Change of Dress

For Meredith's wedding all of the bridesmaids went to try on the dress that I posted last time, but instead we ended up choosing another dress that's going to be really cute. Everyone really liked it, and it looked so great on all of our shapes and sizes.

Upcoming Wedding

I thought I would share that my best friend Meredith is getting married, and three of her five bridesmaids will be very pregnant in her wedding so she had the task of finding a maternity appropriate dress. Here is a link to a picture, I think she did a great job, the dress is really cute. The color is watermelon, and we get to try on the dress next Saturday, so I will post some pictures. It will be funny to see what it looks like on now and then again when the wedding comes on May 21st!

What a lazy day

Go Heather you can do it!!!!!! Just a little encouragement for my best friend!

I have laid around all day and I'm pretty ok with that lol. Carter has been in and out watching and petting the puppies, he is completely obsessed with them! Joel has been helping his friends parents move all day, Joel is a totally good friend to have! I have been on the internet all day looking at baby stuff and making a wish list on everything from walmart to overstock to diapers.com Diapers really are better to buy online in bulk! Plus walmart ships diapers to your house for free, we are going to start stocking up on size 1's and 2's and some newborns. I'm really excited to do the baby room, I'm ready to find out what it is so I can start. I have lots of ideas! I will post some pictures of items I have in mind.

More pictures from 2010

This summer and fall 2010

These are just a few pictures of the things that went on this summer!

On Randy and Sandras boat at Lake Waco, Carter caught a dead fish, yuck

More pics to come!

Doc Appt

Today I had a doctors appt, my doc's name is Dr. Micus and she's pretty awesome. Joel wasn't able to come to this appt he is trying to save all of the leave he can so he can take time off after the delivery. Everything is good, I heard the heartbeat today so that was exciting, he/she was squirming around so it didn't last very long. I will probably have an ultrasound around the beginning of March. The appt will be over at Fishpond SW and the doc said of the 11 years they have been ultra sounding they have never gotten the sex wrong! That's a pretty good tract record. Joel wants to get a 3 or 4D ultrasound so we will be looking into that after the official ultrasound. So all in all it was a good visit, next one will be Feb 10th. They also gave me some free stuff from the formula and diaper companies! They have really stepped it up since I had Carter because now everything is way more stylish! After the appt I went and worked with Scott in Waco and I got to go with him out to Bush ranch to do a inspection for a shipment of trees. It was so freaking cool, he showed me all of the guest houses and part of the property. There are several bike trails and they have a guy that rides the trails and removes any brush that might be in the way before the Bush's take a bike ride lol

Back with News

Wow, I haven't posted anything since June lol well I gave it a good shot! I started to follow Craig and Rhianna's blog and it reminded me that I had one, so here goes another short spurt of postings! Joel and found out we were expecting, so a little one will be due July 24th 2011. We are definitely going to find out what it is, don't know when yet though, probably around the first of March. Symptoms so far: everything bad. But it has slowed and I am finally getting my energy back and food doesn't come up as easy anymore lol. Joel has been a real trooper, he's been taking charge when I have zero energy to do anything. Plus it really helps to have a child that doesn't need much help doing things anymore. The real bummer is not liking coffee anymore, it just isn't appeasing anymore!

Soccer

Here are some good pictures of Carter playing soccer this spring, he finished up really strong, he learned a lot this season!

I'm officially a "runner" lol

No not really, but I have started to run finally. I started out slow, running when I could during a 2 mile walk. I finally ran a lap, then was like why don't I run another, and then another, and all of a sudden it was a mile without stopping. I surprised myself, but I was scared it was a fluke, so I went to the track with Joel and Carter tonight and ran a mile and a half! I couldn't believe it. I really want to keep it up so wish me luck, my one following friend! Lol

It's a go for soccer!

So Joel called Belton to see if we could sign Carter up late for soccer and they ended up extending the signups until tomorrow! What good luck!

Fort Hood

Today was a pretty surreal work day... I have certain inspections that I have to do on Fort Hood and today was the first day I have been on base since the shooting. It was sort of a "pit of you stomach" feeling with the thought of being so close to such a horrific event. I pray for the grieving families that were involved, and that they will be able to find peace.

Slow day....

So today was a pretty wet dreary day at work :( but I made it through relatively dry. Carter had a good day at daycare, he's got a Valentines party coming up and he's totally siked about it...and yes I did say "siked" lol We tried to sign Carter up for soccer in Belton, but I completely missed the due date, so I guess we look forward to t-ball now. I decided to figure out little workouts I could do around the house, and we have a step down between the kitchen and our bedroom, so I decided to do some calf raises yesterday on that step. OMG my calves are so sore, I can't even straighten my legs because the back of my knees are soooo sore. It's really sad, but I am determined to have some sweet high heel legs by summer!

My son Carter...

Joel and me...

Alright already....

My friend Heather has had enough of me not writing anything, so here I am. I will start with an introduction of my little family. I have a wonderful husband named Joel, and a sweet 4 year old boy named Carter. We currently live in Moody, which is a good location because I am from McGregor, and Joel is from Chilton, so it's centrally located to lots of grandparents :)
