Dog Park Saturday

We decided to head out to the dog park this morning and let Gisele socialize with all the other dogs.... but, there was only one other dog there (we must be crazy for getting out in the heat! ha!) Notice in the pictures whatever Gisele does, H has to follow! We also went to the kid park but didn't stay long...Henry enjoyed the dog park much better... :)

A little shopping for baby...

..I was so excited to be able to hit the outlets with my mom and sister and get a little shopping done for baby. These items are the first things I bought for the baby...I think it has alot to do with not putting together a nursery and getting it ready (because it's already put together from H) that I feel like we are so behind (when really we are ahead of the game!)

It's AMAZING the difference in selection between the boys side of the store and the girls side! Not only in selection but in fabric, textures. September will still be HOT around here so while the girls side had a nice selection of lightweight fabrics, the boys were almost all heavy and too wintery! I had fun shopping for both genders and love that we will be taking both of these to the hospital as coming home outfits!

Henry also got his little gift for either Baby Boy or Baby Girl and they are ready for him to give the baby... :)

A little catching up to do...

Just wanted to post a few pictures of a fun "pool day" at my cousins while my sister, her kids & my mom were in town. (yes, Aurora, I stole these right off your blog...ha! ;). Henry had SO much fun this day and didn't take a nap until 4 45...unheard of! He had so much fun playing in the pool and watching the big kids, he wasn't about to think of going to sleep! And of course, a couple little mini cupcakes helped too! Thanks Denise for hosting such a fun day!

I didn't get any pictures of my sister with H. That always seems to happen since when she comes in town, I let her take pictures...she does a much better job! I love the last picture of my mom with all the grandkids...soon to be one more!

We had such a great week with my family and thanks to them, we got our garage cleaned and re-organized, table legs sanded and my sister and I were able to paint and do a treatment to give it that antique look! (pictures to come!) Now all the is left is refinishing the top...that's going to take a while...

1 day shy of 34 week appt

This morning I had a doctor's appt and all my stats plus baby's are looking great! It's so hard to believe that I go back in 2 weeks and then it shifts to weekly appts until the baby is born. Today's appt was mainly over how we would like labor/delivery to play out, my thoughts on what I want to do for pain control, etc. Wow, another milestone that tells me that a baby is coming...soon!! ha! :). Henry was going to play with some friends this morning during my appt and Kit was suppose to go to work like normal but, Henry woke up with a fever...I'm pretty sure it's nothing but teeth but didn't want to take a chance of him sharing with friends :). Anyway, Kit was so sweet to come back home and agreed to watch Henry for me this morning since I already rescheduled this appt once before. But, when he came home he said he'd really like to come with me so we decided it would be fun to make a family morning out of it and Kit and Henry got to join me for the appt!

Plus, since I was such a good girl at the appt, I was treated to Steak 'N Shake :)

Maternity Photography Session

So, all our visitors left this morning so I'll starting updating the blog again! We have had so much having visitors, Henry did not like having an empty house after everyone left today. He.was.pitiful. We appreciate everyone who has travelled to see us recently...you have kept us busy and made July fly by!! We have loved it! It's so hard to believe this Sunday is August 1st which means the baby will be making his/her appearance either in August or September!

Boy, is it hot in Georgia right now! whew! We had such a fun maternity session with Tate and I think this might just be the most fun we've had with her yet. Last night we started out at our down town and ended up at a farm. A really, really sweet couple from church allowed us to use their land and it's amazing what you will do to get good pictures :) From getting the cars muddy, to sweating like crazy, walking in tall grass, poop and thinking I was about to be mobbed by ducks, a great time was had by all. At least we had boots on...poor Tate (& Amy) only had their flip flops! :)

The funny thing about these are...I told Tate I didn't want alot of pics...just a couple to hang in the nursery/photo album. HA! We got so many good ones...it's going to be SO hard to choose and there is NO WAY I can only get one or two. The ones I posted are my favorites...there are so many others that are good too but these I LOVE...what do ya'll think?

Girls Night out

Whew, is it HOT around here! We've been staying cool by staying in and just relaxing this week. Of course from pictures you can see we are doing a little extra baking/cooking in the kitchen and everyone seems to be enjoying that. Kit is REALLY enjoying it and Henry loves sitting on the countertop, watching all the food prep, especially when the mixer is going.

H & Mallory doing a little coloring.

Hanging out on the couch together.

Last night after supper, we headed out to the movies and enjoyed a Girl's Night Out watching the movie Despicable Me. It was very cute :)

MmmmMMmmm

Wordless Wednesday

Baking with Malberry

Henry calls Mallory "Mal-berry" and it is so cute! We thought we'd bake today since they called for rain, but wouldn't you know, we've yet to see a drop...it's just sunshine and hot,hot,hot!!!

Anyway, we decided to try these sunflower cupcakes from one of her recipe books...we had a problem with the icing being too soft but they are still cute :)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Memaw/Mom! We hope you have a great day today!

We Love you!!

Our surprise guest has arrived and Henry is smitten!

Boys & Dirt just go together...

32 weeks...

...Yup, I can still see my toes! :)

Happy 19 months, Henry!

You sure do color our life with joy!

A Birthday Message for...

... We hope you have a great day today, Auntie Shana!!

:)

It's just pitiful...

...when your baby is sick!

Henry has now started to feel under the weather. He's had a fever for a couple of days now and the poor thing has just been miserable at times with fever and all. We went to doctor today and got the word that it is just something viral but the sad news is we were suppose to leave in the morning to see this sweet girl...oh yeah, and her parents! ;)

Henry is a little better today and as much as I am dying to see The R Family & their new home, I know Henry probably needs the rest more and a trip isn't going to help his little body get over it...not to mention the fact that I would feel just awful if little Olivia caught something too (oh yeah, and her parents)!

But to say I'm bummed doesn't even explain it :(. This was my last "free" weekend of travel since I am so far into the pregnancy so since we can't go this weekend, it'll have to be something we do at a much later date and that makes this 'aunt' very sad! But on the bright side, we'll have two kids then!

So we'll spend a nice, quiet weekend at home and although right now he doesn't feel much like running in the yard...

We step out to get some fresh air, watch Gisele play, and then go back inside to cool off with some...

"Nana- stawbrury smooties"

But...

he needs to get to feelin' better real soon because he doesn't know it yet but he has a very special visitor coming to see him next week!
