Some of the guys from work and I went to play paint ball today at white river paintball . I had never played before. Scott had a membership which helped with out paint cost. I upgraded to the warrior package which gave me a gun that looked like an AR15, and never jams. That is a good thing because a few of the guys where having gun issues.
Gina, Makenna, Heather and I went down to mom’s for Mother’s Day.
Dick made some really good baby back ribs on his smoker charcoal grill.
He made half of them with Pa and Ma BBQ sauce, and the other half were a sweet tangy sauce.
Took a walk at mom’s this weekend to try out the new camera.
Here are some shots that I came across.
Dear Tyler,
On May 3rd, we found out we were expecting you. I had been feeling a little weird for a couple of days, so I was a little suspicious, but didn’t want to take a pregnancy test too soon. That day, I bought a pregnancy test on my way to work and was so anxious to know the results, that I took the test at work. Almost immediately, the results came back positive!!! I remember feeling so overwhelmed, but in a good way. We wanted you and had planned for you, but it was still so shocking that it had all happened so quickly.
I went through my work day in a daze. I didn’t want to tell your daddy I was pregnant over the phone or by email or text message, so I knew I would have to keep my secret until that evening. After work, I stopped by the store and bought a cute little baby outfit that said “Daddy Loves Me” and wrapped it up. When your daddy got home from work, I handed him the package. His birthday had just been 5 days earlier, so he thought I was giving him another birthday gift. When he opened it and saw the baby outfit, he looked confused at first and then once it all hit him, he must have said “wow” about 100 times. He was so happy and overwhelmed. It was a very special moment for us. Your daddy and I love each other very much, so we were more than excited to add you to our family. You would be joining big sister Bailey who was 18, but who would turn 19 by the time you were born, big sister Makenna who was 14 and big sister Heather who was 12.
Your due date was January 11, 2012 which seemed forever away.
We told your sisters that we were going to have a baby over dinner a couple of days after we found out. They were all SO excited and were hoping desperately that you would be a boy. Next we told both sets of grandparents and then slowly started telling the rest of our friends and family. Everyone was so excited for us and couldn’t wait for you to get here.
Love, Mommy
