Dinner with the Moore family

taken on August 17, 2011

We were invited to have dinner with the Moore family. They have 3 children. All boys! Ben Moore, is the Youth Pastor of his church. Matt and I enjoyed getting to know them. I didn't see this coming until Matt puts on his UT shirt. Matt is always teasing Ben somehow. As you can tell, Matt is a fan of Texas Longhorn. When we arrived to the Moore's house, Ben saw Matt wore his UT shirt and decided to change his shirt to represent his OU team. Yes, you've guessed it. Ben is from Oklahoma. No wonder! Anyway, we had steak and potatoes! Yum yum! Matt was happy! Ben seasoned the steak really good! I throughly enjoyed it. Afterwards, Matt and Ben ended up playing a football game on Wii. Yep, it's Texas versus OU! Great. Matt was happy that he beated Ben by one point! It was his first football game played on Wii. Besides them, Melissa and I chatted as we watched. Oh and she was the first to give me an early baby boy gift! So sweet!! Thanks Ben and Melissa for inviting us over! We had a wonderful time.

I couldn't help but take a lot of pictures of Joanna and Melissa's baby boy (I forgot his name). I have never seen Joanna interacted with another baby playing with toys. It was fun to watch! Especially when they both take the balls away from each other. Ha!

Kansas City, Missouri

We decided to take a little tour downtown Kansas City, MO. It was on a cloudy day and after driving around we ended up checking out City Market because the parking lot was free. We decided to have lunch there since we were waiting for Aaron to get off work at 4pm. Our lunch was a bit expensive so we split a burrito. Oh, it sure tasted really good! If you like Chipotle, I'd definitely recommend this place! The flavors are different but really good! That's just me... but Matt loves it!

Afterwards, we met up with our brother Aaron. We played one game with him while Joanna crawled on the floor. After we had dinner with Aaron and his wife, we went back to St. Joesph.

It's a BOY!!

Wow, we have been waiting patiently to find out the sex of our baby. To our surprise, it is a BOY! Even though Matt wanted ALL girls, he is happy with a boy too! Although, I thought it was going to be another girl... I knew I couldn't depend on what I thought. I've guessed that way because of how I had all the same symptoms I did with my first pregnancy. I am happy with whatever God gives us! It will be a challange now that I have to make rooms for the color BLUE!! Well... you know what I mean.

We are in the process of looking at baby names for him. I can not believe how hard it is!

Now I will have one of each! A girl AND a boy!

Pink and blue. Bows and ties. Dolls and balls.

(the list goes on and on)

How crazy is that?!

Thank you Lord for a baby boy!
