Memorial Day

I know Memorial Day was this past Monday and its now Friday... a little late to write but it's been a busy week. Kimi's come down with a good size cough and hasn't been sleeping much this week. She's pretty tired because of it, which in turn makes me tired! Haha I can't wait to get home tonight so I can catch up on some sleep! We think she caught it from the kids at the daycare b/c they have all been hacking and having runny noses. Yuck. Oh the joys of kids... just kidding. Anyway, here's how the week went.

On Monday, Kimi and I went to visit my Grandpa Fox's grave at Arlington Cemetery in MWC. I haven't been back there since I was a pallbearer at his funeral in 2002. From what I remember and saw, my grandpa was a very good man who loved his family and prayed for us constantly. Unfortunately I only saw him on special occassions like the holidays because of how far away they lived. But it was one of the highlights of my year getting to see him and grandma open their house to the family each thanksgiving/christmas. Kimi and I were just starting to date that year and she couldn't make it to that christmas party to meet him. Sadly, he passed away 2 weeks later. It's a sad thing because she would have loved him as much as the rest of us did, and still do. I'm not going to give another eulogy but it was good to see my grandpa's resting place again. I still think about him all the time and I can't help but wish he could have been here to see Makenna being born... his first Great Grandchild. Man, that's an emotional thought... BUT my Grandma Fox is still here and she can't wait for Makenna to come along either. ;)

And speaking of my Grandma Fox's house, I just wanted to share with you guys this picture from a couple of years ago. My Dad's wife, Brenda, is a HUGE Texas Longhorns fan. I'm sure you can imagine her utter crazy joy when the 'Horns won the national championship game this past year. (I'm just glad they beat USC and shut em up!) Anyway, she has this Longhorns tag on her suv which she is so proud of. Well, my cousins and I (whom are all major OU fans) decided to have a little fun with her by turning the tag upside down and doing the famous "down with the Longhorns" pose. Click on the picture to enjoy a larger version! :) We love ya Brenda!

Okay, while I'm at it, I might as well show you guys a little piece of my past. I ran across this picture and just had to show it off! As many of you know, Kimi and I have known each other for a very long time. I was her first boyfriend back in 8th grade (awww), grew up in youth group together, helped each other out with our "boyfriend and girlfriend" issues when we had them, and basically have been very close for as long as I can remember. This picture is from one of the many summers we spent at Falls Creek and is one of our favorites from those days. We sure thought we were cool, huh? Man was I skinny... Haha! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Back to this week. On Wednesday this past week, Kimi and I went to the baby doc again. The baby's heartbeat is at 148bpm which is great and right where it should be at. However, I had a chance to snap a picture while we were there. Tell me if you can see what we saw?

Okay, okay, so this picture isn't really of Kimi. BUT, ACCORDING TO KIMI, THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE!!! Alright, enough with the goofy pictures. I think you guys have had enough.

There is a small update about the baby shower though. If you bring a package of diapers to the shower, we will put your name into a hat for a drawing for a prize. I'm not sure what the prize is going to be but I hear it's good and would be worth your time! :) If you know anyone who is coming to the shower, spread the word to them for us, will ya? Thanks guys!

Alright, I hope you enjoyed todays post. We'll keep you guys updated on what's going on as it happens! Love you all!
