Oh Baby

I have been terrible about posting on our blog. Anyways, I vow to be better because we have a baby on the way and I want to document our journey through the pregnancy! Here is the email we sent to friends explaining that we are pregnant!

We have some good news to share with you
Bob and I won't be just a family of 2!

We are expecting a baby in early June
Needless to say we are over the moon!

Triathlon

Bob and mom participated in the Jackson County Triathlon!! Bob finished in 1 hour and 30 min. and my mom finished only 9 min. after he did (she is almost 60)! By the way, I am a terrible spectator because I want to participate, so next year I am doing it too!

Sun rising over Longview Lake the morning of the Triathlon-pretty spectacular!


The three of us before the start. In the background you can see how foggy it was, however the fog burned off before they began their swim.


Mom before the swim.


Bob is somewhere in the heat getting ready to swim! Ready...



Set!




Go!

Summer 2010

A few memories from Summer 2010

Stuey McBrews is our new favorite bar/restaurant in downtown Lee's Summit! We celebrated the Welch/Bixler Extravaganza there:).






Madilyn's first birthday!


Boating days! Gilder caught not one, but two ducks with his bare hands(the ducks weren't harmed)!



Brian fished all day and caught a tiny blue gill :).

Madilyn Day

Now that summer school is over I am going to take Madilyn one day a week as a special day for her! On our first "Madilyn Day" we went to the open gym at GAGE and swinging at the park. She is so much fun!


Florida Wedding

Bob and I flew to Orlando Florida this past weekend for Shawn (stepsister) and John's destination wedding.

They were married on the shore of a lake..

We drove to Cocoa beach and played in the ocean and had a great lunch at restaurant on the beach.

6 year Anniversary

Bob and I celebrated our 6th anniversary today and I wanted to blog about our anniversary because we couldn't remember exactly how we spent our first 5 anniversaries and I knew if I blogged about it, we could look back at the previous anniversary posts.

Bob was sweet enough to take Friday AND Sunday as vacations days so that we would have the entire weekend together. We planned to scrape the popcorn off our ceilings so that we could have a knock down ceiling. We also planned to head up north and ride a new bike trail, however we didn't do either of those things due to lots of rain and laziness:). Instead we spent the morning at the City Market, then to see Ashley and Nathan's new house, a lazy afternoon and dinner at Brio (after deciding not to go to the Record Bar because the cover charge was $7.00-we are so cheap).

Bob and I talked a lot today about how we can't believe that the longer we are married the better our life together has become. I never imagined that a marriage got better over time, mostly because both of our parents are divorced and their marriages obviously didn't get better over time. We are fortunate to have found one another.
