Beautiful Little Soccer Player

Can you believe that my little girl is so grown up? She had so much fun on Saturday at her 1st soccer game of the season.

It was a HOT day but she played her best!

We are excited this year as Rylie started soccer with our good friend Torri as her coach and Evan and I as her assistant coaches. She is going to be a great soccer player! Her Daddy is so proud.

My Beautiful Wife and New Daughter

With all the hustle and bustle of a new one and Val's first full day being home from the hospital falling on her birthday I didn't get a chance to write a Happy Birthday post about Val and tell her how lucky I am to have her in my life. She's a mother of 3 beautiful girls and does nothing but think about them and our family, she is AWESOME! She does so much for our little family and wants us to be happy, that's what makes her happy. I just want to tell her I love her and appreciate Everything she does for me and our girls.

I love you Val!

Rylie and Saige came to the hospital to hang out with Mom and Baby Dylann. They were pretty excited to hold Dylann together.

Picking up Mom and Dylann

Rylie and Saige helped me go pick up Mom and Dylann from the hospital. They've been very loving of Dylann.


Val is now home and doing well, Dylann is doing good and enjoying her sleep and eating...and other things...

13 more days...but who's counting?

I will never be able to describe the intensity of the 'nesting' instinct that is kicking in with me right now. I made a list today of the 'few' things (Yes, the word few is sarcasm) that need to be done within the next 13 days. I think I may go insane if I have to keep my list in my head. There is so much to do, and so little time. Although, I don't think I would prefer that this pregnancy last any longer.

The only problem with my list is that 99.9% of the items on the list are needing to be done by someone other than myself...namely Evan. My boy has spent every waking hour of the last month or more working. If he isn't working at work, then he is working at home and I have to admit that he has been great to keep plugging away at his honey do list. He has built an entire bedroom in the basement for my niece who will be living with us for the school year, doing nearly everything on his own. We definitely appreciate those who have helped out, especially my brother who contributed his electrical expertise. In fact, Evan is downstairs right now texturing and priming the bedroom. I am lucky to have such a hard working husband! We are seeing the light at the end of that project but it is a bit short lived since we haven't even started on the baby's room. Yes, thats right! We haven't even started...and yes, I said we only have 13 days. We will have carpet installed on Monday in Mckenzie's new room. Which will then give us the chance to start on the baby's room.

Whew! I just keep having to tell myself that ready or not...here she comes.
