...take me out to the ballgame...

When my parents were in town last week, we all went to the Round Rock Express ballgame. These were after we were 'supposed' to leave, but Ava decided she needed a hot dog at the ballpark, then wanted to sit in the grass and watch some more of the game... :)

I couldn't resist posting a couple of videos from our trip... :)

So I'm finally sitting down to write about the rest of our vacation. After the girls visited grandpa Joe and other relatives in Montana, they went down to Wyoming to spend some time with Jillian's parents. I soon joined them so we could all have some relaxing family time. There was lots of playing in Papa's yard, going to the part, watching Papa catch fish for Ava, etc. We all took a drive down to Vedauwoo after dinner one evening to see the beautiful rocks. I also took a one day float trip with Jillian's dad to do some great fly-fishing on the Platt river. All in all, we had a wonderful relaxing time up in Wyoming.
After we got back home (all baggage included) my parents drove down to hang out with us for a few days. It was great getting to spend so much time with family over a couple of weeks. The unfortunate part, is summer is almost over now!

So, yes we're all alive and doing well. We're part of the way through our lengthy travels for the summer. I figured I'd go ahead and post some of the info rather than having one huge post. So I left for Cali after being in Denton for the 4th of July. We had our huge user conference at the office and I spent the week training and entertaining customers. On the last day, we took them out to Morro Bay so they could see the ocean. While I was there Jillian and Ava flew up to Montana to see her relatives. They had a good time getting to see everyone. They then went down to Wyoming to spend time with her folks, and she attended her high school reunion and had a 'quasi' girls weekend with her good friends. Her friends threw her the first shower for 'new baby,' and taking cues from Ava, proceeded to call him Diego all weekend :) After my conference was over, I drove down to Malibu to see my brother and his wife. Then he and I took off for Palm Springs for a 'guys weekend' of two days of golfing in the desert! I then met up with the girls in Wyoming, where we are till next Tuesday. We're having a great time and I'll post more pictures of this leg later on. Just wanted to keep everyone up to speed with our crazy summer!! Hope all is well...

it's a... boy!

Long story short, while we were in Denton the past two days we ended up getting a sonogram done. Timing was right and we discovered our little blessing is going to be a boy!! We appreciate everyone's continued prayers and thoughts... our due date is Dec. 4th BTW...
