Sweet Pea's First Entry!!

This is a picture of our 34th week ultrasound done June 26th. It is a little blurry, but I thought it was so precious that I just had to put it on here. She kept sticking her little tongue out-it was so cute to watch! We got lots of comments from our doctor and the rest of the clinic on her chubby cheeks. They estimated that she currently weighs 5 pounds 15 ounces and at full term should be about 8 pounds. We are anxious for your arrival!!

Welcome Brayden Michael!

Pat is doing a little practicing here-holding Brayden Michael. He was born June 10th to our good friends, Chris & Maria & joins big sister Alexis. Rumor has it that Sweet Pea will have a little boyfriend! Pat's already getting his gun cleaning kit out!!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of our family and friends that are fathers (and fathers-to-be). I hope you had a great day and enjoyed some nice weather.

Pat had a seminar all weekend and got done today at 1:00. We talked about going to hit some golf balls at the driving range, but because it was 98 degrees with no breeze here today we decided to spend it inside. My dad spent it camping and participating in a fishing tournament with my family at Fort Thompson and Pat's dad Lee spent it fishing with Grandkids Chloe and Kaden. If only we had a lake anywhere in the state, we probably would have been there just to cool down!

For Father's Day I got Pat some Chicago Bears gear for Sweet Pea. She should be all set for football season in the fall! GO BEARS!!

Sweet Pea's Nursery

Pat and I have been enjoying setting up the nursery. We've been doing it in stages, but it is just about complete! We have to put up a couple shelves, and I want to buy letters of the baby's name to hang on the wall. Since we haven't quite narrowed that part down yet, I've had to put that project on hold! We bought a glider/ottoman to put in there also, but I've been enjoying having that in the living room for now!

Chad, Denise, Grace, & Elizabeth Come to Visit!

Pat's brother Chad, Denise, and their two girls Grace and Elizabeth came to visit from Iowa on May 25th. They also took a couple days and drove down to the Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands. We had such a good time with them-it's always nice to see family! The girls were so good, and Pat & I had so much fun spoiling them!

Grace & Elizabeth at Old Town in Albuquerque.

Pat with the girls-Old Town

Here we are at the Albuquerque
Aquarium. They have a restaurant there and we were lucky enough to be able to eat right next to lots of fish, sharks, sting rays, and turtles!






We toured the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science. Grace and Elizabeth loved seeing the dinosaurs!

Chad, Denise, Grace, and Elizabeth after taking the tram up the Sandia Mts. The girls really enjoyed the ride, but I think Denise felt a little different about it! The Sandia Peak Tramway is 2.7 miles one way through the mountains and is considered the world's longest aerial tram.

At the bottom of the tram we did a little hiking around the trails. Because of the heat, (and my flip flops-my tennis shoes were in the car) we didn't last too long.
