~A Big Suprise~

Well, for the second month in a row, my period has been late. I really thought last month that I was pregnant; however, I took two pregnancy test and they were both negative. So this month rolls around and once again - I'm late. I didn't think I was pregnant - there's no way that could happen!!! Well I had a pregnancy test left over from last month, so out of the blue, I thought I would take it. Jarod had no idea that I was upstairs doing this by the way - I had not even mentioned to him that I was late. We got a POSITIVE Result very quickly. So yes, I am pregnant with baby #3! It was a complete surprise, but a good surprise!!! I go to the doctor October 14Th! I'm obviously not very far along, but I couldn't keep this a secret!!!!

Lovin The Rain

Friday was a very rainy day! Lani and Dax didn't get to play outside and I could tell they were going a little stir crazy. When we pulled up in the driveway, Dax already had his shoes and socks off. I got him out of the car and he headed for a puddle. He jumped so much his shorts fell off and then Lani joined in on his fun!

.....All By Myself...

-Well, I am out of town for a work training....Kind-of lonely in my hotel room by myself....At least I have made friends and will have someone to go to dinner with tonight. I am missin J, L, and D a lot....I'm ready to go home.

-Headed to Carowinds on Saturday for Christian Music Day with Transmission!!! Transmission is the college and career ministry at our church....love it and all the people there!! They are all awesome. Super pumped about Carowinds!!!

-Lani and Dax are learning so much at their new school!!! Dax is talking a lot better, he is doing some animal sounds and naming his body parts. Lani - WOW!!! She has completely learned the Pledge of Allegiance (they don't even do it in class, on in Chapel on Wednesday's), she is bringing home books and learning sight words...And she is reading small books!!! I know that it is probably memorization, but hey isn't that kind-of what reading is!!! I'm very impressed! They both love being there and I believe this in one of the best day care decisions that J and I have ever made!!!

-I'm loving the fact that we upgraded out directv again!!! Loving some TLC, ESPN and "Made" on MTV....

Fight Tigers, Fight Tigers, Fight, Fight, Fight

Like I have mentioned in previous post, we are a football lovin family!!! We didn't have tickets to Saturday's game, but that didn't' keep us away from the pre-game festivities! We just couldn't stay away!!! Dax would say "Go Tigers!" and Lani would cheer to anyone we passed - 1,2,3,4 -Fight, Tigers, Fight, Fight, Fight - She hasn't gotten the C-L-E-M-S-O-N-T-I-G-E-RRRR-S part conquered yet!

Of course, Lani is not shy - It was her idea to take a pic with this girl!!!

Danny Ford and Dax!! For those of you that don't know - Danny Ford was the coach of the 1981 National Championship Team!!! I think Dax is upset because he isn't our coach anymore :)

Willie Korn - Thought everyone might enjoy looking at this picture!!!!

It's That Time Of Year Again!!!

Football Season! We love it! In our house, this is a very exciting time of year!!!

Lani and Dax waiting for the game to begin!

Ivy and Lani

Watching the game! Let me tell you, Dax watched the entire game! He did so good and it was like he knew what he was watching! Growing up, My mom, dad and I went to Pendleton Games every week! This would have absolutely made my dad's day that Dax was so interested in this football game. It will be eight years in October since my dad passed away. I can handle a lot of things emotionally about him; however, walking into that stadium and looking at that field and knowing how much he enjoyed being there, gets to me every year! Even though I get a little teary eyed, I love this memory!

Lani wanted to go see the bulldog, and then when she gets down there, she decided to act like she was scared of him!

Her hair bow is actually the same as the cheerleaders. The funny thing - The hair bow is bigger than her pony tail!

Someone Turned 50!!!

On Wednesday, August 26th, my mom turned 50!!! Wow - I can't believe my mom is really 50! That just means I'm getting closer to 30 - Yikes. My mom got a nice surprise at her office!!! I decided to send her a clown. I knew she would either love it, or want to kill me! She thought it was great! That night we cooked out and got a few laughs over a few funny gag gifts! I really think my mom enjoyed her 50th birthday!!!

The clown brought these flowers with him! One of the balloons said "Ain't it Nifty, Regina is 50!"

~Our Weekend~

Friday Night - We decided to have a camp out in the living room. Lani and Dax were so excited. We were getting new a mattress on Saturday, so J went ahead and put the old mattress in the living room on Friday Night. The mattress served several purposes - a wrestling ring, a trampoline and a bed. Lani, Dax and I slept on the mattress, J slept on the couch. Lani and Dax finally fell asleep around 11 o'clock while watching "Horton Hears a Who."

Saturday - We had a very busy day, cleaning, new mattress, shopping for furniture for our Sunday School Class and a little fun at Gatti Town!

These two would not look at the camera at the same time :)
