Demolition Derby, Great-Grandparents, Emma, Baby & 39 Weeks!

I am now 39 weeks along today. I thought forsure there would be a baby in my arms by now. I guess he is just not ready! As I am lying in bed today, I thought I would take a few minutes to update and add some pics. The only pics that I had handy were from the last bunch a put on a CD, so that is what I had to choose from. So, here we go. . . .


Demolition Derby. . . .
Derek was in two demos this summer. He was in the Wabasha County Demo and the Goodhue County derby. The pics below are from the demo in Goodhue County (I think it was Aug. 6th?)

This is what was left of Derek's truck after the Wabasha derby. This was taken right before leaving to Zumbrota for the derby. Nothing hardly left, right?


Some misc. pics. . . .







Here is Derek getting ready to accept his 2nd place trophy. My friend Emily has a PERFECT picture of him accepting it on her blog. http://www.nelson2007.blogspot.com./ I am sure it is farther down on her blog since she actually updates.

Great-Grandpa & Great-Grandma Neumann's

Here is Grandpa Jack and Uncle Ross driving Great-Grandpa Henry's pickup truck!

Here is Aunt Lori, Emma, Great-Grandma & Grandpa Neumann just hanging out.

Baby. . . . Eli James

Here is Emma with her new friend Eli. He was born on August 16 to Susan & Saah. Congrats, he is very handsome. We can't wait until he comes home!


Emma . . . .

Here are some random pics of Emma at home one night.


She LOVES to be in all of the baby's toys and trying to wear baby clothes these days.

Happy Birthday, Great-Grandpa Arla!!


Here is Emma trying to feed the dinosaur to Uncle Chad.

Emma sneaking the frosting of the birthday cake.

Trying to get a pic of the cousins, but it looks like Emma is still more interested in eating the frosting!

The finished product!

I caught Uncle Ross and Emma still eating frosting later!

I hope that was enought to hold you over for awhile. I started feeling guilty because I know the next time I will probably get on here, there will be a little baby to also update about. I am waiting & trying to be very patient.

I am so excited you have a new post! Great photos. Emma is growing up so fast! I am excited to meet her younger brother - I am sure he will be just as cute and sweet as his big sister. :)

Hey Annie,

Derek said that you guys wanted the recipe for those raspberry bars so here it is:

Purchase one box of Krusteaze Raspberry Bar mix.

Bake as directed.

There you go! Aren't they yummy? They are quick and easy too. I only wish I could take credit for the recipe!

Patiently waiting for some updated baby Jonathan photos... ;)
