19 Weeks

19 Weeks


This week I am posting from the Braves game! Kiley and her boy, Jake, came into town so we all went to the Braves game! Steven loves me in a backyard hat so this was all for him! haha The shirt was a loose shirt so I was trying to pull it back so you could see the full belly - I feel like this pic doesn't do it justice but it will work! 

This week was all about the nursery! Grandma, Grandpa, Kiley, and Jake were coming in town so we got to work painting, putting together the crib & dresser, and putting up the few decorations we had so that we could have something to show them! :) Note to self - next time you put together a crib... put it together inside the room because they are too big to fit through the door! Still feeling great and getting bigger each week! I feel Zaiah more and more each day but still not enough for Steven to feel yet. I cannot wait for that day yet though. He is definitely more active at night when I am laying in bed! 



18 Weeks...

Pregnancy Brain Fart! :)

Forgot to take a pic this week specially for the baby bump but here is a pic of Steven and I during the 18th week! 


Felt Zaiah for the first time this week!!!! Ahhh it was sooo cool! I was sitting on my back porch working from home before we headed to a wedding and all of a sudden it felt like my stomach muscle twitched. I stopped, looked around and thought "was that him?" and then about 5 minutes later it happened again! I confirmed with a bunch of people that it really was him just in case! It was sooooo cool! It was a couple of days later that I felt him move again! Other than that, just living the preggo life! No crazy cravings! None of the cons of being pregnant so feeling very blessed! 




The Walk '14 Photo Dump

The Walk'14 was a blast! Here are pictures and videos to prove it! 






 Olivia and Alex on stage! Wouldn't be the walk without us making a presence! 









 Steven pulled on stage with 2 other leaders to be blind folded while dancing and eating donuts - little did Steven know that he would be the only one blind folded and dancing by myself in front of 1000 people! 

While the rest of the guys ate pizza and watched USA play in the World Cup - Dunkin sat with us for a dinner and ended up being a real ladies man!

Michaela onstage dancing flailing around!

Jessica is back! Time for a power point!
















Steven baptized Chris in the ocean one night! Praise God!





Snuck out past curfew to jump in the pool! 


Hello June! It's been awhile since I've seen you last...


A year ago today these 2 love birds had their first kiss and then drove off in our jeep as Mr. & Mrs. Commins! Happy 1 year Erica & Will! Here's to many many many more! 

(Erica - sorry about your black eye in the pic - guess it was the filter I picked!) 

Twinning with Michaela & Alex! #jackjohnsonconcert 


Jack Johnson Concert! 

The girls all got tickets to see Jacky J and then invited Michaela and I to come too.... and not as chaperons... as friends! It was so fun! Ran into Sammy there too! 


When you move like a jelly fish rhythm don't mean nothing you go with the flow you don't stop. It's as simple as something that nobody knows... It's always better when we're together! #jackjohnsonconcert rocked! Love these girls! 


Happy Hump/12 week baby bump day! 

See the full 12 week photoshoot here! 


My first diaper bag so sweetly given to me out of no where but from her loving heart from Emily! It was filled with diapers and wipes and a changing pad! So thoughtful! Thank you so much! #verabradley


Happy 13 weeks/2nd trimester to us! 


Happy Birthday to this little gem Alex! I love you so much and hope you have the best day ever! You deserve it! Thank you for ALWAYS making me laugh! I can't wait for the many more memories we will share! I'll even cry for you and with you again if I have to! xoxo


Happy birthday to my youngest brother who is growing up too fast! Love you Austin - I love that both of us really appreciate some good quality time cause we don't care what we are doing as long as we are hanging out! Thank you for being you... your silly, wise, thoughtful self! I love being your sister! Here's to funny faces and making memories for the many years to come but especially the next 2 ones... you can't get rid of me until then! :) xoxo love, sissy


Celebrating this guy with mellow, homemade ice cream cake, and 22 jump street! Austin I love you! See you soon bro! #somethingcool

The whole family went out for Austin's 17th bday to Mellow Mushroom where we followed up delicious pizza with homemade ice cream cake and then headed off to the movies to watch the hilarious 22 Jump Street! Good times!  


