What a busy blur

It seems everytime I find the time to sit and update I have so much to catch up on. Life here really is a busy blur.

Right now....life in general:
We are doing well. Last weekend we celebrated Mother's Day by having a small cookout. We had both sets of parents over for the day. Clay and I ran some errands early in the morn while my folks babysat and then we came home and all had a nice lunch. Nothing beats a grilled hamburger (or even a burnt hotdog) on a nice day. Here are my two wonderful mothers, Kenley, and me.

Please forgive my white legs in the middle. Someone lives in Central IL over the winter and not sunny FL ;o)  During the week we have been enjoying time outside with after dinner trips to the park or just a walk around the block with the wagon. Kenley sure does love to be outside!!!

It's also had us laughing lately with the crazy bedhead she manages to have every morning. I tell you the girl's hair is WILD but it doesn't seem to phase her and she's always smiling.

In other Kenley news, her vocab is increasingly growing and it is the cutest thing. New words seem to come out almost daily at times. Some of my new favorites are cookie and cracker and I still get a good laugh at the standby words like kitty and apple (which fills in for almost all fruit except bananas which we now call nennes). It's also nice to switch her to shorts with the warm hot weather but we've run into a small issue. We did 18month pants for the length this winter and didn't have a problem but the poor girl for the life of her can't keep any of her 18month shorts up. She just doesn't have a waist. My little skinny minnie! Guess I'll have to hit a few garage sales and find some 12 month shorts to get us by.

In baby news:
I went to the dr yesterday for my 14 week appt. Everything is looking good. My weight is already at 180lb so I may need to start watching that as we get bigger but the heartbeat was in the 150s and all my early labs came back normal. We talked the dr into another sono so she could confirm the due date. It's always fun to see the little one. I wish they would do a sono with every visit but I know they can't. It's amazing to see how fast babies grow and change in the womb.

Not happy that those pictures rotated (esp since the both did head down) but the top is the baby head and body and the bottom is a profile picture (again both are head down.) Baby measured right at 14w3day which is right what I thought so I'm confirmed with a 11/7 due date and go back in 4 weeks for another appt and 5 weeks for the big sono.

In house news:

 There are days where it feels like a lot gets done and days when I get impatient. This was a good week! We got brick, garage doors, and now they are doing flooring.

(The garage door picture is from my phone and from the car since it was raining that day.) I don't have pics for the flooring yet cause they just started yesterday and when we went to the house there was a tile on the door that said "wet tile, stay out" or something like that, so Clay and I went around back and peeked in the patio door. I must say I think I love it ;o)
Yesterday after the dr we also finally got all the lighting stuff done. It was a long hot afternoon. Who knew a lighting store would be so warm with all those lights on. I think we did a pretty good job and I hope it all looks nice. The pendants for over the island aren't quite what I expected or wanted but they match the light we liked for over the table so I think it will look nice. We also ended up getting our ceiling fans too, so we are set. I want to double check fan blade color today but if it matches we should be a go.

Well there you have it. Another week with the Brockmans. Today we are going to a local campground where the in-laws are camping with their friends. We will hang out and have potluck dinner. If it doesn't rain we should be able to take a walk around the lake and look for baby ducks. Should be a fun day. I hope everyone has (or had if you read this later) a wonderful weekend!
