Colorado Springs Trip

Well we are in Colorado Springs.. have been since Wednesday evening. We are here because the State Games of America are being held here and Cory compete's tomorrow in the Martial Arts part of the tournament. We have been really busy being tourists. I wasnt to sure how this trip was going to be because of the evelation and being pregnant. But it really hasnt affected me at all. Thursday morning we went to Pike's Peak I made it up to the stop before the summit... which is 11,000 feet! Yay! Cory and Phyllis went up to the summit and Brenda and I stayed at the 11,000 feet stop. I never once felt sick or hard of breathing. Which was good. Scary driving down because it was foggy, cloudy and rainy and very skinny corkscrew turns. But we made it. Then last night was the opening ceremonies for the State Games of America held at the World Arena. Cory got to walk in the parade of athletes for the state of Kansas which was cool! Friday (today) we got up and we heading to Royal Gorge and we were there pretty much all day. We had a train ride through the gorge. Then we got to go up to the bridge and walk across. That was an amazing view. Tomorrow is Cory's tournament and then we are planning on going to Seven Falls which is a huge waterfall and at night they put lights on the waterfall and its gorgous. I'm 27 weeks along now and feeling great. Feeling kinda big and just blah but oh well.. i keep looking at the fact of I only have 13 weeks left. Which really isnt much. I am in the middle of trying to plan for our baby shower.

Sunflower State games

Yes... 6 months pregnant and competing!! and took 1st!! :)

Feeling Baby Kicking!!!

Yesterday was the first real day I actually felt baby moving inside! Phew! She was just a moving. I think Cory was aggin' her on a bit to keep going. I've learned she doesnt particularly like Ken's Pizza well she does but she gets the hiccups for a LONG time afterwards which is cute! Today Cory had to go mow his Great grandma's yard which it was sooooo very hot out there we deicded to visit his Grandma's pool afterwards.. it was nice to go and relax! We went to church tonight also and then visited his Grandmother Kowitz then home... we FINALLY got the crib all put together and got Madyson's room all arranged to how we want it!! Now we just need a Rocker, Nursery Decor (Which is picked out just need to buy it), and a baby!! :) I'm 24 weeks now and feeling great. can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone.. it seems like it was just yesterday we found out we were pregnant!!! Hope all is well with everyone!!!

4th of July

Well we were here for 4th of july this year. Seemed weird but it was still fun! Thursday afternoon I got off of work about 3 and came home and cleaned the house up a bit. We went out to Brenda's house later to see the project that Cory helped with... a new patio door. Turned out nicely!! :) Friday we slept in and then we went to the mall which was a change for us... I was looking for Maternity clothes but found nothing... Guess we'll have to go to Wichita and get to the bigger stores because hutch has nothing. We then had a karate class over here and then had a pizza party. Saturday we slept in and went to the gorcery store (big mistake.. as everyone was there!!). But got home and quickly made brownies, cupcakes, and corn casserole. Then loaded up and headed to Grandma's house for the rest of the day. We swam and just realxed. Cory grilled burgers and hot dogs for everyone... then we shot off some fireworks... then Brenda Phyllis and us we went to Brenda's house and blew off more fireworks.. from brenda's house you can see the mcpherson fireworks, inman, state fairgrounds, plus many many residential fireworks going on. It was amazing to just sit out ere and watch everyone elses fireworks last night. We got home about midnight... unlaoded the car and today I've been cleaning out Madyson's room... I deicded that Im 23 weeks so I better at least start doing something on her room. This week's corys going to shampoo the carpets and possibly put together the crib we got to see if its in good condition. So needless to say I cleaned out the closet and dresser in here... he has to move the futon and the computer desk then it will start looking like a baby room! :) Yay!!!

Anyways here's a few pictures from out weekend! :)

Enjoy! Hope everyone had a good 4th of July!
