Jakson's Room

WE'RE READY FOR HIM!!!!!

Fourth of July Celebration at the Park

On July third we headed to the annual 4th of July celebration at La Mirada Regional Park. Jakson is due one month from today!

Baby Showers!!

I could not have imagined having better baby showers! My Mom and Grandma threw me my "family" shower and Rachel and Tracy threw me my other shower. I had such a great time, and we got everything we need for Jakson. I seriously came home teary eyed, because I feel so blessed to have such loving and generous people in my life! Thank you everyone!!!!!

New Belly Pics...Oh My!

Meeting Sadie Kay

I got to meet Sadie Kay!

This weekend I went to Texas to visit with the Stahler family. Sadie is adorable and one of the best babies I have ever been around. The best part was seeing how Kay was with Sadie. Kay is such a good mom! This was a really good experience for me... it was like baby boot camp. I'm no longer worried about bringing Jakson home for the first time. Kay even gave me the 411 on the breast pump... I never would have known what to do with all those parts if it wasn't for her!

Pregnancy Update

Okay, so it has been a while... I'm going to really try to keep up with this thing! Anyhow... here is a pregnancy update . I am now 28 weeks pregnant, that means 12 to go:) I cannot wait to meet the little guy. I am still feeling really good, back pain has been my worst pregnancy side affect, and at this point I'm starting to feel a little restricted by my big ole belly.

The baby's name will be Jakson Robert. Kevin liked the name Jackson, and I wasn't completely sold on it until I realized I could spell it Jakson and it could stand for Julia's and Kevin's son. Slightly cheesey, but I like the meaning! The name Robert comes from my grandpa, he was one of the best men I ever knew!

Here is a recent belly pic

Visiting Dallas:)

Dallas has been a great vacation. We have spent time in the sun with good friends, and enjoyed some really great food, what else could you ask for? Kev and I got to meet Wrigley, Abbie, Mike, Amy, Masud, Carrie, Steve, and many of Kay's salon coworkers, I can see why she loves it here. The Stahler's new house is beautiful...they make it tempting to move here, it really is real-estate heaven! Too bad we have so many amazing friends in Cali! BTW... a big thanks to Aaron and Jena for taking care of our house while were gone. And thank you to Kim and Mike for loving our dear Parker while we're gone.

One of the best things that we did was go visit the JFK Memorial Museum. We are standing in the exact spot were JFK got shot. We were actually in the Texas School Book Depository looking through the window were Lee Harvey Oswald stood as he shot the president. CRAZY! It was a really touching place to be. I highly suggest going there to anyone who visits Dallas.

On my birthday 08-08-08... we welcomed the United States as we watched the Olympics. It was pretty cool, the U.S. came on the screen and there were claps and cheers! I love patriotism!

Us girls had a lot of fun together:)
Our HOT guys!
Martini Park was very fun, the live band was good and the pomegranate martinis were flowing!
I love this girl, she made my birthday very good!
Wow... we are lucky women!

Mi Cosina had fabulous food and very strong, very good drink called a mambo taxi.

I am so so glad that we got to meet Mike and Abblie. They are great people, we're gunna miss them.
muah!
... Singing Happy Birthday...

Top Golf was Super fun! I don't know why they don't have these in California. The boys put away some beers and Kay and I polished off a phenomenal pizza:)

We have spent a lot of time laying around by the pool, soaking up the sun and watching Wrigley dive in after his toys.
