Okay, okay.....so it's been a little too long since I posted last. I'm a slacker, what can I say? Things have been pretty ordinary around here. Been going to school, raising Michael, so on and so forth.

Troy got a new toy, so a couple of weeks ago we went out shooting with Beth, Jeff and Garrett, and it was pretty fun. We both got to shoot off a few rounds (only took me one to be done), and I have to admit as bad as my arms and shoulder hurt after, it wasn't too bad. I'm not much of a shot, but it's entertaining either way. Troy did a great job, shooting bottles of water out of the sky! Troy showed Michael how to break clay pigeons over his head...probably not the smartest thing, but Michael didn't stop doing it until all the pigeons were broken. I thought poor Beth was gonna have some problems from laughing so hard!

Michael and I went to the store with his Grandma this past Friday, and Grandma was nice enough to buy him a bowl for some goldfish.  We brought those home and got them all set up in their new little home, and Michael LOVES them!  Sadly, they aren't all alive to this day, but there are still three left, and so far they're doing well.  Michael helps me feed them every morning and he seems to think it's pretty funny everytime.  Once in a while he actually gets the fish food in the bowl, even.  Haha!  I'm not too sure what Dad thought about us bringing home some fish, but he hasn't really seemed to HATE it, so it must be okay. 

I am now 19-1/2 weeks along.  Baby Hoskins has been moving around for a couple of weeks now, but he/she has been REALLY active for the past couple of days.  Tomorrow is a big day for us all because we are going in for my ultrasound to find out if we're buying baby stuff in blue or pink.  We're taking Michael with us, and we're going to start trying really hard to make him understand there's a baby in Mommy's tummy.  We've got a really cute way to tell everyone what we're having, and Troy's been working pretty hard to make it as cute as possible and he's been doing a great job.  We're super excited!  We'll definitely be updating tomorrow.


Other than that, nothing's really changed.  The weather is cooling off so that's DEFINITELY a nice thing!  We're excited to get Michael all ready for Halloween, and then it's on to Christmas shopping.  As a matter of fact, we've already been doing a little bit of Christmas shopping.  We're gonna try really hard to get it all done early so when all of the sick people are out shopping, we're going to be snuggled up all safe and disease-free at home.  We'll only need to go shopping for the obvious essentials.  Wahoo!!! 

Tune in tomorrow to find out if we're getting pink or blue!
