July 4th and other Ramblings

Well, it has been a few weeks since I started this blog and
it looks like I am already very behind. I need to try to stay on
top of this and be a little more diligent about keeping my
friends and family up on all the fun and exciting things that
Max is doing.
Riley, Whitley, and Max

On the 4th of July we headed to Fayette to spend the day
with grandma and grandpa and the rest of the family. We
went to Gunnison to the parade and then up to the park to
see all the happenings that were going on there. Stephanie
and her two cuties, Ryley and Whitley, sat through the parade
and then went to the park with us. Max and Ryley had a blast.
The only thing that they were worried about was getting to
ride the train. So, they rode the train and rode the train and
rode the train. We were beginning to wonder if we would ever
run out of tickets to ride the train, but by the last ride the
boys were ready to be done it was getting hot and we were
all ready to call it good.
Max was a little upset about they train, it was actually a tractor
that pulled a bunch of little wagon type cars. He said to Dallas and
I " I like the train at they zoo a lot better. This is not a train it is a
tractor." He is always saying some of the cutest things and commenting
about off the wall observations.
The Anticipation!!
And they are OFF!!


After the park we went back over to grandmas and grandpas and had
BBQ turkey and lots of yummy salads ( the best part about summer the BBQ
and salads). Then they boys played and the rest of us just sat around
and talked and talked, before I knew it, it was 7:00. I could not believe
where the day had gone. It was great to sit and catch up with mom, grandma,
Stephanie, and dad. It was a great day with not a wasted moment. I can't
wait till next year!!

Since the 4th it seems like time is just flying by. I have been to the doctor a
couple of times and I can't believe that we could have the baby any day now.
I am beyond ready and extremely excited. We can't wait. Every day I think that
I can't get any bigger, but I feel like I just keep growing and growing. We are so
excited to see if we will be welcoming another little boy or a little girl. I don't know if
I will be able to go through another pregnancy without finding out. It has been fun and
the excitement is great, but I am ready to know what this little bundle of joy is going
to be. The other day Max was laying by me and he popped up and started to rub
my belly and said,"Mom, what are we going to name the little boy?" The whole
time that he has known we were going to have a baby he has said that it is a little
girl, so needless to say I was a little shocked at this. I said to him,"what little boy?"
he continues to rub my belly and says, "the little boy up here, this baby down by
your belly button is Emma, but what are we going to name the little boy?" I was
a little nervous at this point. Since I got pregnant I have been worried that there
were two babies, but I have had numerous ultrasounds and I have always been told
that there is just one. So hopefully in a few days we will know if it is a boy or a girl, and
if there is one or two.

I think that we finally have the house ready for the baby, we have the crib up and
all the gender neutral clothing washed and put away , so now we just wait. It feels
like all I do is wait and wait and every time I go to the doctor and he says we will
see you again next week I want to cry. I am ready to have this baby. Maybe this
week will be the week.

Well, since all I have done is ramble on and on and on, I will sign off for today and
hopefully you will hear from me again sooner rather than later.
