New paint and mirrors

New bedding

Will and I have been busy working on nesting projects all summer as we get ready for Connor's arrival. We painted two bathrooms and changed mirrors and fixtures. We built an outdoor playset for Weston and refinished patio furniture. We painted Weston's big boy room and moved him to a big bed, which he loves! We also trained Weston to use the potty, which was probably the most challenging of all "projects". I have been busy painting canvases for the boys' rooms, cleaning out closets, and finishing Weston's baby book:) Next on the list is washing and putting away baby clothes for Connor. The summer has flown by, but it has been a lot of fun preparing for the arrival of our new little guy...less than 6 weeks to go!!!

5 Wonderful Years!

Will and I celebrated our 5th wedding on July 2nd. Five years have flown by so fast! It has been great sharing life with my best friend. Will is such a wonderful husband and father, and I feel so blessed to have him in my life. God has been so good to us over the years as we have moved several places and met many wonderful friends. He has blessed us with our sons, Weston (2 years old) and Connor (who will arrive in less than 6 weeks)! I am so amazed at how great our God is, and how he shows his love for us through our spouses and children.

I think Will told Weston about UAVs.

Weston: "But I want to fly F16s when I grow up"

The F-15

Not sure what it is, but it is really cute!

After a very busy weekend, we went to the Columbus air show on Sunday after church. We almost skipped it because we were so tired, but it was well worth the trip. Weston enjoyed looking at all the "panes", and Will got to see his friend John "NUKE" Gallemore. Will & John were T-37 instructors together at Columbus years ago, and they both went on to fly F-16s in Phoenix, AZ for a little while. I think it has been 5 years since we last saw the Gallemores. They are stationed in Las Vegas now.

Abby, Kim, and Noah met up with us in Orange Beach two weeks ago. We had fun getting our boys together, and catching up before Evie Kate and Connor get here in August and September! We had a girls' trip for the first few days, and then Will flew a jet down to the Pensacola Navy base, where we picked him up for the weekend.

We have decided on a name for Weston's little brother...Connor Calloway Parrott. He is named after my dad's grandfather. We can't wait to meet our little Connor!
