30's all around

So a couple weeks ago I turned 30 years old. Today our baby is 30 weeks. Sure there is a huge discrepancy there but hey I wouldn't want it any other way. How did we celebrate this weekend you ask? Well we spent some more time getting the nursery ready. Yesterday we bought a new ceiling fan and some curtains. (Yep you can tell I'm being girl-ified when curtains are the exciting part of my weekend)

Anyway check out the new pictures of my baby and my babe at 30 weeks.

And Now from Denver Colorado standing 5' 7" .........

#30 ... Wearing the depends t-shirt........ ERNIE......... KRAUTH!!!!!

Thats right folks, That is how I was introduced at my surprise party on Sunday. Ok Not really but Kim totally surprised me by throwing me a 30 year old 3 on 3 tourney.

I Had NO idea. Turns out Mark was in on the planning and got me to the High School where there was about 30 people that I dearly love waiting to scare the crap out of me. Actually now that its over I give Kim a lot of credit. She says that she isn't a party planner but I have to tell you it was one of the best Birthday Parties ever.

What Sunday made me realize (Other than my friends are great and my wife is greater) is that I now know why God didn't make me tall. I'm just no good at basketball. I'll stick with cheering on the Nuggets and Blue Devils, and of course the Crusaders until I'm old. Oh Wait I might be Old already Just check out the pictures below.


THE SHOCK AND SUPRISE!!!


THE REALIZATION AND MARCH MADNESS BRACKET


THE PREGOS! AND ME WITH CAKE.

Sunday's Closing Ceremonies

Looking back at the Olympics and all the athletes that competed really inspired Mark and I to capture our own "Golden" moments on the slopes.

Shawn White and Bode Miller have nothing on us.
The proof is in the videos below.

Engineering of the Greatest Kind

Forget all the Chinese Engineers and all the Engineers that build amazing structures all over the world. I'm convinced that the greatest engineers work for Graco baby accessories.

Last night Kim and I had our first baby shower and the Highlands Ranch staff was so good to us. They got us our play swing and our pack and play. Yes I know.... They are so generous!!!

So Kim and I figured it would be a 5 minute ordeal to put these things together but I have to tell you that between the 1st grade drawings of the instructions, the mislabeled pieces, and all the plastic fasteners we finally got the swing together in a record time of 49 minutes. (Chalk one up for me being dumber than a newborn child. I would suck at that 5th grader gameshow.)

Luckily the Pack and Play is the best single invention ever. Again credit to the Graco Engineers. Heck it only took us 10 minutes to get this together. Probably because there is no assembly required. You just snap and push and BAM You have a Pack and Play (Sorry for the horrible Emeril impression there) Hopefully the Birth is as easy as a snap and push. HA HA HA (see evidence below)

Tips to Having a NORMAL Delivery

So as Kim and I start planning for BK (Baby Krauth) We decided that it would probably be a good idea to get a tour of the Hospital where we were going to be delivering. I'm not sure if the tour was helpful or if it freaked me out even more about the whole process.

But no need to worry. Our tour guide told everyone on the tour that "We would all have Very Normal Deliveries." She only said it about 47 times (Probably not to freak anyone out)

We also went with Lauren and Josh so that If Josh passes out I can show his family where to go. And vis versa. ha ha

Here is a video of our Tour at Swedish!
