This is how I roll

Just chillin'

Getting momentum

Here comes the action

funny story...

I drove by the house today to check on the progress.  When I got there, the workers were taking a break for lunch.  As I looked more closely to give them a wave, I noticed they had a couple of microwaves sitting on top of our huge electrical box to heat up lunch.  It made me laugh...

6/25/9

That's baby #3's due date...June 25th.  Ron and I went for the 8 week ultrasound today and we got to see the little peanut.  The heartbeat was strong at 160 bpm.  Praise the Lord for this miracle!

Fall Family Pictures

Yesterday morning we met the Browns and Schnorrenbergs at Maple Hill Cemetary for some Fall pictures.  We took turns taking family pictures for each other in front of the beautiful trees.  I just love this picture of Sam and Luke.  Amy took it just before Luke started falling over.  :)

This is Sam with his sweet friend Virginia.  They always take the sweetest pictures together.  Sam was trying a little too hard this time and his smile while saying "cheese" looks a tad bit scary.

Friday night

We had some good family time last night.  Ron was home by around 4 so we went to an early dinner at Bridge Street and Sam got to ride the carousel.  The evening at home was followed by Sam and Ron taking turns rolling each other into blanket burritos.

Fun with friends

Sam just loves his friend Pierson.  He talks about him all the time.  It's an added bonus that when the boys play, Amanda and I get to catch up too.

Today we met the Moyers at the playground for a while then came back to our house for lunch and cupcake decorating.  I don't know if the boys had more fun eating and decorating cupcakes or playing with trains and Toy Story characters.  We had fun just the same...

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Sunday was a whirlwind of a day for me.  My emotions were all over the place, but someone told me I can't blame it on being pregnant.  (Just between me and you, I blame it on being pregnant.)  :)

We bought Luke a new mattress at WalMart Sunday night after he slept a total of 50 minutes the whole day.  This was great news to Sam because the old mattress soon had a new use: his own slide.  

Ron took Sam outside for more bike lessons.  Sam insisted Ron wear his helmet too.

This picture was taken in the very late afternoon when I was trying desperately to get Luke to sleep.  I put him in Sam's bed so I could play with Sam.  Sam hopped up there to be with his little brother and they looked so precious.  It didn't last long.  Luke shook his head at one point and he and Sam butted heads.  Both boys started crying and the fun was temporarily over.

Anna, my friend from Birmingham, came to visit this weekend.  We had a good time just being girls: shopping at Bridge Street, pedicures, eyebrow waxing (ouch).  Thanks for coming Anna; it was fun!

Halloween 2008

Halloween activities were divided by me and Ron this year.  Ron took Sam trick-or-treating around the neighborhood and Anna and I took Sam to Whitesburg's Fall Festival.  Sam dressed up as Thomas the Tank Engine.

The Fall Festival was so adorable.  It reminded me of when I used to love playing the games at Briarwood's Fall Festival growing up.

This was the funniest moment of the night.  The lady explained to Sam where to stand and how to throw a ring on the coke bottles.  He said "Okay" and just walked right up to the bottle and put the ring on.  

Tate Farms

We went to Tate Farms Thursday and Sam was such a big boy.  Last year he didn't want to pet animals or jump in the corn, but this year he was running around doing everything.

As you can tell, he learned from the big kids that it would be fun to bury himself in corn.

And he climbed the tire mountain with the big boys.

He LOVED this cow.  He talked about her for days.
