Well Since everyone else posted a blog this weekend

Just trying to kill some time before the big Lost finale and I noticed that all the Jansen/Syers decided to post their weekend life on their blog. And since I pretty much do everything the Jansen/Syers Families do I will post what we did this weekend.

Here's what we did this weekend.

1. Went to America's on friday and got the Denver Hot wings.
2. Then went to Iron Man 2 with Kim and Her sister. (Nothing like sitting in an uncomfortable position for 2 hours to kick start labor)
3. Got up and because Kim won't do her Mary Katherine Lunges I convinced her to do some landscaping with me. (Making kim plant is just as good as squats I guess)
4. Went to Church Prayed that baby would come. Didn't work
5. Mowed the lawn, weeded, put some seed down.
6. Kim went shopping with her mom to get out of the house. Saw lots of cool sales.
7. Anticipating LOST series finale.

Here is What we Didn't do this weekend.

1.HAVE A BABY!!! COME ON!! I'm about to resort to slipping some Castor Oil into Kim's prenatals. ha ha ha

Any way Enjoy the picture of our newly lanscaped bed. One bed down 2 to go.

We have the Fever!!!

So any day now. Any moment. Any Minute. Any Second Kim and I are expecting the birth of our first child. What an amazing feeling. There are feelings of nerves, excitement, fear, joy, and love. We have been so blessed through this entire process and now we are both ready for this new chapter in our lives.

We have been so fortunate to have a new niece in that time frame as well as my sister gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Lia Emily Reitsema. Here is our first vist to their house to see and hold the precious little angel.

Love these women!

Let's Play a Game!

Ok Everyone needs to look at the picture. This is our disasterous living room after Kim's last Baby Shower. I think we have everything but I could be wrong. So the Game is to review the picture and tell us what else Kim and I need before baby comes. First one to name some things that we need that we don't already have wins!!! Good Luck

The joy's of Winning is Crushed by the Losing

So Kim and I ventured to Vegas this last weekend. Remember the hugh that I was on after winning my Bracket. Well that was quickly dashed the minute we walked into the New york New York. My first $20 gone. That stupid slot, it said on the slot that it was Party America although I wasn't having a party by just giving the machine $20.

We later walked up the Strip (which is an incredibly long walk) the scale in Vegas is totally different from how I pictured it. Kim did great by walking about 34 miles the entire weekend but she is definitely a trooper. I ended up winning some on the first day because the Rockies won on opening day and we played roulette and ended up doubling my money at the Casino Royale.

Other than buying fake club tickets, Walking out of a restaurant after looking at the menu prices, all the smoke, and the naughty pictures all over the place...Vegas is actually a pretty cool place. It's an experience and I'm glad we took the experience. Oh and I made all my money back on the alst day on the Rockies and betting against the Lakers. LOVE IT. Now I just need the Broncos to win my 35:1 bet and I'll be what Vegas calls a WHALE.
Below are a couple of pictures of the memories and being with all our best friends was definitely a treat for us to have before baby comes.
