Catching Up...

Well it's been awhile since we've blogged so here is a little catch up of what we have been doing lately...

We moved into our home in Germantown, TN the beginning of July and are finally getting settled in...We love the house and our neighborhood is fantastic!  Everyone is so welcoming - we really lucked up with the location.  My Mom, Staci, Bryn, Addison and Alli came up to help us get settled in and unpack (which I LOVED!).  It was so nice having them here for a week!  While they were here we did hit up the zoo - Memphis has a pretty great Zoo and I wouldn't have known that if my family hadn't been visiting.

They had such a great time - even though it was pretty hot that day.

Gary was exercising his parenting skills - he's gonna be doing a lot of stroller pushing before long!

We also took a trip to Florida for my Granny's 95th birthday party.  We had a family get together to celebrate her.  We got a picture of Granny with (almost) all her Great Grandchildren.  We love you Granny!

Yep an Elephant cake for Granny

In August we headed to California to visit Gary's parents.  We were there for my birthday so Gary needed a little golf time with his Dad and Scott while Brenda and I went for a foot massage and to see a movie (The Help).  Later that night we went to Cheesecake Factory for my birthday dinner then (birthday) cheesecake and gifts at home.  It was a great Birthday!

Since we left the day before Gary's birthday we went to one of his favorite restaurants (mexican of course) and had cake and ice cream after.

Birthday Boy!

After we returned home to Tennessee, The Duncan's came out for the weekend and we went to the BYU vs. Ole Miss game...I was a little nervous with the weather (since the game was at 3pm and it's the south and can be pretty HOT) but we definitely lucked up!  It was overcast and not nearly as hot as I was thinking it would be.  We had great seats and BYU won!  So that made for a great game :-).  Of course the night before, we had to go to downtown Memphis and eat at Rendezvous for some great BBQ.  We never pass up a chance to eat there!

And most recently, Gary signed us up for a few classes to prepare for our new addition...We toured the hospital and took a natural child birth class.  Umm, thanks for setting up the classes but I am NOT going natural and especially after the class - I'm definitely going for the drugs! I told my Dr about the class and he said technology is here for a reason and I 100% believe that and will gladly take full advantage of it! :-)

I'm DEFINITELY not one to show any pregnancy pics but my friend Dana has been asking so I sent her one.  This is me at 34 weeks.  I'm posting it because it's very deceiving...I'm MUCH bigger than the photo but I'll take this as a memory :-)

34 weeks

It's crazy to think we will be meeting our little guy in 5 1/2 weeks...I'm not sure I'm truly prepared for it but I don't think you are ever really prepared for this kind of change but we are looking forward to it!

This past weekend, Gary and Walt decided to enter into an obstacle course race in Manchester, TN.  It is called The Warrior Dash.  It's a 3 mile course and you have to army crawl under barbed wire, scale walls, jump over fire pits and dive into mud.  Doesn't that just sound like lots of fun?!  Well not to me but definitely to a guy.  They had a great time and I'm glad they went and had some bonding time...I of course opted to stay home and I think it was a wise choice.

Yep, they left their clothes there after they were hosed off...I think that was a smart choice :-)
