showering baby #2

baby boy number 2 has still not been named, even though i set a deadline of todays shower. but i think we are starting to narrow down the choices...finally!

max is insisting that the baby's name is jesus. sorry dude, this was no immaculate conception :)

some very special friends threw an awesome brunch in honor of baby #2 at joe t's in fort worth. yummmmyyyyy!

the wonderful hostesses lynds, kristin, andrea, and kristin (and a 33 week pregnant me!)

yummy treats and friends jessica and kate

father's day and the fourth

since joey was in zambia on father's day, we celebrated both before, during, and after his trip.

g and pop helped daddy raise money by buying max a flying monkeys tshirt

while joey was gone, we had dinner with my dad and stepmom in the square in decatur. they were having a cowboy festival so after dinner we enjoyed some of the fun!

after joey got home, we went to the movie tavern to see cars 2. happy late father's day!

and on to the 4th of july! what better way to spend these hot summer days then in the pool.

max loves to swim and is quite the little fish. i guess swimwithkyle.com does work :)

showing off his "tricks" with daddy

and finally we enjoyed the lake cities 4th of july festival with our church family. max enjoyed the fireworks and let us know that "i not scared".

i love my family (even if we are hot and sweaty!)

june 2011

so, our life has been just a bit crazy the last month. it's funny bc i thought last summer that june was nuts with a 2 week trip to honduras, swim lessons, a sinus surgery, and a new job. not true, my friends, not true. summer 2010 had nothin' on summer 2011.

here's the short version of our lives in the last month and why i'm so happy to be entering a new month and hopefully a more simple one too.

week 1: 1/2 of our move, joey's birthday celebrations, dinner with lots of people to say hi and goodbye, and part time swim lessons

week 2: full time swim lessons, joey's preparation and then bon voyage to zambia, a drs appt for me and baby, and father's day fun

week 3: still in the pool 6 hours a day, husband still on the other side of the world, a tenant to lease our house is found, a planned drs appt for max, and attempts to keep my sanity by spending time with friends

week 4: swim lessons complete, husband home and safe, a spontaneous drs appt for max, packed and moved our entire house in about 2 days, and trying to get settled in a new home

oh and did i mention, that i'm 32 weeks pregnant today, it's also our 7th anniversary, and we have a huge church event on monday that joey is doing on his own bc the other pastors are out of town.

so, i'm ready for july and hopefully some rest. and that starts right now. we are taking a break from the chaos and escaping into the world of some beloved disney characters with our car obsessed little boy.
