Maryville Trivia Night

Last weekend we went to the Maryville Young Alumni Trivia Night, with Jason, Hillary, Phil, and Jill. Our table was the Village Idiots and out of 31 tables we took 31st place. We are quite proud of our accomplishments. Hey, we still had fun.

Cookies, Babies, and The Twins

This post is a little random... Last weekend our good friends Joel and Jenny gave birth to their first child, Everett James. He is so cute and we are both very happy for them.

The proud parents

Me and Everett (he is such a cute baby)

Well it is girl-scout cookie time and I just had to get a picture of this. Brian is writing his name on his half of the girl-scout cookies so that I won't eat any of them. He was worried about his cookies and me eating all of them... doesn't he trust his wife ;)

A few weeks ago Jason and Hillary had the twins baptized and here are some cute pictures of the boys. Hard to believe that they are almost 10 months old.

Aiden was sleeping too... at least they were quiet

Hockey Playoffs

I am a little behind on the blogging... back in early February, Brian's hockey team headed to Chicago for playoffs. They got second place, but in reality it means nothing for the National Tournament. They play this weekend and if they win it is off to Regionals in about two weeks and then Nationals in North Carolina. Good Luck Affton.

16 Weeks... Jeni's growing belly

Brian and I headed to the doctor today for our 16-week appointment. Everything is going well, despite my baby bump, which is starting to show, I haven't gained a pound. The doctor said that I have nothing to worry about, the baby is fine and growing. We got to hear the heartbeat again, it was fast and the baby was moving all over the place, IT couldn't sit still. Anyway enjoy the pictures, they aren't the best, but they will do. We see the doctor again in about 4 weeks and we will be finding out the sex... hopefully baby Gardner will cooperate.

More Exciting News in the Soeder Family

As most of you know, my (Jeni) little sister Jacki is getting married this May and the baby is due in August... well just in case that wasn't enough for my parents, Jamie, my other sister just got engaged about a week ago and is planning on getting married next summer. Things are definitely going to be busy for the Soeder family this next year but it is exciting.

Baby Update

Lots of people have been asking, so I figured I would write a little update on the baby. All is going well, we saw the doctor about a week ago. The heart-beat is strong and things look good. I have been feeling a little better, but still very tired and feeling sick at times. However we are at the end of our first trimester so we are praying for things to get better in the next few weeks. We see the doctor in three weeks and then in March we will have another ultra-sound and hopefully find out the sex of the baby. Other than that everything is good. I will post some pictures soon.

Two in a row

Two snow days that is... we finally had our FIRST snow fall of the season. It has been a cold winter, but no snow. But I am not complaining, I don't like the snow... but I loved my two days off of work. Brian got one day off, and got to go in late today, but I think he was a little jealous of me at home.

Here's our good old snow moose... he says we got about 7 inches of snow!!!

It is pretty to look at though...
