Rosalyn's party!!

Well, Rosalyn's farewell party is tomorrow...and I have been running all over Auburn today getting everything I need, hopefully I haven't forgotten anything important! I did forget the flowers for the table, but we will get those tomorrow! I hope to take tons of pictures and post an update, probably on Sunday! 

Also- please keep Rosalyn and Josh in your prayers, along with Rosalyn's family. They have a lot going on right now and really need our prayers! 

Day #2 of Summer Break...

and Seth has drove me crazy today!!! :) First of all- he can't sleep past 7:30 and doesn't think I should either...so we were both up. His excuse for getting me up- to make sure I didn't go low, I needed to eat breakfast and not lay in bed and go low... sweet and considerate- yes, but too early!! So anyways- I was up at 7:30, eating breakfast and washing clothes. Now, we do have a lot of stuff to clean out in the laundry room, so it wasn't a bad thing that I was up cleaning. I also had him bring in the china, finally, and I set up the china cabinet before guest come over on Saturday- so by 8:30 am I had done 2 loads of laundry and put up all the china! Productive day if I say so myself. This afternoon...ok, well around 10- I took a little break to watch a movie and around 10:45 Seth came in from outside...only to turn back around and go back out because I'm sure I wasn't too nice to him, :|. Anyways- it's about 1:00 now, we get to pick up Clark Madison from daycare today between 3 and 3:30- so I'm about to get ready and head into town. 

Tomorrow will be another busy, early day. Lazy Boy is going to exchange 2 of our dining room chairs between 3:30 and 5:30, meaning we have to get to Auburn do all of our shopping and errands run before 2:00 so we can get back and wait on them! Tomorrow Seth will probably be able to sleep until 10 am, but we won't know because we have to be out of here by 8:30, hopefully!! Overall though- I would much rather wake up early and hang around the house than go to work, so I'm not complaining!!! 

SUMMER TIME!!!

Well today was the first day that Seth nor I had to work! It was so nice not to have to wake up to an alarm clock at 5:50, but sleep until 9:00!!! I know I haven't posted anything in a while, but hopefully I will keep it updated over the summer with all of our activities, including ALL the weddings that we will be attending and of course, updates on Janie Ann.

I guess the lastest adventures we have gotten into were on Memorial Day. We cooked out at the house and had family over for the afternoon. If you aren't currently living in the south, then you probably don't know that it has rained NON-STOP for some time now, thankfully our house is big enough to hold everyone inside, and we can send the kids upstairs to play so they weren't bored out of their mind!! Anyways- Seth and his dad both had their polaris' and after everyone had eaten, Mr. Billy, David, Andy and Seth went for a ride... David and Mr. Billy were on his polaris, which has a roof and windshield and Seth and Andy were on Seth's which is open (very nice for warm summer days!). Anyways...they took off, it was nice and sunny- it had been raining all morning and looked as though it was done for the day....WRONG! After they had been gone for about 10 minutes it started raining, and when I say raining...the bottom dropped out and it pouring down rain!!! Well, another 10 minutes passed and it was still raining and there was no sign of them anywhere, so I was thinking they were at the bottoms and pulled over and got into the old-house, where we store hay, and were staying there until it stopped raining. So, my dad went down looking for them...another 5 minutes pass and here they come- SOAKED, well, Seth and Andy were soaked and David and Mr. Billy were laughing!! They had passed the bottoms and were on their way to Griffin Shoals when the rain started and Seth thought they could make it back before it got worse...boy way he wrong! But all in all, everyone had a great time and I think next time Andy will probably not ride with Seth if there is a chance of rain!!

Check back for pictures from Rosalyn's farewell party on Saturday... :( She is moving back to B'ham to be closer to family (which I completely understand), but I don't want her (or Josh) to leave, nor does the AJHS Special Ed. staff!! She will be missed, but I know she will be back for visits esp. once Janie arrives!

It's a....

GIRL!!!!! Boy was I surprised!! Of course Seth has been saying that from the beginning! Everything looked great- I measured 14 weeks and 1 day instead of 15 weeks 1 day, so that changed our due date to Nov. 15th instead of Nov. 8th. Shelia, I believe was her name, was SO nice. She clicked and measured for about 15 minutes before she told us anything! She said that everything measured great and that everything that needed to be there was there and working! It was amazing to see it again! 

