Due Soon! cont.

OK, I had to make sure it was ok to show Ashley's beautiful belly. She approved! So here are a couple more images we captured of the "glowing" expectant parents.

                                                        Are they happy or what?

          Ashley and John, thank you so much. Paisley will be as beautiful as she has made Ashley's belly.

Due Soon!

Did I have fun today! This is my niece and her husband. They are expecting a baby girl very soon (remember the baby shower).  We had a great photo session with many great images from which to choose. I really had a difficult time choosing one. So Ashley and John, enjoy! Can't wait to show you the rest of them. 

My friend, Liz

I knew it, I knew it I knew it! I am terrible at keeping up! 

For all of you that frequent my blog, please don't give up on me.

 I will try to do better. 

Anyway, this is my friend Liz. I meet LIz 3 years ago on a school bus. She and her

 family had just moved here from the Chicago area.  We were going on a field trip with the SEARCH class from school to see the "working" lighthouse on Lake Hefner. We 

talked like we had been friends for years. Needless to say, we became very

 good friends. She joined our Bunco group, so all my Bunco friends got to 

know Liz, too. Well, this is our departing picture. Liz's husband got 

transfered to Millwaukee. They moved away this summer. I am so sad. 

She always gave me a hard time about putting on make up and she always

 looked so good without it. So this is for you Liz, no make up in our

 departing pic. She actually lives in Wauwatosa. Now that is a fun name! 

Got the Message

I heard you "growin' with it". I will do better, really. I've got to work on the time management thing. I don't have any pictures to go with this post so I will show what the boys are up to now-a-days. What? Did I her you say "Where are their helmets and I hope that there is a good insurance policy and prayer life going on?!" 

Our Staycation

Ok, I've got to get the hang of this. Maybe when the boys go back to school, (Thurs., yea!) I can get the computer back. However, I will say we were on "staycation" and I did not bring my "desk top" with me. So, I'll try to catch up now that I have to get back to reality. We went to Pops in Arcadia. Did you guess? We only had to wait 30 min. I here that is a short wait. We may have to go back at night sometime to see the pop bottle lit up. We then drove to the round red barn. Can't go that far and not see the round red barn! While we were there, we took a tour of Arcadia. We looked left then right and we were done. Amazing little town. Enjoy our staycation pics.

The boys got to pick from the many flavors and brands of pop. Cory picked his by the uniqueness of the bottle. Jarrett picked his by flavor. Orange Crush was his favorite. Of all the flavors and brands from which to pick, something as common as OC.

This old building is what we saw when we looked left. This was the beginning of Main Street. The house next to it was the end. heehee  No, just kidding.

The Baby Shower

We had a baby shower for my niece on Sunday. Do those cookies look yummy or what? And that cake, it was amaaazing! The wire topper was so unique. At the end of each wire  was a cute little bobble. (Did I just say bobble?) I love this one with the tiny feet. Amy, you did a fantastic job getting all of this together.

Are these sisters beautiful or what? The two younger ones are looking forward to being an aunt. And Mom of all 3 cannot wait to be "Nana".

The blankie matches the baby's nursery, which, I might add, is adorable. Be watching for more of this story. I'll be following it closely.

Beat the Heat

Remember this? Think... cold, wet, freezing rain, snow, ice... is it helping? We were so tired of the cold and ice. Well, It's hot here and I could use some of that cold again. Record breaking temps and a "cold" front that may bring temps down in the 90's. hmm
