Historic Glendale!

Yesterday my good friend Christy and I went to Historic Glendale Kentucky! We had such good time shopping at the little boutique craft and antique shops and catching lunch at the Whistle Stop Cafe! I can't wait to go back during the Holidays! Here is how much fun we had eating...who doesn't love a good meal right??



I had such a great time, and Thanks to Christy for keeping me entertained while Andy has been out in the field!

As a side note...Christy and I found a pretty spectacular product on our journey to Glendale...at the 'Sisters Shop'...something I think the mother of any little boy should own. Here's a little intro..

'Changing a baby girl is not all glitz and glory;
Changing a baby boy is an even bigger horror story.
You hold his feet in one hand, and the diaper in the other;
The whole time praying, "Please don't pee on your mother!"'

What product could I be endorsing you ask? Why the Pee Pee Teepee (for the sprinkling wee wee) of course...just take a look for yourself! You better believe that if we are having a boy I am getting one of these for myself...and everyone else I know who are having boys...which seems to be a lot of you. Why didn't I think of this??? Check them out...HERE!

Andy's always singing this song...

I think he likes it!

Beware, This ones a Doozy!

Well, since I have been delinquent in my blogging...this post may exceed the length of any normal post...so bear with me...it has a really good ending!!

First off..4th of July. Although the 4th was over a week ago, I have to share some of the fun pictures from our adventurous weekend. Over the holiday Andy's sister Larissa, her husband Spencer and their two boys Cole and Jack, came to visit! We had such a fun time! We picnicked, lit some fireworks, went to the Fort Knox water park and even did a little neighborly BBQ. I think the boys enjoyed the park the most...especially the flocks of geese that wanted to eat all our food!

Jack in one of his many times down the slide!

Thanks to the Zitzmans for coming to visit, we really had the greatest time!

Onto this weeks events...our good friend Bob and his girlfriend Kylee payed us a fun visit for a couple of days! Bob will be heading off to Korea in a few weeks and we are so glad that he took the chance to stop by before he left! On Friday night we took Bob out to dinner for his Birthday, which was back in June. We decided to hit up BJ's in Louisville, for any of you Californians out there, you know what I am talking about. It was sure tasty! We will really miss Bob while he is in Korea, and can't wait for another fun rendezvous.

Also this weekend, Andy ran the Fort Knox 10 mile qualification race...the top 8 runners are automatically sent to Washington DC in October to compete in the Army 10 miler...each post sends their top 8 runners to compete. Well, as no surprise to me, Andy got 3rd place for Fort Knox and will be sponsored in the October race in DC! We can't wait, I have never been to DC and can't wait to join him in the fun (from the sidelines of course!).

Lastly, the news you've all been waiting for! The reason why you muscled through the beginning of this long post! Andy and I will be expecting the newest addition to our family around February 1st 2009! That's right, a baby (in case you needed me to make it more clear). We are excited, surprised, nervous and very blessed! How can I be sure? Well...if feeling lethargic, throwing up, being nauseous, getting zits, loosing my appetite, throwing up and feeling lethargic aren't enough to convince you...this should! Here's the little bean in all its glory (we will be referring to the baby as an 'IT' until sometime in September when we can find out the gender). Go a head, take a look-see!
Feel like offering me any motherly advice? Go right ahead, I am accepting all the help I can get!
Love
Meliss

Viva La Vida!

Every time Coldplay comes out with a new CD I wonder if it can live up to the ones before...if you haven't had a chance to hear their latest album 'Viva La Vida' you are missing out! Here are some of Andy and I's favorite songs!
