Catching up!

So I know, I am a horrible blogger!! But I guess I should update on what has been going on in our lives. Well, we finally finished the backyard!! YAY! This is supposed to be a BEFORE pic, but it's more like the middle. Before it was all just waist high weeds. And this is after!!!
Scotty worked so hard on this. He spent his whole summer working on it. The rock wall you are looking at he did all by himself!!! Well with the help of our fabulous brothers and fathers. We were pricing everything, rock, stone etc.. Everything was SO expensive. So we decided to improvise. Scotty went up behind my parents house where they are building a new development, and loaded up the truck with rocks!! I think he had to do about 9 loads!! But hey we had more time than money!! So he researched how to make a wall, and here is the result. I think he did such a fabulous job.
And this is our new couch. Before we were using pieces of a sectional. We have been using every body's oldies since we've been married, so we thought it might be time to get something of our own. The old couch was the corner piece and the chase piece of his sisters couch. So we had this weird half circle thing going on. We could never have company over because there was nowhere for them to sit. So we found this at DownEast. We LOVE this store. We found in for 600 bones!! I thought it was a pretty good deal, so we purchased and I am very happy!
This room is the baby's room. I have already mentioned that I am doing the room in turquoise and orange. As I have been looking for bedding and fabric I have been HATING that I already painted the wall and bought the rug. But I did finally find some fabric, so all is well again. No crib yet, that is whole other story in itself that frustrates me too much to talk about!!
Last but not least, It is Halloween time!! This is my Halloween tree. It's my favorite Haloween Decor!I love Halloween, but since my last name is now Fronk, I must really really LOVE Halloween. For all of you who know my in-laws you know what I am talking about. I have never met a family as in love, or obsessed you could say, with Halloween. We do a big spook ally every year. It's not just rinky dinky, IT's HUGE!! we get thousands of people there. It will be the weekend before Halloween at Oaklawn park if anyone would like to attend, It's a cheap date... FREE!! I know we are crazy. Did I just say WE? I meant THEY are crazy!!
I don't have pictures , but the only other things that are going on is FOOTBALL, and me still bein knocked up!! We are now in the playoffs for Scotty's little guys, hopefully we will make it to the mini bowl. His JR. High team isn't as lucky. But they are doing better.
And as for me, I am really enjoying feeling the baby move around. For all of you moms ,you know what I mean. I go to get my 'BIg 3D' ultrasound on Monday. I am pretty excited. She is still bigger than normal. So hopefully I will be able to move up my due date, but I am not holding my breath!! I will post pics of my belly soon, I just need to remember to do it. Thanks for reading this ridiculously long post!!

Yay I have been wondering whats going on with you guys! Tell scotty he did a fabulous job it looks great! keep in touch I miss talking to you!

Wow, everything looks great! The room, the couch, the rock wall, the yard. Way to go! I could never find bedding to match what was in my head either...I ended up just doing white sheets, white crib skirt, and I got a white bumper from DownEast with a brown border. It was the best I could do to match the green stripes I chose to do! So, I know how you feel!

Also,
We're going on a cruise in Jan to Cabo. You said you loved Cabo. What did you guys do there? We're wondering what we should plan to do while were there. And, what ship did you cruise on?

I am way impressed with your rock wall/grass laying skills! Your yard looks fantabulous - do you go outside and pet the grass daily? I would. I also love the nursery. Good luck with the crib and all the rest - no fun indeed. I am excited to see belly pics!
