Jon's week while I was away

While I was gone Jon had a fun packed week! Jon's Brother Tim came to visit! They played golf, went hiking and watched lots of movies! Also they grilled out a lot and my husband cooked! Also I think all the guys did laundry at my house! This was funny to me! But here are a few pictures from the hiking trip!

Baby Shower

So July 11th I flew home to go see all my family! WOO HOO!! I had missed the south oh so much! It was nice to see green the closer that I got to Atlanta! After landing we went to the mall in Douglasville to shop a little! (My favorite thing to do is to shop with Mom!) And then we had lunch at Johnny Rockets! Yum! Then on to Babies'R'Us! I love that store! I do not think I can describe how much I LOVE THIS STORE! We got lots of fun things! My Mom finished by several things to add to my gift from Lolli and Pop! And well I just am addicted and can not help myself! Yes I said it! But they had a new swaddler that was aqua with chocolate trim that Tyler had to have and well a few other items as well! Then time to go to Bama and we stopped in to see my Nana! She was so excited!

Sunday I woke up late, go figure I was still functioning on two hours behind! But I did make it to church and then lunch with the in-laws! It is so great seeing everyone at church and then spending quality time with the in-laws! It was nice to see family! Sunday when I got back to Mom and Dads house I got presents! :) My Mom gave me my Diaper Bag and all kinds of adorable outfits! I can not wait for my little guy to get here and put him in all of them! I was so sad that I could not show all of them to Jon but I took pictures and sent them to him! Wow I didn't realize how much I was going to miss him!

Monday morning my Mimi came and picked me up and let me go to Dillards and pick out some adorable things for my sweet little boy and then we had lunch at one of my favorite places in town, China Luck! It was so yummy and I stuffed myself! Bad thing was all the salt plus the humidity I was swollen like a blowfish that needed to be popped! I literally thought I was going to pop! After Mom got home we hit the town trying to finish getting things for the shower!

Tuesday I had lunch with one great friend and her adorable son! He was such a entertainment! It was so great to see her and spend some time together! Jamie and her Mom gave Tyler some adorable sleepers and a cute little pull toy! After lunch and Jamie left my Moms I placed my self in the swimming pool! Heaven on Earth! I enjoyed it so much! It took all the swelling out of my feet and hands! Loved it!

Wednesday I had lunch with Jon's parents and sisters! We had mexican and it was wonderful! Such a good time visiting with them. Then when I got home I went with my parents to Atlanta to pick up my sister and Ansleigh at the airport! Yeah! It was so good to see them!

Thursday morning was going to be a great day! Today was the day for the haircut! I was so excited to get to see Jan as well. So we cut 11 inches off! Yes I said 11 inches I feel like a new woman and a huge weight was gone! Long thick hair in the middle of the desert pregnant is no fun! I am so happy with it! That afternoon we took Ansleigh back for her first haircut! She was so cute but was no sure about this haircut thing! But she is so adorable now! We also went to go visit Mrs. Eva! She was so excited to see Ansleigh for the very first time!

Friday was a busy, yet fun day! We got up and went to the church to set up for my shower and get everything ready! It looked so great! Then at lunch time my Mom's office gave me a baby shower! It was so much fun! We had Mata's pizza (YUMMM) and yummy cake! I really appreciate them thinking of us at this special time! We took Ansleigh home for a nap and then that night we went to eat at Red Lobster Friday! It is our favorite!

Saturday we had my shower and it was fantastic! I really appreciate everyones efforts to make it such a special day! Baby Tyler got so much great stuff! We feel really blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives! After the shower we cleaned up and headed home! I was told I had to put my feet up and rest and after a while I got up and went through all the gifts! Man I didn't even remember all that I had gotten! It was fun and I got to take pictures for Jon so that he could see everything. Later that night we went to Martins to exchange some sizes and then to Target to take back some doubles. Mom and Carrie took me through Target telling me all the stuff I needed that I had not got yet. I had no clue everything that was in my cart! LOL. It was a blur of "you will need these" and "okay" and when I checked out all I knew was that I had gotten stuff that I needed! It was fun though.

Sunday morning I got up and went to church and then had lunch with the St. John's. It was great and I got to visit some with Ricky as well. I miss getting to see him some when we lived so close to each other. After getting home we all played in the pool with Ansleigh! She loves the pool! She is so cute!

Monday we got up and got ready and after Ansleigh's nap we went to Birmingham. We went to Babies'R Us to go finish getting my big items. I got so much stuff it was great! I felt so much better knowing that we had everything almost that we needed!

