Back from the ER

Derek and I had a little scare last night. I was experiencing some of the worst pain that I have ever felt resulting in vommitting every 5-10 minutes for about 3 hours. I woke D up and told him that we needed to go to the ER. Anyways, long story short, I was passing kidney stones. I am just about 21 weeks and the baby was healthy. They did an ultrasound in the ER. Derek asked Dr. Smith if he could tell what the sex of the baby was, but sorry to disappoint, we still don't know! I'm still having some residual pain in my side, but I'm praying that it will go away soon. Anyone else experience this during pregnancy?

GO JETS!

Our saturdays remain pretty busy! Hannah has fastpitch from 8:30-10:30, Ben has his football games at 11:30, and Hannah has soccer from 1:00-2:30. This is Ben's first year in flag football. It is so fun to watch the boys. Half the time they are picking grass or playing with their mouth guards. The coaches are saints for dealing with 10 ADD 6 & 7 year olds. Here's a couple of shots of Ben playing QB. (they don't do a lot of passing...if you can imagine)

Taking after his daddy and playing as an offensive lineman. He looks like he's choking that poor boy. Is that legal?

No tears here!

I had a whole 2 hours to myself today! Ben started kindergarten and Eve started preschool. Life is good!!

Minnesota State Fair

Gibson side (Lt-Rt, Ben, Kyle, Eve, Hannah, Zack, Averi, Drew) We are only missing Jake who is Jodi's youngest. We left him at grandma's house.

Jodi got a big V from some weird guys who were marking everyone. I'm not even sure what it means!

Eve and Drew at the kiddie rides.

UFF-DA Days!

We just got back from Minnesota on Saturday night where I spent a couple of weeks with my family. The first part of the week I went up to my mom's house. She lives in Northern Minnesota where "yah" the Fargo accent is in full force! The Saturday that the entire family was together we celebrated UFF-DA Days in downtown Nevis. (One stop sign, two gas stations, two resteraunts, and a funeral parlor). Ben won the ice cream eating contest and won this Viking helmet. (Go Vikings!) .....more exciting pictures to follow.

Jodi and Travis came 1st in the egg toss and received free tee-shirts!

Due date!

Just got back from picking Hannah up from camp. I didn't work her week this year, so you guys are going to have to wait for the (throw away) camera pictures to be developed. They might actually be (throw away pictures). She had a great week and ended up with lots of awards! When we got home today, Hannah got a note from school with her teacher assignment. She got the mean old teacher and started crying. I pulled out my old yearbooks and showed her a couple teachers I had and lived through it to tell about it....Ms. Erickson for one. She was at least a 100 years old.

I am 11 weeks pregnant and am due March 10th. I finally had an ultrasound done a couple of weeks ago. There's a heart beat! All I said to the lady is, "there's only one...right"? I was already thinking of starting my own reality show if there was more than one. I could quit working, get some free plastic surgery and D could get some hair plugs. What is the harm in that?

Bill turns 60!

Just wanted to post a picture of the Garrett family that was present at Bill's suprise 60th birthday party. Look at all those kids.
