Busy... Busy...

Hello Again,

We hope all is well without blog followers. Everything has been great for us this past month.

Our remodel of the upstairs master bedroom has really come along. Eric has really earned “The Greatest Husband” award once again. He has put in so many hours getting it completed, it’s been amazing. Once we get the upstairs finished we will then begin to start on the baby’s room.

Speaking of baby, everything is going well. I’m in my third trimester now. This is crazy to think that we will have a new addition to our family in just a few months. SO far I am measuring a little bigger than normal, but no surprise when you look at Eric and I. It’s not like we are the smallest people in the world. LOL Eric also felt the baby finally kick. He has been asking for that everyday since I told him that I could feel the baby. So he is now a little more excited about the baby then before.

We also celebrated out niece Evie’s first birthday. I can’t believe that she is already one. It seems like just yesterday that I was singing “Apple Bottom Jeans” to her in the hospital. One thing is for sure that she and I are going to be great friends for life. We so far really enjoy hanging out with each other. She is my little rock star.

Believe it or not before the month of April Eric could resist the urge to take his true love out for a ride. And no I do not mean me. Believe it or not on March 31, 2010 Eric and his true love, Harley went for their first ride around the block together. He really tried to leave the bike in the garage, but the warm weather got the best of him. He was like a kid in a candy store.

Well that pretty much sums up out month. But stay tuned we have a lot going on in April too.

Things to look forward to in the month of April….
1. New Baby Pictures
2. Finished Master Bedroom with before and after pictures.
3. Start of the baby’s room
4. 6 month anniversary of marital bliss
5. Easter

Lots of Love to all,
Eric, Monica, Kit, & B.B.

Well, well where to begin?

Hello Again!

Well, well where to begin?

The month of February had a lot going on. I guess we will just start from the beginning of the month and work our way through.

As we all know Feb. is the month of love. Well in our house is the month of Eric going in a mode of comatose called Sturgeon Spearing. Sturgeon Spearing is always the weekend or week of Valentines. So we both are on the ice ready to spear by 6:30 a.m. opening day. Valentines is never really celebrated like most couples. But on one hand I get to spend six hours in a 4x6 foot shack with my husband staring into a hole of water. Now let me tell you folks that is as romantic as it gets! Yes it may sound boring to some but I would never want to do anything else.

Eric was luck this year and got is 4th Sturgeon on a row this year. So he has been on cloud nine ever since. He was the only one who speared a Sturgeon this year out of our group so it was a bitter sweet celebration.

Now that Sturgeon Spearing is done Eric has been able to work again on the upstairs of our house which will soon become our new master suite. Eric really is getting the husband of the year award this month. Not only did he provide food for the family, but he also is remodeling our house and putting up with a pregnant wife.

We had our 21 week appointment this past Friday. Everything is going great! I’m measuring a little big, but we aren’t worried. We already know that our baby is going to be really tall. On our last ultrasound all we saw was legs. Poor kid never stood a chance at being short with parents like us.

Well that pretty much sums up our month. Stay tuned next month, we have birthdays, remodeling, and baby news to share.

Lots of love to all!
Monica, Eric, BB, & Kit

It's all growing...

Hello Again,

Well we are at 18 weeks and counting.

Today I went to the doctor and had an ultrasound done. They even did the 3D which is just creepy. LOL....

We decided not to find out what we are having. Today we would have been able to tell, but knowing our luck they would say a girl and it would be a boy or they would say boy and it would be a girl. So we will have a great surprise in about 22 weeks.

Eric and I were very relieved that everything is showing a normal healthy baby. We are sitting at about 9 oz. not sure on the length however the legs look really long just like mine and Eric's.

I included some pictures below of my belly and how it's growing. Sorry they aren't the most attractive pictures.

This Turns into...

This turns into....This... and then it turns too...

The great 3D baby picture.

If you look close you will see that this is a picture of our babies face.

We will make sure to keep you updated as progress is made.

Lots of love,

Monica & Eric

New Year with New News!

Hello Again!

Well the holidays are over and we are now back to work.

We had a great holiday with family and friends. For Christmas we were all over the place. First with Eric's dad side, and then my family, and then with Eric's moms side. It was none stop but so much fun!

We had great news to share with our family and friends and now I finally get to share it freely with my blog followers.

Eric and I are expecting a new addition to our family. We can't wait. Yes we are surprised but can't with for July 3rd to come.

This picture is from our 8 week apt and we are now at 3 months and one day.

We will be sure to keep the updates coming on our new bundle of joy.


So far everything has been going great with out much of lifestyle changes.


Eric has gone into full construction mode on our upstairs to ensure that we will have enough room when the baby comes. He really is a great husband and new daddy to be.


Be sure to stay tuned as there is always action going on with the Burt family.

Lots of Love,

Monica, Eric, Kit, and BB (aka: Baby Burt)

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Hello Again!

Well as the tradition continues for us we got our tree up. The weekend of Thanksgiving we always put our tree up.

This year was really exciting now that we are newlyweds it's a tradition that we can now call the Burt Christmas Tree Tradition.

For one of our gifts from our wedding we received a beautiful handmade tree skirt that my mom's good friend Linda made. Who I call Auntie Linda.

The tree skirt

It is such a gorgeous skirt. It looks amazing under the tree and it is something I will always treasure.

Kit checking out the tree.

We have also started our remodel upstairs. Yesterday I was lucky enough to listen to Eric tear everything apart while jumping through the existing walls. I can't wait to get more of it done so I can take pictures to show you all the progress.

There is a lot going on so make sure to stay tuned!

Lots of love and holiday wishes,
Monica and Eric

Life After Marriage

Well people said that once you get married you watch you life fly bye. Well I think Eric and I have been on one of the fastest jets out there!

As you can see from our picture we have aged fast! Ok not really but we had you going. So Eric and I went out for Halloween this year. It's our first year that we have been able to dress up and go out. We had a blast. We first hit up our friend Andy's party and then headed out to watch some of our friends bowl. We had so much fun! We even took 2nd in a costume contest.


We have already started thinking of costumes for next year.

Now that we have declared the month of October over we have now started the plans of gutting, (yes I said gutting) our upstairs and making a master suite. I will be sure to post before, during, and after pictures for all of you to enjoy in our fun time of remodeling.

Stay tuned......