Tuesday was a sad day! We got up early to take Carrie and Ansleigh to the airport! So sad to see them go! Buggy did not want to leave her Pop! She loves him and her Lolli! Then we tried to waste time before my flight! Man we got bored! We roamed Target TWICE! But the good thing about target was I found my baby monitor for less than half price because they are changing the color of my monitor! Crazy, but good for us! I also found some other things marked cheap! Yeah for baby! And at Ross we found Tyler a Braves onsie! He is going to be so cute in it! Mommy is going to have to take him to game and send pics to daddy! Later that day I finally got to go to the airport and get on my plane! I totally decided that flying by yourself pregnant is STINKY! I arrived in Phoenix to my sweet husband all dressed up in a suit! (SO HANDSOME) He had cleaned the car all up and we got home he had cleaned the house, done the dishes, and washed the clothes! WOW! It was great!

So to sum this up a great week but I missed my hubby lots! I do really want to Thank all our friends a family for the great showers!

26 weeks

Our sweet baby boy is growing so fast! He is so cute and adorable and can do all kinds of tricks! He has sucked his thumb and blown bubbles for us! I loved seeing his sweet face and his little feet! I can not wait to see him again! I love getting ultrasounds every 4 weeks! Such a blessing!

Las Vegas, Baby!

Vegas, What can I say? It is what everyone says it is! We had a blast! It is amazing place to go and visit and to say that you have visited there!

First I am going to start by saying please do not let anything I say offend anyone! It is my personal opinions!!!!!

Thursday night we flew in late at night! My first flight pregnant and it was a little scary! Thank goodness it was super easy and my blood pressure stayed perfect! And yes I flew with my blood pressure monitor just in case I needed it! I was so nervous! But praise the Lord everything went perfect and it was a easy flight! When we got to Vegas we got our luggage and got transportation to our hotel! We had reservations at Caesars Palace, which by the way was fantastic! We checked in and then went to check out our room. The room was a fantastic as we could have imagined! I loved the huge tub!! After wondering around a little we decided to go to bed!

Friday morning we slept in a little and then went to brunch at one of the buffets at Caesars. It was yummy and I was starving! Then we went shopping and exploring in Caesar's! We bought Tyler a adorable pair of pants at Gap, Jon a new suit from Banana Republic, and some golf stuff at the Nike store! After shopping we went back to our rooms to get ready for dinner and our show. We walked from Caesars to MGM! What was I thinking??? But when we got there we looked around MGM and then went and had dinner at Emeril Legasse's Cajun Seafood Restaurant. It was so yummy. After dinner we had show tickets for KA by Cirque du Soleil. The show was amazing I would advise it to anyone going to Vegas as a must see! After the show we took a cab back to Caesars.

Saturday morning we got up and got ready and decided to walk around Vegas after we had brunch at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill. We went to see the Venetian, the Mirage, and a few others around there. Lots of walking but a great time! We were all tired and needed to get ready for dinner and show that night so back to our rooms we went! Jon took a nap and I took one in the huge jacuzzi tub! Then we had dinner at Joe's seafood, Prime Steakhouse, and Stone Crabs! Wow is all I can say! It was so yummy! After Dinner we went to see the Jeff Dunham Show. We all laughed so hard we cried! It was great! After that we realized we had missed all the fireworks but went to see the Fountains at the Bellagio at night time! And they were amazing as usual! Love the music with the lights and the water! It was great!

Sunday was going to be a sad day because Kevins wife had to leave but we started the day out at the Pool! One the pools were amazing and two first time in the pool pregant equals amazing! After Pool we had lunch at Seredipity! The frozen hot chocolate was so yummy! Then Kevin's wife had to go to the airport and we took a cab to the Bass Pro Shop! Yes I did say that! My dear husband loves that store. Well acutally not the one in Vegas because it was stinky but all the others! After that we went back and did some more exploring and then had dinner at Boa Steakhouse. I think everyone should eat there once! It was the best restaurant I have ever eaten at! YUM!

Monday we got up and finish packing up and then we checked out and left our luggage with conceirge so that we could spend the day roaming until our flight later that night! What a great trip! We enjoyed every moment! I think my feet thought I was being cruel to them but other wise it was a wonderful trip!

IT"S A BOY!!!!!

So I can not believe that we forgot to post this yet! But Most already know! We are having a sweet little boy on October 14th! His name will be Tyler Dean St. John! I can't believe this is all real yet! The pictures were from 22 weeks.

