Cooper helping me feed Rory!

She can now fit into her first Nebraska Tee!

As we all know Greg has lived his dream this week and has been working in Cali at the US OPEN. We are so proud of him....but missed him terribly and can't wait till he returns tommorrow. My mom came to help this week and stayed Tuesday-Saturday. She kept Rory home from school on Wednesday,Thursday, and Friday. Rory got lost of Mimi bonding time! Coop and Mere also came down for a couple days! Rory loves her Cousin Coop and is so entertained by him....he loved to help. And his new nickname is "diaper boy" because he would take the diaper from the changing table and put it in the diaper genie. He loved when she had a "poopie" diaper and would laugh and say "Yuck Rory...." Too cute!

THANK YOU SO MUCH MIMI FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!!! I WILL MISS OUR EVENING GLASS OF RED WINE!!

My mom left Saturday around noon....well about two the AC decided to go out. It was running but cool air was not coming out. The house temp got up to 90 and Rory and I were not happy! Needless to say I was hysterical....trying to call greg...and then my mom called Nana V. She came to the rescue and called their AC guy who came out.....and "fixed" the AC...it was just the breaker and I feel like a complete idiot. You live you learn....Thank you Nana V and Papa J!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE!!!!

RORY IS THE LUCKIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD TO HAVE GREG FOR HER DADDY!!

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO MY DAD AND PAPA J! I Love you...thank you for everything you do for us!!

Who knew Rice Cereal could be so much fun?

We started Rory on rice cereal a couple of weeks ago and it has been so much fun! We were just holding her and feeding her but Thanks to Amanda for loaning us Maddies Bumbo feeding time is so much fun and Rory loves it. She slurps it up of the spoon and giggles and laughs....however we have a routine now...to feed her naked and then give her a good bath. Somehow that cereal ends up in her hair, all over her tummy, on her hands and somehow we found some stuck to her booty. (she had a diaper on so we arent exactly sure how it made its way down the back.) Anywho she always needs a good scrubbing after her cereal dinner!

The last few weeks Rory's personality has really started coming through....she giggles and laughs all the time. At first we thought she was going to be a baby where we would have to work for a smile...boy were we wrong. She loves to talk and smile at anyone who smiles or will talk with her. We are having so much fun! :)

Stop taking my picture and feed me.....
white bearded lady....:)

the bumbo....we love it!

Last Sunday, Papa J, Nana V, and Linds came over to visit. We ordered Macaroni Grill, drank wine, and enjoyed oohhing and ahhhing over Rory. I love doing this...I have always been a home body and would rather order in then go out. Papa J and Nana V have been so nice to do this a few times since Rory has been born. We always have a great time!

As soon as Vanna got in my car she put this post it on the dashboard....she said, "what?? I forget things now." I was laughing all day about his! We finally got the Sangria and of course she says..."they only had the big bottle." Sure they did. :)

Aunt Vanna and Rory

This weekend was super busy!!! I took Friday off because my Mom and Aunt Vanna came for a visit. Aunt Vanna is from Alabama and comes to visit for a week during the summer...of course she had to make a trip to Fort Worth to see her Great Niece. :) We had a great time we went for lunch at BJ's Brewhouse and then did some shopping at Northeast Mall...we had to go to Rory's favorite store Nordstrom's of course. Rory did so good....she loves to shop! Greg played golf that day with Papa J but took care of Rory Friday night so us girls could go to On the Border for margartitas. :) We ended the night by watching It's Complicated! I love this movie! On Saturday we all went to lunch at Jason's Deli and then Greg, Rory, and I went to Madison's 1st Birthday Pool party! Rory is too young to get in the pool so we enjoyed visiting with all the other guests who opted to stay in the air conditioned house. It was a great party and we had so much fun. Mom and Vanna decided to stay another night so we ordered pizza and watched TV. :) We had so much fun and I always laugh so hard when I am around Aunt Vanna and Mom together! We had a great time!

Rory went to her first church service this morning....it was great! We sat in the cry room...they have lots of rockers and a big tv so we could watch the sermon. They also have a diaper changing table and a nursing station...Everything you could need. Rory really enjoyed the singing. Everytime I go to church I always tear up.....we are just so blessed and God has given me a wonderful husband and a healthy baby girl. I am forever thankful to him. :)

After church we went out to see Great Grandpa Dick and Great Grandma Connie for lunch. It was delicous as always! However, Rory was not in her best mood. She really can tell who Greg and I are and is a little apprehensive if someone is holding her and she can't see us. We also noticed at Madison's party that if someone is holding her....she will be really good for a few minutes and then start looking around for us and then begin crying until she is in her mommy or daddy's arms again.

She loves to be talked to and gives the biggest grin....but as my dad says she goes from 0 to mad in 15 seconds. So true...she will be the happiest baby and giving the biggest smiles and then screaming her head off. Moody like her mama!

Need of Prayers.....

My sister's sister- in- law Cindi Fuller Kruger is in need of lots of Prayers for her and her Baby Boy Brody. She is 7 months pregnant and poor Brody's Kidney's are failing and there are low amounts of amniotic fluid. This is heartbreaking and all the prayers would be great.....
