Couples Cook-Out

This weekend our friends hosted a Cook-Out in Baby Pates honor.. It was honestly perfect  in every way and we are very lucky to have such incredible people in our lives. It was great to have all of you together, as each of you has a very special place in our life. Thank you again for coming and helping us get ready for the arrival of " IT"...

Happy 9th Birthday Bry!

WOW... I can't believe my little boy is already 9 years old.. You always hear parents say time flys when it come to your kids growing up. I never really understood this until Bry. 9 years ago a little, okay maybe not so little 8lb 4oz screaming little boy got placed into my arms and I have been forever changed since that very moment. I thank God everyday for that little boy as he has made me who I am today.

Bry is very much a little man.. He LOVES reptiles, fishing, hunting, video games and anything else that screams "Boy". Do I dare say he loves to read? I am proud to say my son no longer wants to be a garbage man or a video game tester and has moved on to wanting to be a Veterinarian who specializes in reptiles.. Finally something Mama is on board with.


We have done a lot together in 9 years and I cant wait to see what the future holds for you. Happy Birthday Bear, We love you!!!!

3rd Trimester

Seriously.. I can't believe we are already here. Went to the Dr today. Passed my glucose test and Little Pate is growing right on schedule. I go back in 2 weeks, still can't believe I am at the 2 week visit point.. I have to admit I still feel great and don't have too many complaints.. Sleeping is prob my biggest complaint.. I can't seem to get comfortable and that really sucks as this girl loves to sleep.. The last few days have been pretty annoying as I wake around 2:30-3:30 a.m every morning and can't seem to fall back asleep till about 5. I get that maybe the baby gods are trying to prepare me for the sleepless nights ahead, but I am a big girl and will deal with it when the time arrives.

Everyone says its time to hang up the heels and switch to flats.. I'm trying , its just hard to let go of something you soo dearly love. I did get some FABULOUS shoes this weekend with a small wedge so I am making some progress in the right direction.
We are officially in the final stretch of this pregnancy. I have to admit I can't wait for it to be over for many reasons..For starters we get to meet " Tiny" and welcome it into our wonderful world, but I'm ready to get my body/wardrobe/WINE back.

Here are the latest shots of " Tiny's" living arrangements...I asked Brycen the other day if he thought I could win a beauty contest and his exact answer was " NOT WITH THAT BELLY". Got to love your kids for keeping it real!
