Pumpkin Patch

Although Sunny refused to pose for any pictures, with the help of my mom, we were able to get a few. Sunny's best friend, Andy went too. This year Sunny wants to carve flowers and leaves into the pumpkin, like on the front of the Southern Living magazine. Great, that should be easy, right?!?! Also, this had to be the windiest day on record, hence the hair flying everywhere.

It must be in the Water ...

It would not be ridiculous to say that I currently have more friends pregnant than not. For instance, Patty is due Oct. 24, Kristin is due Nov. 8, Dayna is due Nov. 9, Christi is due Dec. 8, I am due Dec. 27, Heather and Ashley are due in January and Kristi is due in Feb. That's a lot of hormones flying around! Here is a pic of the two due just before me, Kristin and Christi.

Amber finished the Breast Cancer Walk!

I was able to raise $1,425 for the Atlanta 2 Day! I was able to walk all 30 miles and only got a small blister on the bottom of my foot. I told Rob that this was my last walk ... after 3 walks and a marathon for breast cancer, I am going to take some time off. He said, 'Yeah right, that's what you said last year'. Once again it was a wonderful and emotional experience and it reminded me to thank God on a daily basis that my family and friends have their health. It really is the most important thing in life.

We have tomatoes!

I thought we would never have edible tomatoes this year! We've had fried green tomatoes a few times and finally we are getting red ones. Sunny's loves to pick (and eat) the RED cherry tomatoes ... she says, 'We only pick the red ones mommy'.

With the L'Amie's

We spent a couple days with my family after we visited the Stephan's. We were able to see Poppie a few times as well as my dad, Grant and Gabrielle.
We went to the Alligator Farm with my mom and then to Disney with Crystal, Mom and Aunt Sally. The Snow White ride was the very first place we went and it scared Sunny so much that she actually bit her finger (through the skin). We tried the Pooh ride after that and she was still too traumatized. The rest of the day we stuck to shows and parades. She was the hit of the Tiki Bird show as she got up and danced in front of everyone while the birds sang.

Made it to FL!

We made the last trip down to FL until after the new baby comes. Here are some pics with Oma and Opa and the wildlife sanctuary they feed. Ha! Lilo loves being at Oma's too becasue she gets LOTS of snacks! Riley just figured out yesterday that Oma is her daddy's Mom and Opa is her daddy's Dad.

Painting Sunny's new room!

August with Riley

When I got out of the shower, I found Riley like this. She had her babies lined up and was reading them a story. The other pic is at the coffee shop; we were trying to get out of the house so daddy could sleep in. I asked Riley what kind of muffin she wanted, she said 'the chocolate chip one'. I said, 'they don't have chocolate chip (I was lying), they only have bluleberry or cranberry'. She said, 'yes they do, I see the chocolate chip one right there'. Ugh. I should have never asked. So she ate all the chips off the top and was done. Mom of the Year Award right there ... chocolate chips for breakfast.

I HIT MY GOAL FOR THE ATLANTA 2 DAY!

The breast cancer walk this year is on September 20th & 21st. The longest training walk we have done is 12 miles which wasn't too bad. I will be walking with a team, Thanks for the Mammories. There are 6 girls so we will have much gossip and laughs to get us through the first 20 mile day! Every time Riley sees a pink ribbon, she says, 'mommy, that's for your breast cancer walk'.
My Fundraising Goal:
$1,000.00
Money Raised to Date:
$1,425.00

IT'S A BOY !!!!

Much to our surprise, we found out this week that we are having a boy! Rob was so sure that we were having a girl. Before we left for the appointment he said that if it is a boy, I could pick what I want: either a diamond ring or a new car. I'm going with the car.

Time to start shopping for all things blue ... and a few trucks as well. We are happy that we will get to experience one of each. Riley is very excited because she has said from the beginning that she wants a boy baby. Also, mom will not have to give up the pendulum as it has told her twice that I am pregnant with a boy. Oy.
Here are some pics. From the top, a foot, then a 3D photo (in the middle) and a between the legs shot ... you may be able to see the small arrow (or the small parts). Ha!

Warm Laundry

I carried the warm laundry from the dryer to our bed. I went back to put the wet clothes into the dryer and when I returned, this is what I found. Now Lilo has always done this ... buried herself in the warm laundry but this is new for Sunny. If only I could teach her now how to fold!

Six Flags

I decided to do Six Flags with some friends since I know I won't be up for going next summer with 2 small children. Riley had so much fun with her friends Alaina and Savannah!
