Time to brag on my brother!

I've got to give a little shout out to my brother, Karson! He completed his goal of climbing all 54 14,ooo-ft. mountains in Colorado! It's taken him 14 years to accomplish this goal. He climbed many of the mountains by himself. I wish I could post pictures of him on every summit. He is such an inspiration to us all. I truly cannot imagine doing what he did. I've climbed 7 of the 14ers and just never got into it like he did. He has loved climbing since he was born!!! The Memphis paper did a very nice article on. Here's a link to the wonderful article.

Way to go Karson!! We're all so proud of you!

Sweet BABY GIRL!!

On Tuesday of this week Andrew and I went in for the 20 week ultrasound and got to see adorable pictures of our BABY GIRL!! My mom was able to be there for it as well, and it was very special to have her here. I must admit that I had already made up my mind that it was a boy. Andrew had felt the same way too, and we had picked a few boys names that we really liked. So when the ultrasound tech announced that we were having a girl, I think we were in shock! But we are so excited to have this blessing in our life and now, I think we are getting used to the idea of a daughter.

While my mom was here, we did lots of shopping and running around and couldn't resist buying things for our baby girl. We even picked out bedding and some decor for her room. If you know me very well, you know that pink is not my favorite color. So we're going with an adorable green and brown theme and I just love it!! I really wasnt planning on getting all this done for the nursery, but it's coming together so well. I know that Andrew and I will both have a really busy fall so it's nice to have all this taken care of. Here are some pictures of our girl and her cute room!

Waving to the world!

She may be sucking her thumb or just putting her hand in front of her face. So cute!

My sweet mom who spent the week helping me get the room ready!

5 months!

One of my dearest friends Jensey stopped in Louisville with her husband Nate. We were able to grab a quick lunch together. I have known Jensey since kindergarten and she is still such a wonderful friend. She and her husband are currently living in Orlando and are awesome wedding photographers, but they will be moving to Nashville soon, so it will be great to have them so close!

June Happenings

I can't believe it's JULY!!! Where is this summer going? Andrew and I didnt have too much time to recover after our trip to Africa and Italy! We had a friend's wedding the weekend we returned. It was a beautiful wedding and the bride was gorgeous! The next weekend, we made a super quick trip down to Memphis to see my family. We had a great time playing with my niece and nephews and telling my family about our trip. I had another appointment with the doctor and June 15 and got to hear that wonderful heartbeat again! I just love it. Here are some pictures from this past month's events!

Andrew and Kale

Nothing better than having a baby fall asleep on you!

Andrew starting to put a crib together! Yes, I know it's a little early,
but once Andrew starts school in August, he has no time!

Here's a belly shot at about 18 weeks pregnant! It just keeps growing.
We have an appointment on July 20 and we get to find out what we're having (hopefully).
