Happy Birthday, Happy Father's Day to my Honey Bee

So it has been a while... we have been busy to say the least....but always in a good way. :) We celebrated Nathan's birthday... then Father's day in Austin with our friends... We celebrated little Miss Emmie Lou turning 4 when we returned...but we will save that for next time! I cannot believe we are headed for July in a few days! WOW! It is hot and pregnant mama is feeling the heat! Almost 20 weeks... 1/2 way and hard to believe! We have had two sonograms to confirm she is a GIRL! We all are very excited! The full name will be announced soon... still working on the logistics of the spelling.. :) Hope everyone is doing up the summer nicely! If ya can't take the heat... have a glass of sweet, sweet tea...works for me! :)

Panama City Beach Wrap Up

Well here is my PCB wrap up! First off we had a wonderful time with the Orange Family. The whole family hasn't all been together for almost 2 years! Sooo good to see everyone!

The wedding.... precious! Congrats to Heather and Chip!

We are back and ready for some summer action! But before you get to them pics... read our hilarious and not so hilarious PCB drama! :)

1. Noah huggin the bride so hard when we got there that his tooth fell out.... funny!

2. Keith (brotherinlaw) saving Noah and himself from a shark! Scary!

3. Heather and Chip married up and done beautifully... Special!

4. Noah in a dance off with a dude and a hankerchief...Hilarious!

5. Angie's bad knee that is minus an ACL giving out and falling on her bootie...embarrassing and painful!

6. Blane (cousin) hiding on top bunk to sleep and get away from Emmie... understandable!

7. Kema (sisterinlaw) losing her diamond earring....big bummer!

8. Kellen (cousin) finding it... a miracle!

9. Tai and Joanna (brother and sisterinlaw) getting to come and spend time with us all... so overdue and wonderful!

10. Timmy watching MASH documentaries... a good late night laugh!

11. Emmie falling asleep on the restaurant table... pitiful!

12. Gunner having to be held by everyone...just lovey!

13. Hannah's new fun fact about disliking cinnamon and the smell of it... interesting!

14. Nonna and Papa providing a place for us to all be together... so generous!

15. All of our goodbyes... sad!

16. On the way back to Texas... Nathan thinks we have more gas than we do, pregnant mama has to pee, all kids are whiney and starving, 93 degrees, WE RUN OUT OF GAS on the interstate and coast 1 1/2 miles off exit, stopping 2 miles from the closest gas station (says GPS)!! OH NO! In her sweetest, most desperate voice, Angie calls the gas station 2 mi. away and tells them we have $15 cash (counting tooth fairy money)...was there any way anyone could bring us some gas? The nice manager heard the kids in the background and was on his way bringing us $15 gas.... a true God send! PRICELESS!
