July in a nutshell!

July has gone by pretty fast for me. Madi and I stayed busy. Spending most of our time at the YMCA. We get a free membership while Jason is deployed so may as well take advantage right? Madi has been taking swim lessons in the morning and has been doin great. She is quite the little fish! She even got her first ribbon and was SO proud of herself!!

There is a waterpark out in Anthem that we have gone to a few times too. Madi was very afraid of going under the big bucket the first time, but after all her swim lessons she is becoming more brave of water hitting her face. I got her to go under it 4 times the last time we went! We will have to go again for sure!

We also got to find out we are having a BOY! Oh man I so wish Jason could have been there with me. Just hearing his reaction over the phone was priceless. I just wish I coulda seen his face and shared it with him. Madi and my mom were there and it was fun to have them with me. Jason is excited he finally gets his boy! Me on the other hand, I'm nervous. I know girls. I don't know boys. Im hoping it just comes naturally like it did with Madi. So wanna know his name? Here ya go!!

I have been having fun shopping for Mason. But I am still finding myself going back to the girl section. My mom and I are making the cutest blanket for him! Its all about trucks, robots, cars and bugs!! Can't wait to post pics. I have bought outfits for him too. Its actually kinda fun shopping for something different. Jason and I got rid of EVERYTHING from when Madi was a baby. I kept somethings that I loved of hers like favorite outfits and stuff. We really werent planning on having any more kids. So I am starting over again! But thats ok I know he will be worth it.

With July gone, it means another month closer to Jason coming home. I am glad he will get to be here in Sept. But its hard doing the long part at the end of the deployment. Mason will be 9 months old when he gets back. I pray Jason gets to be here for the birth of his son. He missed Madi's birth by about 16 hours. He was on his way home and just missed it. Madi was not waiting any longer. So I pray Mason can hold out and at least wait til his daddy gets here. Well 2 months are down and only 1o more to go!
