We're having another GIRL!!

Say hello to our Baby Girl!! She is 19 weeks in these pics. So thankful that she cooperated for us to be able to tell what she was. I was thinking it was a boy, so I have been having to rethink things. But I am very excited for another girl and for Braelyn to have a sister to be friends with. We praise God for this new life He is forming and growing! In the picture above it is a profile picture like she is laying on her back, head on the left. They said she was very photogenic.


The picture above is another profile pic, but she is turned around the other direction...head on the right.

Below, is what I like to call her "scary" face. :) Her face is right in the middle and it is like she is looking right at you. I call it scary, bc it looks skeletal still . Her body is on the right side.
The next few pics she is in the same position, her face is right in the middle. looks like she has her head on a pillow. her body is on the right again. and that is her arm along the bottom, with her hand next to her cheek.

Below, is mainly a shot of her arm, you can see a little bit of her face.
Just a couple of shots of her feet.
And finally she decided to play peek a boo with Braelyn :) You can see both of her hands are raised up in front of her face.
So these are some pics of our sweet baby girl. We are looking forward to another girl. That means less shopping for me and we get to use a lot of the stuff we already have again. We are working on finding a name, but I struggle with girl names, so hopefully we will have one before January! Please continue to pray for a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
We will be celebrating Braelyn's 2nd birthday soon! Hard to believe in less than a month she will be two! I have to get to work on figuring out her cake. She is having an Elmo bday party at the park. Hope you all have a good weekend.

The cutest Froggie ever!

I know these are a lot of froggie pics, but I just thought they were too cute to leave any of them out! This is Braelyn's froggie towel, which she LOVES! She will walk around the house with it on and just want to sit with it beside her. thank you Kohls!


I think this one, above, is one of my favorites.
This is a picture of Braelyn at the library with her friend, Madelyn. We went once a week for a few weeks, then we have just been busy lately. It is an amazing library with a GREAT place for kids. We had a playdate there....nice and air conditioned!!! :)
And here we have some pics of one of Braelyn's favorite things.....going to the park with Dada. She gets to ride in the buggie while Dada pulls her on the bike. Then they usually play in the creek and playground, while Mommy enjoys a few minutes of alone time. :)
So that is some of what we have been doing in July. Aaron is starting to study some for his boards, which he will take in September.
oh, I got a haircut yesterday, which was much needed. I think i try to set a record for how long I can go in between haircuts. All the kids at church were getting haircuts for back to school, and it inspired me to do the same. Getting a new haircut made me want to go get some new clothes, but unfortunately, I'm in the in between stage where my clothes are getting pretty snug, but maternity clothes are still too big. so......i'll just postpone that shopping trip for now.
hope everyone has a good weekend.

Time with family in July

We were excited to have some of our family come and visit us in July. My brother and sister and their families were able to come one night. We are all on the train above, but Jackson is hiding and unfortunately you can't see too well bc of the shadows. But we had a great time riding the train, feeding the ducks, going to the nature center, and playing in the creek and playground. The usual park adventures.


Just about a week ago we were excited to have Aaron's Mom and sister, Laura, and her kids, Caryss and Gavin come to visit too. Again we enjoyed the usual park adventures and had a great time.
I was excited to get a picture of the three of them together! It will be going on the fridge soon :) Braelyn loves pictures as much as her mommy.
And these last pics are a little out of order......4th of July! We decided to head home and visited with both of our families for the holiday. We are so thankful that we live close enough to go home and visit on the weekend if we want.


Great Granddaddy Jones with me and Braelyn.
Braelyn with her Granddaddy and Nana.

So thankful for both of our families and the time we get to be together with them.

Pictures from June

Looks like Braelyn is saying "Does this swimsuit make me look fat?" :))

I know pics aren't as exciting as videos, but I still haven't mastered the uploading videos yet. So here are some pics from June. Mainly just showing a few things Braelyn enjoys doing.....swimming in her pool, swinging, and painting. We also have been going to the park more lately and playing in the creek and playing on the playground.







It's hard to believe that it is already August. I am 16 and a half weeks now. We should find out on August 20th, hopefully, what we are having!!! I am very excited to find out. I really have no idea what it will be. We are starting to look for Braelyn a twin bed to put in her room. Then at some point we have to clean out our guest room and try to figure out where we will put all of that stuff to make a baby room! On a random note...we got new phones this past weekend and aaron and I now have texting plans!! Yes, we are catching up and will now be texting :) and sending pics. I have three weeks of teaching at church on wed nights, then AWANAS will kick off. I plan on helping with that. I LOVE Awanas. It's such a great opportunity to help the kids learn about verses and how hiding them in their heart can really change their lives. We have gotten to have some good conversations the last couple of weeks in our classes and I am thankful for that. I think the kids have learned a lot this summer...to the glory of God.
Hope you all have a good week. Hopefully more pics from July soon.
