Jack Has a Little Sister





She's finally here! My neice Kate Elizabeth Rowe was born on Wednesday, June 24, 2009, at 6:30 a.m. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. and 20 inches long. It's hard to believe we actually got a girl! Let's hope she's not the only one! I will get to see her when I'm home for the 4th of July. Can't wait!!!

A Good Laugh!

Last weekend, I spent the weekend preparing my house for being tented for termites (I have new landlords who are moving in upstairs). Then, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the house was tented. I got back in Wednesday afternoon and have been cleaning and doing laundry since then. Of course, I also worked all week, too. Needless to say, by the time last night rolled around, I was coming down with a cold and was exhausted. But, about 6 p.m., my friend Barbara called and we headed out to see The Proposal with Sandra Bullock. It was hysterical! I laughed out loud throughout the movie...and chuckled at many places in between. And, I wasn't the only one in the theater laughing either.

The Bum Scoot

So, I cannot figure out how to tip this video so that it is the correct direction...but, this is one of the cutest things ever. Tyler can crawl, but he prefers to scoot on his bum. I'm guessing it's because he can see better that way. And, it's also a very efficient way to get around because he's really fast at it!

Be Patient...

It takes about 60 pages or so to figure out what is going on and decide you want to keep reading this book; after that, it's just about as hard to put down as one of the Twilight books.  No doubt, it's a VERY different story than any of the books in the Twilight series; but, I've decided Stephenie Meyer is just a good writer/story teller.  I like her stuff.  Now if only we could get her to publish something else.  It's summer and I'm ready for more.

Tyler Turns 1!

I can't believe it!  The little guy is already one!  This weekend, I took a long weekend and headed out to D.C. to celebrate Tyler's first birthday with Eric and Sheree.  The trip was fun, but way too short.  Still, I wouldn't have missed it for the world!  Here are some photos from the celebration.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

I flew home to Modesto for 24 hours this weekend for my sister-in-law Cindy's baby shower on Saturday. (For my Modesto readers, it was held at the Sherwood Forest pool.) It was a quick trip, but well worth it! I cannot wait to have a neice!
Cindy has been the secretary in the Young Women's program at church, so we invited the Young Women and their mom's. The girls had so much fun and LOVED all of the gifts!

Cindy is taking the picture, so she's not sitting at the table with us...Aunt Holly, Aunt Stephanie, Emily, me, and Cindy's mom Penny.

Melissa and I were in charge of the games. This was baby Jeopardy.
These are 2 of the gifts in my gift bag...I didn't get the quilt finished in time for the shower, but I did manage to do enough shoppin to be out of control and I got the fleece done.
