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!
Cole and Jack enjoying the view.
Uncle Andy and Cole riding the dinosaur, cowboy style!

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
