Goodbye, Zing. Hello new world

Hello Folks,

Travis here. If there is one thing I hate, besides satan, it is when people constantly change the location of their blog. That being said, Tia and I have done just that. After spending several years on the Zing updating our blog maybe five times total we've decided to get a fresh start at travandtia.com. This new location will see updates by both Tia and I as we enjoy the adventures of moving across the country and having a baby boy (due in October). So change your links, update your RSS feeds because we have relocated and things are going to get wild.

Thanks for everything and we hope you'll follow us at travandtia.com

Thinking of Baby Tonight

So I had some free time tonight and actually felt like sitting down to the computer and posting some pictures. I was thinking about our baby coming and wondering what the little person will look like. I did some research into some of my kid pictures and some of Trav's. I attached a couple and I figured you'd get a good idea.

Baby's First Picture

That is right, we are pregnant. We have officially entered the second trimester and so I now am comfortable announcing to the world that we are pregnant.

Trav has been so excited that with his creative skills he made this lovely video to tell the family, beware, it's a little risque, but it fits.

A very special announcment from Travis Meidell on Vimeo.

I'll keep you posted. I did have a little "all-day-queasiness" for a few weeks. Morning sickness is a misnomer. I am feeling great right now and we are just excited about all the new changes. Baby is due October 15.

Other changes, Trav officially is leaving for an internship to Chicago on June 3, for 10 weeks. He has received a couple of scholarships for this summer and some awards for his ads.

SO PROUD!

Happy 2011

The year has really flown by. I mean, now it's February and I am doing our first post since Thanksgiving. Yikes!

Christmas was wonderful. It was nice to just get to stay home, but it made it even better when we got to see my parents when they came down from Montana on Christmas Day.

January flew by with us focusing a lot on Trav graduating. This is his last semester and I tell you what is has been SO much better than last semester.

Check out his website and his blog when you have time. It will give you a feel about what he's been up to.

As for me, I have signed up for the 2011 Fight for Air Climb on Feb 26. So I have been training to run up the Wells Fargo building stairs.Let me know if you're interested.

On a side note, I REALLY want to go visit my cute little niece. I keep borrowing the pictures my sister-in-law and brother and post them on my blog, cuz she's just so cute.

Our house is up for sale, so if anyone is looking for a starter home, give us a call and we'll have you talk to Trav's Aunt.

Future plans include:

• Trav graduation April 22-23
• Internship April 25-June 13---ISH (Not sure where yet.)

Mark your calenders!

Thanksgiving in Montana!

Love our new niece Tori!

This is my favorite picture of Tori. Crystal (my sis-in-law) found this cute flower and Tori pulls it off fabulously!

My brother, his wife, and the baby. See that beautiful dress? Well Cryatal made it herself, absolutely gorgeous. You'll see more pictures to come.

Bath time with baby! Fun!

Good looking daddy and daughter!

Hey it's Grandma! Look at that little face Tori is pulling, so cute!

Shooting Clay Pigeons

As Trav's dad said when he saw these pictures, "I've never been so proud!"

Yes, we shot and believe it or not, we actually hit some!

Yes folks, this could get scary.

Me and Grandpa Bob. He kept getting mad at all the pigeons we were wasting....I mean, we hit every single one (wink, wink).

Happy Halloween

So my wonderful sister-in-law took some pictures of my recent cupcake making adventure I think they turned out pretty darn good. Whitney, also makes some pretty fetching kittle liter cake, and, despite what it looks like, it's wonderful!

Aunt and Uncle!

Trav and I have a our first little niece! Her name is Victoria (Tori) Cait Anderson.

She is wonderful. We get to visit during Thanksgiving and we are excited. She's so CUTE!

See ....so cute!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

Thanks to a wonderful sister in-law we have some fun pictures for this year. The first one is my favorite. I love all the colors and it is just a fun idea for pictures. Thanks Whit!

The Happy Dayz

Do you have days where just a couple of things happen that are small but totally make your week! Well this week, I think it was Thursday night Trav and I just got home and were finishing up a few things: I was checking on my garden and he was on the computer.

I heard a yell from the back room...."Oh sh....!" I ran to the computer room and found this:

Don't worry he was alright. I asked if he was ok and he said no, his pride was hurt. LOL, you got to just love my husband. It's been 4 years and I think it is such a blessing in my life to look back and know that the last four years I have at least laughed once a day...even if I don't remember it, I know that I was happy enough to laugh.

Then I went to the garden and found...(see pic below)

HOLY ZUCCHINI!!!!

I am TOTALLY bummed I missed the fair, I would have entered my zucchini and I could have won! I mean look at that sucker! I will make zucchini bread for a year with that! I was very excited to say the least. Who knew I would aspire in my life to be a master zucchini grower.

Trav is headed off to New York for a week for an advertising convention so I'll post a little more then.
