The Neumans: May 2011

The BIG News!

Yes...two new little precious feet are going to be joining our family in November. The official due date is November 25, 2011...which just so happens to be my birthday! What a gift!

I have so much to write about our little miracle! It has been quite the journey getting our little beano (our name for our little angel until we find out if hiser is a boy or a girl). It has been quite the journey, but God has answered our prayers! I can't wait to write about our journey, but I'm going to leave that for later. For now, I want to announce it to the world that we are having a little precious baby! (I've been waiting forever to write that very sentence!!)

I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him.
~ 1 Samuel 1:27

Our little one is already quite photogenic, and has already gotten very used to getting hiser's picture taken. Here is our little beano's progress so far:

Beanpop at just 6 weeks old!

Pumpkin bean at 8 weeks old!

Little bean at 12 weeks old!

Here is another 12 weeker!

And for mama's growth:

Mama at 12 weeks!

And for Papa's growth:

Papa at 12 weeks! (hopefully papa stays at 12 weeks for the next 28 weeks ;)) We'll see!

We couldn't be happier, and we can not wait to meet our precious angel.

Easter Weekend

Craig and I headed up to Rawlins, WY this year to spend Easter with family.

It is such a blessing to spend this holiday with family, such a blessing to be reminded of our savior's resurrection, and such a miracle that it was through Jesus' death we were all saved of our sins and thus have eternal life. Easter is a day which we can remember this miracle and celebrate our blessings.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.
~ John 11:25-26.

Here are some pics of our Easter morning:

This is a Nintendo DS competition! I love me a little competition :)

Neuman Family Visits (continued)

Last up, Craig's mom and dad came out to visit. We had a blast with these two. We were blessed with wonderful weather, and a lot of golf!

Here are some pics of one of our golf outings:

Waiting for my ball to land....a good 20 feet in front of me ;)

Ready to hit the course!

This is a look of, "I hate that hole!"

Neuman Family Visits (continued)

Second up, Craig's sister Denise and her family came up for the weekend!

We had a lot of fun with these guys as well. Lots of Wii, games, movies, and of course CASA Bonita! I am so disappointed that I didn't have my camera with me at CASA Bonita. Between the arcade from the 80's, the cliff divers, the crazy puppet show, the scary cave, and the yummy food ;), I missed out on some great photo ops. We all had a great time, and an overall great weekend.

Every Neuman loves a little basketball. So outside we went to play some hoops!

Little "I" going for a shot.

The nephews playin' some hoops.

Nice shot 'R'!

Perfect form!

"Come on Uncle Craig - let's see what you got!"

'R' gives it a shot.

'I's 'turn!

Another great weekend with family!

Neuman Family Visits

Our Spring has been off to a busy start! We have been enjoying lots of family visits and have been loving every minute of it!

First up, Craig's sister Wendy and her family came up for the weekend. We kept pretty busy shopping, playing games, hot tubing, eating, and watching movies. Overall an awesome weekend.

Here is some pics of some fun outside!
