Kowe with Big Dog...

We watched the dogs for a few days this past week while Josh's parents were in Jamaica. Actually, Josh stayed with them because Kowe is a little too rowdy for the dogs. She loves them so much, and we thought these pictures were too cute to pass up of her trying to give Mac some lovin. She just wanted to play and finally he got sick enough of her that he finally got up and she just stared at him like, "I love you Big Dog!"

And these pics are hilarious because Kowe knows that she can get away with murder at her Grammy's house. The big dogs' food dishes were on the counter and she was trying to figure out a way up, so she figured that she could get on the table and somehow get over to the counter. Obviously it didn't work, but how funny is her little face?!

And this is a picture that Josh took of us taking a nap, but he woke Kowe up in the process. She's such a cuddle bug.

Shell's Birthday Dinner...

We went to dinner at La Scala for Shell's birthday, and it was really pretty good. We had planned to go see TrevDiesel play, but we opted for some Silver Dipper ice cream instead!

It was great to be able to spend some time with Shell & Dan and Bub & Ryan. We don't get enough time with them, so we decided tonight that we need to make a much better effort, in spite of all of our random schedules! We used to have Family Sundays almost every week so we're going to have to get back to something like that.

Happy Birthdays!!!

I love birthdays!! Today, strangely enough, we have two birthdays! Shell and Ronnie are both celebrating their birthdays...so HAPPY BIRTHDAY GUYS!!!

Sadly enough, we didnt' get to celebrate with either of them today. Ronnie & Patty left for Jamaica today, and we're going out on Saturday for Shell's birthday. But I wanted to make sure to post that it was their birthdays!!

We love you guys!!

It's a......

As a little background, my sister's doctor will only typically do one ultrasound. He's a stickler. We had one back before Christmas, but the baby wouldn't cooperate. So Shell and Dan convinced Dr. McQuaig to do another one, but he said it would be in the spring. Well, we decided we couldn't wait, so we went today to Indy and got a 4-D Ultrasound, where you can see the baby and it's features. It was by far (with the exception of seeing Griffin born) the most amazing thing I have ever seen!!

SOOOOO.............it's a BOY! Another nephew for us!! And the funny thing is, he looks *identical* to Griff! So he's going to be absolutely adorable! We could see him rooting and swallowing and even sticking his little tongue out! They gave them a CD and a tape and lots of pictures, so I may add more, but this is the one I brought home.

Josh was a little freaked out by the eyes. The pic is of his profile, and you can see his ear in the upper left, with his eyes, his nose, and his lips look like they are kissing his little muscle! That's his arm stretched over his face. He's a showoff like his daddy already!!

Now we're even more anxious to meet him!

Our Bridal Party Cookout!

Since Josh's good friend (and groomsman) Travis is in town, we decided to have a cookout with our bridal party so that everyone could meet him. Obviously, Jeremy and Lisa weren't here, which was sad, and our friends, Abby & Billy just had a baby boy this week, so they couldn't make it either, but we had such a great time! Josh made excellent food, and it was a great excuse for a get together in the new house!!

At the end of the night, we played some games, and Wyoming was on TV, so we *had* to watch! Josh and Travis were hilarious. Unfortunately, Wyoming didn't win, but we still had fun! And Kowe was so tuckered out!!! All she wanted to do was sleep, and when we got up this morning, she wasn't ready! She was still sleepy!!

Kowe Sue's New Bed

We have been looking all over for a bed big enough for Kowe because she loves to curl up on our couch pillows, but they're too small for her. So finally this past week, we found a big comfy bed with all kinds of room! She's warming up to it, but still likes the couch.

A trip to the Children's Museum

I took Griff to the Children's Museum in Indianapolis today, along with my friend, Trish, and her little boy, Reed. We had such a blast!! It was a big venture for me, as I've never had Griff out for such a long time, and in this capacity! But we had so much fun, and he and Reed were so good! I can't wait till summer when we can do lots more fun things! And now I'm itching to go to the museum with Josh, I think he'll love it!
