for the little one...

so i don't usually write about politics, philosophy or anything of a very serious nature on our blog...that is billy's job....but since the little one is mine i figured i could get away with this post...today we bought the little guy's first book...

those of you who know billy at all know that he can't get enough of politics/philosophy...and well i'm rather political myself so of course we would choose a child's version of ayn rand's atlas shrugged to help bring our child into the world of reading...

oh yes he did....

for my birthday billy took me shopping....and he just couldn't help but park here....

of course i threw a fit....and told him i'm not that pregnant yet....but he made me anyway!....i'm wondering now who is reaping the benefits of this situation....don't get me wrong...in the dead of winter i will love this little advantage...but until then...really? really....

really? in only two weeks...

update for you....i feel like the only thing i ever blog about anymore is my ever growing belly! haha...but that's ok because i have fun with it....so here you go....

19 weeks...........................................21 weeks

you might not see the difference...haha but i do...and it's hilarious to me how fast this little guy is growing! and a little scary being that i still have 18 weeks left to go!!!! ahhh!

on a side note....thanks to everyone who called and text and sent messages on my birthday! i am truly blessed by all of the people i have in my life! so thank you! my birthday was so fun and i was definitely spoiled!!!

billy's blog...

ok...so by popular request (amber :) ) i am highlighting billy's website...yes he has his very own website! i know, i thought i was cool with our very own blog for all to read on the internet...but once again he has one upped me and created his own website, with the help of his brother jordan of course. while on his website be sure to check out his tabs...they link to his blog, and various other things....his website has been displayed on the left side of our blog for a couple months but i do believe its time to give it the attention it deserves! so go check it out!

don't ask how he scored his own name...i have no idea....

the backyard....

our labor day excursions included a makeover on our backyard...which was very needed....it was pretty much just dead grass and dirt trails left behind from our beloved lyric....billy's padres came down for a quick weekend visit and helped us rebuild our yard! they were awesome and so hard working....i felt really bad my little pregnant self watching everyone do the hard work and heavy lifting but they were all troopers! billy has been trying to nurse our yard back to life for a couple weeks and it is doing fairly well...although probably won't be completely recovered until next year....

so the project this weekend included a flower bed, a garden area, a chiminea, some pavers and a sprinkler system! and we got a whole lot done....so a special thank you to momma and papa bush because they did an amazing job and we really appreciated all of their help....so here are some pictures of our newest updates...

the garden area....

flower bed
chiminea....we still have a lot of work to do...the garden will be planted next year and the pavers hopefully will be finished before the winter...but it just looked so nice out there tonight we couldn't help but enjoy a little bit of home cookin'....

fall weather....

does anyone else just love this wonderful, cool fall weather we have begun!? i'm looking forward to tonight...home made pizza and an artichoke enjoyed in our new backyard next to a warm chiminea fire.... mmmm end of summer beginning of fall nights....i'm lovin' it....
