20 Week Ultrasound!

Edward and I went to my 20-week ultrasound today! I had to drink a quart of water an hour before the appointment. That was the hard part. Otherwise, it was so fun to see our acrobatic baby. It's feet were all over the place including over it's head. The Ultrasound Technician had a hard time getting good photos because the baby wouldn't sit still long enough. The baby and I both checked out in great health!
This is the profile with a leg in view...I think the best shot we got!
These are more profile photos of the baby. Most have looked at the photos and said, "It's a boy." Funny because I was thinking it's a girl for some reason...time will tell!
I *think* if you look at the right side of this one you can see little feet and toes!

Oktoberfest part 2

One more photo and funny video from Oktoberfest weekend. I still had the camera on "movie" mode by accident when mom tried to take a photo of the 4 of us. I thought it was a pretty funny little clip.

Here's the video:

And...the final photo:
Kadie, Hahn, Edward, and me in front of Edward's "station"

Oktoberfest!

This weekend we went to Oktoberfest-one of the biggest weekends to see rockets launch in Northern Colorado. Edward and Hahn went out on Thursday night. Edward's parents joined them Friday, then Mom, Kadie & I drove out Saturday morning. Edward launched his rocket 3 times over the weekend but also had some joint projects with his friend, John. Then on Sunday, someone launched one of Edward's custom motors (alphahybrids.com) in his rocket. The video below is of this rocket taking off! It was a great weekend to camp on the Pawnee National Grasslands and to see Edward in his element, having a blast with his friends and rockets.

Mom watches as Edward and Hahn finish wrapping the parachute to put into the rocket.

Kadie helps by handing over the nose cone! Go Kadie!

Edward and Hahn are installing the ignitor and then we're ready to launch!
Notice the decal on the fin!
