Long awaited post.......sorry for the delays!!

I am sure everyone is wondering...........how are we doing?
Yes, we are in Denver. We've been officially in our house for one month and getting somewhat settled. It's gone by so fast. We have had lots of company already, Joel's grandma Mary, his parents, my parents and brother. Brayden is adjusting very well to his new digs. He's in a big boy bed now, that's going OK. Not so much fun for Mom and Dad since he can get out himself, open the door, and come and bug us. We'll get there. Lots of new things for him. And for those of you who don't know, Brayden's going to have a little Sister! We double checked and she is a girl. I am at 27 weeks already! Time has sure flown by!!

Here are some pictures from the last two months.

Are we really moving??

The Moving Crew

The Hogness family @ Meagan and Brent's wedding, Minot ND.

Is it time for cake yet?

Congratulations Meagan and Brent!!

Going to check cows with my Great Grandpa Downs and Grandpa Tom

Happy Mothers' Day MOM! (AND TO ALL MY GRANDMA's OUT THERE!!)

Helping with the move...

Hey, I remember this thing!

"helping" Dad move things into the POD

Gotta have a Cheesy Puff break!

I was helping a little too much, 1st trip to the emergency room. I got in a fight with the cabinet pulls. No stitches needed, just glue me up Dr!

With all that work, I needed a little computer break!

Sorry for the back log of pictures and no updates lately....

We've been on a roller coaster ride the last month. First Our
really big news is that Brayden's going to be a big brother! Our due
date is November 17th, exactly 2yrs and a month apart! The thing about
morning sickness, HA, how about all day sickness!! This pregnancy is by far
total opposite of Brayden. I am so thankful that Brayden had been such a good
boy helping his mom out. I am just over 13 weeks now and the morning sickness has subsided, for the most part. YAH!!
Secondly, we are putting our house on the market today and moving to Denver, CO!
Joel's accepted a position at AthenaInvest, INC. and will be heading up the Technology side. It's a great opportunity for him as well as our family. Joel's currently down in Denver as of last week and we miss him a lot!! Brayden's been Mommy's helper getting the house ready. Let me tell you, it's a lot of work getting your house ready to sell!

We'll miss all of our family and friends in ND and MN but we will not be that far away. Visitors welcome! Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we make this new chapter in our lives!

Here are some pictures from the last month. Sorry the update has taken so long!

Looks like I could get in to trouble if I go this way....

Last Day of ECFE

My little girlfriend, Ella

I found this Harley phone and thought I could ride it...

Sad Day for Daddy

Daddy's first out of college purchase was a '99 Harley Davidson Fatboy and Friday he let her go. It was a sad day for Dad. He's trading in his toy for baby toys.
Some day I will have myself a Harley too!
Mommy and Kitty, I love you guys!

Breakfast with the Easter Bunny @ Macy's

This morning we had breakfast downtown at Macy's with the Easter Bunny. Brayden thought the Easter Bunny was great, from a distance. He had a lot of fun!

Getting my face painted

Are you sure I look Cute??


Alright, Bunny, keep your distance......

Dancing away with all the kids!

Me and Dad

More Pictures...

Mommy's slacking, again!

Sorry we've been a little slow on getting the pictures updated. Here are some from the last month. Brayden is 17 months (almost 18) already and full of the dickens. Wait, I sound like my grandparents...... anyways, he's full of fun and energy. He definatly keeps us on our toes!
