Grammy's visit

Grammy flew out to see us a couple of weeks ago... we had so much fun!!!

Sophie's first day of "school!" (its really just a mother's day out program at our church that she goes to once a week, but we call it school!) Last year we always seemed to walk into church behind a girl in Sophie's class who had a backpack with wheels and Sophie would say every time, "I want a backpack like that!" She was so excited to have a new princess "suitcase" of her own to bring this year!

Giving Grammy a good bye hug

Over Labor Day weekend, we took a 3 night camping trip to a lake about 30 miles from Tulsa (I can't remember the name of the lake). It was a really fun camping trip, even though we had a rocky start. Mike had to deal with electrical problems in the trailer before we even left the house, then he took us on the long scenic route to get there (that's my nice way of saying that he got us a little lost, which is very unusual for Mike because he never gets lost!) and we got stuck behind some cute cowboys herding cows down the road from one farm to another (we got pictures of that but they are on Grammy's camera...I'll have to post them later because they are really funny!) We had a great time and really appreciated all of Grammy's help (Mike's 34 week pregnant wife was not much help, so he and Grammy had to do most of the work!) Rascal had fun too and was the best camping dog! He didn't bark and was just content to lie in the pop-up or outside under the shade!

We couldn't resist the air conditioning inside the pop-up...we ended up eating most meals inside!

Sophie and her mommy's favorite part of camping...smores!!

Mike, Grammy and Sophie got to do lots of fishing!

We drove to a cute little town close by for ice cream.

My awesome friends put together a little baby shower for me at the Melting Pot...it was yummy!!!!! I got lots of cute baby boy clothes, a baby book, and some essentials like wipes and baby soap. We still can't believe that we're having a little boy in about a month!!

This shirt says "my mommy is a fox!"

This might have been going on while I was at the shower...as I've said before, Mike is the best daddy to our girls!!!!

Mike and Elsie had a little bonding time at the pond behind our house. He thinks that Elsie is his good luck charm because this is the first bass he's caught in that pond!
