Happy Birthday Laura!

Happy Birthday Laura! We hope that you had a wonderful day :)

Fall Harvest

A couple of weeks ago Kane's parents were VERY busy cutting beans. Kane missed out helping do to his work schedule at the refinery. So, one sunny afternoon Lydia and I loaded up lunch and headed down to one of the fields. After we ate Lydia was invited to take her very first ride in the combine. I of course rode with her. There is a perfect little set for a passenger. If you remember from a past post, Lydia LOVED riding in the tractor while we were planting in the spring. However, the combine was a totally different story. She pretty much cried for the first two minutes. And when your only going 3.8 miles per hour I knew I had to find a way to cheer her up or it was going to be a long circle back to our car. I quickly started asking her about Frost (Grandma and Papa's dog) and that seemed to do the trick. She was sure ready to "get out" when we circled back around. We still have sunflowers to cut so maybe we will try again with daddy.

Papa, Lydia and me getting ready to take off!

I think we are trying to get out...I had a hard time getting the door open.
This is my favorite part..I love watching it!

Lots of beans..Lydia did think that was pretty cool :)

Happy Birthday Little Brother

Happy Birthday little brother! I can't believe that you are 27 today...boy, we are growing up. I hope that you have a wonderful day.

Lydia is not too sure about the facial hair in this picture..she is trying to figure it out.

Love ya!

Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday mom OR as Lydia would say "happy birthday grandma" I hope that you have a wonderful day and take some time for YOURSELF!!!

Happy Birthday Lydia Grace

I can't believe that my baby is 2 today! It seems like just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital. And, yet she has changed so much. I decided to put a variety of pictures on this post to share a little of our last two years.

I LOVE this little girl so much..She is full of energy! She love to smile and giggle. She has such a deep belly laugh. It is hard not to join in.

Lydia, Happy birthday! We love you. I know that you will be a great big sister and I can't wait to see you in this role :)

Ok, I can't believe that I'm posting this picture! She loves to dress up and found this in a laundry basket and just had to put it on and even wanted it buckled :) I LOVE that smile..it can honestly light up a room!

20 Weeks

Last Sunday marked 20 weeks. I can't believe that this pregnancy is already half over. It is going so fast! We will be bringing home a baby soon. I am still feeling good! I am still attending aerobics and spinning. I hope to continue both until the BIG day. Which might be wishful thinking!

20 weeks

I thought it would be fun to post a picture from my first pregnancy at 20 weeks. What do you think? Boy or girl? AND Amber I have to say I really don't think I'm smaller this time around :)

First Pictures!

Last Wednesday we had an appointment to take a look at our growing baby! It was so exciting. Lydia made the trip and well, was really too busy doing other things to really care. She did perk up when she heard the heartbeat. Things went well and everything looks great. We were fortunate enough to have the same tech..she is a super sweet lady.

The first thing she said after putting the wand on my stomach was "well, there's just one" I guess after seeing my stomach she thought twins maybe?!?!? So, I'm sure you are wondering BOY or GIRL and well.....we of course didn't find out. I am leaning towards girl. However, I am reserving the right to change my mind :) Kane is still thinking boy. So, I guess at least one of us will be right!

Take a look at all the pictures. The last one is my absolute favorite. I LOVE profile pictures. We go next Wednesday morning for a regular appointment, so I will keep you posted.
