Peek at Baby Jones

Since I had a low placenta last time, we got to have another ultrasound of the baby. He looks really good and is measuring about 27wks so a little ahead. My Dr will call and let me know if the placenta has moved up or not.

Still a boy

We got a good view of his face and he opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. He sure is Jeff's kid!

Red Door

This is definitely one thing I wish we had done years ago. We painted the door colonial red to make it look more inviting and I am amazed at what a difference it makes. We have the fence left to replace and some staging then the house goes on the market. Now, hopefully that won't take too long but its hard to put up a fence when it has been 105 degrees outside!

Happy 80th Birthday Grandma Cassie!

Jeff's Grandma Cassie had her big 80th birthday this week and we made sure it was special. She had never been in a limo so we arranged for a super stretch limo to surprise her. Her brother and sister and their spouses drove up from Potoeau but just told her they were coming up for lunch. The limo came to get them all then made two other stops to pick up Grandma Cassie's two closest friends and their husbands. The 9 of them rode in the limo out to Yukon for a party at Jeff's aunt and uncle's house where the rest of her family was waiting. She was very surprised and couldn't believe we planned all that without her knowing. Grandma said she and her friends had a great time so that felt good to give all of them a fun day.

Soggy but fun 4th

July 4th is usually blistering hot and dry but this year it was soggy and wet. We weren't complaining though and had a blast anyway. I really wanted to take Jensen to see the parade in Edmond but ended up talking myself out of it since it would be a hassle and so hot. When we woke up in the morning though it was cloudy and fairly nice. So at the last minute we decided to give it a shot. We got a great spot right in the middle of downtown and got to see many cool things. We cracked up when Jensen saw the Shriners and said "hey, that man has a bucket on his head"! There was a big Star Wars float thing and he kept talking about Darth Vader.

That evening, we drove an hour away to Tuttle where one of Jeff's friends from work lives in the country. On the way down, it started pouring but we figured it would pass on time to do fireworks. Jeff spent about $250 on fireworks and could not wait to blow stuff up. He has always told me this is his favorite holiday and its like Christmas to him. We got to Chris and Jayme's house and they were really dissapointed that it was so rainy. They had a moon bounce that had to be taken down, a horseshoe pit and a kiddie pool filled with rain water. You could tell they really planned a lot of fun activities and they kept apologizing for the rain but we didn't mind as long as we got to do fireworks. There was a little boy named Hunter that was a little older than Jensen and they became fast friends. They even helped themselves to the water balloons in the rain

It started to get dark and it was still sprinkling but the guys started the fireworks anyway. The good thing was Jensen wasn't nearly as afraid of the noise this year and enjoyed it a lot more

Jensen didn't understand at first what to do with the sparklers, he kept throwing them out into the yard since he saw Daddy do that with the other fireworks

Hunter and Jensen enjoying the sparklers

We got a bunch of glow stick and Jensen and Hunter had a great time with them. They came in handy too when there was a loud pop.

They were able to keep a fire going in the backyard so we made s'mores which I loved.

Yummy s'mores

the day before, both Jeff and Jensen needed a haircut so we went to Doc's barbershop. This place cracks me up because its like the ones you see in the movies complete with old guys sitting around BSing! Its cheap too

Tiling/grouting is DONE!!

I'm so excited to say that the hall/kitchen/dining room/laundry room tile project is DONE!! It was a mess but it looks so much better than the yellowed blue flower linoleum. Jeff went out of town on business with the laundry room and part of the hall to grout. I got brave while he was gone and decided to do it myself, yes I am 5 months pregnant but that's ok! I managed to scoot the washer and dryer into the kitchen, mixed it, grouted and cleaned up without any help. I must say I am very proud it turned out great! There's no way it would be done without Jeff's parents helping and especially my do-it-all Momma who was here almost every weekend working hard until it was done. I guess she really wants us closer to her he he! Next up is the fence/backyard and some small stuff like painting the front door and touching up then HOPEFULLY we can put the house on the market **fingers crossed**

Here's an old picture of what the floor used to look like (Isn't that baby cute by the way!)

Muddin' Okies

One Saturday a few weeks ago Jeff got this crazy idea that he wanted to take Jensen to drive off-roading. I had no desire to do such a thing so they dropped me off at Jamie's house and went out to lake Draper. I just asked that they bring my poor sickly Beep Beep tha Jeep back in one piece! They had a great time though driving through the mud and Jensen threw rocks in the lake forever. This is what my Jeep looked like when they came back!!

Jensen had fun helping Daddy take it to the car wash

Jeff took this picture and sent it to my phone while they were gone

Since we will have 2 boys soon, I have a feeling days like this may be happening a lot. I'm ok with that though, they can do all the boy stuff they want and give me some ME time!
