2 years ago.....

A few weekends ago we watched "Marley and Me" Here is Josh and Grizz watching the movie together. Awww... how sweet!!!

(please excuse the messy house!)

Grizz and Gage have been sleeping in the kennel together at night and they are becoming good buds and it keeps the lil fella from whining all night long! haha!

Our 2 year anniversary is Tuesday. I can't believe it has been two years since our wedding day. That was one of the best days of my life and I will always remember it. I know the birth of our child will take its place and become the best day of my life! I just can't wait! I am so thankful god blessed me with Josh. He has been so patient with me these past few months during my "icky moody days" (what was my excuse for those days before I was pregnant??!?!?! haha). He is taking me wherever I want to eat on Tuesday! Lets hope I don't get any weird and crazy cravings before now and then! lol

I just can't wait to spend many more years with this guy and can't wait to see what all the future holds for us!

Meet Gage

We finally have a name for the new pup! After throwing out several names to Josh, and him snarling his nose at them, he finally decided on a name. I am happy to introduce to you.... Cypress Creek's 12-Gage. (Gage) Yes, yes, I know... how redneck! haha!! Josh came up with it on his own and I thought Gage was cute. I'll never call him by his full name so whatever! haha!!

We went to Heber for Easter weekend! We had a great time, as always! Saturday Mom, Caroline and I went to Little Rock to do some shopping and we got to meet up with my Aunts for lunch! We did some heavy duty shopping and I was worn out by the time we got home. Sunday morning us girls got up and went to church. Why is it that is always either cold or rainy on Easter?? Dad decided he was going to stay home, since he hadn't been feeling the greatest. Of course Josh thought he should stay with him to make sure he was ok while we were gone! lol! I was upset since Josh didn't go with us to church, we didn't get any pictures of us all dressed up!! Josh tried to make up for it by taking pictures after we ate lunch and were in our comfy clothes. Soooo not the greatest picture of us!!!

Here is what Dad and Josh (and Grizz) did pretty much all day Sunday until we headed back to Memphis!

Dad is having Surgery this Friday in Little Rock. He is doing much better so the surgery isn't as "serious" as they told us it would be earlier. We are heading to LR Friday morning to be with him and Mom and are all confident all will go well. We are hoping for a speedy recovery!

We also are heading to Oxford Thursday night for Caroline's Choir recital since Mom and Dad can't make it. I am looking forward to that as well. We always enjoy our visits to Oxford and can't wait to hear Caroline and her solo! I know she will do great, as always!!!

New Addition

I came home last night to find Josh with this........

The new puppy!!! I'll admit, he is really cute and so far he has not been much of a whiner! We are having trouble with a name for the little fella. Anyone have any ideas??? Josh is very picky about his dog names... kids names for that matter!! He wants to name him something he wouldn't mind yelling out at a hunt test! My sister said Cracker. I thought it was cute, but Josh didn't like the idea of yelling out "Cracker" at hunt tests!! haha! I have not been excited about the idea of a new puppy and all the whining in the house. Josh opted to sleep on the couch last night with the pup. I woke up this morning to find them in the guest room. He said it wasn't tooo bad of a night. However, Josh wanted to go back to sleep this morning and lil fella didn't want to! The puppy was crawling and licking on Josh. I could tell he was getting frustrated and he said I guess the puppy is getting me ready for the baby and no more sleeping in! haha! Bingo!!! Hopefully this lil fella will have a name soon. If you have any suggestions, send them to me!! (and yes, I come home every night from work and go to put on my pjs! haha)

Now on to our addition arriving this Fall!!! Baby Morgan is a lemon this week!! (14 weeks)

Tuesday Josh and I went to Jonesboro for the afternoon. He had to take care of some stuff at ASU and they were also doing free OB ultrasounds. (We also hit up El Acapulco for an early dinner! sooo good!!)We got to watch "Lil M" for about an hour! It had grown quite a bit and was very active during the ultrasound!! The baby had the hiccups while they were trying to get measurements!! It was soo cute! We tried to get a peek to see if we could tell the gender. The students doing the ultrasounds wouldn't say what they thought, cause they said it was just a guess!! Josh thinks girl! They zoomed in when the baby had its legs spread apart and he said he didn't see any "pokes". I thought I did, but they said it could be the umbilical cord! I am soo ready to find out what we are having. I hate referring to the baby as "it" or "they". We go back to the Dr next Friday.. I am hoping she will let me come back in a few weeks for an ultrasound! Fingers crossed!!!

12 weeks

Baby Morgan is a lime this week.... or a plum, if you prefer !!! I just love getting my weekly emails telling me what size the baby is each week and all its developments!! (I know I said Lil M was a lime last week, but since I didn't get to meet with my dr, i'm keeping my orginal due date unless she decides to change it!!)

I am starting to feel much better. I still have my icky moments, but overall, the morning/all day sickness has begun to subside! PTL!!!! Goodbye First Trimester!!!!

We are going to Heber this weekend and I am soo excited about seeing my family. We are sooo glad that Dad is feeling much better. I am hoping hes back to his 'ole self soon!!! Hopefully I will get to meet up with my grandma and aunts as well and spend some time with them!! I hate being so far away and not being getting to see my family very often!


