September 30th

This is the date that Matt and I will have our big ultrasound to find out if Baby Staff is a boy or a girl!!!! I will be 22 weeks at that time. You can find out the sex of the baby anywhere after 18 weeks, but it worked out that I don't have school on the 30th. So we can hold on for about a month and a half to find out the big news. For some reason, we both think it is a girl......but what do we know!?!?! I am 15 weeks pregnant today and the baby is the size of a small orange. CRAZY!!!!

Two Years and Counting...

Matt and I celebrated our two year wedding anniversary last night! We went out for a wonderful dinner and reminisced about how things have changed (for the better) in these two short years. I feel so lucky and blessed to have an amazing husband and can't wait to see him as a father!

Virginia Beach '08

We just got back from an amazing Helms family vacation down in Virginia Beach, VA. We actually stayed in Sandbridge, which reminded me of the Outer Banks, but was a few hours closer. It was an amazing week filled with so many laughs, delicious food and hours at the beach. The weather was perfect and the ocean was so inviting! It really made me realize just how lucky and grateful I am to have such a wonderful family and how much fun we can all have when we all get together....all 25 of us!!

This is a picture of the last night when we all went out to a scrumptious seafood dinner.


This is a picture of one of the houses we stayed in "Top Sail." It was the main house and the place where we ate all of our meals, played a mean game of Cranium and had some tough volleyball games in the pools!


This is "Dookie's Dunes." (No that is not a typo.) This is where all of the kids slept and partied. It actually worked out that we could be as loud as we wanted without having to bother the "old" folks. The only downfalls was the wood paneled walls and the bugs:(


This is our family on our family dinner night. Chris and Erin smoked ribs, Bobbi made homemade macaroni and cheese, I made Buffalo Chicken dip and the salad....and Mark and Matt cleaned everything up!


This is my cousin Laura at the seafood restaruant making friends with a crab!!!!
