Here are some pictures!!!!

Here they are.....I know it's been a while since I've posted any, so forgive me for the overload! THe quality is not the best in the outside picture....thanks to the humidity. And, I did not realize how badly I needed a visit with the sun. (Big baby===no iron!!) Grace loved school again today! Hope life is treating you all well! Enjoy the pictures!

I Have Survived.....

It is all most time to go pick Grace up from her first day of school, and I have not yet had a panic attack. I tried to write a post last night, but for some reason it would not post. So, I'll give you a run down.

Grace and I spent the last day of her being a "little kid" doing girlie things. She got her haircut, and nails painted, and we made cookies for her snack. We read "The Kissing Hand" before bed. (Meagan got this book for us. I'm not sure how I made it through it, but anyone who has a child starting school should read it. Thank you Meagan!) Kristy sent Grace some pink tulips wishing her good luck at school, and Grace was really excited about the bubble wrap! I am so blessed to have people in my life that love our daughter so much.

Wes and I got up this morning and made Grace chocolate chip muffins (her favorite!!), then went to wake her up with the camera and camcorder in hand. ( I will post both, but Wes will have to show me how to do the video, and I have to get the pictures developed.) of course, the outfit I had picked out was not suitable for the first day of school (according to Grace), so we had to pick something else out. She wanted to be able to wear her cool new tennis shoes, so she could not wear the dress I had picked out. She looked so sweet.

We headed to school, and about halfway there, Grace said "Mommy, you ARE going to walk me in, right? I didn't know if they would let us get out so I told her that we would see. When we pulled up she saw other parents, and said "Mommy they got out, so you have to! I don't know which of us was more relieved. I only got to walk her to the front door, and that was the only time I nearly freaked out. When some other lady walked up and told me she would make sure she made it from there. I got a bit teary eyed. But survived.

I went back to help at lunch, and she was having the best time. She ate well, and was happy to see me. (Which of course made my day). She got Mr. Mike as her teacher, and he let me know that everything was going well. Her best friend from camp, Erin, is in her class, and Mr. Mike let them sit next to each other. I got to sit with her for a minute during lunch, and she let me know that Kindergarten was THE BEST.

Thanks Kristy and Sarah for calling and checking on me. i am so lucky to have you both. I can't wait until you have kids and I can do the same for you. Thanks to my family who love us and helped to prepare us for this day. Thank you Wes, you are amazing. THank you for being understanding everytime I have dissolved into tears. You have been very patient with me. You have been the best husband and dad. Kindergarten is going to be a great adventure for all of us! And, in five years, we will be doing it all again!!!!!

So, I am FREAKING OUT!!!!

My child, my baby, my mini-me, will be an official Kindergardner in T-minus 9 days! Are you kidding me? I've gotten to where every time I think about it, or talk about it, panic shoots up my spine. I am a nervous wreck. Just ask poor Wesley.....the tears just won't stop coming. I know, I came blame some of it on uncontrollable hormones, but wow, I'm freaking out. I have to head up to the school in a little bit to find out who her teacher is (Grace and I are hoping for Mr. Mike.....will explain more), sign her up to ride the bus to the YMCA in the afternoons, get her school supply list, sign up for the PTA. AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH! I don't know how I am going to survive her first day. Grace on the other hand is so excited she can't see straight. She really wants Mr. Mike, one of her counselors at camp to be her teacher. She has a small crush on him, and I must say, girl's got good taste. Mr. Mike is a cutie. (that's for you WEs.) I hope she loves it as much as she has loved camp this summer. She has grown up so much this summer, and while not all of it is good (she's been introduced to a bully and how catty girls can be) she has also matured so much. I'm still not ready though.

In other news. Baby Farmer is HUGE! He went from measuring just a hair ahead of me to measuring THREE WEEKS ahead. We may have a baby on my birthday (which, just as a reminder, is the 9th of October.) The three of us are so ready to meet him. He got another sweet gift this week. Wes's best friend Jennifer of "Jennifer and Alex" was in Birmingham, and came by to see WEs. She really came by to see the three of us, but I suck, and Grace and I went to C-town this weekend. She got Baby Farmer the cutest little shirts that say "Single", and "Ladies Man." He's going to be precious in them. WE love you JENN! I am so sorry that we missed you this weekend. Hopefully we will make it to Oxford before the baby gets here, if not soon after!

Wesley got to spend some quality time with my dad last week at SEC Media Days. He went on the day that Richt (spelling?), Nutt, Satan....oh, excuse me, Saban, and FULMER were there! You think he was a little excited?!?!? I mean, Grace and I went the day before, and the only person we saw was Tim Tebow. Just kidding. No Tebow for me. Dad said you would have thought Elvis had entered the building. Wes had a great time, and a much deserved day off work.

