What you've all been waiting for...

Me with a little belly. I'm finally getting to that stage where I actually look pregnant. People assume that it is safe to ask now, instead of just wondering if I have just gained weight. :) We are so excited to finally be able to call this baby "she" or "her" verses "it" "the baby" or "boy/girl". Now I guess it is really time to start thinking of names. For some reason the task overwhelmes me. When I was 12 I thought I had all of my kids names figured out...somehow 12 years later it's not so easy. We are getting very excited about our travels that are coming up over the next couple of weeks. This Friday we leave for Idaho. Eric's Grandpa Mann (Mom's Dad) lives in Payette, Idaho. Every year the entire family goes to visit. It sounds like tons of fun. I can't wait. Then the following weekend we will be on our way to North Carolina. I am kinda excited for the hot NC summer weather...the beach...and of course to see all of my wonderful family. I can't wait. See you all soon!

We are having a little girl!

Just an update for all or our faithful followers. Baby Hass is a girl! We are so excited and wanted to share the news with all of you.

4th of July Weekend

Hiking Tiger Mountain

Friday evening after enjoying Eric having the day off from work, we decided to go on a hike. Eric suggested Tiger Mountain. It is a pretty strenusous 3 mile hike just a few miles from our home. I don't think I knew what I was getting myself into, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.

We made it to the top!

My first glimpse of what I had been working for the whole time...

The view!


At this point there was no turning back. I couldn't have done it without Eric. We made it up and back just before dark and enjoyed just being on a mountain side...just the two of us.
