Time to update everyone and change the tone.
So, Its a girl. We couldn't be more thrilled to welcome a cute lil' lady into our home in February. We are about 99.9% positive about her name. Brooklyn Rae Weatherspoon. Ross loves it, I like it. Pregnancy has been going MUCH better since week 15ish. Brooklyn is an INCREDIBLY active little gal. She beats up my stomach on a regular basis, jumps on my bladder, kicks right into my hip bone regularly, and all of the other lovely things that a little lady should NOT do. We'll have to work on the attitude a bit after birth, eh? ;)
Ross is staying busy with online classes, work, and helping me clear the 2nd bedroom out and organize it for the baby. I'm going to school, and working about 10 hrs a week watching the same 2 cute little girls that I was nannying for before. We're staying busy, but keeping our heads above water. Thankfully.
Okay, so I realize that I have deprived everyone of pictures for quite a while and should probably fix that.
Here goes.
Ross's 1st EVER Jiu Jitsu Tournament- 1st Place Men's Intermediate
I'm super proud of my hubby. He's pretty studly and wonderful indeed.
The boys and their hawks... studly, eh?
Yes, That's Ross looking like he's about to punch the guy...
Last picture I got of his score in the final fight... I believe it ended up being 21-0 though.

Emily trying to look tough like the boys. Failing at looking tough, succeding at looking cute.
One of the very few pictures that I took from my family's camping trip in the NC Mountains. We explored around Pisgah National Forest, saw 5 waterfalls, the men+Becca went down sliding rock, 3 hr canoe/kayak trip down a river (I forgot the name of the river), made dutch oven dinners and desserts, roasted marshmallows for s'mores, and enjoyed each other's company. The better, and more thorough pictures are on my sister Becca's facebook page.
One of the many cute bows I've made for Brooklyn thus far. She also has an abundance of post-summer clearance dresses and other cute outfits in her closet. She's going to be one well-dressed little lady.
Last but not least, we flew out to visit Ross's parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew for 5 days! It was a blast. Ross drove me around Baker City to show me all of his childhood sites, we went apple and peach picking in an orchard, and we went to Wallowa Lake with everyone for a night. All in all, it was a great trip.

The lovebirds.
A short (yet slippery and steep) hike we took to see the view.
Thanks for a great trip!
Yea! You did it! What a great update. I LOVE the name you have picked out for the little tiny. She will be darling for sure. Only a few weeks between her and baby Max. Hopefully those two and Rosie girl will be pals. Thanks for updating...finally!
