18 Monther

My baby is 18 months!!! That seems sooo old.

He can say: Cracker, please, juice, hot, shoes, mama, daddy, dada, Jesus, and other things that Drew and I don't really understand.

He's such a sweetheart. I love little Luke Andrew Pepper.

Kat and Drew ... plus TWO??!!!

Yup, that's right. Luke is going to be a BIG BROTHER! We're officially going to be a family of 4! That sounds so weird. I would put up a picture of the sonogram, but our printer/scanner hasn't worked in over a year. So sorry.

The due date is March 8th. I've only been feeling queasy, so it hasn't been too bad. Except for Luke's random tantrums lately. So we're starting early with the terrible two's, apparently. Awesome.

Anyway, happy news! We're super excited!

Chuck E. Cheese

Mama Pepper wanted to take Luke to Chuck E. Cheese before she had to go back to work this year. I think there was so much to do, he was kind of overwhelmed! Plus he gets bored with a game after about a minute. But he loved it and he LOVED the pizza, so all in all, he had a super fun time!

Entering the Twilight Zone...

...Or Forks, Washington! That's right, I convinced my fam to drive the 2 hours drive to Forks. That town has really taken full advantage of being the setting for the Twilight novels. EVERY store has something in its window about Twilight...even a postal service/key making business. We went to the variety store and got a few trinkets and then went to a store called Dazzled by Twilight. It was a big store devoted to everything TWILIGHT! It's crazy! And it was the busiest store in the whole town! Then we went to Sully's Burger to get a "Bella Burger" but once I got there it said a Bella Burger had pineapple on it... no thanks. So I got a plain ol' cheeseburger. My dad and Johnny got a Rainy Day burger and my mom got a chicken sandwich. And Luke basically ate all the fries. It was a fun day in Forks!

Westport Beach

I'm hanging in Washington right now visiting my parents. We went to Westport Beach a little while ago and let me tell you, it is significantly different than Myrtle Beach. The biggest difference: COLD. It's freezing here. But it's a lot prettier. Myrtle Beach is a lot more commercial. After we looked at the water, we went to all the little shops. It was a lot of fun. And then we got pizza and of course we stopped by the quilt shop we saw. The teenage crew was not happy about that.

The teenage crew: Ashlyn (a cousin, kinda), Johnny (my stinky brother), and Luis (Johnny's friend that has moved in with my parents)


My mama!


One store owner gave Luke a lollipop. Sticky mess.


The first lighthouse I've ever seen! It's not used anymore, but it's still cool.
