We had a great time at the fall for Jesus festival!

Granny and Troy at Hollywild on the Safari bus. I really thought I loved this place but ohmygosh, I have changed my mind!  There were chickens just walking around the restroom and my poor lil guy was scared to death to go potty. I told one of the workers and she said "oh, they just wander around wherever they want". Ugh. This visit really grossed me out. We are strictly a Christmas Lights visitor from now on. Chickens dancing and poopin around the potty is just gross! I skipped all the animal pictures, because if you've seen them once, you've seen them a hundred times!

We have had a really great weekend. Friday, we went to the Fall for Jesus Festival. I loved seeing so many people I haven't seen in so long. My favorite cousin from Walhalla was even there! My new Oktoberfest! Well, the Oktoberfest is in Walhalla and I used to really look foward to it because you just see everyone there. The past few times I've went I really haven't seen anyone. Guess I'm getting old!   We had some friends over to watch the Georgia/Carolina game! Wahoo, Go GAmeCoCks! I have one very happy husband! 

11 weeks

I'm really having a hard time blogging. For one, I can't type with Brucke reading behind me or Troy climbing around in my lap. Yes, we still have a desktop and it's in the living room. Also, I feel like I  need to be by myself to think and type clearly. Ha, thats hardly ever! Anyway, Baby Update!  Today I am 11 weeks and 1 day. Wahoo! With Troy, I wasn't nearly as sick as I am this go round. BUT, I'm starting to feel much better! YaY! I also had my first ultrasound appt on friday, Aug 13th. Well, friday the 13th is def. a bad luck day.  My doctor's ultrasound equipment wasn't working, BOO! then, he was really pretty rude about the whole thing, and he didn't make over the fact that my husband took off work for this and my son was there to see the baby. Troy was so sweet, too. He told the dr that his mommy had a baby in her belly and really just talked his ears off and the dr. didn't even acknowledge him. Horrible appt.! Anyway, I switched Doctors! So, 2 fridays later, I had another appointment with the same group of Dr.s I  had with Troy.  It went sooo much better. Great ultrasound pictures and found out I am about a week further along than I thought. Honestly, I switched Dr.s to begin with so I could deliver at AnMed, But too bad cause I switched back to old faithful and am delivering at St Frances again.  Well, my timing is up, Troy wants to sit in my lap and is crawling all over me and my grammar, spelling and run on sentences will drive me nuts later when I read this. BUT, atleast I blogged! HAHA! Happy Sunday everyone!

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!
