Good weekend

Well, we had a great whirlwind weekend in Tulsa. The land closing went smoothly, and, while the next step is still uncertain, I am glad to have it over and done with.

While there, I went to witness one of my best girlfriends from high school get married. The weather was perfect, the setting was amazing, and she looked beautiful. Best wishes Melissa and Benjamin!


After celebrating one wedding, I was excited to come back home and read on Melanie's blog today that Chris and Mindy finally got engaged! Congrats you two! We can't wait to celebrate your big day with you too.

Dancing with the Stars

Ok, in the last few seasons, I have joined the Dancing with the Stars love. I have to make a comment about last nights performance (which I just now watched -- yay for DVR). Did anyone else feel incredibly bad for Kim K. dancing to "Baby Got Back?" Plus, it was awkward. Poor girl! If she survives this time around, hopefully they won't give her anything that bad again....

On the other hand, I am already trying to pick my favorite, but I am torn. My early support goes to....Misty May-Treanor or

Susan Lucci
I like them both for different reasons. I guess we will see who wins out.

Baby Showers and getting bigger

Well, I had a doctor's appointment this week. The results of my glucose screening came back perfectly so we are rolling right along. My next three visits are with the other doctors in the practice so that I have met everyone who may deliver the baby. Meanwhile, here's a pic of me at 29 weeks. Only 11 weeks to go!


This week also brought my first baby shower hosted by my girlfriends at work. It was called the "Mustaches and Monocles Baby Shower," and suffice it to say, the source of that is a long story. Still, it was way over the top, we had a great time and good laughs, and Colten hauled in some good gifts. Here are some pics of it just for fun. We are headed to Tulsa next weekend to close on a piece of land we are buying and to attend a wedding. I guess I'll write more then.

Just because...

I haven't written in a while. After Silver Dollar City and a week back at work, I flew to my grandparents house to spend the weekend. We didn't do much, but that was kinda the idea. It was just good to see them and spend some down time with them and my husband.

This week, I have a doctor's appointment and a baby shower at work. I'm really looking forward to the shower becuase I work with some quirky people (and I must count myself among them), so the theme is crazy and it should be a lot of fun. We are actually home this weekend (as of now), hoping to put up crown moulding in the living room and entry way. The friend that was gonna help us though may not be able to, so that plan may get postponed.

Then, the next weekend, we are headed back to Tulsa for a wedding. It seems like it never ends. I'm getting to pregnant and tired to do all of this traveling though. I feel it coming to an end shortly (for a while at least).

On the baby front, Colten is a very active boy and rarely do I get a moments peace from kicking, rolling and pushing. Of course, I wouldn't have it any other way! :) As a side note, we still can't decide on a middle name for him. Any suggestions?

Silver Dollar City

Well, I survived Silver Dollar City. I had forgotten how steep the hills you have to walk around on are so by the end of the day, my back was killing me but everyone came through okay (including the babies). We had a great time despite a soggy start. It was fun to get to spend some time with my sisters. After we got done in Branson, we drove to my grandparents house to spend the night. We had a good time seeing them and a couple of cousins (including one who is pregnant and due about a month before my sister and I). There are just babies everywhere. I flew home last night and pretty much collapsed, exhausted from the weekend but happy to have done it. I am flying back to my grandparents house this weekend to get to spend some real time with them and enjoy some R&R. Plus, it allows me to catch up with Kevin who is working in Arkansas this week. More to come later. For now, enjoy pics from this weekend.

Labor Day weekend is done, more to come...

Well, we had a great Labor Day weekend visiting family in Georgetown. Hope everyone else had a great time as well. It was nice to have a few days off to just lounge around and eat. That's pretty much what I did all weekend (not that I'm complaining.)

Now, I have my gestational diabetes screening on Wednesday (I'm sure that will be fun.). Then, this weekend, we are off to Tulsa. Actually...we are off to Silver Dollar City in Branson. Every year, my sister has taken our two youngest sisters on a trip for their collective birthdays. Usually, they come to Six Flags and stay with us. However, with both of us expecting, Six Flags didn't seem like much fun (for the rides or heat). We decided Silver Dollar City would be fun for the girls and still have things that we could do. Plus, our husbands are tagging along so they can ride rides with the girls. It should be fun and a bit cooler than Six Flags would be. I'm really looking forward to it.

Guess that's all I have. Better get back to work since that is what they pay me to do. :)
