Little Fish

Last Friday, Landry completed her two week swim lessons.

At first when we started she wasn't quite sure about going back

there by herself and then quickly got the hang of it.

The thing about these swim lessons is that the parents don't watch,

so I had no clue if she was even learning anything.

Last Friday, they had all the parents come back and then each of the

kids shows off what they've learned.

I was amazed at Landry!

She did so good.

When I was her age, I practically lived in a pool

so I was so excited that she loves it too.

Friday night, we went over to Dani and Bobby's house since they couldn't come
to the class on Friday, and she swam all by herself, dove in and is loving the pool now.
The hard part is now getting her out of it!



Time with my girl

Last week and the week before that, Landry had swim lessons in the mornings.

I decided to take the mornings off from work and spend some time with my girl.

We had so much fun and got used to sleeping in in the mornings and doing whatever we wanted!

Here are just a few of the things we did together.

We swam



We played at the park





We went over to the Boozer's house and swam some more



We spent Father's Day with our favorite guy



The bump and I had to leave for Nashville for work

I watched Landry on her final day of swim lessons

We got to see one our favorite families, The Shulls

Shay and I have been friends for 20 years.  Trust me when I tell you,

she knows me, the real me!

Saturday morning, as a treat, I took Landry for her first pedicure!

As my mom says, her first of many!

She loved it.

She just sat there while they rubbed her feet and she picked a pretty purple out.

The final product!

I love this girl so much, and I'm looking forward to many more years of

mommy daughter time.

Gender Reveal Party

Friday night, we had family and our closest friends over to celebrate this baby.  I had the cutest shirt made for Landry.  She was so proud to be the big sister that night!

The theme for the party was "What Will It Bee?". 

I found some of the cutest ideas on my biggest waste of time Pinterest.

I had everyone who thought it was a girl wear pink

And everyone in the boys corner wear blue. 

You can tell what pretty much the majority thought!

And... It's a boy!

We are so excited to have a boy!  As Tim and I went in the sonogram room that day, we got so excited wondering what this baby would be.  As soon as she asked us if we wanted to know the gender and we both said yes at the same time, he decided to show us exactly who he was!  It was hilarious. 

We had a great time at our party and my girl loved hosting all her little friends!
