Just a little update on everything these days. Bryce just turned 3 this month...he's no longer a baby, that's for sure! He loves his movies (or moomies) as he calls them. He also loves Ben 10 the superhero kid, spongebob, diego and dora. He loves to read books~which I am very happy about~any and every book! We have been going to the library quite frequently this summer and he really enjoys that. Getting to pick out his own books and dvds to check out. He likes to play with his cousin and bff, paige. It helps that the two live right next door to each other and we can just walk over anytime! We are building a house and aunt megan and uncle bill are about to build so I don't know what we are going to do when they move away and Bryce and Paige no longer have each other right there. I know that they will only be about 5-10 minutes away, but still! :) Bryce is a very energetic little boy and has become more and more of a little "momma's boy" since he's been home with me over the summer. I am really struggling this week at church because it is VBS and of course Bryce cried on and off the entire three hours! It makes me mad and sad at the same time.


Just this month I took 6 pregnancy tests and discovered that we are expecting. It didn't take very long! I stopped taking my pill and june and became pregnant in june. Wow! According to the internent, I am about 5 weeks pregnant, due around march 21st 2010. I have not been to the doctor yet to get the officials, but I did make an appointment today for Aug. 11th. I have decided that with this pregnancy I really want a surprise, so I do not want to find out what we are having until D day. I hope I can hold out that long. No, I WILL hold out that long. :) Another exciting bit of info is that my best friend from Germany (we've been besties since 6th grade) is also expecting! She is about 7 weeks along. We are so excited. That was not planned, just happened. We always said that we wanted to have babies around the same time, but never really expected it to work out!


Wes is still working like crazy at UPS and Terry Hardware. He is also busy keeping things going with the house building. He rarely has time to do anything else. We are just finishing up the framing of the house. Hopefully the shingles can be put on soon. I know things are probably happening pretty quickly, but it seems like its taking forever. I must have patience.


I am still teaching 1st grade at Hardin Elementary and loving it. Gearing up for another year. We go back around the middle of august. I need to start working in my classroom and getting things ready. I have been very lazy this summer but it has been wonderful. Bryce and I have been sleeping in and laying around at Grandma and Grandpa's pool. We just had a wonderful family vacation at Gulf Shores Beach. We stayed at the West Wind condo on the beach. It was refreshing to be able to wake up, eat breakfast on the balcony and look out at the ocean. Beautiful.
