BIG RUSSELL FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

That's right!  I'm going to be a BIG BROTHER!!!

I can't wait!!

YIPPEE!!!!
Here is a picture of my new brother or sister.  (from about 8 weeks)

Personally, I hope it's a sister, but I'd be okay with a brother, too.
Here's the baby's profile.  Isn't technology amazing??

Mommy got to hear the baby's heartbeat yesterday.  When she asked the Doctor if it sounded like a "girl heartbeat" or a "boy heartbeat" Dr. Scott said, "It sounds like a healthy heartbeat."  We'll take it! : )
Mommy is about 16 weeks along now and she has been feeling pretty good...although I must confess.....SHE IS MOODY!  

(Don't tell her I said that!)

Before we know it, our family will be 2 feet bigger!!  I can't wait!!

Stay tuned for more updates!

HAPPY EASTER!!! 4.09

HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY!!!

Easter Egg Hunt - April 5, 2009

Today, Grandmom and PopPop invited my friend, Eva, and me over for an Easter Egg Hunt.

We had so much fun!

I was pretty good at finding the eggs.

Eva spotted some eggs right away.

I found that the "shovel method" worked really well.

Eva liked putting her eggs into her bucket.

She also liked taking the eggs OUT of her bucket!

Hey...blue and orange...BRONCOS colors!!  My Daddy will be excited! : )

There's still plenty of shoveling to do.

Eva was trying to figure out how to get to the candy!!

Hey...look at my new hat!

Time to check out my loot!

Uh oh...Eva found the chocolate...

..and the jelly beans!

After we found all of the eggs, we went inside for some more surprises.

Check out all this cool stuff!

There's just enough time to blow some bubbles before we head home.

Did we have fun????

I think Eva's smile says it all! : )

THANKS EASTER BUNNY!

THE GREATEST PLAYGROUND IN THE WORLD!!!!!

Today is going to be a great day!

Right now I'm standing in the spot where my new playground is going to be built.

I can't wait!!!!

Here's one pile of wood.

Here's a 2nd pile of wood.

And...finally...here's the 3rd pile of wood.

This is going to be a lot of work!!

Things are finally underway!

Trust me....I know what I'm doing!

Time for a quick break!

My AWESOME neighbors helped my Daddy every step of the way.  

We would have been lost without them!

Check out the cool 2nd floor!

Here's my Daddy and my AWESOME neighbors again.  

They're putting on the finishing touches to the first floor.

Things are really coming along.

Check out this amazing progress!

Time for a JELLY DONUT break.

I love my new picnic table!

YUMMY!

Looks like this wood pile is getting a little lower....

I'm on top of the world!!

I love to climb.

Peek-a-Boo!

This is SOOOO AWESOME!!!

I told PopPop he could borrow one of my swings for his coffee break.

He's been working hard.

HOORAY!  The slide is on!!  WEEEEEEE!!!

After many, many, many hours and LOTS of hard work from the crew, here's the final product.
