Another month has gone by.....

Another month come and gone. So I'm not great at keeping up on my postings.... it happens. :)

Let's see what has been going on? Aug 1st we went to our very first outdoor movie(drive-in). Lake Shawnee held the 1st annual movie night. They played Goonies and Ghost Busters. So we stopped and got our picnic dinner from KFC and headed to meet Tasha and fam at the Lake. It was a ton of fun. The kids ran wild of course, but they loved it. So maybe not much of the movie got watched but it was very memorable. It got cold fast that night. Lucky (or not so lucky??) for us Tasha had an extra jacket of Gracie's that Branden could wear. He sure was pretty in pink that night. Running around in a tight pink jacket was too funny, Wayne didn't feel quite the same way of course. :P I can't wait till next year to do it again.

Aug 12th I headed to Lawrence to stay with a Tastefully Simple team member. Cause we were heading out from our leaders house in KC at 3:30 on the dot. We DID make it on time, I know what a surprise(ok, maybe a couple min behind). I can't seem to make it on time to anything. We traveled to Minneapolis MN for four days. It was hard for me to leave my boys. Branden was sad to see me go. I was very emotional and ever chance I got I would call and see how it was going. I slept almost all the drive there and more than half of it back. I love the girls for giving me the whole back bench to lay on. I hate long drives. So we got to MN and checked in the hotel and were on the go from there. It was a non-stop fun/information filled couple of days. The Conference was just what I needed to get me pumped and back into the selling groove and moving up the leader ladder. Came home from conference had 3 taste-testing parties and 1 book party. Aug was a kick butt month is sales. Hopefully I can keep that up. And my growing team of 5 (as of NOW) had an awesome month too. I love the leadership checks I get from their hard work too.

We made a trip to Wichita to meet baby Isaac. The new Stout baby. It was a great visit. The kids(not the new baby) played in the sprinkler outside and had a blast. No pictures to post yet. Teresa has to get them to me. He is adorable and I was sad it took a couple weeks to make it to meet him. But I am glad we made it.

JA bowl-a-thon is here again. I am the coordinator here at work. We got 3 teams together for a fun and very beneficial cause. I have been to 2 meeting for it lately. The coordinator one and the team captain one. Just a little over a month till the bowling day itself, so I hope to raise lots of money to help out. I know money is tight for everyone but it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm sure I will look great bowling with my "over-sized" belly. We got all the teams to bowl at the same time so it should be even more fun.

Then our Anniversary!!! 4 YEARS!!!! WOW!!!! Who thought we would make it that long? I know we are all surprised. :P Branden had a slumber party with one of his many girlfriends (SHELBY) and we went to Kikus and to see G I Joe. It was a good movie. Then we drove around, ran some errands, went to walmart and headed home. A nice peaceful night of sleep. Wayne was asleep in his chair super early that night. Good Thing. He needed all the rest he could get for his next night of fun.

The bachelor party for Jared in our parts dept. Branden and I hung out and he left with all the young folk to go party. And that story is too long to tell, but I'm sure you've all heard it by now. All I gotta say is that is why grown men need supervision.

I know you've all been waiting to hear how the pregnancy is going, right? Well if not, here you go anyways. I am 27 weeks and 2 days. Boy this time is flying. I had an appt yesterday. Measured 29 weeks. My sugar test came back normal. My appt are now every 2 weeks. That makes it seem soooo close. VERY SCARY!!!! I started going thru clothes from Branden. I think I won't need much at all just need to organize. That part isn't too much fun. Oh and the name IS PICKED!!!! For now!?!?!? Weston William Partridge.

Wayne and his dad work in the basement this weekend. Men and their projects. YES this needed done, but I am even more SCARED to go look now they are done. Cement dust filled the whole house all night and I'm sure is caked on everything in the basement including my scrapbook stuff and new toy room. I may go look in the next couple days. So anyone who wants to brave it with me and help me clean it up is more than welcome.

AND that starts our CRAZY schedule. We are booking up like crazy, Kendra's wedding stuff, baby showers ( not for me, for friends), Tastefully Simple parties, bowl-a-thon, prepping for baby and Halloween (grandma Anita is going to make Branden a dr. costume).

That is our crazy lives for now. Hope I didn't forget anything important.
