It's.....a....BOY!!!

I cannot tell you how overjoyed we are to be welcoming a baby boy into our family. His name is William Everett Stowe and he will be here at the end of March. The name was chosen obviously after his father but, Everett is my dad's middle name and being the daddy's girl I am I wanted our son to be his name sake. I am now 6 months along and haven't gained too much, yet I still look like a house...

Ayden's Birthday

We celebrated Ayden's birthday twice, once on her actual bday and then had her birthday party the following Saturday @ Centennial Hill's Park. We also took our family pictures on Ayden's birthday and as expected she wasn't exactly cooperative but Cortni was still able to get some good pics. Overall, it was a great day, Ayden especially loved her coldstone red velvet cupcake yummo! For her birthday party she had a ladybug theme. Cortni's present to Ayden were the invitations to her birthday party, didn't they come out WAY cute? =) Ninah's present to Ayden was her birthday cake, a giant ladybug, and matching cupcakes and she did an AWESOME job!!

Catch up!

Okay so, I know Im WAYYYYY behind but, with school I stay pretty busy among the rest of the craziness of our lives. Anyway, This post should make up for all that's been missed out. In july and most of August Ayden and I got to travel home to be with my family for 3 whole weeks! Will had to stay behind and work but, it was so much fun to just relax and catch up w/ ALL of our family.

WE'RE PREGNANT! Not sure of the due date due to some confusing details but, my doctor is doing an ultrasound in 3 weeks when I get back. As you can see our little fam is doing great!

Mother's Day and Update...

Okay so, I've gotten extremely lazy about my blogging so I thought I'd update....Mother's Day was so awesome! This year Will and I were able to purchase my mom's favorite painting for her. Son of Man: The Worth of a soul by Liz Lemon Swindle. My mom was so moved by this painting and when I walked upstairs and turned it around she was amazed! She couldn't believe we got it for her. Then we exchanged cards and gifts....Will got me a new net book which I really wanted cuz we have lots of computers here but, now I have one that fits perfectly in my purse and can go anywhere and w/ wifi Im able to connect almost anywhere. Mom and Eric got me Ed Hardy shoes but they were a little small so I took them back and got a really cute pair of Ed Hardy sunglasses instead. Last, my husband made AMAZING carne asada for all of us and it was superb.

Ayden has grown sooo much! She's walking(assisted) all over the house and Im pretty sure she's gonna stop holding on to things any day now. She's such a ball of energy and so very sassy, If isn't done her way it aint gonna cut it. She had her first introduction to grass and she was iffy but then decided it was okay...then she tried to eat it...that was the end of the grass adventure. Oh and she's also in KWNR's "That Baby" contest.... please go to www.kwnr.com/pages/thatbabyvoting-a-f.html She's towards the end Ayden2, the contest only goes for another two weeks so, please vote as much as you'd like.

Stick to laying pipe!

So, my wonderful husband is the love of my life but, he tries to fix EVERYTHING. Our computer has been overheating so he decided to clean it out....He took it out to the backyard w/ a can of air and disappeared for an hour, when he came back in it wouldn't even turn on. He talked about some gold prongs being bent off the fan, so we called my uncle to come fix it. Turns out those gold prongs were off the celeron processor. So, im computerless till these weekend when I buy a new motherboard....So no updates till then. So, now all of will's co-workers joke about how if it doesn't deal w/ pipe don't touch it. Oy Vey!

Nascar Truck Series!!!!

Okay, I married into a Nascar lovin' family which is great cuz I love all racing, especially drag. So, ever since will and I have been dating we ALWAYS go to the races starting w/ the trucks series and anyone who knows me, knows that I love loud trucks. So, we head out early every year about 1:30, drive to the speedway, have a BIG tailgate w/ great food(this year we had a turkey my sis in-law roasted the day before)and then head to the track. It was the first time I'd left the house since we came home from having Ayden and my mom watched her so we could go. My friend Kelly came along and she grew up racing and knows the Busch's so, it was nice for her to come out too.
