Baby Wilson AKA:

HEY, What is my little Brother's name???

Well at first we were going to keep this a secret, I thought it would be fun to revel after the birth, and I didn't really want any opinions. But if you know anything about me you know secrets are hard for me to keep... just about as hard as it is to keep ice cream in our house these days.

Drum roll please DUMMMMMMMMMMMM...

William Lucas Wilson

William is after my grandpa and dad (and apparently an uncle and some other relatives) and we just found our that Luke's grandpa's dad (great grandpa) was William as well. And Lucas after... Luke! He will be called William or Will, no Billy or Bill. (this is the next question people ask)

For fathers day for my dad I gave him a card and inside I wrote all the qualities I wanted William to have, strong, loyal, hard working, loving etc... and went on to say that is why I chose the name that gave him all of these great qualities. I think my dad felt very honored, and there were definitely some tears shed at the dinner table that night.

So, What do you think?

"Babymoon" and Fathers Day

"BabyMoon:" A babymoon is a vacation taken by a couple that is expecting a baby in order to allow the couple to enjoy a final trip together before the many sleepless nights that usually accompany a newborn baby. -Wikapedia

Luke and I took our trip to Mexico in November, we didn't make this public but it kinda kicked off baby making time for us; though it didn't happen right away. However, now with Baby on the way and a busy summer we decided to use the one free weekend we had and take our last trip... just the two of us.

Our friends dog, she LOVES to swim!

Trips alone are great, they make you realize why you are with someone, they make you laugh at things you sometimes don't at home, and they give you a chance to talk and catch up! We just went to the lake of the Ozark's (about 2 1/2 hours from our house) and stayed at a resort called Tantara. We ate at some great places, got ice cream every night, got too much sun, and even caught up with some friends!

Joey and Lindsey got married about 4 years ago and they live down at the lake. They are also expecting their first, she is about 5 weeks ahead of me...yes we are about the same size: UGH!

Joey and Luke had so much fun catching up!

It was a HOT one! Ahhh!

Morning no makeup view from our room.

Ducks we watched swim in the mornings from our balcony. Made me remember one of the things Luke and I have most in common is our love for animals, any kind!

Lake view from our room.

Out to dinner and listening to a band.

One HOT MAMA... literally!

My view for all of Thursday, feet and a fuzzy belly. I thought it was so funny that I looked naked to myself, I wasn't I promise, just hiding the bottoms in there somewhere.

It was a super HOT (and humid) weekend but we had a good time and it was nice to get away, we liked the resort and had a great room with a kitchen and family room. We talked about how it might be a good vacation to take next year with baby wilson!

Sunday was Fathers day, since we had been out of town we decided to stay close to home. My dad was out at the ranch and we had just saw him to tell him some big news (different post) And we had just seen Luke's dad last weekend. We had some friends over and bbq'd and then some of Luke's family came over to visit. Baby Wilson and Boomer got Daddy a nice card and a new book to read "My daddy and me" But I think he got the best gift of all last night, A kick in the head! The books say now, if you are really quiet daddy can hear baby's heartbeat so we decided to try it out, Luke didn't hear anything but kept asking me if I was moving... with his head on my belly Baby Wilson gave daddy some really strong kicks right in the head, he is not even here yet and just wanted to say happy fathers day!

A full fun weekend

Well with keeping up with the theme of the summer this weekend was no different, I don't know how we fit it all in but we did, and we had fun doing it! Friday night we went to dinner with Luke's dad, step mom, and grandparents, they are going to be married for 60 years this winter and they live in Hutchitson KS where Luke was born (about 8 hours away) so it is always good to see them and catch up. Then we met up with a college buddy, he just found out his wife is expecting so or kids will be 4 months apart! :)

Luke and I decided to skip the race for the cure, it was hot humid, and we had a busy day ahead of us, so we took Boomer for a long walk to make up for skipping it, and we donated our money so at least that is good. Here is me and one of my best friends Jessie, her wedding is this August so the next stop was her couples shower, it was bbq themed so the rain was a bit annoying since it was on and off...on and off... but I am so happy for her, and she is going to make a beautiful bride!

Jenn was one of my sisters best friends in high school and was always at our house hanging out, her wedding was a blast as you can see from the pictures, it was a great night!

Crystal mom and I

Mommy love.

They had a cool ice scuplture that distributed pink cosmopolitans the glasses were also our favor, so cute!

Saturday we spent the night at my moms so that we could run some errands Sunday morning and go to the next couples shower for my friend Jenny, we have been great friends since the fourth grade and she is getting married this July! I have'nt seen her parents and family in a long time so it was great to get to see them. Then we headed to Luke's dad for the end of a fish fry they were having, we got some good food and played Farkle with the family, we can always count on them for a good game!

This week Luke and I both took off work on Thursday and Friday and we are headed to the Lake of the Ozarks it will be our last little trip just the two of us and we are looking forward to a relaxing long weekend!
