baby bump

For those who might want to "see" baby Colton, my belly certainly has a bump! :)

Chad took this picture last night, Parker was resting before bedtime on his "baby"!

Two Years Old!

Happy Birthday to our favorite little man, Parker!!

We can't believe that you are TWO!

You have completely captivated our hearts and are truly a blessing.

We are thankful everyday that God picked us to be your parents.

We love you more than you will ever know...

Parker day 1...

First Birthday

Age 2!

Thank you to everyone that helped us celebrate yesterday!! :)

It's a .....

BOY!!!!

A healthy baby boy will be joining the family in February!

Chad and I are SUPER excited to be adding another boy to our family....

we had a feeling it would be more hunting, camo, camping, fishing and all that boy stuff!

What a blessing :) We are so happy that Parker will have a buddy to play with!

We are calling baby "Colton".

here we go...

Today is the day!

We find out if the poll on here is right!

Pray for a healthy baby

and I'll post the results tonight.....

:)

Labor day weekend

1st of all... I think the voting on here really needs to be evened out! I totally feel that our little baby is going to be another boy so all of you voting pink better prepare for some blue ;)!

I can't wait to go in for the ultrasound (only 6 more days!), until then please be praying for a healthy baby and another 20 weeks of a comfortable pregnancy!

Labor day weekend is always so fun for us! We have an annual family reunion in Salado! It is lots of food, fun, playing and catching up with family that we don't get to see very often. Uncle Todd, Aunt Karen, Sarah and Mary Grace were there too from Tulsa- it was really nice to see

them (i really wished yall lived closer!!)! This year I invited Erica, the twins and Jack to tag

along since we were both husband-less for the weekend. Going from one kiddo to four is definitely a way to add more excitement to the day! Parker had a BLAST playing in the creek with the kids, cousins and tadpoles. "Papa" and "Mawmaw" (Parkers attempted version of Grandpa and Grandma) were there and had lots of quality time with their FAVORITE grandson (at least for a few more months!)! I packed 2 full sets of extra clothing and after 30 minutes of being at the ranch - we had gone through 2 pairs of shorts, 3 diapers and decided to go shirtless! I think for an almost two year old, more dirty=more fun!

Chad and I are also in the process of moving soon! :) We have a wonderful opportunity to move into a brand new home in south College Station. We were able to pick out the street, lot and floorplan of our choice and will be moving around Thanksgiving. Words truly cannot explain the joy and excitement that will come with this move, we will have plenty of room for our growing family and lots of visitors! We hope that with this move - we will feel even more capable of opening our home and lives up to the people around us for fellowship and friendship. So, mark your calendars! The weekend after Thanksgiving we will need lots of volunteers moving boxes :) My belly will be much larger by then!

First day of Preschool (and other pics!)

Parker (and mommy) had a great first day of preschool! Parker seemed to love it, had very little problem with kissing mommy bye bye and was ready for nap by the time we made it home! Success! I am really looking forward to this Fall and having him in school :)

Picture Update....

Here is a picture of Parker shooting a BB gun  (in his little undies) with our friend, the Game Warden Jason... (does that make a 1 1/2 yr old shooting a bb gun safe??) 

And I don't only shoot guns... I love to shoot my bow too! 

And sometimes when daddy's working, I even play with mommy's makeup! lol
