Thanks Gieses

A few of you may have heard about the slight finder binder I was in before Will and I moved back to Texas. Which we finally found out was ruled NOT my fault, yay! It totaled my car, however, and we were left with one car for Will and I to move home in. Praise the Lord, we have a wonderful family. My sister and her husband were so generous to offer us their expedition. Will and I were overwhelmed by their blessing! We just wanted to share what an amazing family we have and how the Lord can turn a catastrophe into a blessing.

What an amazing Blessing! it is the perfect mommy car. Thank you Thank you Thank you!

We love you !

Tummy Talk II- funny faces!

I mentioned in the last tummy talk that dad always drew on my mom's tummy when she was 9 months pregnant. In honor of tradition Will busted out the markers. Introducing Liam...

Will, gave him sandy blonde hair and green eyes, and really full lips. hehe.

Pregnant and Barefoot- Girl's day!

The other day Nicole invited me to join the girls and go have our nails done. I had a wonderful pedicure. If Liam should decide to come, I'll have pretty toes. Ella gave her best friend, Margaret a Manicure and Pedicure for her birthday. They had so much fun, they sat in one chair and looked at the adds in magazines.

The girls catching up one the latest news.

The swelling in my ankles has gone down and I now have pretty toes.

So you think you can Dance!

Congrats to Fort Worth's Joshua for Winning, So you think you can Dance! Will and I were super excited to see Josh win this year! He is insanely talented. Even though he was untrained he is able to do some amazing moves. We voted! What can I say Liam called it!

Tummy Talk

Every time my family is together and we are praying for a meal or something, and there is a pregnant girl in the family, my dad prays for the "little one in the tummy" my mom thinks it is so funny that he says tummy. Like I will be the first woman to give birth to a child from her stomach. I thought I would named this entry "Tummy Talk" in honor of my parents. I am now officially in my 9th month and I have some thoughts about Pregnancy and the little guy inside me.

Liam has been extremely active from the first time I could feel him move. Now that he has settled into a specific position it seems more like daily exercises.

Every night at 10:30 to about 11:45 sometimes later, Liam does his calf presses. He pokes his little feet out the side of my stomach and plays games with daddy. Will pushes his feet back in and then Liam moves his feet to the other side of Will's hands. It is funny to see this 2 inch bulge sticking out the side of my belly. It is very obvious when he is on one side verses the other.

I watch so you think you can dance every time I get a chance and I think that he has learned a few moves.

A little something he learned from Joshua. Liam Likes this position.

I haven't quite figured out how to connect you tube with my blog so I thought I would just add the link. I think Liam was paying attention to some of the tricks the b-boys have been doing on the show.

From Liam's feet to MY feet:

I almost made it with out my feet swelling. Today I noticed, some changes to my feet, and for some reason it is worse on my left foot. Oh the joys of pregnancy.

My belly button is now an out-ie.

This was taken on August 3, I will be 38 weeks on the 5th.

My dad and mom had a tradition to draw a face on my mom's belly when she was super prego like this. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Full Term

Here is what Baby center.com has to say about week 37...
Congratulations! Your baby is full-term! This means that if your baby arrives now, his lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away. He weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don't be surprised if your baby's hair isn't the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.

Kelley's Wedding

Kelley and Dave are hitched! I rode down to Waco a few weekends ago to go to Kelley's wedding. Kelley and I were room mates my first year at Baylor. She is awesome and was a beautiful bride!

CONGRATS Kelley and Dave!
A Shout out to all my houstonians!
The grooms cake was a 3 layer cookie cake... WOW!
BEAUTIFUL flowers!

Lone Star Park

Horse racing in Texas! While Will was still in summer school in Louisville, My parents invited me to attend a NFL Alumni function with them at Lone star Park. It may not be as famous at Church Hill Downs, but my experience with horse racing Texas style was worlds away from the Derby. We ate a buffet dinner up the "silks" tables as we watched from the, very well A.C.ed dinning room, and then went down to the track to watch the last race close up. We had been several times before, usually on Mother's day, but this was my first time back since my adventure on Derby day. I think we walked away in the black. I had a blast, thanks dad and mom for letting me tag along!

Happy Birthday Will and Cece

TODAY WILL IS 27!!!! we met his family at Maggiano's for lunch! Yum, Liam loves Italian. Singing to the twins

The Move... again.

Here are some before pictures of our new place in Addison. I have never seen anyone unload a truck so fast. The truck was completely empty with in an hour. The guys were awesome. I just stood around and directed them. Then when the last thing had been unloaded, which was the couch, everyone started to open boxes. It was literally a whirlwind. The place looked like a real apartment with in a few hours. It was crazy! Thanks to everyone who helped, you guys are awesome. Thanks to all those strong men in Louisville that helped load Will up too. We have some great friends!

Here come the boxes!

In record time!

Now here are some manly men, Jeff and Grant are setting up/ Making our bed.

My mom is giving them a few tricks of the trade.

voila!

Our bathroom is all set up too.

Since then I have decorated and organized so I will have to take some newer pics to show how everything is coming along.

A real heat wave!

So Will and I are back in Texas and are looking back to last summer when we had just moved to Louisville. We laughed at how "Hot" it was, all the weather men were talking of a heat wave. I wish all those people who complained of 10 strait days of 90 degree weather could visit Texas in August. When Will and I get into our car today this is what the thermostat said...

Yes, Kentuckians you are reading that right. 120! Now to be fair the actual temp outside it 108 today, but inside a car, well, 120 is about right.

Moving transition

We didn't fall off the face of the planet, but we will be with out Internet for the next week or so. I have so much to share and show on the blog, but it will just have to wait. We miss all our friends in Louisville and hope that all are well. Stay tuned for more from Texas!

Franklin, TN

Before mom and dad drove home with me we went to Jennifer Land's wedding. We had a great time. Mom and Dad toured the country Music Hall of fame and the Grand ol Opry. Uncle Richard showed us around Nashville and the Southern Baptist Convention building. He showed us where he does his radio Show and the offices of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission. He took us out to lunch at a very tasty Italian restaurant. When we drove into Franklin, we learned all about the history there. the wedding was beautiful, and it was so fun to see family! Here are just a few pictures from the little side trip.

Carnton Plantation served as a hospital during the Battle of Franklin.

This is the front of the house.
The cemetery was divided by states and each soldier was numbered.

Aren't they handsome!

Fourth of July

“It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!” Patrick Henry

Happy 4th of JULY!

So this is by far one of my favorite days of the year. Unfortunately Will wasn't with me, to enjoy the fireworks and yummy all American food.

Baby Will's first swim!

Wes being Mr. Helpful! He came in and asked Oma if he could do the dishes.
Then he asked Pops if he could water the plants.
Ella made some points in Washers.
Will plays Washers like a pro!I did not, I repeat, NOT make this dessert. Nicole did! I just helped with the strawberries.

Sparklers!

Will and Ella are ready to watch the fireworks show.

KABOOM!
