I'm gonna be a Mommy!!! :)

                      So, as usual, ALOT has happened since I last updated my blog. Kennon and I are now expecting our first kiddo this coming July! We are very excited. We believe we are about 12 weeks along and will be having our 1st sonogram on January 2nd!! I so can't wait! Other than the pretty constant morning (a.k.a. All Day) sickness I don't really "feel" pregnant so I'm hoping seeing the baby and hearing the heartbeat will make it a little more real for me! I just can't believe we finally are!! Such a blessing.



              Kennon and I currently have our friends Ashley and Tim staying with us while they get jobs and a place to live here in Angelo. We previously went and visited them this past June in North Carolina. We were able to go to the beach, sightsee, and just have a really good time. So glad we are able to help them adjust to life in a new place!! But, of course, I really can't wait till they have thier own house for me to help Ash decorate and to go visit them at!! Sooo happy she is back in Angelo!!!



Stop in LA to see my Nae :)

Mom and Dad got me the new nike Shox I wanted, and Michelle got mean awesome UT Scentsy! This weekend we head down to Junction to see Kennon's sides of the Fam! Then New Years!!! Can't believe 2011 went by so quickly...

April and May Catch-Up :)

April and  May were great months this year! Easter, Niera's bithday, and Kennon and I's One year Wedding Anniversary! :)

April was wonderful! Easter month! :) Kennon and I attended Easter services at the First Christian Church in Ballinger with my parents, Sister Kayla, and her husband Paul. It was a wonderful service, the Pastor Lynn Smith, did a great job.

We also attended Junctions annual Easter pageant this year. I had never been, and neither had my family. So my Parents, along with Kayla and Paul drove over to meet us in Junction for the play. My Mother in Law, and Father in law were both actors in the play so that made it especially exciting! We really enjoyed the play, I hope I have kiddos to take to it one day.

Then along came May  :) 

May was a particularly busy month. It started off with Miss Eris's Dance recital! As always she was beautiful and did a great job! I was sooo proud of her!

                              Niera's birthday was wonderful. The theme was Dumbo and I got to decorate, and make her cake! I was excited to do something so fun for Miss Niera, Kennon and I's goddaughter!  We held it at the San Angelo City Park under the Pavillion!

Then it was Valentines!! Kennon surprised me with flowers, a new candle, and

candy!!! I got him the headset he has been wanting for his Xbox! We were both super stoked! :) Then we had a wonderful dinner out! I love him so much :)

Kinda at the last minute I ended up gettin to keep the Dotson kiddos for 2 weeks, give or take, while thier G-ma headed to Alaska to help out her son! We also got to go to the San Angelo Rodeo Carnival with the Bonds! We had a blast! Kennon and I had Nico that weekend, so it was great to have some friends with kiddos to go with us!

 

 

 

             

March was a tought month! My 26th birthday fell on a Sunday. That was also the day my best friend had to say goodbye to her hubby as he left to train for 2 months to prepare him to be deployed to Iraq. So we pushed my bday clebrations to the weekend after so we could dedicate my bday weekend to Rannie! Saturday night we had a fun group dinner for him at Zentners... Yummo food!

Then Kennon and I took some of the kiddos (Rafe, and Peyton) out for ice cream! Then back over to Jessica's to hang for awhile.The next day after church we grabbed lunch with rannie, jess, and the kiddos at Sonic and headed out to the airport to eat it and wait for Rannie to board his flight. I got tons of pics for Jess and the kids to have. It was super sad...

 

Peyton always a lil sweetheart!



Makenna's older now so this time
hit her hard... Poor baby!





One of the strongest women

Afterwards we took the kids to the pet store for fish stuff, then home so Jess could kinda de-stress and Kennon decided to play around with the kiddos to help raise thier spirits!! And boy did he ever! He'll b a good Dad one day!
