Baby Showers & BBQ's

I had some very WONDERFUL ladies throw me a amazing baby shower!!! It was so nice having a womens brunch, especially since I got to leave my kids at home! Here is a picture of me at 37 weeks pregnant. (My last pregnancy picture) I got a lot of really nice things for the baby, it is so nice to have such amazing people in my life that have such warm hearts. Thank you so much to Jennifer & Delaina & my mommy for putting together such a sweet baby shower for me! And thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with me!

YUMMY FOODS!

This summer we had a BBQ at our house which turned out to be a family celebration for the upcoming arrival of little JC. All of Ricks co-workers came over for great foods and fellowship. My mom bought an amazing cake, and everyone brought gifts for the baby. It was really fun, and I ate wayyyy tooo much! Me and Rick were so happy that so many people have thought about us. Once again, I have gotten to enjoy my pregnancy with another wife at the station. When I was pregnant with Ricky another wife at the station was pregnant with a little boy, and this is the same this time. Kelly is Due Oct. 15 and I am Due Oct 4. We are both having a baby boy. This picture was of me and Kellly and somehow the husbands jumped in...next to the wrong wife. The DELICIOUS Red Velvet Cake my mom ordered!!! MMMMMM Rick, Me, & JC (in utero)

Risky Beach Mini-Vacation

A few weeks ago for the Labor Day weekend, we decided to take a small risk against dr.'s orders and go down to the Corpus Christi, Port Aransas area. I had been planning this trip for about 2 months and was not going to let anything stop me from going. So 2 weeks before we were supposed to leave at my OB appt. the Dr. told me that my cervix was already thinning and effacing. Then a week before we were supposed to leave I had dilated to a 1, by the week of our trip I was dilated close to a 2!!! When I told the Dr. we were going on a 7 hr road trip he freaked out!!! He advised me to stay home, and was scared that if I went I would go in labor some where along the 3 hour span of highway. I think the whole way there Rick's heart was pounding, I don't think he wanted to deliver his son alone on the highway. Luckily we made it there and back safely with no surprises from baby JC.

We had a great time, and I am so happy that we went! We enjoyed the beach, the state aquarium, visiting with friends, and staying at the hotel! The had some AWESOME mexican food too! The kids and Rick enjoyed capturing crabs and mussels, while I enjoyed sitting in a chair with my feet propped up and watching them have a good time.

1st Day of School

Eevie started 2nd grade this year, and is LOVING it! She has a great teacher named Mrs Varga & ended up in class with quite a few of her friends from the past few years! This year was really special because Granny took the morning off to take her to school for the first day.

Ricky also started school this year! This was really hard for me, because in 4 years he has never been anywhere without me or family. Rick and I both took him for the first day, and he didn't even want us to give him a kiss! He didn't have any tears or fears and went right in and had a great day!!! We decided that with him going to Kindergarten next year he needed to learn to go to school by himself. He is already prepared for Kindergarten socially and academically, but we weren't sure how he would do with seperation. We realize that he will do just fine seperating when he gets to kindergarten!

Rangers Game

Back in August we went to a Texas Rangers Baseball game & we had a lot of fun. We had great seats right on the field and were in the shade the whole time! I wasn't happy about spending $20 on 4 snacks but that is the beauty of going to any kind of function, they can charge whatever they want for everything.

Cowboys Stadium

Augi spent a couple of days with us & ended up going to the ball game too. We had a fun time!
