a little of this and a little of that...

We had a really great weekend! Our buds that left us and moved to Texas were in town all last week. Friday was Bruckes Birthday, so we went out to eat with his parents, aunt and uncle, and Chris and Erin. Afterwards, Troy spent the night with Granny so we could have some adult time with the Terrys. We ran into my BFF from high school, Pam and her sister Kristy. We were going to take the boat out Saturday, because T-Man has talked about last wkend all week, but we had such cloudy weather that we decided to stay home. Troy and I both have a summer head cold, blah. Brucke's boss gave us a 12 volt cadi escalade for TMan, and boy, does he love it! Thank God it wasn't blazing outside and he spend most of the day riding his cadi around the yard.  He was running a little bit of a fever, so Tylenol he got and we tried to not let him get too hot. Sunday, we skipped church. Troy and I were up early and he was a little cranky so we just stayed home. By this time, we were all getting a little bored with the staying at the house deal. Well, actually I would have been fine if I could have slept all day! I guess the pregnancy tiredness has officially kicked in, plus having a little bit of a cold.  We dosed off and on all day! The weather was GREAT this wkend and it was so nice to get a break from the heat. Also, 2 chinese websites predicted I'm having a girl! WAHOO! Anyway, we like Jayden for a girl. That came out of a baby name book in Books a Million while Erin and I were in Heaven for maybe a hour friday night! HaHa! I love that place and yummy coffee!

Weekend Fun

                         The other day, I was painting my toenails and Troy wanted his painted. I tried to explain that little boys didn't paint their toes, but he had a total meltdown. Finally I gave in and painted his.  Yes, his daddy had a fit. They were painted maybe 30 minutes!

This is the first time big boy has gotten his hair cut without sitting in my lap. Very proud of him!

I am pretty sure we docked the boat at the muddiest place on lake Hartwell! Oh well, we had a great time! We decided to have a family day, and packed sandwiches and snacks and lots of water. Brucke let Troy drive the boat, we stopped and swam, and even got to feed some ducks! I just knew the little turd would take a great nap afterwards, but boy did he show me! All day and no nap! Also, he dressed himself that morning so he is not matching at all!  Troy showed us how to "swim" and he had a ball playing in the dirt and mud!

   

We ran into some ducks and fed them chips. Later, I was eating some chips and Troy said "Ducks eat chips, not us!" HaHa!

I forgot to flip this picture, but it's extra cute!

Random Thoughts

~ I see the doctor Aug 13 for my first prenatal checkup. Yes, thats Friday the 13th!

~ I am the type of person that stresses over something until I have it figured out. I am still trying to figure out what to do with Baby Brucke. I would love to keep the baby out of daycare for atleast the first 6 months, but I can't find anyone that would keep the baby in their home after I go back to work.

~ Swimming Lessons didn't help much with Troy's fear of water... Let me rephrase that, he loves water but only water he can reach the bottom.

~Our friends are in town from Texas! Looking foward to spending time with them!

~Brucke has a birthday coming up! I am planning a cook out and my in laws bought a huge blow up water slide, so hopefully we can borrow that. The kids will have a blast!

~I've learned to like Dora.  Troy loves Dora. 

~Retail therapy has worked wonders on me lately!

Big News

I'm Pregnant!  This is a huge suprise. I'm scared and excited at the same time. I just assumed we would not have anymore children. God is good. Right now, I'm worried about how we are going to afford another child, the doctor bills, etc. Anmed still gets 20 dollars a month from 2006 when we had all those test done to figure out why we couldn't get pregnant.

Everyone wants the baby to be a girl, even Troy. He said he wants a baby sister and he was going to change her diaper. I will call the Doctor today to set up an appt. I'm thinking I'm around 5 weeks. Please keep us in your prayers!

3 year old Pictures

Last week...

We celebrated our 7th anniversary at the Melting Pot last Saturday. A little late, but better late than never! Then we went to see Eclipse! Date Nights are so fun! And, Eclipse is great if you haven't seen it!

We had a cook out Sunday to celebrate July 4th at Brucke's cousin's pool.

Troy started swimming Lessons Monday. We go early every day so he can play outside before his lesson starts. He says, "Mom, this makes me happy!"

He has a crush on his lifeguard! He gives her a gigantic hug every day before we leave. He is getting more and more comfortable in the water. I have been so impressed with the way they handle the kids!

The swim group getting some instructions.

The best part about swimming lessons is I don't have to put on a horrid swimsuit!

Funny Stuff

Brucke found Troy's toothbrush in the refridgerater the other morning.

Brucke's wallet got missing. A few hours later, we found it in one of his shoes.

Troy flushed a matchbox car and asked me to go under the house, in the pipes and get it back.

I thought I had more but I forgot. Maybe I will remember later.
