Summer fun...

Summer is going by so fast, and the bump is getting bigger! We are still pretty lazy around here as we prep for her arrival, but we have done a few outings...

I went with some Salyards buddies to see Wicked - my 3rd time! I love it so much! We had a great time :) 

G loves when his daddy comes home from work. He will look for him in the window and scream, "my favorite guy is home!"  Most days, they just hang out outside! One day I found them in the back of Daddy's truck listening to music and chatting away! 

Cypress Academy had one of their parents' day out - pirate theme! Here are the little pirates - G, Jackson, and Ryan!

Mi-Maw kept G one night so we could celebrate our 9th anniversary. She took him to the duck pond nearby - love the look on his face!

He also loves listening to Emmy hiccup! Can't wait until they meet in person - I have been dreaming of that day for a very long time!

We have been taking advantage of Kids Bowl Free - round 1 with AJ!

Round 2 with Joshua and Landon!

Happy 9th anniversary, Hans! Such a fun night that has turned into a fun and crazy life! Wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!

Crazy fun with our friends!

We made a quick trip to the outlet mall where G hitched a ride with Spidey!

And thanks to Daddy for taking G on a trip to the zoo! We now have a membership because I plan to take the kids a lot now that I'm home. This time, I let the boys go so I could rest my little feet and big ol' belly!

They had a great time! Love these faces!

Going on 35 1/2 weeks - August 15 is the big day (if all goes according to plan!), and it can't get here fast enough!!!

This and that...

We are getting ready for baby girl and enjoying a LAZY summer! It is too hot for this big belly to do much. Luckily, big brother is such a trooper and goes with the flow!

We took G to a sibling class at our hospital. I couldn't help but tear up  that  this cool kid finally gets to have a sibling!

Proud of his new shirt!

He learned how to change a diaper and swaddle! He informed  us that he will only be getting the diapers, not changing them :) 

We also finished a week  of VBS at our church. He was hesitant at first, but he did well and enjoyed time with all his friends!

My mom and sister threw me a shower, and baby Emmy received all kinds of goodies!  My sister did a great job of putting many precious details into this day.  All of the guests could leave a note for Emmy and pin them on this board. I can't wait to hang this in her room!

Diaper cake courtesy of my mom - she's pretty talented!

Lemonade and margaritas were served as well. Love the little  pink chevron straws in the mason jars!

Delicious and beautiful cake, pink bath salts as favors, and a bow making station! The girl is set with bows :)

My hostesses - my sister, mom, and me!

My BFF Jenn has moved back to Texas! We celebrated my god daughter  Gracie's 2nd birthday!  I am  SO happy we will live in the same state - and most importantly - CITY! Jenn and family have been away for almost 9 years! Welcome home, Egans!

Nice throwback to middle school here - one of our many NKOTB concerts! Check out my Debbie Gibson hat - now that's HOT!

I had to find the throwback picture in celebration of our girls' night to see our boys once again! I have to say - Joey Joe  is still hot. He made this prego happy :) Here is Amy, Jenn, Page, and me!

More pics of shower and baby prep to come! 

Father's Day 2013

Happy Father's Day, Hans!

We took some time away and headed to New Braunfels over the weekend. G was very excited to give his daddy some homemade gifts and matching Superman shirts!

 We stayed at Geronimo Creek Retreat - what a beautiful, peaceful place! We were able to fish, kayak, swim, and enjoy some meals on the deck. G loved this "treehouse," and we plan to go back!

 Hans has a coworker who has a house in the area. The boys were able to go over and ride jet skis and fish! I think it's safe to say, he loved it!

My BFF, Amy, lives nearby and was able to meet us for a day at Schlitterbahn and a dinner in Gruene. I waddled around the water park, and I loved watching Griffin's excitement. What a fun day! I am so glad Amy was able to join us!

Listening to some music at Gruene Hall...

 Geronimo Creek Retreat

It was a nice weekend away, and we are very thankful for our fun time as a family of 3. Thanks to Hans for being the best daddy/husband we could ask for....you work hard and still make time (lots of time!) for your family. We love you so much!

End of the School Year!

Summer is here! We discovered a new little gem in Houston - the Sugar Land Skeeters! What  a fun place for kids - we played on their giant playground, merry go round, splash pad, and pool! We sat on the lawn and enjoyed a nice family night out!

We also celebrated the retirement of my partner at Cy Fair HS - Jerry Orsak. G loves Mr. Jerry! Even Biff the Bobcat stopped for a picture with G and his buddy, Caden.

Here is Jerry and myself with one of our students - John. Oh John!! You sure did stress us out along the way, but we are so proud of you and your graduation. We enjoyed celebrating with John and his family!

G's sitter, Kristen, also graduated and is headed to Aggieland (WHOOP!). He loves his Kristen Honey, and we are  so proud of her too!

We practiced our summer activities - dressing up and hanging out with Mi-Maw!  Someone is super excited for summer and all the fun ahead - like his sister coming in 8 weeks!

Daddy taught G some shop skills - glad the new garage is getting some good use!

Swimming lessons have ended, and he did a great job! We have a little swimmer on our hands!

Since I have decided to stay home, G will no longer attend the Early Learning Center where he has gone since he was a baby. He loves his teachers, Ms. Odett and Ms. Diana. I can't thank them enough for loving on this crazy kid! It was very hard to say goodbye, but we will be back to visit!

This picture makes me cry every time. G and his BFF, Caden, have been in class together for so long. I know they will see each other quite a bit, but it is still sad they will not be in class together. G is very protective of Caden. Look at their little hands....

Summer is here! Bring on the fun, the sun, and baby girl!
