Rose and Bates Families together for turkey day :)

Just got home from a lovely couple of days at mom and dads house with Matt's parents as well! We all gorged ourselves to the point of mass uncomfort, but once a year it's a must!
Dad got a ping pong table due to Casey's persistant requests, so all the men were out competing in the garage a good majority of the day. Dan and Erin, our good friends from Kansas who now live in Marysville we able to join us for turkey day. Played some board games while dad consistantly kept losing and blaming it on everyone else! It made for many laughs at his expense! There was a certain episode with a chair and pencil that no one would understand but my goodness, it was hysterical! sorry dad!

Good ol Black Friday! we left fairly early to check out a Whidbey Furniture in Oak Harbor to see if they had the glider that Matt and I had our eye one. They didn't have it but....she quoted us a price $250.00 less than what we had been quoted at another store! we got very excited so needless to say...we have a new glider!!! should be here mid January :) :) we are happy!

So now we are home dogs and in-laws are taking naps, Matts playing video games, and I am bored....what to do....here is a pic of the glider but we got it with different fabric :)

Pics of the bedding






Baby Girls Bedding BOUGHT!!


Today I finally decided to bite the bullet and buy the "expensive" bedding for this tiny little girl that will be here soon. It's really cute and very neutral..ie. no PINK! It was the only one that Matt and I could truly decide on so i figured it was worth the wallet trauma :)

Subtle colors of lemon chiffon, chocolate and beige highlight the royal floral champagne and French blue patterns

1st Blog

So here we are...I have been told by many people that a "blog" is the way to go! I guess I'll just begin at the beginning....Matt and I have been together for almost 8 yrs, married for almost 4, we have 2 crazy dogs and a little baby girl on the way due March 2010. I think that gets everyone up to speed.

Today was my 20.5 wk appointment and Mama Bates got to go hear the heartbeat :) Still not showing too much, but gained 10 lbs! yuck! No movement yet but that is all due to how baby girl is positioned in my belly.

Guess thats it for now! pretty eventful huh??
