11 Weeks Old

It's hard to believe that Rachel is already 11 weeks old (almost 12 weeks old since it's taken me so long to update the blog this week)! Needless to say, we've had a fun, but busy time the last week and a half since I've posted an update.

Here's Rachel just hanging out with Adam (and Nimbus) some this week.



Christy, Cade, & Laura came to visit us this past Tuesday. We met at Providence and went to JCPenney (since we both had $10 off coupons), HomeGoods, & Target (of course). We also ate at Chick-Fil-A...yummy! Here are some pics of the kids and Rachel in one of her new outfits. I found two cute skirts and two cute matching onesies to go with them. Each piece was only $3.19...and with my $10 off coupon, I paid a whoppin' $3.02 for 2 really cute new outfits! That's my kind of shopping!

Cade really can't wait until Rachel is big enough to play with his cows with him...that boy loves cows!!! He brought them over to her one at a time:o)

It's not fair for only Rachel to get to play on her playmat...Cade wanted to lay on it too (even though he's bigger than the whole mat!)...and we couldn't leave Laura out...so here you have it...then there were three little munchkins playing on the playmat!

Here's Rachel in one of her new outfits enjoying a little kitty lickin' from Nimbus. I think they're starting to become better friends now that she's noticing him more:o)

The other new outfit...

We also had a surprise visit from Dana and Ashley on Saturday! Pa also came to visit on Saturday, but apparently we didn't even get a pic of him with Rachel. We'll have to get one next time.

We went to hear our friend Justin's band on Friday night at the Cafe Coco. Nana came down to watch Rachel. We had never been to the Cafe Coco before, but it was alot of fun! The band is Feedback Revival and they rocked the house! Go to http://www.feedbackrevival.com/ if you want to listen to some of their stuff. Here's a pic of Justin on the far right jamming down on the bass guitar as no one else can!

We also went to the CMA Music Festival on Thursday night this past week with Nate and Lauren. We ate at Rippy's before the show and had some awesome onion rings and BBQ. It was fun, but it kind of got "stormed" out. We only got to hear Brooks & Dunn and a couple of songs from Reba before they cleared the stadium due to some bad storms that were heading that way. Needless to say, we were very glad we had gotten on the club level because our "wait" was at least in the air conditioning. We waited for over an hour until about 10:45PM, then decided to head on home after seeing a weather radar showing the storm was still a ways away. The show did actually continue around midnight and lasted until 2:30AM, but we didn't want to leave Rachel that long. Her Mimi was watching her back at home. We figured she might not be too happy with that 2AM feeding:o)

Here's us and Nate & Lauren waiting on the the big show to begin...

Here's some pics of Brooks & Dunn & Reba...you have to look at the TV screen to actually see them:o)

Here's Nate, Lauren, & Adam waiting for the CMA Fest to start back up again...they look pretty happy considering we had been waiting for almost an hour at this point and it hadn't even started raining outside yet!

Adam had taken off work on Friday since we figured we'd be getting in late from the CMA Fest. Turns out he could have worked probably, but instead we had a fun day going out to Longhunter State Park and strolling around Couchville Lake. Here's some pics we took along the way...there were lots of the tiny frogs everywhere!

Here's Rachel just hangin' out one morning this week playing.
