Tomorrow Brings a Baby Boy!

Its a little sad thinking that she wont be our little baby anymore....

But we have been trying to enjoy every single minute we have with her.
As you can see, her favorite moments are when she is in

THE NUDE!

Thank you so much everyone for all of our shower gifts and
AWESOME hand-me-downs.
Between all of boys that were just born last year,
and the beautiful Dorminy girls,
We have been SPOILED with wonderful clothes.

Just to put every one's mind at ease,

I'm pretty sure that we have a name picked out.

We have decided to keep it to ourselves so that we can set it in concrete.

Something about telling people our ideas and hearing everyone elses

tends to make us change our mind too much.

So KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!

ha ha- Just kidding.

Thanks for all of the great ideas-

Josie is just seconds away from walking. She has taken up to 5 steps by herself,

so I figure that its right around the corner.

She was supposed to be walking, talking, and doing chores around the house by this time,

But I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.

We have been working very hard on our new house lately.

Just trying to get the big bulk of it taken care of before the new baby gets here.

But we have found that home owning is CONSTANT work.

But we like it!

This is Kent's latest project.

Our beautiful new path to our front door.

I love it love it!
And this is how Ive nested this time-

Working on this silly garden.

I know it doesn't look like much,

But you should of seen it a couple of months ago.

I'm not my brother- but I'm proud!

So Anyway-

Tomorrow is the big day for baby boy.

I have been more than ready!

Ive been in pain just for the past 2 days.

I just feel like he is too big for my little body.

BUT- besides that- all has been great.

Thank you EVERYONE for all that you have done,

And we will talk to you soon.

Love- The Summers

My family has to take care of me this summer...

My mom and dad have been

too busy.

I hear its only going to get worse....

Just letting you know that we're still here

Sorry that I have not been

good about Josies updates-

We have been SO SO SO busy!

I promise I will be better soon.

More thoughts from Josie Mae~~

HELP!!!

Someone Take Me to The COUNTRY! As everyone can see, I am only a minute a way from walking and my parents have

got me trapped in this dark house while the sun is so bright outside.

Why you ask?? Because we live on Van Buren.

If you don't know what that is;

ITS THE BUSIEST STREET IN HILLCREST!!

But I have great news...

They just bought me a house, in north Mamelle ,on almost 2 acres, on top of Panther Mountain,

in a cul-De-sac!!!!!

That's right~

Here is my new home!!

This is my dog Cash.

He and my other dog Roxanne are already planning out our

awesome play area in the backyard.

Me? Personally?

I just like laying under a nice shade tree,

balancing my food on my belly,

and feeling the cool breeze blow through my straw hat.

Or, Of course,

Jumping up and down- screaming to the top of my lungs!

That too, is also very enjoyable to me.

Now what is NOT FUN! is sitting in a hospital bed,

getting stuck with IV's,

screaming to the top of your lungs, (and no one cares)

and not getting to have any real food!
This is what I had to deal with this past month.

I had some virus that we couldn't get rid of. Throwing up for DAYS!

I think my mom threatened all nurses and Doctors of their lives, but I'm better now.

Still don't know what it was that I had.

I still have no teeth, not much hair, and can only crawl backwards.

But i will be walking soon.

I pull up on my crib when i want out, and say momma when I'm really MAD!

So I'm just a growing girl.
Waiting on this silly brother of mine that I get to beat up on.
Until then, Ill be seeing you. Take care! Talk to you soon.

Sorry it has been SO long!!

The wedding was so perfect. Josie did so well and was so pretty!

She got a little cranky at the end, but thanks to her Susu and her Ganny-

she was well taken care of.

She is sitting up very well now!

Next, mastering walking-

work on those legs of hers!

Josie loves her jumper!

The baby in the oven is a BOY!!
He is 22 weeks along, so over half way.
This pregnancy has been TOTALLY different than the last.
Sometimes I even forget that I am.
I think that he is really going to sneak up on me.
We don't have any names picked out yet.
But were sure excited to meet him!

And- please go and vote for Josie as the cutest baby-

Well.. the weather outside is....WONDERFUL~

How pretty March has been so far!

These are Josie's shades that she feels SO COOL in.

She refuses to smile in them, I guess it ruins her cool-chick image.

"Oh my God Becky, look at her butt."

Josie in her little dress looking oh so pretty!

We have been a big fan of headbands lately.

