A New Look...Again

So, I just couldn't get into the dark color of my last blog change so I decided to "go green". Green is my favorite color so I am hoping it will bring us good luck! I am having a little bit of a downer day. I am just so anxious to meet my baby!! It seems like things have slowed down for us quite a bit, but I am still hopeful that we will get "the call" sometime in the next month or two. We are no where near being ready as far as having Cole moved into his big boy room or having all of the stuff we need for two children, but we cannot wait to be looking at the face of our sweet child. I have been reading up on South Korea a bit and Dusty and I are really looking forward to traveling and seeing the country.

This past weekend we went to the lake with Dusty's family and had a great time (even though the boat broke as Dusty and I were driving it from the boat ramp to the dock). No boat = a lot of fun floating in the tube, jumping off the dock, canoing, water gun wars with the nephews, and of course eating. I am now trying to work off the 5 lbs I gained thanks to fried potatoes for breakfast, frito chili pies, brownies, etc....!! Ha ha!

Overcast morning = Pipe cleaner fun!

Cole wanted to be one of the guys and help daddy and uncle Phil work on the boat

We have had a fun and busy summer so far! Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to the past few weeks...

Cole and his buddy Joel eating dinner pool side

I think floaties make ice cream taste even better!

Zak came over to play one evening.

They put on a rock concert for us.

Fun with dad in the sprinklers

Dusty and I went to Las Vegas to celebrate our birthdays with friends. It was so much fun!

No News

I just thought I would share that we have no news on our second adoption. I guess you could say no news is good news because this means the process is going very smoothly and there have been no big delays/changes, but we are starting to get really anxious!! I can't wait to be a "momma" again and have two kiddos in the house.

We are starting to work on Cole's big boy room and I bought his bedding yesterday. Today I am going to see if I can get Dusty and Cole will run up to OKC to look at dressers/twin beds. I might be voted down though - Dusty quickly figured out that I am now outnumbered in the guy to girl ratio and taught Cole to raise his hand anytime he says something like "who wants to stay home and watch football?" or "who wants to not go to look at furniture?" etc. Then they both stand there with their hands in the air looking at me like "sorry you got vetoed" it is really pretty cute.

Well, we have had an incredibly busy summer. Cole has learned SO MUCH! He is now a pretty darn good swimmer and played golf with me a couple times (well, he liked riding in the cart) and he even rode a horse in a rodeo!! When Cole was at his Aunt and Uncle Middleton's staying with his cousins while we were on vacation Cole got to ride a horse in a kids rodeo and got a ribbon for 5th place! ha ha. I have to post a pic Melissa sent me so you can see him. He had a blast!

I hope to have some great news for you out here in the NEAR future about our second child! Please be saying a prayer for us for patience!!