Patagonia

Hey, yes I know this was a little late but I lost the camera cord to upload the pics!

The weekend after Memorial Day we rented a boat and some friends own a RV and we all headed to Patagonia to enjoy the weekend on the lake! It was fantastic! Camping in the RV and the boys all went fishing most of the day and Saturday and Sunday morning! On Sunday before loading up Jon took me and Mocha on a boat ride! It was Mocha's first time on a boat! She did so good!

On Saturday we had planned for all 4 guys riding on the boat we had rented but well it was sinking! Kind of funny! Two of the guys came back and rented a different boat so everyone could enjoy! Jon seemed to be the fisherman of the group that weekend. He did really good and I am proud! We all had a blast and had some great food!

Memorial Day Weekend!

So Memorial Weekend fell perfectly this year right after my Birthday!! So my Birthday present from my wonderful husband was a trip to Disneyland!!!

Thursday we went to Tucson and saw the new Terminator movie which was great! Then we did some shopping! Which I loved! Then after some dinner we went to the Train station and got on the train headed to LA! So I have to say we were both very excited to take our first train ride but after I was a little disappointed! Night trips are not that much fun! I could not get comfortable (could be the pregnancy) but I could not get my feet to reach the stand and if they did my back would cramp up! Finally early that morning we put the suitcase in the floor in front of me and it was fantastic so I took a nap! LOL

Once arriving at the train station Jon's brother was waiting on us! So happy to see him! The LA train station is beautiful! We decide to go exploring downtown a little and it was so neat! We went through Chinatown and the fashion district. We also saw the Disney Concert Hall which is amazing! Then we went to Beverly Hills and had lunch at this little Coffee/Cafe! YUMMY!!! And to top off lunch "Dr. Mark Sloan" from Grey's Anatomy was eating his lunch there as well! I was very happy to see him! It took a while to get my poor husband to realize who he was! HAHA!!! Next on our stop was Rodeo Drive (of which poor Jon had not heard of over half of the stores) It was so pretty! Then we rode through all the gorgeous houses! Several are owned by Celebrities but we just didn't know which ones! LOL! Still pretty!



Later that night we went to eat Dinner at this fantastic Seafood restaurant! The Blue Water Grill is set on the harbor in Venice Beach. It was so yummy but we had the weirdest waiter ever! Oh well! After we went exploring again and went further up the coast to go to Tim's favorite coffee shops new store opening. Well needless to say I have never seen that many people before and especially not for a coffee shop! We did the drive by and made our way back to the house so that we could be at Disney by 7:30 the next Morning!

So Saturday we woke up early!! (WAY EARLY FOR ME) We drove to Disney and almost ran to make our reservations at Goofy's Kitchen! Let me tell you I have always loved Character breakfast but the food here was amazing!!! Their specialty is peanut butter and jelly pizza, I know sounds gross but it was amazing I could have eaten the whole pizza by myself! They have lunch and breakfast foods of every kind! So Yummy! I was very glad to be walking all over the park! Next stop was Disneyland! We automatically felt like little kids again! It was great! It was both Jon and I's first time to Disneyland but Jon's first time to anything Disney! Man what a great time we had!

First stop was to get me a Disney hat! So cute they had a birthday one and I got my name on it! YAY! Then we went straight to space mountain so that the boys could put in there fast passes. Then we were off the ther bathrooms (For one of the OH SO MANY trips) and Its a small world! We went to Toon Town and got to go in Mickey's House! Then we went to Indiana Jones Ride, the boys rode the ride and I ate Apples and peanut butter! Go Figure! We also went to California Adventure Land! We went all over both parks and rode as much as we could! So much fun! We watched the Pixar Parade in California Adventure Land and then ran over to Disneyland to see the Celebration Parade! Both were great! Then we had dinner at the Blue Bayou in the New Orleans section of Disney! It was great! Next were the fireworks! Wow I have never seen so many people in one spot! Yikes! The fireworks were great! And Tinkerbell flying over the castle the whole time was amazing!!! Man was I tired and I think everything on me was swollen by this point! We roamed around to see some of the sights all lite up and to see the Castle! We had not been to Sleeping Beauty's Castle! So pretty!



Sunday we went to Church with Tim and the flew to the Train Station! We were running through that place like crazy people and I wanted to cry from being stressed by the time we got on the train! So on the way back to Tucson we were! We got there around midnigh and on our way to Sierra Vista we were! So glad to be back home in our bed! We were so tired and were very glad to have a day to relax!
