Big Sister to Be

I realize that my blogging skills are NOTHING AT ALL to speak of. I formerly tried to update my blog every other week, but it has gotten to be more like once a month which is totally unacceptable for our family members that follow and can't get on Facebook.

I have not even been prompt in letting the world know that we are EXPECTING! I am now 13 weeks, which in the picture the baby is 9 weeks. The baby is the blob in the middle of the picture between the two plus signs. It looks a little like a rodent, but we love him/her anyway :) I am so excited to be pregnant (or actually just to have another little blessing, being pregnant is actually not all it is cracked up to be). We have been so blessed with Daley and I know we will be even more blessed with two! Please keep our family in your prayers for the next 27 weeks!

Love,

Lindsey

Zach's 10 Year H.S. Reunion

I so enjoyed Zach's high school reunion! I know he did too. I got to meet a lot of people that he graduated with that I had never met before and got to see some his friends that I have met that we hadn't seen in such a long time.

We started the weekend off with a family picnic. The attendance was not up, but they all had a long night the night before and it was like 95+ degrees. Nevertheless I got a cute pic of Daley chowing on a watermelon.

The night of the reunion a couple of us rode over to the county club together and I have to say the highlight of the night was the band. They were a little hip hop to say the least and no party is a party with out Zach sporting some of his best Dance moves. I also loved the bulldog cake! The Bulldog is their mascot. (Insert Barking Here)

Zach had a really great time, and we had a very interesting ride home since I was the only one not originally from Opelika, but was doing all the driving. The passengers were not in the best condition to direct me on how to take everyone home (namely Zach) and it was a little chaotic!

A good time was had by all, and I inserted pics below as usual!

Love,

Independence Day

We had the best 4th of July we could possible ask for this year! Uncle Pears-Pears (Pearson) came home from East Asia! We have missed him so much this past year and we are so happy he is back. What a better way to celebrate America's Birthday than to return to America.

Zach's parents were so thoughtful and kept Daley Friday the 3rd while her day care was closed so he could study for the BAR exam. We met them at the lake on Saturday the 4th and had beautiful weather. See pics below!

June Because I Am Not the Best Blogger

So I haven't posted in a while...... I could use the excuse that we have been too busy, but since I started this blog I have learned that everyone is too busy to be blogging. It is tough to keep everyone updated on your life! Especially when you know everyone else is having a great summer with lots of vacations and is probably not reading your blog! :) It's just been such great weather since the flood in May!

In June we had several events. Zach's mom celebrated her birthday June 8th (we won't mention which birthday :) We went to D.C./VA the weekend after that to witness two of our dear friends tie the knot and had THE MOST FABULOUS time ever. And, Zach and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary with the satellite technician on June 24th (there's no story there, that's what we did on our anniversary)

Since we didn't actually get to celebrate Zach's mom's birthday with her in Opelika on her actual birthday, and spending our anniversary with the satellite technician wasn't really fitting for a photograph, I have attached a few pictures below of the wedding at a beautiful vineyard in VA and pics of Zach's family and I in D.C. We really did have the best time at Jonathan and Crisina's wedding. There are so many stories to tell and so many that should not be told! I also had never been to D.C. before and really enjoyed our short time there. I think we definitely hit the high points in the day that we had!

Love,

Lindsey

The Boys

Keith Jackson, Zach, Jonathan Graffeo, Matt Eady, Harrison Peer, Brandon Graffeo and Kent Hodges

What would a blog be if you didn't get to post a picture of your husband in which it appears he peed in his pants? Rest easy folks, he just drank to much and spilled his drink all over himself! (Wait is that better than peeing in your pants?)

Pomp and Circumstance

Three years have gone by so quickly and I am so proud of my husband and father of my child! I know that it has not been easy on him to focus with Daley and I constantly requiring his full attention. He has been so disciplined and even with the birth of sweet Daley one day after his Spring 2007 finals! There are not too many people who can pull of what he has with all the stresses a family provides and we are so proud an excited for him!!! We love you Zach!

Too Fast Too Furious

Okay, for those of you that have been around me the past couple weeks, this is ALL I have talked about. I signed Daley up for her first race. The Turtle Trot at the Birmingham Zoo's race for the Orangutans. We have really been training. :) Daley is absolutely obsessed with being fast so I thought this would be a really cool opportunity for her. My biggest fear was that she would panic and not run at all, but it turned out really great!She finished 2nd amongst the females 2 years old and under! We also got some arm bands and were able to walk around the Zoo for the remainder of the day. Too bad the bottom fell out and it started raining at about 10:00, so our visit was cut a little short. Enjoy the pics and maybe this is a sign and Daley will be our next American Track Star!

Zach was so pleased to be up at 6:00 am on a Saturday!

Daley getting crunk for the race!

Look at that girl! She is like lightning!

#2 BABY!

Daley's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Daley's 2nd Birthday last Saturday. I am a little late in posting because we actually video taped the party while my mom and Zach's mom took pictures. I had to wait for them to get some developed so that I could post!

We had the party at the park in Trussville and it turned out great! We were so worried about the rain, since you have probably realized, it has been raining for 40 days and 40 nights! We were so pleased with everything though, and Daley had such a good time with her friends! Thank you all so much for being so good to my sweet girl!
