DaKota's Vet visit..

Ok so I just got back from the vet with DaKota. Everything went GREAT except it cost us an arm and a leg to get her out!! We went in for her yearly testing and what not and I actually had to catch some of her pee in a cup!! Gross I know!! So after some great results from all the test they did a physical exam. Well lets just say DaKota is a chunky monkey and they put her on a diet!! Haha they gave me a measuring cup for her food and told me only to feed her twice a day (which I already do) and only 1 cup at a time!! Well I compared what I usually feed her and yeah lets just say DaKota never should be starving!! haha.. I feel so bad!! Another thing they told me I had to start doing what brush her teeth!! She has some gingivitis and plaque build up. They said bone chewing helps but brushing definately helps. Since we got our new camera we have been playing around with it so much. And since the baby isnt here yet we have been taking tons of pictures of DaKota! Diva in the spot light!! haha here are some great pics of my spoiled dog!!
This is her with her two favorite toys. Her chew bone and her orange ball. This wont be the only time you will see this ball PROMISE. She constantly has this thing with her. Its like her binky..
See what I mean... Even rests with it!!
She even chews on it like a piece of bubble gum. Its so cute!!
Ladd is becoming quite the photographer.

I took this picture!! Go me!! and yes theres that ball again!! And this was a different day!! Alrighty that it for now. :)

Baby's Name!!

Alrighty here is the deal. At first Ladd and I wanted to keep the baby's name a secret. When we found out that it was a boy and we had picked the perfect name, we started to call it that when it was just me and him around instead of referring to 'it' as Jellybean. Well since then Ladd has slipped to a few people not realizing he had said the name till after the other person caught it. Well one day he accidently slipped and said it in front of my little brother. Ryan didnt catch it at first but he figured it out and so the people Ladd hasnt told Ryan has, including my other brother. So now both of our whole immediate families know, so Ladd and I decided tonight that its pointless to keep it a secret now bc the people we truely wanted to keep it from know. So here we are telling the world that our son's name will be:

Greyson Ladd Moehnke

Alright now that is taken care of, my friend Jessi pointed out that no where on the blog or facebook points out that it is going to be a boy. Well if you havent guessed already from all the blue and what not its a BOY!! :)

BabyShower Weekend!

This is going to be a long one but TONS of pictures!! Enjoy..

Well this weekend was my mom's babyshower for me. Friday when Ladd got home from work we drove to Brownwood. We didnt get to bed till real late because we were waiting on my Aunt Sandra to get there and when she finally got there we all stayed up and talked for a long while. Well Saturday my mom and I went to Bangs to get flowers for the shower and on the way it started to POUR!! When we got back apparently lightening had struck the house or close enough that it messed up the satellite, flipped breakers, and quite possibly fried the downstairs TV and electronics. So we just prepared food for the shower and got things together while we waited on the rest of the family to get there to go golfing.


So I think it was Thursday when I called Ladd and asked where he was at on his way home from work. He said traffic was super bad and it must of been a wreck because he wasnt even at 290 yet. So I was like geeese.. Well apparently 'traffic' was him stopping at Best Buy and buying the camera I have been so patiently waiting on getting!! Well while I was gone getting flowers he had wrapped it. So when I got back Ryan (little brother) said he was sooo excited about his present and that I could open his right then. So I opened it and at first I thought he had put his present in a speaker box but then I said wait... Rebel?? Then I screamed and started to cry!! I was so excited!! Here are some pictures we took after we read the intrustions on how to operate it!! haha!!
Finally around 3 went to the golf course. Everyone went, even my grandma! It was a blast!!
And this isnt everyone!! They were playing best ball and this is them all putting from the same spot!!
Haha this was when I tried to hit the ball. It went really far but not in the right direction and it went off into the brush/trees.. Yeah it was kinda funny!!

