows...Brooklyn was 7lbs 1oz at THREE weeks early and this baby is measuring 3 - 4 ahead ...I have another U/S on Friday for growth.
