New stove

Here it is!! The new stove has been in the garage for a couple months now. Fine time to be hooking it up, dont ya think! Dad came up tonight and helped Kevin install it! I now have all new matching appliances IN MY KITCHEN!!



I baked a couple packages of Pillsbury packaged cookies tonight just to test it out. Too bad Dad didn't get to stay to enjoy them! They aren't anything like "Laci Cookies" but they'll do just fine for a test! And the stove worked like a dream!


We're a little sad to say Bye-Bye to the little convection oven that kept us fed for the last 20 months, but I'm glad to see it go finally!!! WAHHOOOO!!

Ultrasound in TWO DAYS!!!

Fall Clean-Up!

We went to Osky on Sunday to help clean out my grandparents house. Us Wickenkamp's always find silly things to amuse ourselves! The guys spent most of the day in the garage (I now know where my dad gets his ability to keep EVERYTHING! hee hee) and came out with these pretty snazzy hats!





(can you believe he didn't get the $2 he had on the hat at the garage sale 40 years ago? Who'd a thunk it wouldn't sell!!)

Grandpa Wayne took some time out to create new fun with Kaylee! It was a gorgeous afternoon for a wheelbarrow ride across the yard! ;)

Kaylee's flowergirl experience

Kevin's cousin Tina got married this past Saturday and Kaylee was their flowergirl! She had a blast and loved getting all dressed up! Complete with hair and nails! Here's some pics from the day!

Get to know Jes

Ok, so I was tagged by Laci to reveal 7 weird or random things about myself....easier said than done!! Well~here goes nothing!!

1~I dont like chocolate. Nope...not a bit! I can handle it if its with peanut butter, but other than that, I can't stand it!!

2~I sing really loud in the car, and I mean LOUD! I can really jam!! But only when I'm by myself. For those of you who have had the missfortune of hearing me sing you know i can't carry a tune in a bucket! Thus the reason I sing alone...or sometimes when Kaylee is with me. She doesn't care if I sound like a cow in labor!

3~I, like most everyone in the world, suffer from serious road rage! I dont nudge closer to people, I yell! As loud as I can out an open window! Word of wisdom...don't do it in Orlando!! We were turning right on red and some people were crossing the street...you catch my drift! We had the right of way...and they were in our way!

4~I love scary thriller books!! The more odd the plot, the better! But don't put a scary thriller movie on while I'm in the room. I'll run and hide! Scary movies FREAK me out something fierce!

5~I'm not a good cook! Maybe not so much a bad cook, but I truely HATE cooking! If I can buy something frozen and throw it in the oven, eat out, or order it all ready made, thats fine by me! I also hate to clean. I'll wait til the stuff is piled so high on the dining room table its falling off before I put it all away.

6~I'm a night owl. I definately should have a job where I can work the grave yard shift! I'm not a morning person AT ALL, so getting up at 5 am is not my cup of tea! I would love to be able to stay up all night and sleep all day!

7~I'm not a girly-girl! I feel doing my hair and make-up is a waste of time. Its more time I could be sleeping, although I've started wearing make-up to work on a daily basis. Still dont have to do my hair tho! I'm not into fashion, I'm into comfort! I'd wear pajama pants and a sweatshirt everyday if it was acceptable!

So, there you have it! 7 things about me that you probably already knew!!
Now, I tag Erica! If she can peel herself away from her beautiful new baby boy long enough!!

Ultrasound is scheduled :)

We've scheduled our next ultrasound! I will be 18 week at my next appointment, so we will do it then....Oct 31st. Maybe we'll get a little Halloween surprise! 19 days and counting!
We're hoping for a little more cooperation from this child than we got from Kaylee. We, or should I say KEVIN, really wants to know if the baby is a boy or a girl. Me...I know its a baby, and its gonna hang out at our house for atleast the next 18 years, I can wait til he/she is born to know if we will buy blue or pink. And everyone says I'M the impatient one :)
So thats the latest from us! I'm going to try and take a belly picture this week since I've finally started to get one. Maybe I'll get it posted before this kid arrives ;)

PS~ survey says I'm getting a NEPHEW in February!!! YAY!!! Aunts ROCK!

Ultrasound 9-9-2008

Here it is!! It was hard to get a picture of the baby because it was so active. Heartbeat was 167!
