House plans

Tonight we met with the builder to review our plans and sign contracts. It was a great experience. We really like the professionalism and courtesy of Equity Home Builders (We aren't even being paid to say this). Lord willing and the creek don't rise, we should start building with a few weeks.


This is the exterior, as evidenced by its exterior-like appearance :)


This is the interior. Feel free to look around. Mi casa es su casa! Take a look at the size of that pantry and the huge walk in closet in the master bedroom. I don't think we have enough clothes to fill that thing!

We're excited. We'll keep you updated with pictures, posts, and the like. We are hoping to snap a few shots of every phase of the building process.

Baby shower


My friends and church family threw me a baby shower this last Thursday night. There was about 30 people there, not including Hannah, me and Wes of course. We had a good time and I got a lot of very cute and very special gifts. Here are a few pictures.


This cake was quite possibly the most delicious cake that I have ever eaten. One of the other pastors' wives made it. It had lemon in the middle. Oh my goodness it was good.

I love this picture! Wes is staring very intently at Tracy. She is our normal baby sitter. The kids love her, apparently Wes included.

Hannah got to come to her brother's "birthday party" as she calls it. She looked like such a big girl and she was very good the entire evening. Thank you sissy for being a good listener.

The chair of Honor. Perfect for a new mom don't you think?

This is a wall hanging that a lady made for Wes. It says, "For God Loved Weston so much that He gave His only Son so that if Weston believes in Him he shall not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16 The Living Bible. It's going up right above his crib.

This is my friend Jennifer. She is a wonderful seamstress. She made this gorgeous quilt for Wes. It has stars quilted into the blanket. It is even more beautiful in person. It was such a special gift and you can tell she spent a lot of time on it. Thank you Jenny.

Wes' shirt says 100% Baby Boy.


It was a great night. I only wish that all of my family and friends from California could have been there to celebrate with us.

Handsome Baby...



I love these little tennis shoes and this sweet little outfit. Weston looks so handsome in them.




Babies are so fun to take pictures of aren't they?

Random pictures of Wes



Weston has recently learned how to grab his binky when it's in his mouth. He kind of just holds it there.

This is Wes' "I'm ready to eat" face, Phase I

This is Phase II of the "I'm ready to eat" face. Translation..."I can't hold out much longer."



Wes is such a good boy. We are blessed to have him. I'm sure there will be more cute pictures to come. In the mean time I'm going to try and get some rest.

Our little Christmas present...

Apparently no one informed Wes that there is no crying on Christmas.

What a perfect little Christmas present!
