The Very Little Girl Nursery

Let me just say...I love my Mom! She is the best most amazing seamstress I have ever known! It was fun (with a lot of help from my sisters) to create this nursery. I am excited to see how my little one reacts to the stimulating black and white patterns. All I have left to do now is get a large rug and make some wall hangings.

Beautiful Colorado

This is one of the reasons we love where we live! Preston was heading out the door one morning and ran back in to get me and I ran back in to get the camera. We kind of missed the sunrise in the picture but this is right after. The red rocks you can see is called Garden of the Gods. This was taken from our front yard. Aren't we lucky!!

The Hickmans

Alyson and Gavin...she seems pretty fascinated
Natalee is such a cutie!
Alyson loved the balloons and riding on Grandmas shoulders
Mom and Dad Hickman...
Ann wanted to be included in the treasure hunt so Mom Hickman is helping her read a clue.

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Gavin turned 7 this year and requested a wolverine birthday. We had Mac N Cheese for dinner at his request. We also had an x-men treasure hunt and of course cake. It was a good birthday. (By the way the gash in Gavin's head happened at school when he had an encounter with the ice and I think the ice won).

Our Trip to Jamaica 1/20/07 - 1/27/07

One of the perks of Preston's job is that each year he has the opportunity to earn a trip. I feel extremely blessed that we could take a little time for the two of us before the baby comes. Despite being extremely uncomfortable on the bus and the airplane we had a blast. I was a little worried that Preston would be bored with his pregnant wife but I was wrong. We just relaxed and did whatever we wanted. It was great!!!

Sandals Dunns River Falls Villagio...

In the Jungle??? No its just the resort.

Around the resort...

Pregnancy Progress 1/24/07

Here are a couple of belly shots in Jamaica. I am 33 weeks.

The Pool...

Dunns River Falls is a big tourist attraction that is located not too far from the resort. This was the resorts imitation of the falls.
Here I am smiling but I was about to pass out because I was really over heated so I put my feet in the cool unheated pool and got a virgin pina colada. Ahhh that is much better.

Our Room

We had a beautiful room with a great view. This is at night after the turn down service. I especially love the green walls. :)

The View from our room

The View from the Glass Bottom Boat

Glass Bottom Boat

Since I am big and pregnant this is the most action Preston and I saw. It was fun but we didn't see too much.
No I am not going to throw up...I am just looking at the fishies.

Just Hanging out

This was our morning ritual...after breakfast we would usually find one of the quiet hammocks and read and nap. It was great!

Shopping...

On Friday the resort brought in a few very skilled and nice vendors. They weren't allowed to yell at us and they had to make what they sold. There was some really neat stuff...beautiful wood carvings, dresses, leather sandals, jewelry, baskets and much more. This woman made the most beautiful baskets and purses. I was asking how she made them so she decided to make me a bracelet to show me how. She was really nice. We ended up buying a three tier fruit basket from her.
