Proud Daddy and Son!
Mom and Elvis (I mean Colton)...After his bath, the ladies in the nursery styled his hair.
So, no baby yet. He's got exactly 7 hours to get this show on the road if he wants to be born on 7/7/07... We've had a little talk and I just don't think he's quite ready. I've told him that the sun if finally out in North Texas and yet he seems content to stay put. I'm afraid he might take after his mom in the "running late" department. Oh well.Now, I think I'll go for a walk. I know I should appreciate this non-busy time of life, but we're just so ready to meet this little man. I dreamed about him for the first time last night. He had blue eyes and spiky blond hair. Not sure if that is possible with Jack and I's genetics, but we'll see. I've had lots of weird dreams about random things but never specifically about him. Maybe that means he's coming soon. I'm still predicting 7/7/07... I'll keep you posted.
Here we are in the dating years! We had our "first" first date in May of 2003. We went to a restaurant called "Johnny Orleans" in uptown Dallas. Our "second" first date happened in late August of 2003. We went to "Tin Star" and played putt-putt.
Here we are on the evening of our engagement: December 4, 2004.
Our first home: Established June 11, 2005.
The dozen beautiful roses Jack sent for our 2nd anniversary. We celebrated by eating at "Patrizio's" in Highland Park and watching the movie, "Breach." I am bummed that I didn't get a picture of us all dressed up for our 2nd anniversary, but the one below is close enough. This is us now - happily married and awaiting our little miracle, Colton! Parenthood...here we come. Hopefully, we will always remember to date each other and keep our marriage centered on God - the giver of all these good things!
Loyal, patriotic, proud, all-American...these are just a few words to describe my wonderful husband. He is very supportive of our troops and loves American history. However; he gets "beat down" by fireworks. I know! What's more American than fireworks? He says, "Seen one firework, you've seen them all." Ugghh! Thankfully, our little firecracker, Colton, hasn't seen one yet, so Jack will get to experience them for many years to come through his eyes! 
This is me at 9 months pregnant (around 39 weeks and 3 days). We're ready for you, sweet Colton!
This adorable little man took me to the movies today. His name is Javi and he's 5, but wishes he were 13, a penguin and wants to ride in a helicopter soon. He told me all this while we were waiting for the movie to start. It's good to have goals! He was the ringbearer in my wedding and his mom, Jenilee, is a special friend of mine. She is also the one who will be taking care of Colton when I go back to work part time in September! We went and saw "Surf's Up" - It's a penguin movie about surfing. Go figure. AMC Theater has this free movie camp in the summer and they offer older movies for free on Wednesdays at 10 am. Last summer we started the tradition, so we thought we better get one movie in before Colton comes. We had a great time. He made me excited to be a mom to a little boy!
On June 10th, Colton and I were honored with another amazing shower. Pictured are the hostesses and I around the lovely snack table. They used maps for the tablecloth and hung airplanes from the light fixture. They also had gerber daisies inside blue wooden boxes that said "It's A Boy!" So cute! The food was great, too - petit fours, strawberries, grapes, cheddar cookies, and blue and brown m & m's. (Pictured: Darla, Elaine, Jill, Jenni, Kelly, me, Tianay and Cindy)
Sweet, beautiful friends - Jenni, Lisa and Emily.
Four beauties on a couch... Laura, Angie, Lisa and Dana.
Paige, Wilkin, Brittany and Karen - Jack's sweet family made a special trip to attend the shower.
Roxanne, me and Karen. Thanks everyone for such a special day! And a special thanks to my sweet mom. She was the picture taker and helped us take all of our baby gifts home. Coming soon...pictures of the finished nursery and hopefully my last pregnancy picture - as big as I'm going to get...
My wonderful co-workers at school threw Colton and I this amazing shower on May 2! They really went way out! Here's the proud grandma "Bunny", mom and dad! Colton received some tiny "Converse" shoes. They are precious!
Our art teacher made this fabulous sign.
Each table had a suitcase filled with baby essentials and a sweet note from Colton.

Yummy "cupcake" cake! Laura decorated it with scrapbook stickers - so clever!
Colton is one blessed little boy!

Aren't his little hats so cute? I know - I'm a sap - but they're just so little!

Here I am at 35 weeks. And I'm standing in the nursery!!! My wonderful mom did most of the painting. I pretty much rolled for 10 minutes then rested for 10 minutes. I was a very slow helper. There will be a chair rail where the white stripe is eventually. We just couldn't resist putting all the furniture in, even knowing we'd have to move it to put up the chair rail. I've already started putting away his little clothes in the drawers. It is so fun! We still have a few more things to do (there's a map, travel posters and shelves to go on the walls), but it is definitely getting there.
This is the bedding that my super-talented Aunt Cindy made. The photo doesn't do it justice. I will take more photos when we hang the curtain, so you can see it all together.
I had this globe/lamp when I was a little girl. It's so fun to be able to use it in the nursery.
Here's the bedskirt and sheet.
Jordan and Rebekah...
Me and the gifts... Thank you girls for such a sweet shower and all the wonderful presents! We had such a fun time of shopping, talking, eating, talking and playing with all the kiddos. It's such a blessing to walk through the stages of life with these friends. You all have encouraged me more than you'll ever know. Seeing all of you become mothers has been so special, too. I'm so glad I have you to call on when this little boy finally makes his appearance. By the way, I went to the dr. today and am in the middle of my 35th week. According to the doc. everything looks good. I am getting more and more excited especially now that school's out and I can focus on "nesting". 
In other news, our unborn baby boy has taken over our entire house (literally)! We have moved everything out of the nursery in order to get ready to paint. The nursery was kind of our catch all room, so now the "stuff " needs a new home. I'll post some "after" pictures soon.
