{First Night @ The RACES}

Well, it's late, and I'm exhausted ... Ryan & I have been stuffing wedding invitations for FOREVER now, and blah ... I never want to lick another envelope ever again! We actually had a pretty eventful day, but I am sad to say I didn't have my camera with me the entire time ... I know ... sad!

However, Ryan and I went to pick out our wedding bands ... yea ... I love mine, and I actually think Ryan is really excited about his. You'll have to wait to see what they look like :)



Ryan, Kayla, Braeden and I drove up to the lake this afternoon. We were able to stop at Ryan's Uncles lake house and get a tour ... awesome ... I would LOVE to live out there, it would feel like a vacation every day! But the real fun started when we took Braeden to the races for the first time. He didn't know what to think, but it was fun. My favorite part? Braeden getting to wear the coolest ear protectors ever! Would I ever do it again? NO, I couldn't enjoy them because I was taking care of him the whole time, but I am glad we at least got to try it once.



Did I mention Ryan & I went to go see Kasey Kahne on Wednesday? Yeah, it was pretty awesome. If you didn't know already, we are HUGE Kasey Kahne fans (Budweiser NASCAR Driver.)

This is Kasey Kahne ... I Swear! {In the red up top}

Happy FATHER'S DAY Dads!

Check back tomorrow, and I'll tell you what I got Ryan ... I am WAY excited to give him his gift ... I don't think I will EVER be able to outdo myself....

{Cody, it looks like we're be coming to KC very soon}

{And a special shout out to my parents for celebrating 30 years together... Love you Both!}

{On The MOVE}

It is both a good feeling and a sad feeling the day you realize your little boy is no longer "little." Of course he is still a baby, but our 7th month year old is not the boy we brought home from the hospital.

First Braeden went through the realization that he had hands ... whoa, I know. But he is WAY past that now. Yes, now Braeden is mobile. Before you say ... "He is only 7th months and he is walking and getting into things?" No, no, no. Ryan and I bought him a walker, and let me tell you ... he is EVERYWHERE and getting into EVERYTHING! He has mastered the walker in just a few short days, and now he can get anywhere he wants. He chases the dogs, gives me bruises on the back of my heals, and is getting into things he shouldn't. Can someone say ... "Time to BABY PROOF?"



Impessed yet? Oh Just wait ... Today was filled with new surroundings for Little Man. As soon as the sunscreen hit his skin he was ready to jump in. The Truman Hotel is next to our house and they have a pool that is hardly ever used. Since no one is ever there, we thought it would be a good place to introduce Braeden to the POOL! Let me just say ... HE LOVED IT. It took about 15 minutes until he actually let loose and decided it wasn't so bad, but what a blast we had. We were able to stay for about and hour and a half until we sat down under some shade for a bottle break and Braeden was O... U... T... OUT! It was the cutest thing. I can't wait for more pool adventures!