Lack of hair makes people think your a boy-

even if your wearing bright pink

This is Josie's first ride in a shopping cart. Buying hair products with mom.

Im not sure if she feels to supported,

do you?

In case no one has noticed, we spend the majority of our free time at the skate park.

This is Josie's favorite little guy to see at the park.

Talon is SO SO cute and very good with Josie,

who he calls his "little sister".

Family pic at the park!

It was a pretty day here in Little Rock

It was so pretty outside today that we decided to have a little photo shoot!!

Josie Mae is now 5 months old. She has started to roll all around, sit up (kind of) by herself, and
scoot around on her belly.

She is now sleeping through the night!! YAY!

She sleeps from 9-4:30 or 5 here at home,

and from 9- 7am at her Nonna's house....

Maybe because Nonna is a heavy sleeper, or maybe not.

ha ha

She is starting to giggle now, but not BELT OUT Laughing yet.
I'm so excited to hear her laugh really hard,
its coming soon.

Oh- and she LOVES the TV show Blues Clues.
When the theme song from the show plays,
Shes screams!

All around shes pretty sweet.

ORNERY as she can be,
BUT SWEET!

Here is a flower for you-
she didn't like the way it tasted.

I know I get carried away on the photo shoot.

I think this is one of my favorite pics-

Daydreamer.


...................................................................................................

Kent and I are doing well preparing our minds for a baby #2.

I have gone to the doctor and seen an incredibly

active and healthy baby on ultrasound.
Due date is August 25Th.

One month before Josie's first birthday.

:)

Crazy huh?
All is good; Ill keep you updated.

Some cute pics from the skatepark outting

We are about to go where?? I thought it was cold outside........

YAY!! Your going to let me wear Dad's warm hat?? Im in!! Off to the skatepark we go!!!

Please stop making me laugh that hard, it makes my belly hurt!!

Sometimes it scares me when Dad skateboards.

OH!! I THOUGHT YOU HAD IT THAT TIME!!!!

Good Job Dad!! Its time to go now, my cheeks are cold. Thanks for bringing me to the park!!

Time for some serious updates!

-The inner feelings of Josie Mae- Written by: Josie Mae

"I had so much fun this past Holiday season! I'm starting a schedule of having my cereal for lunch and dinner! I love fruit cereal. The spoon makes me crack up. If only my my mom would pour the bowl into my mouth, it would make it all get in my mouth as quick as I need it to.

Thanks Gerber. For another great meal!

My Dads cousin Jacob had another little boy! I'm excited because I'm bigger than him and thought about punching him in this picture. But I want him to be my friend, so I refrained. My parents say I'm kind of a bully. They think that they will get this problem under control. HAHAHA.....

This is me and all of my WONDERFUL new toys that Santa brought for me! I like that Santa guy I think. Ive been told Ill learn more about him next year. Cool! Its not just a one time thing.


I also got this big box that makes my baby Einstein movies look HUGE to me. I think that I used to see this box at my Nonna's house, but its at my house now, and I love it!

Mom made me help her wrap gifts. I thought that the paper was so pretty!! My favorite part is that loud tube that you can scream into and it makes me sound really loud. That was so funny. As far as the bow on my head- Will someone tell my mom that I don't like that. I'm not a baby doll. Thank you/

Oh- and something else-

Can someone also tell my mom that I need a little bit more attention in the morning time. Lately she has been really slacking in her morning motherly duties. I don't know what the word sister or brother is, but apparently I'm going to have one, and this makes mommy feel sick. What does that mean?
"spee spee spee spee" says my mom-

ANOTHER WHAT?? But I'm the baby!!! HOW COULD YOU? That's why you have been so crazy!! I'm going to teach this Kid who the boss is. I'm going to let you talk to my mom now- I'm going to go throw a fit!"

Yup- Kent and I found out at the first of the year that we are going to be having another baby. This was totally unplanned and we are handling it the best that we can. WE are actually very excited, its the reaction from others that brings us (actually just me) down. I hope that if you have negative to say, to keep it to yourself. We are excited and laughing about it. They will be less than a year apart, so we just got a jump start on our first twin that was born 11 months before the other one. HA HA- We will keep you updated of course. Until then, have fun laughing at double strollers, kids on leashes, and XL SUVs/ We love to laugh about it, and need all the support that we can get. Love- Alli and Kent
