Boy or Girl????

I had a doctor's appointment today. I heard the baby move (can't feel it yet) and heard the heartbeat. It was so awesome! In two weeks I will be going in for an ultrasound to try to determine the gender of our little bundle. I have posted a poll for fun, please place your vote as to what gender you think it will be (to the right in the column)

Stay tuned!

In Bloom

I gave Michael an Argentine Giant cactus for his birthday a couple years ago. It blooms very pretty white flowers, but they don't even last 24 hours. This morning it was in bloom with 12 flowers on them, it was beautiful. I had to take pictures and share!

Congratulations Casey & Jordan!

Last Saturday we went to the wedding reception for Casey & Jordan. Casey is my sister-in-law's (Heather) sister. Anyhow, it was lots of fun. I danced with Micah (taught him how to do the Electic Slide and Disco). Of course I danced with my own sweetheart too!

Rylee is so up on sarcasim that she finds it hard to believe anything questionable. Michael and I told her about a friend's minature paint horse. Rylee loves paint horses and we told her there is one just her size that she can ride next time she comes to see us. She raised her eyebrows and pointed to Michael with her thumb and said "he's funny". It took us a while to convice her it is a full grown horse, it is just miniature. Although, I think she still doubts we are telling her the truth. She is 3!!

Enjoy the pics from the reception.

RAIN!!

I LOVE the smell after it rains!! This morning I woke up to the smell and it just puts me in such a great mood, if only someone could truly recreate the smell in a candle. I just wanted to share this little pleasure of mine, since we should all try to enjoy the simple pleasures. I think a big part of the joy I find in it is that when I was little I loved to play in the rain and absolutely loved to be outside just after it rained, playing in the puddles and looking for the rainbow. It seems like it has been so long since it has rained and it was just such a welcome sight & smell today!!
