Summer fun...

I know it's been almost two months since my last post, but there hasn't been much to talk about until now! First off, here I am at 26 weeks...

Sorry, I know they're always in the work bathroom, but that's the only time I remember! Everything is coming along nicely.. although the doc tells me Baby's measuring almost 2 weeks ahead, so... could be huge. I guess I should have expected that because of the size of you-know-who....

Some of the fun things we did this summer:

We went to our friends', Jordan and Amy's wedding, which was beautiful! It was really fun to head up to Beaverlodge (where Steve's from) and get to really see where he grew up. It was a fun, relaxing week.

My sister and I also went to Edmonton to see Maroon 5 and Train in concert for her 19th birthday.Have to say, it was pretty fun, even though the main attraction didn't come onstage until 10 pm... I'm feeling pretty old, because I could barely stay awake.. but it was worth it to see those moves like Jagger!!

Lastly, Steve and I just came back from camping near Lake Louise. It was pretty much the last time we'll go away on our own before the baby comes! Pretty much the last hurrah of freedom..

We've decided to stay here the house with Julee. It just wouldn't sell, so we worked it out to stay and soon we'll be taking over the main floor! I think it'll be good for everyone.

I only have a couple more months at work, which I'm really excited about since work is becoming a nuisance.. :)

Steve just came back from a big bowhunting trip in Beaverlodge last week. No pictures, and he didn't get anything, but that's ok. He had fun..

He is also out on the street with his partner now. No more training! He seems to get along really well with the guy and he's still loving his job..

That's about all we've got. I think this blog will become a little more interesting once I have something a little more interesting to write about... the adventures of child-rearing, perhaps??

Love, Haley + Steven

Baby on the way, etc.

Ok, so I realize it's been almost a year since my last post, but I've decided that now that we have a baby on the way, I am going to be more diligent in updating this blog! I've added a few pics of the baby at 18 weeks 5 days. We don't know what the sex is, and we don't want to know.. well, at least not until the baby's born. :)

Here I am at 19 weeks.. yes, I am huge (sorry it's in the work bathroom, but that's about the only time I remember to take pictures). I don't know if this is the normal size for 19 weeks, but I FEEL like I look like I'm 6 months... but, having never been pregnant before, I don't know for sure..

Not too much is new with us. Steven will be out of his probationary period with the police in about two weeks, and then he'll be assigned to a partner, and he'll be a full-fledged police officer. I'm very proud. :) Here are a few photos of his graduation from the academy in April.

Also, we are getting ready to watch a very exciting movie (see link below). My little brother, Drew, is going to be in a movie! It's on NBC on August 6th at 8/7 central, and it's called "Who is Simon Miller?". Everyone watch, because if it gets high enough ratings, they might turn it into a series, which would be amazing!

We also gained another nephew almost two months ago. His name is Cooper. Here he is with his big brother, Ezra. They are Steve's sister, Michelle's boys, and they are pretty much adorable. :)

We're hoping to sell my mother-in-law's house this summer so that Steve and I can get our own place, but so far we've had no offers. So, I'm starting to come to terms with the fact that we might have to stay through the winter. We'll see what happens!

Well, that is all for now. I'll post some more pics as the baby gets bigger. Love you all and miss you!

Love, Haley + Steven (and Baby)
