Pumpkin Patch
Coleman's nursery class took a walk to the church next door for the annual Pumpkin Patch Visit and Hayride. He loved it! He is going to be a hunter for Halloween.

this is our little girl...
Well, it is official! Colton was correct. He will be the Daddy to a little Girl. Just that thought alone makes me thrilled! He will be a FABULOUS Daddy to a Girl!
She is healthy. 10 fingers. 10 toes. All 4 chambers of the heart etc, etc...
I won't lie...I have been extremely timid about having a Girl. Will she hate my guts? She will sure love her Daddy! But, God in his goodness and mercy, has made me SO excited. We pray that there will never be a day that she does not know Jesus as her Savior.
She looks just like Coleman in his Ultrasound Picture
Colton and I disagree on the view of this picture. He thinks it is a "looking from the bottom view" and I think we are looking down on her legs. Either way, she is definitely a Girl. No boy parts to be found!
Her name will be kept a secret until she arrives...the only HINT: It starts with a "C" :)
Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow...

God Bless America and Chubby Babies in Diapers
Coleman is most content and happy when he is outside!
His new favorite words are: Please, Ice, All Gone, All Done and Money (Colton taught him that) :)
He will be 18 months old on the 15th of August.
We are doing well around here...I still battle "all-day pregnancy sickness" every few days. Colton is convinced this baby is a girl. I go back-and-forth.
We should know around September 13th.
We are definitely staying busy...Colton is in full-swing of research and writing on his dissertation and I could not be more proud of him. Colton will continue to play softball on Tuesday nights and also play pick-up basketball on Wednesday nights with some guys from our church. He is the best Husband and Daddy anyone could ever ask for...I married way out of my league!!!!
I am helping to start a 20-something's (post college thru late 20's) Bible Study on Tuesday nights. I am very excited to see how the Lord might use this to further His Kingdom in our city and also reach those already connected to the church.
Without further ado...pictures of our growing 31 pound boy!
Check out his Blue Jean Diaper (a special edition Huggies). It looks more like a
Speedo on him :)
Waving the American flag very proudly!

Summer Plans: traveling and announcing a new baby :)
The following are pictures from our trip to see my folks in Meridian, MS. for Memorial Day Weekend.
Coleman got his first big boy haircut, ate his first popsicle, played with Nana and G-Daddy and threw tennis balls to Anna (my parents black lab). My daddy cooked some incredible ribs and my Granddaddy Stafford came for a visit. It was a GREAT trip!
It was also on this trip that we found out we are expecting a baby! (due feb 5th).
These are from Marval in Gore, Oklahoma. The Cockrums, Buffingtons, Evans, Stewarts, Coxs and Pilgrims get together every year for some fishing and relaxing.
It is such a fun trip. Coleman played with all of his cousins and especially loved being with his Auntie Dawn, Grammoo and Papa Rocky.
Each Year our neighborhood has a 4th of July Parade...complete with playing in the Fire Truck Water at the end.
STATS ON OUR GROWING BIG BOY at 16 months:
30.9 lbs--94th percentile
33 inches long--83rd percentile
HE IS A BIG BOY!!

it is hot outside...
Sorry I have been blogging so little. Honestly, I forget until I read some of my friends' blogs. But, here is an update of the last 10 or so days...
Coleman and I went to the Zoo a couple of weeks ago. It was super hot outside,
so I "bee-lined it" to the Polar Bears (in the AC) and to the Elk, Bear and Wolves (which require going through the AC). The way I look at it, Coleman does not realize he is missing out on the tigers, lions and snakes. We did pass some Elephants and monkeys. He got a little stir-crazy sitting in the stroller, so we wandered around a bit. His favorite animals...the Elk! This of course made my day! Hoping our little man will appreciate hunting one day :)
This past weekend, Coleman and I went to visit my sister, bro-in-law, niece and nephew. WE HAD A BLAST! My sister is definitely one person I wish I could see everyday. I never thought I would say that. We used to annoy the crud out of each other growing up...and I was the one who ALWAYS got in trouble for our "tifs". Even Leigh will admit that she would push my buttons and my temper would flare like crazy.
Her Garfield trash can was proof of my temper (I dented it pretty good)!
The beauty of all that we went through growing up: fighting, laughing, nagging, tears, dress-up time, beach trips, listening to 80's music, etc is...she is one of the best friends anyone could ever ask for. A fabulous sister and friend. I am blessed!
Here is a picture of Coleman hanging out at their house...a little Camo Bulldog!
Next week, Colton, Coleman and I head to the Lower Illinois River for the Annual Cockrum Fishing Getaway. It is such a great 6 days of relaxing. I love being with Colton's family and I cannot wait for them to see how Coleman has grown. I will definitely post pics when we get back.
have a great day...