I am just working, and freaking out. I've signed up for a bit of overtime once school starts. I've got to have something to occupy my time. May as well get paid for it.

Oh, Meagan's ENGAGED!!!! Jonathan has now gotten orders from me to move closer. I can't have my baby Jake acrosss the country from me. Speaking of Jake, which I like to do, he's so handsome. I haven't seen him in what seems like forever, but I saw some pictures, and he's starting to look like a big boy now. So sad. But, we will be having a wedding some time next summer, so everyone get ready. Grace says she will only be in it if it is outside, so Dad , you better get to working. Speaking of dad and his garden. Those of you who have seen his garden know how beautiful it is. He puts alot of work into it. But, I must say, it is the prettiest I have EVER seen it this summer. I'm not kidding. And, he doesn't read this, so I'm not sucking up. It's truly georgous! If you're in the New Hope area, you should stop by and see it. You would enjoy it, my dad would LOVE you for it, and he would probably send you home with a vase of flowers, some homemade pepper sauce, some tomatoes, and a cantelope.

Ok.....I need to get productive. Hope all is well with everyone else!


OH---one more exciting thing! Sarah is an aunt!! I mean, she's been an "aunt" for nearly six years, but her sister gave birth to a beautiful baby boy last week, so she is an official aunt now! Congrats Sarah!
This is Grace at one week old, hard to believe she will be in "big School" next week!" I love you Grace!

Lately........

Life at our house has been rather low key the past week or so, and boy, have we enjoyed it. I worked all weekend, and it was rather stressful, so it has been nice to have things calm at the house. My mom, sister, and Jake came Sunday night, and it was so nice to have them. Jake is so much fun. He has got a ton of personality. And, he loves his Farmer family. Meagan and Jake flew to Oklahoma Monday morning, Grace convinced KK to stay all day Monday and play with her. They had a blast, and they cooked us dinner. We are so spoiled.
Oh.....thanks guys for all the sweet estimates for how big you think baby Farmer will be. Just remember, some of you will have kids one day. And believe me, I will be wishing ten pound babies on you too!!!! I go back to the doctor next week, so we'll see what she has to say.
Meanwhile, my camera is STILL broken...it stinks. I have got to have it fixed soon....first day of school is coming quickly! Hope everything is going well for everyone else!

Let's see who's really reading........

I found a game. It's going to let all my blog followers guess the weight of Baby Boy Farmer. Just a warning.....the doctor told us a couple of weeks ago to prepare for a linebacker. Seriously, she did. I'm not saying that to throw anyone off....it's just the truth. Just follow the link, and it will prompt you....




Here's a glimpse, not a flattering glimpse, of just how huge he is.
This is not a flattering picture of myself, it is of Jake, and I am standing swaybacked because my nephew weighs a ton! But....it is an idea.

Meanwhile, Grace is counting down the days until Kindergarten starts. She is so pumped! One month from today! Mom's going to come over soon, and we're all going to go back to school shopping. How fun! Grace is all ready a bit of a pain to shop with, so it will be nice to have my mom there for reinforcement. We will find out who her teacher is in a couple of weeks, I am so excited! And nervous!

Wes is working, and keeping busy with all of the projects I have for him. We painted the baby room. I took pictures, but my camera is currently being sent for repairs. It is so cute though....blue with stripes.

We went home last weekend for Jake's first birthday....enjoy the pictures!
In the water! Cake!

Father's Day.....etc.

Happy belated Father's Day! (I'm only a week late!)

I thought you all might enjoy the card that Grace made for Wes. I wish I had a scanner so I could upload it...but for now, i will just share what was written:

"10 Things I Love about Wesley"
10: The way he eats his cereal
9: He plays
8: He takes me to school
7: The way he walks, sometimes like a dog
6: Does tricks: like flipping
5: Sleeping with his arm over his eyes
4: His kisses
3: When he throws me up in the air
2: He loves my mommy
1: He loves me and I love him!



Pretty sweet , huh? Father's Day was actually pretty uneventful. I ended up having to work, so Grace and Wes had it to themselves. I got to talk to my dad that evening. We celebrated at work though. My favorite doctor was on, and we did a breakfast for him. He was quite flattered.


In other news: Grace loves camp, we cannot keep her entertained on the weekends. And you should see her when she gets home. She is a mess!!!

Kristy Watkins came and saw us this week. Unfortunately we did not get to stay at our house because we had no air conditioner. But, we had a great time. It was so good to have a girlfriend in town just to chat and catch up with. I miss her so much!

We also got to sweet packages in the mail yesterday! Zach made us a sweet card congratulating us on our new addition, it was very sweet, and he makes the cutest cards. Seriously, he could put Hallmark out of business. Also, Joe and Paula sent Baby Boy Farmer his first clothes!!!!! So sweet! We are so lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives!
