On Saturday Corey framed in some walls in Becky's basement.




























This is kind of a random picture, but I thought it was kind of funny. My coworkers thought it would be funny to spell my name out on my office floor with carpet cleaner- the only problem is, they ran out of the cleaner, so my name is still partially visible (not as obvious as in the picture, though).

We Finally Got Some Snow!

Last weekend we got our first big snowfall of the year (pretty pathetic being it is the end of February!). We got about 12 inches, with more coming this Wednesday-Friday. Corey and Cody rode their snowmobiles for a little while on Sunday afternoon. Corey wanted me to take some pictures just to prove to Jeremy that he gets to have fun too! :)

My week so far...

On Monday night Megan and Anna came over for a little while (along with Zach, Kellie, and Susannah). Anna even got to be the first to test out our new crib.



Today was my co-worker Beth's last day at the credit union (she is the one in the blue shirt), so we all went out to Bennigan's after work. I have worked with her for more than a year and a half, so it is strange to think we won't be working together anymore. I was glad to have something to do though, because Corey is on a snowmobile trip in Michigan right now, so it is way too lonely at home! :)

Eight Weeks to Go! (hopefully)

Only eight weeks until my due date, March 27! I can't believe we have less than 2 months to go. We got our crib last weekend, and just finished putting it together tonight. Now we are waiting for our dresser and bedding to come in. Phil painted the baby room when they were home for Christmas, and it looks really good! It is hard to tell in these pictures, but the walls are light green. I figured I should get a belly shot too, since I haven't been too good about those so far!

New Year's Eve at Grandma's House

More Christmas Pictures

Corey gave mom a special present- I think he got the reaction he was hoping for. :)

Christmas Eve at Eric's and Megan's

Macy's Christmas Display

While Jeremy and Jo and Phil and Holly were here, we went to the Macy's Christmas display in downtown Minneapolis. They did Mary Poppins this year. It was an extremely long wait (I posted a picture of us standing in line)- I think we were in line for about an hour and a half. The display itself only took about 10 minutes to go through, so it was a little bit disappointing, but we still had a good time.

The Annual Hollister Dice Game

On Saturday night we went to Corey's parents house for the annual dice game party. We had lots of fun, and ended up with a lot of stuff.




Corey got a Lego Ferrari- he started putting it together right away.

Thanksgiving

We got to spend Thanksgiving weekend in Ohio with the whole family (except for Megan, Eric, and Anna- we missed them!). It is always fun when we all can get together because it doesn't happen very often.

On Saturday night Jeremy got a fire going and we made s'mores.


Noelle seems to really like Corey a lot- she was always wanting to sit on his lap!


Here is Holly makin' some Christmas cookies.


Noelle was great with Ryan (she called him "baby"). Ryan loved to sit and watch the train go around the Christmas tree!

It's a Girl!

I'm sure most of you already know this, but Corey and I found out a couple of weeks ago that we are having a baby girl (of course, there is always the possibility of a surprise on delivery day, but we are pretty confident that she is a she :) ). So now that we know, we are getting excited to start decorating her room. We are still not totally sure on a name, but we have a couple of possibilities in mind. If anyone comes across a super cute name, tell me, 'cuz I am still looking!

I Finally Won!!

Monica finally let me buy a truck! Now all I have to do is give her a backrub every day! :)

The Great Minnesota Fair!!

Last Sunday Becky, Megan, Anna, Corey and I went to the Minnesota State Fair.


This is Corey wishing really hard!


As you can tell, the weather wasn't too great.
