::Weekend Update::

Is anyone else wondering where the time/year went?!! It is already Thanksgiving week and I still can't believe time has flown so fast! "Tis the Season..." I love it!

I'm so hoping nobody reading this is a memeber of PETA due to the fact that I come from a hunting family, married into a hunting family, and happen to hunt myself...so don't judge me :) Its all I know! We go to the ranch EVERY weekend and this past weekend I decided I wanted to shoot a deer. ( a very random statement on my part)...I have tried so hard while being preggers not to be one of those "I can't do this, I can't do that....just because I'm pregnant and its a good excuse" type of person! So I wanted to shoot a deer just to say I did at 7 months preggers. Blake and I had been hunting this one management deer for a few weeks that needed to be taken off the ranch. And on Friday night...here he came. After one perfect shot :) and a blood trail...there he was. (no, I did not hunt in this outfit, I put it on when we came back to get comfy...you love it)

Enough of proving I'm really a country, redneck...and lets get to our belly photoshoot!! Last week Blake and I had pictures made with my belly and of my belly. We had them taken in my parent's backyard at the house I grew up which made it very special. I will post the website once they are up, but my mom took a few over the photographer's shoulder...so here is a peek

The nursery is almost finished!!!! I can happily say we are over Half way done and I couldn't be more excited. With the help of my mother-in-law and my fantastic husband who can make anything...my visions have come to life! It is exactly what I had imagined and more! A few more details need to be finished...something on the window, rocking chair, super cute storage boxes, fake tree etc...Take a look

WOW!

Yesterday was my Family and a few friends baby shower. Little did I know EVERYONE would show up and some! I tried to get around the house to talk to everyone and chit chat a bit, but little did I know I would be opening presents for over 1.5 hours!! WOW! But don't worry I did get to eat a piece of cake after everyone had gone :) Oh my goodness...I'm feeling overwhelmed(in a good way) and extremely blessed! It was so perfect and such a great success! Who knew baby stuff could be so fun! If you want to see pictures click on this link http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2068142&l=495f0&id=54600247 I posted only 37 out of 150 pictures! So you can have a taste of the fun that was had :)

WOW we are 3/4 of the way done and its all starting to set in. I'm feeling great though and forget I'm pregnant often....that is until I pass a mirror! HA! I have had a few memory issues ever since becoming pregnant. Meaning...I forget things easy, do goofy things that I would normally not do etc... For example, I was unloading the dishwasher the other day and put the cups in the refrigerator! WHAT?! Blake and I were on our way to eat and his seatbelt warning beeps came on in his car and I said "Blake, put your bathing suit on." Ya I know...hillarious! But there is hope people! My mother was watching the infamous Dr. Oz from Oprah and he was talking about women who are pregnant. He said that a pregnant woman's brain shrinks 7% due to the fat that the baby sucks from their brain! So there you go, I'm not going into early Alzheimers and I'm not crazy! He did also say that the brain does stretch back!

The greatest time of year is upon us! It is my favorite time from Thanksgiving day until New Years day. The decorations, the weather, the smells, the friendly people, being with family! I LOVE it!

Have a great week everyone!

::Going to the Chapel::

Over the weekend my sweet brother-in-law proposed to his precious girlfriend Lanna!!! YAY for a new Kreck in the family! It couldn't have been a more perfect proposal and she was SHOCKED to say the least. It happened out at the Ranch in Breckenridge, Tx. We were joined with loads of friends and family and it looked like a scene from "The Bachelor" with candles, aisle runner, column, christmas lights etc...See for yourself...The Kreck boys covered their bases when it comes to their favorite places to be..Blake asked me to marry him at the Lake house (our home away from home in the spring/summer) and Jake asked Lanna at the Ranch (our home away from home in the fall/winter). Here's a flash back to our proposal :)

Thank you Kreck's for loving Lanna and I as your very own!! How very blessed we are to be in your family!!!!!!!!!!
