Can you believe it's been 10 years since Doug and I stood in front of God, family and friends pledging to love one another for the rest of our lives? We have been so blessed on this journey, and I can't wait to see what the next 10, 20, even 50 years have in store for us!

Now, as for the 22 weeks...that's how far I am in this pregnancy! I am completely slacking in the belly photos this go around, but that's what happens with each child. Less and less photos...right?

I did go for another ultrasound today. The tech was unable to take the anatomy measurements (head circumference, belly size, liver, femur length, etc) at the last appointment, so I had to go back. I was able to take the kiddos again, but the tech this time around wasn't as sociable. I don't think the kiddos enjoyed it as much, and we didn't come home with that great of pictures. Here were the two best ones...

Everything still measured on track for a due date of Oct 7, so no surprises this visit! We once again chose not to find out the sex of the baby. Dallas and Reba voiced a few times that they would like to know, and Doug even considered finding out. Momma got the final vote, and I said, "Nope. Surprise." Dallas and Reba are both hoping for a brother, and I think that is what Daddy is wishing for too. We shall see come October!

Until next time...

Celebrating 125 Years

Last weekend, our church had a wonderful celebration for their 125th year as a parish. We were blessed to have the bishop in attendance to say Mass, which was followed by an exceptionable pork chop dinner, and games for all. I was able to snap a few pictures of the kiddos playing games...

Little Miss trying to decide which duck she wanted...

There was also a ring toss, hula hoops, and a dunk tank - which the kiddos could have stood at forever watching! We then enjoyed a bowl of ice cream before heading home to take naps :)

Until next time...

Flowers & Veggies!

Growing up, I never cared too much about gardening - both vegetables and flowers, but now I truly enjoy working in the soil and seeing what comes from it. Last week, my rain lily bloomed again! It did much better this time...take a look:

When those 8 blooms were done, there was already another one shooting up to bloom again! I'm so glad that I am able to get such beautiful blooms even if we are in a drought.
Our vegetable garden is also doing fairly well - again despite the drought. We have cut and put up broccoli, finished off the first round of radishes, had our first BLT's for the summer with our own tomatoes, and we have even had fresh green beans one night for supper! The rhubarb that we started this year is growing so well - even better than it did in Iowa! The asparagas, as well as the strawberries and raspberries, are doing good, too. We even planted two peach trees and an apple tree, and so far they are holding their own.

Just this morning, Dallas was up and at it early, so he helped me in the garden. We picked green beans, eggplant, spinach, broccoli and green bell peppers (yes, he really did help pick)

I took the green beans with us to swim class and broke them while the kiddos swam :) Then after lunch, they went into the pressure cooker...6 quarts!

Lastly, I'm definitely late in posting this picture of my flowers, but I'm sure you don't mind...

A week ago Monday, Doug and I celebrated our 7th Wedding Anniversary! Doug had these flowers sent to me (he's sweet like that)

If you didn't see on Facebook, I posted this fun little fact...based on June 4, 2012
‎4,295 days ago - went on a blind date
3,087 days ago - he asked me to be his wife
2,558 days ago - we said "I do"
Happy 7th Wedding Anniversay, Doug!

Until next time...

Milestones...

Today, Doug and I are celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary.

Happy Anniversary, Doug. I love you so much. Thanks for being a wonderful husband and a terrific father. Thanks for the memories we have created thus far, and I look forward to many more years and many more memories to come.

Until next time...

(oh, yea...the other milestone - this is post #500 for DR. Bergman!)

Ladies and Gentlemen...

Start your engines!!!

As an anniversary gift to Doug, which was June 4th, I bought tickets to the Indy Car Series - Iowa Corn 250 race. The race was yesterday, so the tickets also functioned as a Father's Day gift! In addition to the race tickets, I also purchased tickets for the Fan Walk.

With the Fan Walk, we took a shuttle down into the infield before the race, and we were able to walk right behind the pits. Right when we got off the shuttle, we were able to catch a glimpse of Danica Patrick on a golf cart. Then, we saw Scott Dixon and his wife get off their moped. I was able to get their picture...

We saw Victory Lane upclose...

A famous name is Indy Racing...AJ Foyt Racing. (This is Ryan Hunter-Reay's pit.)

The best part of race day...the various hairstyles that you see! This was one of my favs from the day...

After the race, country singer Shannon Brown (of Spirit Lake, Iowa) put on a concert.

We heard her sing a couple of songs before taking a break for the Victory Lane festivities. Doug and I whimped out and left because of the heat. Plus, it was going to be another 45 minutes before she was to come back on stage.

All in all, we had a wonderful time! Aunt Katie came down to the spend the afternoon with Dallas, and they had a great time together as well.

Until next time...