What's her name? Janie Ann. Janie after my great-grandmother and my mom's middle name and then Ann after Seth's mom's middles name. We are so super excited and can't wait to meet her!! Now I can begin picking out stuff for the nursery!! Also- she will have TONS of clothes thanks to her cousins Clark and Harper! 

Also- how sweet is my husband?! This morning Rosalyn walked into my room with some pretty flowers- 4 blue and 4 pink- I thought she was being super sweet by bringing me some flowers, but it turns out that my husband had gone to a local flower shop, picked them out and met Rosalyn at the library so that she could surprise me with them!! He is SO sweet and thoughtful!! I love him bunches...now he has another princess to spoil! Janie is one lucky girl! 

Boys will be Boys!

Well, on Saturday Mrs. Donna, Mrs. Vickie, Rachel and I hosted a lawn and garden shower for Adam Hunter- he is marrying Lauren Mitchum on June 27th (I think!); and when Seth got married they threw him a shower that was "Guys Only" and it was all of his highschool friends- it was very laid back and nice. So, we did the same for Adam. Just a few guys that got together and enjoyed a Saturday afternoon. At one point Seth's dad came inside and told me that they wanted their picture made- well I walked outside with the camera to find all 6 boys on the Polaris!! 3 on the bench seat and 3 in the bed!! It was just like old times! I think everyone enjoyed themselves- here is a picture from the event! 

Today's the day!!!

By 3:15 or 3:30 this afternoon Seth and I should know whether or not we are having a boy or a girl- if the baby cooperates!! I have packed in my bag a REAL Coke for this afternoon, hopefully that will get the baby moving and we can see everything!! Thank goodness I have a pretty busy day or I don't know if I could make it!! I have lots of errands and phone calls to make this morning- including getting some paperwork to Kim and to the bank- calling the furniture store and finalizing my math final for Thursday!!! Surely that will keep my mind occupied until 2:00 when I leave for a meeting at Drake and to pick Seth up to go to the doctor!!

So until tonight... make sure you vote- only 10 hours left!! :)

2 more days and a Housewarming Shower!

Well, I have skipped a few days on the count down, but I've been  a little busy so please forgive me! We have 2 more days and I can't wait!! The poll still says boy over girl, so we will see. One of our friends, Jane, just found out she was having a little girl and thought it was a boy the whole time just like I!! One of Seth's co-workers brought in a piece of blue and pink poster board and on Friday he told his homeroom class and they all signed the color posterboard that they thought the baby would be...12 boy and 11 girl.

Now, the housewarming shower! Karin and Jodie threw Seth and I a small little housewarming shower with a bunch of our friends from home! The night started out interesting... Karin gave Jodie directions to our house and where else did she tell her to turn besides SWEETWATER ROAD!!!! About 6:30 we get a call from Jodie, she is on the dirt road and lost- so I told her to turn around until she hit Lyles Ferry and turn right on Lyles Ferry and come to the end of that road and I would meet her there....well at 6:45 she hadn't shown up and I was too scared to go down the dirt road afraid I would meet her and have a collision, so I go back to the house and see if she had called...in which she had, so Marie got on the Polaris and off we went down the dirt down praying not to meet her. We reach Jodie at 7:00 and get her turned around and headed in the right direction...but when we got there she informed us that Remington, another friend, had just gone by and that she had honked and waved trying to get him to stop, but he informed us he wasn't going to stop on a dirt road for a random girl! HA!! That made it even better! So  we get back to the house around 7:20 and everyone else had arrived....except Cole and Rachel who also got a tad bit lost, but they didn't turn down any dirt roads!! I promise- it's NOT THAT HARD to find my house- the trip might be a little scary if you have never been this far out into "no-where" land, but it's not hard!! Then Remington started the grill (Seth was at the 6th grade dance until 7), and once the grill was ready Seth had made it home so he grilled the hamburgers and hotdogs and we had fun just talking and hanging out! We ate so much food that I was miserable, but it was well worth it! After dinner we just hung out until about 12:00 talking and laughing, mostly laughing at Tal...that's a whole blog post on it's on! All in all, everyone had a great time and I wish we could get together more often! 

Today we are throwing Adam Hunter an outdoor shower at 4:30- so I need to finish cleaning up and begin getting ready for that one! I love having a house that we have lots of people visit!! 

Also a special Thank you to my dad and grandfather for keeping Cadillac last night!! Caddy barks like crazy when we have large groups of people and they were kind enough to keep him for us while we had friends over and he ended up staying over night, which was not planned!!
