Spring Break Fun

For Johns spring break we just wanted to get away and we knew the perfect place. I use to go as little kid and it was always so much fun. We headed out to Shreveport where Papa, my grandpa, has some land with a cabin and a pond. The drive over was nice and quick, the dogs even crashed in the backseat the whole way.







It was the best place to get some one on one time and just relax.
We even got the chance to read a really great book together called the marriage mirror. It didnt take time to find our way around that town. We found the WalMart and that was pretty much all we needed...i think we went there like 3 times. We cooked all our meals, played games, slept in, watched movies and went for walks, and just loved being together! We hope to take a few more trips before the little one arrives because we know the agenda will for sure change once Brennley is with us....but we cant wait!!

The drive up to the cabin

The digs...

John on the dock....

The dogs just loved it....Nelson was our little daredevil

I think he would have even gone swimming if we let him =)

One of the nights we headed up to the casinos...we stuffed our face at the buffet and even walked away with a little extra money in our pockets.

Thank you Papa for letting us use the cabin, John is already talking about going back!

Her First

Thanks to my sister Brennley has her first bow!!! Im totally loving it! Crystal has a friend that makes bows so I dont think there will be a shortage in the Falco household of these pretty little things.

It a Toss up.....

Guess What......

We're having a BABY!!!!!!!

Im 13 weeks on Wednesday and we are finally feeling a little more comfortable and somewhat out of the "miscarriage danger zone"

We are thrilled to start spreading the big news....

John and I went to a fetal maternal specialist in order to check the baby out. Everything looked great but of coarse with me being in the medical field i was ultra nervous and asking a ton of questions. The doctor was able to point out the four chambers of the heart, the brain, the baby's blood flow, the eyes, ears, kidneys, feet, hands and even give us a 95% guess on the gender of the little peanut, the guess was a.....................................................................................................................

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At 8 weeks!

The doctor did tell us not to go out and decorate the nursery but he just kept saying its a girl over and over....it was sooo cool!!!!

If it does turn out to be a girl we already have a name picked out.....Brennley Morgan Falco!!! (still not sure about how we want to spell the first name?)

As we start spreading the news and as my belly continues to grow it is going to feel more and more real.

12 week profile!!

Our Duo will become a sweet Trio around September 16th......we cant wait!!

Amazing flowers from Aunt Crystal and baby's first present...gotta love baby Gap

Happy V Day

Thanks to my sweet husband it was a GREAT day even though I worked the night before and the night of =(

My adorable hubby surprised me with breakfast in bed....I dont think I have ever had breakfast in bed before?!?! On the menu, pancakes, bacon and oj. Those pancakes, although, not the prettiest pancakes, tasted soooo good. =) Who ever said pancakes had to be a certain shape (haha)!!! The tray was even decked out with flowers and a candle. Soooo yummy.

Thanks Hubby for making the day special. I love you!!

The Adventures of Thursday and Friday......

Over the past few months I have had the amazing privilege to watch my two nephews, Tyler and Parker. There have been times I wanted to pull my hair out but looking back on our time together I wouldn't trade it for anything........

I have learned so much not only about myself but also about mothers in general. I have a new appreciation of the title of MOM.....yall do soooo much! I thought I knew but I had NO idea. Also, another appreciation of the single mom. I cant get over how much my sister does day after day being the only person to fix the meals, comb hair, brush teeth, dress, change diapers, wipe runny noses, calm crying child, playmate, teacher, rule setter, book reader, doctor, laundry maiden...obviously I could go on and on....im sure to her the tasks are endless. I only did it for 8 hours two days a week and I was pooped.

Im sitting here writing this because tomorrow is probably my last day to watch them on a consistent basis. I have had soooo much fun and have formed a life long bond with both of them that I know will only continue to grow. As their Aunt I hope to be this close them the rest of their lives. Thank you Crystal for letting me be such a big part of Tyler and Parkers life, it is an honor to be their aunt!!

Here are just a few of the fun things we like to do together....

Playing at the "barn" aka potterybarn kids

Parker always slept soo good on the go

Playing in the sand box

Tree Climbing...please dont fall...

Tyler: RayRay I want to climb

Rayanne: I dont know buddy

t: please

I love you Tyler and Parker <3

Jan 6th. 2007

2009 makes two years!!

I remember how I felt the day of our wedding as if it was yesterday...I hope i never forget!

I knew without a doubt that I was marrying the man of my dreams...

John, you are the most amazing husband. I love you more everyday. It seems like the more we are challenged with the stronger our marriage gets. You are truly my partner and I cant imagine sharing my days with anyone but you. You know how to cheer me up when I am in a funk, you rub my feet even after YOU have worked 13 hours, i feel safe in your arms, i can tell you anything and know that you wont laugh at me (not unless I want you too), you know all my secrets, i know you love me, and i know you are going to make an amazing father one day not only because you are a wonderful unky but i see it in your eyes anytime we talk about our future family. I love you each and every day and forever!!
