The Countdown Begins

8 days…and Hailey Elizabeth (Stallone) Carnes will be here. The surgery date was moved up from Thursday, July 24th to Tuesday, July 22nd, which I know Nicki is excited about. Thank you for any and all prayers that everything will go smoothly. My prayer for 9 months has been that Hailey will be born completely healthy and completely whole, and that she would be smart and beautiful…selfish I know! 🙂

The Best Family

I’ve got the two greatest boys in the whole world.

My wife’s hot, even when she is solarized!
I was bored at Grammy’s graduation 🙂

The second hottest girl on this blog!

Conversation with a 5 Year Old.

Photobucket

This was the conversation that was being yelled across a couple of rooms between Nicki and Gavin (our 5 year old) this morning…

Gavin: “Mommy!”
Nicki: “What?”

Gavin: “It feels like Tristan has a baby in his tummy!”
Nicki: “What?”

Gavin: “It feels like Tristan has a baby in his tummy!!!”
Nicki:
“That’s just Gas!”

Gavin: “Oh!”

:mrgreen:

A friend was telling me they had a conversation with a guy where they asked, “Why would someone want to bring a child into this evil world?” – My response when I heard the question was…”With the world as evil as it is, children are the pure ones (not meaning without sin), they are the innocent ones. Their motives are pure.”

With Nicki being pregnant, Gavin understands that she has a baby living in her…so it was normal and natural as he and Tristan were playing/wrestling to relate Tristan’s tummy rumblings to be nothing more than a baby! It was a great moment!

Weekend Re-Cap

Here’s a recap from this weekend:

  • Friday was awesome for two reasons:
    #1 I was off.
    #2 TCAG put on our bi-annual Movie on The Lawn for the community, we had over 2,000 people from the community show up!
  • Movie on the Lawn is a night where we show a free movie on a huge screen at our community outdoor amphitheater. We give free popcorn, free drinks, free sno-cones, and sometimes free hotdogs to all who attend. Its a huge bridge event for our church.
  • Saturday, I went to breakfast at Sunrise Grill with Nicki, that’s our Saturday morning breakfast date, we don’t miss it unless we are out of town. I don’t let anything interfere with this “date” as Nicki loves it there.
