Halloween Party

Fun Fall Pictures

We love Fall! The colors, perfect weather, sports, Halloween, everything. We went to the pumpkin patch and took some fun pictures of chads siblings and their families.

Baby Update

It has been a little while since I have posted anything on here, sorry I just seem to forget about it. Brittany is doing really well with only about 11 weeks to go, pretty exciting. As surprising as it may sound, she actually really enjoys being pregnant. She loves the connection she has with the baby and being able to feel her all the time. Besides needing some iron tablets, both Britt and the baby are healthy. We haven't decided on a name yet, but there are some that we both like, so we'll have to see when she is born what name fits her best.

We had a really good summer and I'll try to do some catch up here in a little bit.

The Baby's Heartbeat!

I just had a very exciting moment in my life this week. I heard the heartbeat of my first child. We went to the doctor's on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 at 6:15pm and met with our doctor, Doctor Cox. We were a little nervous about the doctor because Britt and I hardly ever go to the doctor and neither of us have a physician or anything so we really didn't know who to go to. My sister April suggested this doctor because she has worked with her at the clinic before. We really like her. She is very personable, but also very professional. Brittany is about 11 weeks and the doctor kept warning us that even though you can usually hear the heartbeat between 10 and 12 weeks, we might not hear a heartbeat and not to freak out. Then when she was about to listen to it, she said it could take a few minutes to hear it, but sure enough about 30 seconds after she started we heard the baby's heartbeat. It was so exciting and it made everything so real. We are going to be parents! She gave us a due date of December 9, 2009.

American Idol

Does anyone else think the judges were off tonight? I didn't think it was Scott's or Danny's best performance but they said it was. Also, I loved Matt's performance and thought it was awesome. He sang it very well and added his own spin to it. It's weird because the judges have been telling the contestants that they are seeming like "wanna-be's," but to me it seems like they are trying to be themselves and what they like to sing, but the judges are wanting them to be somebody else. They talk about singing songs that they can make marketable and make them into stars, but they don't decide, we do. Usually I think Simon is pretty right on most of the time, but obviously there are times when I don't agree with him. Tonight was one of those nights. I don't know, I could be wrong, but that's just the way I felt tonight. What do you think?

P.S. My new favorite thing is when they show Simon's face while Paula is talking and the look on his face is classic. It's hilarious, he looks at her like she is saying the stupidest thing in the world, which is usually right on.

And the Winner Is...

So Michelle won the Biggest Loser this season. She worked really hard to become the last standing member of the black team and pulled it off. My favorite part of the show was when Allison said that the vote between Heba and Ed was a landslide in Ed's favor. I knew this was going to happen and I voted for Ed several times myself. She won the at home money of $100,000, but the funny thing is that if she had been voted back on to compete for the finale, she would have won it all. All I can say is what you do on the show comes back to bite you in the butt. She was a pain for a good portion of the show. Granted Vicky overtook the throne of Miss Evil, but Heba did her share. Vicky tried to play the game, but in the end it did her no good. Heba was much better when her husband was at the ranch with her. I actually really liked Ed. He seemed like a great guy and a hard worker. I would have had no problem with him winning the whole thing, but Michelle worked harder.

My disappointment came in the fact that Heba beat Amy and Phil in the at home contest. They both looked incredible and I thought for sure they would win it. Heba looked really good too. I just did not want Heba to win because of how nasty she was to Phil at the ranch. It would have been sweet justice for Phil or Amy to have won to stick it to Heba. If that would have happened I would have been completely satisfied with this season's outcome.