Nothing else really to report on... ohhh, we are getting a new puppy soon. Can you tell i'm excited!?!?!?! Josh bred one of our labs to a labradoodle, so he got pick of the liter. I haven't seen his pick yet, but he keeps telling me i'm going to fall in love with him, cause hes so cute. Well, we'll see about that... i'm sure he'll be really cute when hes whining at 2 am in the morning!!! I guess this can be Josh's practice for middle of the night feedings!! hehe!!


I hope everyone has a Happy Easter. I am sure I'll have lots of "easter pictures" to share next week!!! :)

Yay for the weekend!!!

Whooohooo its finally Friday! We had our 2nd Drs appointment today. My Dr had to leave for surgery, so I met with the nurse instead. We were so excited when she said we could do an ultrasound and even more excited about getting to see baby Morgan again! "Lil M" had its leg kicked up the entire ultrasound and was throwing a wave our way! It is soo amazing how much its grown since the last ultrasound. We got some pictures, but they aren't too clear. It definitely wasn't as clear on picture as it was on the screen! I am measuring at 12 weeks, one week ahead of where we thought we were. Lil M is the size of a lime this week!

Last weekend Zach, Jasmin and Taylor came for the weekend. The guys got together at Tanner and Amy's Sat to watch the Tigers and Jasmin and I enjoyed a mani and pedi! Taylor stayed with Zach's family and got lots and lots of attention!! I got us tickets to the Grizzlies from work and we all headed down to eat at Rendezvous before the game. I took my camera, but only took one picture the entire night!! It was alot of fun hanging out with everyone and catching up! We definitely have to do it more often!
We also received our first baby gift last weekend from The Lease's!

Isn't it sooo cute!?!?!? This book is just too cute! It is like a weekly pregnancy journal and has slots for you to put ultrasound pictures in it as well as weekly belly pictures! I plan on working on filling it out this weekend. I love the pink and blue ribbons on the diapers! What color will we be using?? Ohh we just can't wait to find out!! Thanks again Zach and Jasmin!!!

I am adding a poll on the blog, so make sure and vote what you think Baby Morgan is!! I can't wait to see everyones responses!! I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We plan on having a very relaxing weekend around here! It has been sooo busy and crazy around here and I have been soo tired lately, so I know I am going to enjoy "doing nothing".

Our little grape

Many of my friends have told me baby sites to check out. It is pretty neat to get to read and see pictures about all the developments happening each week. Baby Morgan is a grape this week (9weeks)... or an olive if you prefer those!!

My morning sickness has slacked up a bit.... I was soo sick Monday and Tuesday, but after talking to my dr, she thinks it was a virus, since i was running fever and all that fun stuff!! She called me in some meds to help with the morning sickness, but I discovered that it makes me sleepy, so it doesn't do much good for me during the day! I have felt alot better these past couple of days, so hopefully its won't be too bad from here on out!!!

My mom and sister are coming to visit this weekend! I am soo excited! We are going to just have a fun girly weekend complete with some shopping, good food (they will enjoy all the good food alot more than I will ), movies and just lounging around!! Josh is cooking us a nice steak dinner tonight.. yummm... Maybe i'll be able to enjoy a few bites of steak!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!

Update

I know, I know, I have fallen off the blogging wagon! We changed our Internet connection at the house, and its taken a few weeks to get everything hooked up. Hopefully I will be able to use our computer at home alot more now! It gets old checking out all the gossip on facebook and myspace and my email on my blackberry!!!
We've had some excitement these past few weeks!! One of my bestfriends, Sarah (isn't it funny that the two of my bfs are both named Sarah haha) got ENGAGED Monday night!! She went to watch the Bachelor "Final Rose Ceremony" (by the way, don't get me started on that) with some girls from work. Matthew came and surprised her right before Jason made his pick! How sweet!! Atleast we had one happy ending for the night. Stupid Bachelor! Congratulations Sarah and Matthew! We are soo happy for the two of yall!!

Sarah and Matthew at the Hank concert this summer

In other news, we are thrilled to announce that we are Pregnant!!!! Baby Morgan will be joining us in October!!! We had our first ultrasound yesterday. It was just too exciting! We were able to see our lil peanut, or as Josh called it, a glob. I remind him that it is a cute glob! haha!! It was soo worth sitting in the Dr's office for 2 hours!! We were able to see and hear the heartbeat. A loud and strong 185. It was so amazing to see the heart beat on the screen! We go back in 3 weeks and I can't wait to see Baby Morgan again!!! It will look more like a baby then!!!

Here is Baby Morgans first debut!! We are due October 16, 2009. Of course ALL my family is excited, especially my parents as well as Josh's dad and Ellen!!!! (Dad, I will try my hardest to have your grandchild during the week, so football games will not have to be missed and don't worry, they will definitely be here before Ole Miss and Arkansas play on October 24th!!) We are just praying for a safe and healthy pregnancy! Ohh and for the morning sickness that comes and goes ALL during the day, to go away...SOON!!!!
