Summer Update


This Summer has been busy with lots of fun things. Chris was busy at the first of the summer with football camps and more football and spending time with Nelyana. I have been busy with working more full time through the summer, so Its been good for them to have there bonding time. Most mornings that Nelyana woke up and I was at work she would go and grab her PS2 remote and get Chris's and then she would want to play college football with daddy. She enjoyed it yelling "GO GO GO" and "TOUCHDOWN" and throw her hands up. It was so funny to see her get so excited. Other things in our life we are getting very eager for our new little addition to our family. We know for sure that its a girl. Her arrival to the family with be a challenge and a blessing. Nelyana is going to have a rude awaking when she realizes she has to share mommy and daddy, but at the same time she will have fun with a baby. I don't think she gets the hole concept yet but she will soon. The name we have picked out is Zaniyah Lynn for those that look at that name and say how do you say that here goes my attempt to help you Za-ni-yah. We only have 6 more hot fun filled weeks to go(less would be good for me). So between School starting the second week of August and Football season starting and a new arrival we will be a busy little family. We are excited for what the future holds.



My first Hair cut. She did so well sitting there while she got a hair cut. It was only 1 1/2 inches and you cant really tell it was done, but it just needed to be evened out.



Pool time in the back yard. She loves going and playing in the water. Not a big fan of the bigger part of the pool, but loves the whale side. She's happy as long as you don't splash her in the face or as Chris would do stick her in the big part and she screams like someone is hurting her.



Happy Late 4th of July. We had a fun day with friends Amber and Hilary and Clifford and there little girl Lilly. We did a BBQ at our house and then went to Snow Park and watched the fire works. (Thanks to my mom many of years ago found the best spot with not alot of people!!!) We bought some fireworks and Nelyana enjoyed them except for the ones Chris bought when you light them it makes a loud high pitched screaming sound. Nelyana did not like them at all. Over all it was a great day.

LOL...yeah right, I look FAT is what I look like! They would of course like me to go full term (or anything after 36 weeks really). So far I'm not dilated or anything so that's good. 09-09-09...haha, that would be cool. You better start walkin or something. Dang, you always get to have your babies before me! So I'm having a baby shower on Sept. 2nd. That's funny, you were pregnant at my last one. Do you see Brittany much? Cause I could give your invitation to her...Anyways hope all is well with you and your pregnant self!
