The Knights.

Today spent the day hanging out Nikki (Chris's sister) and her family! It was a very fun day! We ate at Outback, went to the park until it started raining, and then went back to our house to watch a movie and relax. It was really fun! We don't get to see the Knights often so when we do it's always a good time! Lily LOVES her big cousins! Oh and Natalie and her family slept over last night so it's pretty much been a party over here!

Tooth.

Today I woke up with the WORST toothache! I called Chris and practically begged his NCO to let him off so I could go to the dentist. I got to the dentist and he pretty much blamed it all on pregnancy hormones and swollen gums. I'm pretty sure the cause was my latest addiction... freezing my waters and chewing on the ice.

Insomnia.

Last night (after midnight so it counts!) I got a burst of energy and I went crazy cleaning. I'm so blah during the days so it's nice that I can take advantage of the nights I'm already up by catching up on some much needed cleaning! I got the main floor clean, except vacuuming of course!

Cute Hubby!

I didn't take a picture today, but this is a picture of our baby monitor. Every night now that Im just too pregnant to go upstairs all the time, Chris has taken over the bedtime time. I love listening to him read stories to the kids. He's so good with them. It's funny how different he reads books than me. But he's still a cutie!

Grayson!

The scanned picture doesn't do it justice, but you guys had to just be there! I saw him! He's was so adorable!! When Austin was a newborn his lip and chin were so funny looking, but SO cute! I think Gray is the same way! I just love him so much!! I'm going to miss those kicks of his when he finally comes out to meet the world, but for now he's all mine!

Birthday Present!

Chris's present FINALLY came in the mail today. I was not happy about how long it took! But he's been wanting a baby backpack since Lily was a baby so I was excited about this gift! He LOVED IT! I'm excited to go hiking in Colorado!!

Baby Gray!

Today I got an ultrasound done... I love seeing Grayson! These pictures I thought turned out really well! He was being so cute!

Birthday with Dad!

Today we met up Chris Chris's Dad to celebrate his birthday! We had The Cheesecake Factory for the first time! It was super yummy! It was sunday morning so we got to try their brunch! Chris and his dad are so much alike! Anyway this picture is us waiting for Steve to get there!

Pregnancy Scare.

Yesterday while out getting balloons for Chris's birthday when I was pushing the shopping cart, somehow it hit into my stomach really hard. I didn't think much of it at the time... all i knew was it hurt! Later on that night I started feeling like I was having contractions. I was in SO MUCH PAIN! So I called my mom and told me to just put myself on bed rest for a day. So today we spent the day relaxing. I love cookies, but i didn't care much for Chris's birthday cookie cake, so i enjoyed my own cookies in bed! :)

Birthday Boy!

Today we celebrated Chris's birthday! We had a ham meal and cookie cake! Lily LOVED telling daddy happy birthday every chance she got. She sang the Happy Birthday song probably 100 times! I think his birthday was more exciting to her! His present STILL hadn't been delivered. Oh well.

Happy Birthday Chris!!

Chris turned 23 today, but it was SUCH a busy day full of OBGYN appointments and Asthma Appointments that we decided to celebrate tomorrow! Austin was so cute all day!

Lunch.

We had chicken salad and cheese croissants for lunch... YUM!!

errands.

Today was Chris's last day of leave so we got a bunch done. We renewed his driver's license, went to Sam's, etc. Austin (obviously) was exhausted! Too cute!

Birthday and Christmas

So Chris and I have decided that we need to go about our kids birthdays and Christmas's differently. All our kid's birthdays are way too close to Christmas and it is very stressful for us (and you too) to have to buy two gifts. Plus our kids are already very spoiled. So here's the new plan.

We are going to cover birthdays. And then for Christmas we're going to give them a stocking, a Santa gift, and that's it. So Christmas will have more gifts from family and friends, and birthdays will be from just us. I hope that makes it easier on you guys!!

Dryer Sheets!

I love the smell of dryer sheets so today I tried putting them in our vents... best idea EVER! My house smelled awesome!!

Yum!

Tonight we tried a new recipe, Tex Mex chicken and rice, and then we made homemade rice krispy treats! Between the four of us it was GONE!

Grandma!!!

Today lily got a surprise! My mom was in town for the day due to a layover flight. So we got to go play with the cousins (minus Emerson) and Grandma!! I love when my mom comes to visit, but I hate it when she has to leave!! Anyway Lily was Belle (my family's nickname for her) for the day and Kenzie was Aurora! They are such great friends! My mom is the cutest!!!

Also my mom let Chris and me go on a date tonight so we finally went and saw ECLIPSE!! It was fun! I love getting to go out with just my husband!

Going HOME!!

Today we headed back to Chris's mom's house! I was so not feeling it. I didn't mind going back to TN, but my bed at home sounded so tempting! We were supposed to go to the flea market, but I had other plans. Sometimes after a trip all you want is to go home and that's where I was at. So we did. The drive was SO LONG! Anyway during gas/food breaks, the kids enjoyed the front seats. Lily kept begging us to let her drive lol... umm a few more years!

Bricktown.

Chris's family left today (most of them) so we took advantage of our extra day to explore Oklahoma! Chris took us to Bricktown. It was so cute! It was a fun day with my little family!

Funeral.

Today reminded me of how much I dislike funerals. They are just so sad!! But the one good thing about them is they bring families closer. I only met Grandma Rosie a few times, but she was a very sweet woman. I'm really sad my kids never got the chance to know her.
The first picture is of Chris, his dad, and his sister.
