Panama City Beach, FL

We are not missing.....we have been on vacation! I have tons of pictures to post but we have been so busy that I haven't stopped to post any. Panama City, Florida is gorgeous and we are enjoying this week and doing some major relaxing. Here are a couple of pictures to prove just how perfect this place is....



I will post more photos soon. We are off again this morning....busy day ahead!

30 weeks

I can't believe I'm already 30 weeks and this is the first belly picture we've taken! Time has gone by so fast this time. I guess because we have Presley to chase around and keep us busy. Here it is....me at 30 weeks with our sweet baby boy!

I feel great and have the majority of the pregnancy. I was sick some at first but only every few days. And it only lasted a few weeks so that was much more pleasant than when I was pregnant with Presley! We've known this baby was a boy since 14 weeks. Well, not 100% at that time but our doctor really thought boy and it was confirmed at 17 weeks. We are so excited and blessed to be adding a baby brother to our family! I had to stick this picture in because P wanted to be in the picture so bad.
Baby brother is due to arrive August 12th - only 10 weeks from now! We are starting to get anxious and I have to get busy on getting his room ready. Hopefully that process will start soon and I'll have pictures to share of that.

Memorial Day

We had a great Memorial Day! It involved lots of time in the inflatable pool! Saturday Sara, Gavin, Amarah and Landon came over and beat the heat with some splashing. I had bought Presley a life jacket for our vacation but she insisted on wearing her "jacket" to splash. Who can argue with this sweet face? At least she's willing to wear it! A pool full of cousins....

P wanted to wear goggles like the big kids. Sara and I laughed so hard....I love this kid!

And then Monday we swam again. This time it was Presley, me and Jared. I'll save you and only post the ones of Sweet P. But yes.....she did convince momma and daddy to sit in the pool and splash. I will say it felt AMAZING. It was hot and we stayed in the pool for quiet a while.
I love how serious she looks about filling up the pool....


Mom keeps saying she looks a lot like I did when I was this age. I secretly kind of like it! She has Jared's personality so I think that makes for a perfect combo!!

There will be lots more swim pictures this summer. Presley wakes up asking to "splash" so it's safe to say it's on her mind a lot!

Swim Fun

The night before last it was storming and we were watching for tornadoes. Last night it was 89 degrees and we let Presley splash in her pool. Gotta love Texas weather! Presley was so excited about putting on her swim suit and playing in the water. She said "momma I splash" a million times!

She was such a busy little girl that I couldn't get a picture of her face. She moves constantly and if she sees me taking her picture then she says "I see Presley" and insists I let her see herself on the camera. This girl is scared of nothing! It took her about 2 seconds to figure out if you get a running start you can make a huge splash in the pool. She giggled the whole time!






I do think we are going to have to get a bigger pool though. After a few cannon balls she had splashed out most of the water!






Ahhh....all that splashing is hard work!

Weekend Fun!

I'm cute and I know it!
I just want to eat this little girl up! I put her hair into a pony tail for the first time and she looks so big. My baby is a toddler now!



She wanted to be outside all weekend and so we played and enjoyed lots of sun and fresh air. She loves standing in Daddy's rock crawler! And I love that she will wear sunglasses. So dang cute!
And all I can say here is SASSY and getting way to big!
And I finally have started to work on getting some things for our sweet little boy's room. I found this rug at Target and loved the colors. The picture is from my phone so it's a little blurry but I want something that isn't too nursery themed and that way I can use it for a long time. So I thought this was perfect! And I think it goes well on the dark floors. I haven't bought any other decor other than this but it's a start right? We still have 14 weeks left and I plan on getting busy after we get back from vacation in June. I have lots of ideas in my head!







We have not purchased a baby bed yet but we plan on it. Presley still sleeps in hers and hasn't tried to bail out so we will be leaving her as long as we can ride that train! When I go in to get her up in the mornings she always stays laying down and sticks her feet through the slats and props them on the wall. She seems happy just chilling so we will let her! I saw this one at Babies R Us the other day and really like it. It's a dark brown, nearly black and I think it looks masculine. Presley's bed is white and girly so I want baby brother to have something that says "boy". It can make into a daybed and then a twin bed so we could get lots of use out of it!


It's my favorite so far (and I've been shopping online forever). This bedding is pretty cute too but I still think I want to go with the rug and the colors on it. That's it for now....all the remaining details are in my head but to everyone who has been asking.....I promise to get the room done before he gets here! :-)

Nothing too exciting going on this week. It's gone very SLOWLY for me. I am so glad it's Friday....I am one tired chic! I had an ultrasound appointment Monday. It was the diagnostic one and everything looks good on baby brother. He's healthy and active! We took Presley with us and she was so good. She sat quiet and just watched the flatscreen on the wall. She could not have been better. We stopped for ice cream on the way home since she had been such a big girl for us! She's miss independent and HAS to eat the ice cream herself. I couldn't get her to look at me because she was too busy shoveling the spoon into her mouth!

Yesterday I went back to the doctor and did my glucose test. Yuck! It wasn't too bad drinking it (taste like orange crush) but it's so sweet that I was light headed and jittery after drinking it. So I'm a little nervous that I might not have great results. I am crossing my fingers tho! My appointment wasn't until 3:30pm so I went ALL day without eating. I know it's okay to eat protein but I was so afraid I'd accidentally eat something I shouldn't and I do not want to have to redo this test! By the time I got home I was TIRED. We have a busy weekend scheduled but hopefully there will be time for a nap!

Egg Hunt

Saturday we went to my Dad's house for an Easter Egg hunt. This year Presley was actually big enough to carry a basket and look for eggs. She is getting so independent!

I'm horrible about getting pictures with me in them so I asked Sara to snap one during the hunt. I wish Presley was smiling but I still love it!
She was pretty good at finding eggs. Jared helped her get in the general area of an egg but she was quick to grab them up. And....we had been letting her practice with empty eggs so she didn't know there was candy in these. Ha! It worked out good because she didn't want to stop and open them while she was hunting. She would just pitch them in the bucket and move on.

She somehow sweet talked Daddy into holding her basket while she grabbed eggs!

There were some hidden in trees and Presley spotted them and then insisted Daddy get them for her.

My sister Sara and her daughter Amarah....and she argues that they don't favor!

Amarah, Presley, and Gavin....cousins examining thier loot.
