It has been a crazy fun last 2 weeks. Lucy and I have made the rounds and Adam got to join us in Tulsa! Lucy and I made our first stop in Kansas City to visit my Gram and many aunts and cousins. It was so much fun. I have pictures but I will save it for another post. My aunt threw Lucy a garden birthday party. It was just for the girls and everyone wore old hats and we had sandwiches, cupcakes and punch. It was so great! Then my cousin Katie and he husband Mitch has a family get together the next night. It was a ton of family fun and a blast seeing all the kids. There were 11 kids ages 1 -10. They all did really well together, we are blessed with amazing family.
Then we headed to Tulsa and got some awesome time with my parents. It doesn't take Lucy long to warm up to my parents or Adam's parents which is so great. She goes right to them all! My mom and dad were so helpful. Having extra hands around allowed me to work on Tippi Toes, plan her party and get to see some old friends. Lucy always loves her time in Tulsa. On Thursday Adam, my sisters and Matt and Gannon arrived! Friday on Lucy's actual birthday we all went to the lake for some fun in the sun. Saturday had the party and Sunday - well we rested! Lucy is still busy catching up on sleep yesterday and today she had a 2 hour nap and a 3 hour nap and was crashed by 7pm each night.
Lucy has been a total joy for Adam and I this past year. God is so amazing to give us her as a gift. I can not get over how much changes in one year, she is smiling, walking, talking and just being her own little cute self. I can't wait to see what her lifetime brings us - I know it will be so much love and happiness.
Now...for baby #2! We are calling the baby Hankaline (Hank or Caroline) are the names we have picked out! This baby is a mover and shaker just like Lucy was. This pregnancy has been really easy and fun. Time is flying so quickly and I feel like Dec 18 will be here before we know it. I am getting lots of kicks, especially when Lucy is in my arms. It is fun to be feeling both babies at the same time. I will go to the doctor this Friday for my 6 month check up. Lucy being so in love with babies could not come at a better time. She will be a great big sister!

Loved the lake - hated the life jacket
My parents got Lucy this baby stroller and a baby for her birthday. This stroller kept Lucy and Gannon entertained the entire weekend. Whichever one was pushing it was on a mission to get there fast. Lucy still was learning about running into things but loved loved loved every second it it.

This picture was too cute not to post. Lucy got new cowgirl boots from my cousin Teri and has loved loved loved them.
My best friend from growing up Caroline in from North Carolina with her son Carter to help us celebrate for Lucy. Here is a pregnant picture of Caroline and I. She is 7 mth and I am 6 mths. We have been so lucky to not only go through our first pregnancy together but now our second.
The finishing touches. My mom is so helpful and creative and helped us throw an awesome party!
We had buckets set out with all the kids names and goodies inside (balls and bubbles) My parents did this for me when I was little and so we thought we would do it for Lucy too!
