Turning 29



Well I'm officially as close to 30 as I can be without actually being there...no problem...it's already been a great year and with a new baby to be born in late December, 29 can only get better!
My husband Andy LOVES surprise parties...and has thrown me some sort of surprise almost every year we've been together. This year was no different...my Mom was coming up with my nephew Zander that night, so I wasn't expecting to do anything TOO exciting Thursday night. But when Andy called and told me that there was a last minute meeting at the elementary school and his brother would be bringing over his 3 kids and we'd also have our neighbors 2, I thought, "Okay, he's planning something" But when they all showed up as planned to drop the kids off, I was thinking "Okay...no party tonight-but no big deal". So I asked Andy if we should make something quick or just order pizza. While I went to change out of my work clothes into sweats and a tshirt, everyone snuck back into the living room and yelled surprise when I walked out. Oh Andy...you are SO clever! :) So I had a Princess Party-can you guess who picked out the party decor?

She's home again!





Natalie is BACK! And I missed her terribly, but she did have a little too much fun!



Before my Mom left with the kids last week, we took them (Znder and Natalie) to the pumpkin patch at Rees' Fruit Farm...it was that terribly cold Saturday!



She also informed me last night (when she was mad at me) that I was not her Mom anymore...I was still her parent, but Erika (my sister) was her Mom now...WHAT?!



I think she is happy to be home and get back into her routine-she was thrilled to see all her friends at school today and she's even back in time to go to the pumpkin patch tomorrow!

Missing my baby

Natalie Joy went to stay with her Grandma and Grandpa in Oklahoma...and I am missing her BAD!
She has cousins to play with, aunts and unclesto keep her entertained and I'm sure she' being stuffed of delicious food, but I still miss her! :(

They'll all be here on Saturday for my baby shower, but this week is going to be a LONG one!
