Christmas time is here!

So, am I the only one that feels like this year has flown by entirely too fast? My little girl is going on three and we have another little one on the way, which means these next 6 1/2 months are going to go by super fast! Slow down!!!! I managed to get a few pictures up from the past couple of weeks. I never thought that would happen! Lately I have been so fatigued. I constantly want to sleep, but of course that never happens, so I just feel even more tired. I need a time out... a vacation. That sounds good right now! Tomorrow is my last day at work before Christmas, and then I have off until the 29th. Hopefully I find time to chill.


Christmas card 2008

Tristyn and Santa. She looks so grown up!

Family of three... going on four!!!

We are so excited to announce that we are pregnant! I am 9 weeks along... 10 weeks on Tuesday. We are ready for another new chapter in our life. We can't wait! We had our first sonogram last week and everything looked good. Here are a few pictures from when I suprised John and from the sonogram.


We're pregnant!


John opening his first card from Baby Strout. At first he thought it was from Tristyn.


John told Tristyn that she was going to be a big sister! She was excited!

Time to relax...

I finally can relax! These past couple weeks have been so CRAZY!!! So much going on and so little time to sit back and just rest. But, hopefully the craziness is behind us. Everything is settling well in the new house. We are still looking for a breakfast table on Craig's List. I have found some amazing tables lately, but every time I call, I am too late. Someone snatched it up already! I know God has a great "cheap" one waiting for us somewhere. I have to be patient. After getting things together in the house, I am debating on painting. I really want to, but that is a lot to think about. I still have to buy some pretty curtains for a couple rooms. We will see. It will all come together! Pictures of the house will be coming soon. Here are a few pictures that I have not had time to post yet.

Trick or Treat!

On Thursday night we took Tristyn o Journey Christian Church fr their Fall Festival with her friend Asher. They both had a ton of fun! After getting everything for Tristyn's Dorothy costume, she decided that she wanted to be Snow White. Of course,we didn't have a Sow White costume, but thankfully I was able to find one!!! So, I surprised Tristyn that afternoon before we went out. She did not wait to take the costume off when we go home. She was so adorable it it!!

Fall Is In The Air

We took Tristyn to a pumpkin patch at Sanlando United Methodist Church on Wednesday, and I have to say, that it was the best one that we have seen so far (in the 3 years that we have been going to them). There were a ton of pumkins and plenty of cute things for kids to do. I snapped a few pictures of Tristyn as she was in search of a pumpkin to take home.

Go Seniors!!!

Last Tuesday Tiffani had her PowderPuff game at Apopka. Of course the Seniors won... they ALWAYS win! It brought back so many memories. I can't believe that it has been 6 years already since we graduated. It has gone by so fast! I can honestly say that I do miss the amazing times I had with my friends in High School. Tristyn had so much fun too! She was dancing to the music and cheering for 'Titi' (aunt Tiffani). We took a couple of pictures from the game.

Tristyn's first trip to Disney

We took tristyn to Disney for the first time ever! She had a blast! We got there at 11am and did not leave until 10pm. It was a long day, but it was so worth it. Just to see Tristyn's face light up on every ride made John and I both so happy!
