Maternity photos

Our friend Lyndsay Warner took some great maternity photos for us last Sunday. We really wanted to document this special time in our lives as we anticipate the arrival of our little girl. We think she did a great job capturing this moment in our lives. Here's our favorites...

Baby's Room

Here is the dresser that Wes so beautifully restored. First it belonged to his grandpa, then his dad, then him, and now it will belong to our little girl. The little rocking chair was one that my grandpa made for me on my first birthday. Wes and I reupholstered the cushins in fabric to match the nursery. The little teddy bear was Wes' favorite bear from childhood.

Lots of cute clothes are waiting to be worn by this little girl!

Basement: Before and After!

This was our basement when we moved in in 2007... concrete, two lights, 2 electrical outlets and ugly low hanging duct work.

The plan!Getting started... thanks Daniel for the tools!Framing begins!My dad helping with the project...Wes and Rick framing Wes loves working with power toolsThe site of our future built in desk and Wes' entertainment centerTa-da! The project is complete!!!

My laundry room. May not seem that exciting but I did laundry in complete darkness for the last two years with no storage. So I love this space!Our "new" couch ... a craigslist special! Our pretty blue accent wall

Our awesome built-in deskWes' entertainment center... he rewarded himself for all his hard work with a little electronic purchase. I'd say he earned it. :)

Thank you everyone who helped us make this basement finish a reality! We love our new space!!

We had a little girl's night for my mom's birthday on July 25th

On July 24th our second nephew, Kameron Wayne Kinser was born. What a cutie!!

The Baby's Room...

We're just getting started on the nursery ... we're still shopping for a rocking chair, we need to paint the walls, stain the dresser, hang the chandlier... so much to do - so little time!

Happy 3rd Anniversary to us!

We cannot believe just how quickly the last three years have gone by! To celebrate our anniversary Wes and I headed up to Beaver Creek for the weekend.

We stayed at the beautiful slope side Park Hyatt Resort.

I just loved all the beautiful flowers that were covering the resort and the Village. So pretty! (How come I can't get my garden to look like that?)

We walked around the Village area and checked out all the great shops and restaurants on Saturday afternoon. There were neat sculptures and water features all over the Village.

More pretty flowers - I love peonies!

The hotel's happy hour is a bit different than what you might expect... from 4-6pm they offer guests little boxes full of ingredients to make s'mores on the huge open fire pit. It was way too hot for me to sit by the fire so Wes was in charge of roasting the marshmallows for both of us. Yum!

Saturday night we got dressed up to go out to dinner. We ate at the Beaver Creek Chophouse and Wes had the BEST New York Strip steak I have ever tasted. Our waiter treated us to dessert (amazing bread pudding) on the house in celebration of our anniversary.

Sunday morning we had coffee out on the hotel terrace ... with this guy and his 3 friends.

Before checking out of the hotel on Sunday afternoon Wes and I indulged in a little Italian gelato - and let me tell you it was soooo yummy!!! Just what a pregnant lady needs, right?
