Baby 'Berry

Elizabeth (Due 7-27-09), Megan (Due 7-31-2009),and
Audrey (Due 9-9-2009)
It has been FUN to be pregnant with 2 other girls in our Couple's Bible Study!! Saturday was Elizabeth's Shower. They aren't finding out if they are having a boy or girl- it will remain a mystery until late July!! They did a lot of cute things at the shower:
*really good raspberry/mint punch served in Mason jar's with a bow around them
* A little candy station as you left--guests filled up a cute bag with a variety of candy
*It was a brunch--so there was all kinds of good food: a yogurt station--you could top it with granola, raspberries, strawberries, chocolate chips..etc.. and they made a delicious quiche too
*Monkey Bread---YUM--when's the last time you had monkey bread??

Memorial Day Weekend

Derrick & Adrienne hosted their 1st Annual Memorial Day Cornhole Tournament at their house on Saturday. 30 people put $10 in the pot to play and Brandon and his partner Keith won the whole thing!!! He brought home $100!!! Yay!!!
I had to work on Sunday and Monday-- but Brandon got to work at home. He painted the nursery and built an awesome bookshelf for the nursery-- he is so handy!!!

I got to stop by and say Hi the the Fischer family-- Look at how cute Elizabeth Grace is!!!! She is smiling and showing all kinds of sweet expressions!!! (she is 2 months old)Allison, Elizabeth Grace, and Me

Kelli and Brian brought Brian's mom (Linda) up to see the lake. She was in town for the Holiday weekend--visiting from Missouri!!!

Last week we got together to celebrate with Pattie (a good friend from work) as she awaits the arrival of her baby girl #2 that is scheduled to arrive June 8th!!!
This is a late entry--but, here is a picture from our "Girl's Trip" to the Highlands/Cashier's a few weekends back. We went on a hike with a beautiful view.

Motherhood

Happy Mother's Day Mom and Mrs. Crim!!! It is so crazy to look at these pictures of our Moms just starting out with us--and to think that we will just be starting out with our own soon!!! WOW!! We are so thankful for our Moms and glad we got to be with them to celebrate on Sunday!!

Mom and Me!!! Mom came up on Sunday to celebrate Mother's Day-- we hung out at the lake, walked Hank, and went out for Mexican. Since she makes the best pies ever--(especially apple)--we got her an "apple corer/slicer/peeler"-- Have you ever seen one of these??? They are so neat and save so much time-- I saw it at a friend's house and had to get my mom one--

Brandon and Mrs. Crim!!!! We got to go to lunch on Sunday with Brandon's family--Mr. & Mrs. Crim, Kelli and her boyfriend Brian, and his Grandmother and Grandaddy Rogers. We got Mrs. Crim an orange shirt that will look cute on her this summer!!!
****CHILD BIRTH CLASS****-- It is so much FUN to have 2 of the other couples in our Bible Study pregnant at the same time as us. Elizabeth & Austin are due on July 27th and Audrey & Ben are due 9-9-09. Elizabeth's Mom is a nurse that teaches Child Birth Classes--so, it has been such a blessing to have her teach us three couples in our own private class!!! She showed us this funny video about what Bill Cosby has to say about Child Birth-----

****TIPS FROM MOM'S****
I had such a Fun weekend-- went to Cashiers, North Carolina with 5 of my girlfriends Friday night to Sunday morning. We Celebrated everyone turning "30" this year!! They are all Mom's already-- Chanler has "Marshall" and baby boy # 2 on the way, Jill has "Hudson", Michelle has "Katelyn", Kelly also has a "Hudson" and "Adeline", and Laura has "Tove". (we missed Anne who has "Elizabeth"!!) The girls left all the babies at home with their husbands for the weekend!! It was fun to hear all their stories and get lots of tips and advice!!! I don't have any pictures loaded yet-- but, we had a wonderful time!!!

Here is a shot of my growing belly from today!!! 28 wks 5 days!!! July 31st is going to be here before we know it!! I can hardly wait!!!
