34 Weeks - Just 6 Short Weeks to GO!!

So we had our 34 week appt - for those of you keeping track I have gained 22 lbs, and Dr. Dix estimated that baby is 6lbs!! Not sure how she came up with that exactly, but it sounds big to me! YIKES! My mother keeps telling me I am going to have a huge baby because I was 8lbs, and my brother was 10lbs (hence his nickname moose!) We are certainly getting ready for baby girl Iten to join the family. We still have some preparations to finish, hanging pictures, window coverings, and getting some last minute items together (diapers, wipes, etc...), installing the car seat - that is probably an important one. We will keep you posted on our progress.

Baby Shower...

I had the most wonderful baby shower last weekend! Michelle and Audrey did a wonderful job of putting together the perfect event. We had ICE CREAM from my favorite place - Liks - and all the toppings! Yummy! And so many of my wonderful friends came to help me celebrate our baby girl. It couldn't have been more perfect...

Thank you to everyone who was part of this event!!

NLCS - Game 4

ANOTHER SWEEP!! Crazy! We had tickets for game 5 of the NLCS, but after the Rockies were up 3-0, Scott had to get tickets to game 4 in case of a sweep (I couldn't make the game so no pictures)! And sure enough... they did it! They are on fire, and we are on our way to the WORLD SERIES!!!

More Rockies...

I know all my posts have been about the Rockies, but when you are married to Scott - baseball is what is going on in October (or should I say Rocktober!) Just a warning Basketball gets started in November! :)

So the Rockies swept the Phillies in the NLDS... since the first two games were in Philly, we only got to go to one game but it was the winning game. We had awesome seats - five rows up from the field - they didn't announce that tickets were going on sale for the NLDS games - so only 9 people showed up at the box office to get tickets, and luckily Scott heard about it later in the day and was able to get AMAZING seats! Very cool...

Some of the festivities before the game started... cool picture if I do say so myself!


These little boys made me tear up - their dad was a first base coach for the minor league team that feeds the Rockies organization. He was hit in the head by a line drive this past July and was killed instantly. His two sons threw out the first pitch of the game! Now the Rockies first base coach always wears a helmet while on the field. Really sad story...


This is what happens when I leave my husband with the camera!!

Eric & Scott........

The Girls...

And the sign we were all waiting to see up on the big screen...

I have to say... we are doing everything we can to make sure this little girl loves baseball!!

National League Wild Card Tiebreaker Game

Best Game EVER!!! Only the 6th time in history that there has been a tiebreaker and we were there! Rockies win in the bottom of the 13th inning after the Padres scored two runs in the top of the 13th. Crazy game! Here are some pictures...

Here is the fly over -


Scott & I so excited to be at the game!!!


It's stretch time...
And FINALLY.... in 13 Innings - down by two in the bottom of the 13th - most AMAZING game we have ever been at!

We will see you at the playoffs!

This was actually a picture from the Saturday before we went to the tiebreaker (Rockies vs. Arizona - a sneak peak of what is to come?)

Welcome Eli!!

Our good friends Tavi & Erica welcomed there little boy Eli a little over a week ago! (You might remember seeing prego pictures of Erica on previous posts!) I was able to run down to the hospital and meet the little guy the day after he was born and then we got to attend the Bris on Tuesday. We are so excited for our little girl to grow up with this little guy! Congrats!! He is truly precious!
