"How are you going to bowl pregnant lady?"

So that was the question I got from a 7 year-old! ha! Last Friday we decided to go bowling with Lauren, Bryan, the boys and Hobbs! We had a blast, even though I had to fight a 5-year-old for his 6 pound ball:) So we decided to take some pictures to see if my stomach was bigger or the bowling ball...well they are pretty darn close!! Clay also does a great impression of me!!

Couples Shower

Yesterday, Lauren & Bryan had a couples shower for Brantley, Ellie & I; it was a blast! We watched the UK/UofL game, Brantley & Bryan cooked ribs & Lauren did a fabulous job on the details of the shower! 

Ellie's Baby Shower!

On Aug. 9th 3 of my wonderful friends (Wendy (my sister), Lauren and Mary Kempton) gave us a baby shower! It was an amazing baby shower filled with lots of friends and great things for Ellie! We are so blessed to have such wonderful people around us! Here are some pictures from the shower...

Ellie's Room 98% finished!!!

Ellie's room is almost finished & many of you have asked for some pictures, so here is her room (minus a couple finishing touches)! Hope y'all enjoy it as much as Brantley & I do! 

My 30th bday & 10 more wks!

We have 10 more weeks left! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by & we have so much going on in the next 10 weeks!!! I celebrated my 30th bday last wed & it was great bday thanks to my wonderful husband! Brantley surprised me with a beautiful DY ring & dinner at our neighborhood Mexican restaurant with some friends, plus I had a prenatal massage that afternoon (highly recommended for you pregnant people)! All in all it was a wonderful birthday & I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful husband & a beautiful baby girl on the way! 

And down the stretch we come...

We are in the 3rd trimester! How exciting! I can't believe how quick the time has flown by! Ellie is enjoying herself, moving around and listening to what daddy has to tell her! Every night he talks to her; he let's her know all the fun and exciting things she has been receiving! She seems to listening, because she stops moving when he talks and then starts again when he stops. 

We have been really busy the past 2 weeks getting the house ready for our new member. Tomorrow we will have a new roof on our house and Wednesday we will have new kitchen countertops! Plus, this week we are getting ready for my mom, Brantley's mom, my sister and so many more to come to Ellie's baby shower! We can't wait to see everyone! 

The NEW swimming pool!

So about a month ago we purchased a pool for the backyard (we're "testing" pools before Ellie gets here!), that pool wasn't the best so we have a NEW one and it's AMAZING! It's big and so comfortable, I mean you can seriously lean back, kick your feet up and go to sleep. Just ask Brantley, he slept in it for 2 hours! Plus, the alligator matches the pool, Beaux hasn't warmed up to the alligator yet-he's not sure why the alligator moves in the water (the wind blows him around from end to end and Beaux tries to catch him!). Ellie loves it already, she was kicking up a storm when I was sitting in it! I think we might have a lil' swimmer!
