I so happy to say that there will be a girl in the Sangalli/Thomas family. John and Jessie found out that thier baby is a SHE! I'm so ready to buy all the cute little smocked dresses and bows that I have been eyeing for years! So get ready Miss Jayleigh (Is that the right spelling Jessie?) Aunt Kerri will spoil you rotten!
We have been meeting the gang (Anna Carol "Sissy"/Mason, Erin/Mary Elizabeth, Ashley/Davis, Laura/Megan, Molly/Sydney and Carson) for lunch and/or playdates this summer. The first week was US Pizza, then the Zoo/Burges, then the playground/Jason's Deli. Here are pics from the Zoo. I am so gald that I have this group of friends! They are my lifesaver at moments!
We went to Texarkana a couple of weekends ago to see all the family that hadn't met Carter yet. We went down early on Friday afternoon so we could eat at Nanya and Goober's new resturant. It was very good. It's called Roo's Bistro if anyone is down there and looking for somewhere to eat. After lunch and a nap Papa and MawMaw Sangalli came over and MawMaw held Carter while Papa and Daddy went fishing with Will. I think they caught more turtles than fish! Saturday Daddy and Goober played golf and Nanya and Wendi watched the boys while I did a little shopping. Then after naps we got in the pool. Will had the best time and was SO brave! He was jumping in all by himself and swimming the length of the pool! Papa and Nanny Brimer came over and Papa gave Will "lessons" with his new golf clubs! Sat. night the family came over for BBQ! The boys always play poker and let Will join in this time! He was calling it "tokens" because of the poker chips. Sunday we all went over to Papa and MawMaw's for lunch. What a great weekend and the boys were spoiled rotten as always!
We did Carter's newborn photo shoot a couple of weeks ago and let me say it was a chore with 2! We did the first one, yes I said first one, the week after he was born. He was NOT in the mood. He was hungry the whole time, peed on Shane TWICE and pooped one me once! Christy was SO patient with us, finally she and I looked at eachother and at the same time said "Can we reschedule?". So the next week we went back for take #2. This time was better for Carter, but Will didn't want to coorperate. Christy's little girl was there and he wanted to play and watch movies with her! Eventhough we had difficulties Christy got several great shots! I don't know how that girl does it, but she has magic! So this shot was one of the last and by far my favorite! Check out her blog to see other great pics she has done of other's little ones! Thanks Christy I can't wait for my pics to come in!

Happy Father's Day Daddy! This year for Father's Day Nana and Papa came over for lunch. We had steaks! yummy! The boys got daddy a iPod boom box and a grill light that he's really been wanting. I also want say that Shane is the best daddy I would have ever wanted or prayed for my babies! He is loving, playful, kind, understanding, helpful, supporting, and a great role model to my boys and I am so thankful to have him in our lives. It's the best feeling in the world to see my baby's eyes light up when thier daddy walks in the door. On a personal note, I am so gratefull that he works so hard to allow me to stay home with the boys, thank you. I know I don't tell you that enough, so thank you!

Yes, I am now 30! I thought turning 30 would be harder that it was but it's not! My dear sweet hubby planned a birthday bash with the help of my dear girl friends! My birthday was the 30th of May but with the arrival of Mr. Carter they moved the party to the weekend after. It was at my best friend's home and the girls out did thierselves with the decor and Shane out did himself with the food, along with Jarrod, David H, and David B. He stayed up all night smoking the meat (pork sholder and ribs) and made homemade ice cream, thanks babe! My hubby got me a Pandora braclet, my boys got me a new camera, and my dear friends and family got me other great goodies! We had so much fun at the party! Thanks to everyone who came and made my 30th the best I could have asked for!
You had your last day of MDO the day Carter was born, May 22. Since mommy and daddy had to be at the hospital so early and your grandparents we there too, Lauren was a SAINT and came to the house at 5am, stayed with you till you got up, got you ready for school and took you. Thank you so much! Jessie and John came and picked you up, took you to get lunch, and then took you home. You loved school this year. You talked about your friends and teachers all the time.
Well I turned THIRTY a couple of weeks ago! Actually it was May 30th, but we had my party the following week cause we thought Mr. Carter was due to arrive that weekend. My great hubby and wonderful friends gave me a great party. Thanks girls! We had great bib, homemade ice cream and cobbler, and cake! YUMMY! The kids had a BLAST in the sprinkler and pool-o-balls. So much fun! My boys got me a new camera for the diaper bag/backpack and my hubby got me a Pandora bracelet. I love them! I also got some great gifts from family and friends, thanks everyone! I really thought 30 was going to be this corrodible thing that I hated, but it hasn't been that bad. Maybe it's because I love my life right now and I see it as the next decade and not as my twenties are gone. Thanks to all how called, sent cards, and gave me gifts. You all are very important to me and made my 30th the best I could have ever had! I love you all!