While we were playing it started to sprinkle real heavy. I didnt feel like standing in the rain and get all damp and what not so I stood under the unbrella and watched. :)

Sunday rolled around and getting everything ready for the shower was fun!! My little cousin Luke found my mom's ginormous rooster and sat on it like a horse. It was so cute and with my new camera and its fast picture taking I caught the moment!! :)

This was the table after everything was done and ready. Ladd's mom had decorated the cake and it was gorgeous!!
Then my mom wanted to take pictures with everyone. So here are some family pictures with me! This is me with my 2 mothers.. Ladd's mom Connie and my mom Connie..
This will be the great grandma's. Grandma Haehn and Grandma Hadley.
And these are my 2 cousins that really wanted to get in on the group pictures. Canyon and Luke.
And this is everyone that helped my mom out with the shower. Grandma Haehn, Aunt Debra, my mom, Aunt Tammy, Lily, Alisha, Aunt Sandra and Luke squeezed in.. Before we started to open presents my mom started a game. You had to remember what was in the diaper bag and at the end you had to write down what you could remember and whoever could remember the most won a prize. Then I started to open presents!!My Grandma Hadley bought me this amazing quilt! It was perfect!! I absolutely love it!!Then Ladd's mom had a blanket she said she bought like 5 years ago for her first grandson. Well this will be her first grandson so this was her present, a gorgeous blue quilt that will come in handy!!This is what my mom gave me. Haha.. I was sooo excited! Can you tell? Then I wanted to show everyone the overalls I was in the process of making. Not quite done but will be soon!! :) This was another game my mom played. Whoever had the heaviest purse won!!My Aunt Sandra got Ladd a present and said he had to open it. It was sooo cute. A small golf club set for a toddler. So adorable!! Towards the end I just sat around and talked to some of my friends from High School. Tamela and Jessi. :) Caught up on everything. It was fun!!
Ladd broke out the clubs when we got back home in College Station and played with them for a bit. Ladd swears up and down that he will be left handed but we shall see. :) This is the cutest picture ever!! Thanks Aunt Sandra, Uncle Jerry and the girls!! Now I just got to go through everything I got and put it all up where it goes!!

Its been a while!!

Ok so I thought I would be super bored since school has been out and I would have so many post, but it really hasn't panned out like that. Actually from spending time at Brad and Ragan's to spending like 5 days at Ladd's parent's house I havent had time to post anything!!


Ok a weekend or so ago I stayed with Brad and Ragan while Taylor and Allison was down from Colorado and while Ladd was at work AND because I didn't have school anymore and staying at home was BORING!! (wow that was a run on and had a ton of ands) Ok So that made that week go by super fast, then that Friday we went to Taylor for Ladd's cousin's wedding. When we got there Ladd's mom was a little behind on making flowers so I helped out.


Even Dana got into the action. We had a little assembly line going.. I bound the flowers and Dana put them on the wrist bands for the corsages. Ok then we had to head back to College Station because I had a final on Wednesday and I was going to spend the beginning of the week in the Library.


Ok this past weekend was the best. We spent Friday thru Tuesday at Ladd's parents house just chilling and having a grand ol' time. I got to help Ladd's Mom (Connie) sew some of my baby room decor (ie crib sheets, bumper pads and pillows). Believe it or not I love to sew and be crafty!!



While I was sewing and doing my thing, Ladd got bored and started to trace and cut out names. We had fun!! And my boa-pillow cover came out amazingly good!! Love it!


Then on Monday Ladd, Connie, and I traveled to Austin to go to Babies-R-Us and other stores looking for baby decorations and whatnot. Well we only ended up buying a changing table pad and a mattress for our bassinet. When we were at BRU we thought it would be a better idea to get a recliner instead of the expensive rocker. Well after driving all over town looking for a furniture store that carried descent recliners, we gave up and decided the rocker would be better for the baby and we could get a recliner later. We order the rocker on Friday!! Thanks to Ladd's parents!! Yay!! So excited!!


Alright now for the moment everyone has been waiting for!! Belly pics!!





Ok so we took a ton of pictures but I'm starting to get stretch marks and my belly button is getting super stretched too so its starting to look super disgusting!! If you look close enough (just to point it out) under my belly and on my "love handles" are the only stretch marks so far. Lets just say Cocoa/Shea butter lotion doesn't really work :( I'm living proof..

Alrighty Ill post again when something exciting happens. Oh this next weekend coming up my mom is throwing Ladd and I a baby shower so look forward to exciting post on Monday!! Just a reminder count down till the first Aggie Football game is coming up!! WHOOP! I'm going to be making overalls these next few days for me and Jellybean so I might post some in-progress pictures of that!! Check back Monday!! Promise something good will be up!!
