First Day of Pre-K

WHAT AN AWESOME FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Braden woke up this morning and was so excited about going to Pre-K. I couldnt of been more pleased with how he behaved. Good attitude, silly attitude. He told me how proud he was of me lol for his lunch. (Which they didn't look for in his locker so he ate hot lunch - but is currently sitting at the table wanting to eat his lunch)

I think Parker was happy for his Brother. Such handsome lil boys I have.
Our car ride of course got interrupted by a policeman, daddy got a warning. Didnt slow down fast enough. DORK.
I was trying to get him to smile but silly faces is what I got. I kinda felt like this though.
He was so Happy.
He went right to a place and sat down to play with Play dough, no tears, no whimpers, barely got a hug and kiss out of the child, he was happy as punch.
How about that, my child that rarely will take a nap, laid down and took a short nap.

WOOOHOOO We all did it! One day of school down, how many to go?

Move In Night - at Woodlands

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT: SCHOOL IS HERE.

Braden starts Pre-K this Thursday. We met Mrs Lively tonight, I'm positive Braden will just love her. I'm so excited for him. I'm not sure how excited he is, he was alittle over whelmed, but I'm pretty sure he will LOVE it.

"rest" --- what is that?

Well, no photos, but an update.
Went to the specialist on Friday, baby is behind again, about 3 oz's smaller then they would like to see. Placenta is rapidly aging. They are concerned. So they have put me on rest. Dont want me exerting alot of energy. Today I called to see what they are concerned about, placenta separating? preterm labor? None of the above. They feel that it is critical to get the baby everything as possible for him to grow properly and if I over do or dont eat enough or stress out my body will use it and the placenta that is already struggling will pass through less.

PLUS, I start twice a week non stress tests and one ultrasound watching the blood flow from the placenta to the baby, each week till they decide the baby needs to be born. So, we might have baby sooner then we thought.

If I get through this week I'll be golden. Braden hopefully will be starting Pre-K next week!!!! Baring no room at enrollment tomorrow. (Keep your fingers crossed). I think I can do this with one kid. But two when your not supposed to do much has been horrible.

Not to mention an unforeseen complication with my car on saturday on a road trip to Elk. GRRRR when it rains it pours!

Profile 3D

I always find humor when I get in the car to see where my belly is going to touch, if I dont exhale I'm pretty good! I didnt figure out my steering wheel will scoot in. So when I got done at the OB's today I had like 2 inches left... Hopefully that will last till delivery. LESS THAN 9 WEEKS!!!!

Did some editing to make it easier to see his outline!....
I think me might have a little combo going... the nose is definitely like Parkers.... and he has pouty lips but wouldnt show them in 3d. I've never had a thumb sucker and he had his hands up the entire time.

I went to the OB's today, go to the specialist on Friday. I wasnt expecting to see baby today, thought it was a routine visit. But imagine my shock that we did a quick ultrasound, and he flipped over to 3d!!!!!

Gosh I love technology.

Baby is weighing 2 lbs which is where he should be. So that was cool. He was nice and calm for Dr. Holmes, probably cause he didnt press hard against him and tick him off.

Ultrasound News.

Like it would fall off or something, but we are definitely still ALL BOY.
I have to say, and I know I'm basis, but oh my gosh I think we make pretty babies LOL. Not that you can see much but, he is too freaking adorable.
He definitely still has an attitude, very active, kicked at the ultrasound machine often. This lady that did my scan today had us watch as he would move his eyes around looking around. This is the first time I got to see him making the sucking motion with his mouth. SOOOO cool what technology does allow us to see.
Well I honestly thought I would go in and things would just be dandy, and for the most part they are, and most likely will be just fine but now on top of all the other worries, I have an "aging placenta" (doesnt that make me feel young)... anyways they say that it shouldn't know these signs of aging for another 6.5 weeks. BUT could mean nothing. They will have me come back in 3 weeks to check.
Baby is up to 1lb 8 oz's ..... and goodness he is a kicker!

I found out this past weekend that some of the family hadnt heard we were expecting so I apologize immensely I forget that people dont check on blogs like I do. Or dont have facebook. I totally forget to send out emails most of the time.

Summer Vacation 2010 - Lake Eufaula

Our annual family get together went off this year without much glitches, even the weather KINDA worked with us.
We spent alot of time at the trailer enjoying being with each other, eating, playing train domino's, and even got some lake time in there.
Brant, Stefani and Brock
Loading Parker Wayne on the new jet ski for his turn.
Parker definitely is three! He decided last weekend, I think it was, that he could swim without holding onto anyone. It was so nice not having someone attached to ya. Plus he enjoyed himself SOOOO much more.

Papa G, waiting to load the boat in the water.

this look was half disappointment, that i made them wait to take a photo, and excitement that they got to get in the water!
Flag, water, sun starting to set. BEAUTIFUL

July 5th, we let off fire works. The Garrison brothers did the show. We need to review firework safety I think, had a few mishaps but no one was hurt. The weather was nice and there was lots of pretty colors, lots of "THAT WAS AWESOME" coming from braden and parker watching with his ear's plugged.


The boys in their Sheriff Woody towels.
They played alot of catch.
The boys just love being out on the water. This past winter we sold our boat to Brock (brants youngest brother). We missed it this week. We will definitely be finding one next year that can hold all of us and do what we need it to do.