The angel trumpets have bloomed!

Every year we have this GINORMOUS stalk that grows and grows in our front yard and we patiently wait for it to bloom - sometime even make bets on the day! It is so pretty when it finally does! We even have to prop the thing up with a basket cause its so big it falls over! 

Celebrating Caleb's big 30! #surprise

Amanda planned an awesome gathering for Caleb's 30th birthday at Highlands! He was pleasantly surprised... even more surprised that his pregnant wife wanted to go to a bar for a drink after dinner! 


Mercedes-Benz Superdome! #touringneworleans with Kelly and Wedi #nola #rims15

Part of the InSite Tour 2015 was pulling our big buses into the Superdome and having champagne (and water) on the field! We got a tour of "backstage" too! It was pretty cool! I think Steven was jealous - well probably not cause he hates the Saints! :) 


14 weeks New Orleans Style! #cafedumonde #poweredsugar #lovestamp #superdome

I was 14 weeks in NOLA so I made sure to get some baby bump pics around the city! 1. I had my first beignet and we took the extra powered sugar and made a 14 on my belly! 2. The Love sculpture is now a US stamp that I actually used for my wedding invites. 3. A pic in the Superdome! 


Bourbon Street! Boas and Beads! #nola 

Our last stop for our Insite Tour was on Bourbon Street - they showered us with boas (we picked orange for Riskonnect of course) and gave us tons of beads to throw out! It was only like 9pm so the street wasn't packed but we still had fun! The best part was the homemade bananas fosters they served us! YUM! 


Good morning #walk14 ! This group is ready to encounter Jesus! #watermarkejuniors

Another year at The Walk! It was freakin' awesome. 
More pics below and a whole photo dump here


Next time USA! We still love you! #walk14

The World Cup 2014 was this year! We all dressed in our best red, white, and blue! 


Yup! She's back! 

Jessica is back from Hawaii & Jordan and we planned for her to surprise the girls at The Walk from the beginning and it was a huge success! The girls were so happy and crying so much from joy! It was such a great thing to watch... they love her so much! So do I! 




15 weeks at The Walk '14!



My soul devotion, my only focus, to worship you. My life surrendered, my heart abandoned, for more of you! #foreverchanged #walk14 - Absolutely love spending time with these friends of mine that are so beautiful inside and out! 


Yea you could say I've missed her! Jessica let's rock this summer! (hand shake) 

Just a little Jessica/Jordan photoshoot! 



Celebrating Baby Mason Today! #lovedalready Love you girls! 



The many beautiful faces of Lillian Grace! Ah I love her so much! Jen and Mark are very blessed parents with this precious little one in their arms! #lillygrace

I met Lilly at about 8 days old and she was PRECIOUS! I mean... look at those faces! Mark & Jen are doing well too! Proud parents! 



Happy Birthday to my dad! Aka Grandpa J! Love him bunches! #selfiewithdad

Around his birthday this year, Dad & Dawn bought a new house (closer to me...yay!) so after his birthday dinner at Pure...


We went back to their house to check it out and open gifts! 
We figured he should be the first one in the pool too! 



Lunch with these awesome chicas of mine! #chipotle #izzy #longtoenails love yall both sooooo much! 


A few misc pictures from the month: 

These are typical poses for our pups. Booti is always laying on his back legs and arms sprawled with lips loose to the side

And Nora loves to bury her head! 

A few projects from the month: 

Beach Spikers make great gifts for Master & High School Grads! 
I made these with Pollie Mae! 



This is a pic of all of my scrap fabric rolled up and out for display - I can basically open up my own fabric shop now! I just cut cardboard boxes up and rolled the fabric like they do at Joanns! 

Riskonnect Summer Party Pics: 
They had a petting zoo for the kids but I loved it too! 







 A mini horse - I asked Wendi to stand next to it to show how mini it was!


 Asher singing karaoke! What does the fox say?
