Elli! Elli! Elli Kate!

AHHH!! Elli Kate Waldrip is here....AND she's 4 and a half weeks old! WHAT?!?!

Sorry it's been so long...but here she is, and she is BEAUTIFUL!! (well we think so!)

It's official...

Elli Kate will make her official appearance on August 20th....well that is if she doesn't decide to come earlier! But I will be induced on the 20th!!

YAY YEAH YEA!!! CAN'T WAIT!! I just want to see her cute lil face right now!

We're BAAACK!!

Oh my goodness it has been a FULL MONTH since I have updated!! GOODNESS! Well what has happened since June 25th....lets see....Aaron and I and his parents went to Boston, New York, and Maine for a fun vacation as well as some of our good friends wedding in Belfast, Maine. It was soooo much fun, and BEAUTIFUL! Manhattan was incredible, and like no other place I have ever been....except for central park, I really don't think I saw any grass there! ha.. Boston, ahh, loved Boston. It is a bit of a slower pace but still has the city feel. Everything was very colonial and super clean and pretty. AND the Red Sox won while we were at Fenway....BONUS!!! Maine was vacation land, and was our last stop for Chase and Paige's wedding...Relaxing, fun and BEAUTIFUL right off of the ocean. (see pics at the bottom)

Also... Elli's Room is PRETTY much finished, but definitely needs a few finishing touches....the bedding (coming very soon..thanks to the best sister and mother in law EVER) and hanging some pictures and the rocker from dear old dad! So take it with a grain of salt, but I think it will turn out really cute! More later when it is OFFICIALLY finished!

Aaron had a birthday and turned the big 2-6! He was off of work YEAH! and we made him breakfast with all his favorite foods, then cooked out at a friends house that night...He had TWO birthday cakes AND Rice Krispies!!

I have grown into a very large basketball....*WARNING* if pregnant bellies gross you out...COVER YOUR EYES! haha!

This is 36 weeks....

Where has????

the summer gone?!?!



It is already the END of June??? NO NO come back Mr. Summer



I have lots of cute pictures that I need to post from our good friends Erin and Clay's wedding this past wkend, BUT since it is midnight thirty....I am going to leave you with this ONE.



I promise I will go easy with the belly pics, but this is one we are using to enter a contest to win this VERY COOL jogging stroller. We really aren't desperate, just thought it would be fun!



The contest is best workout picture....so here is our attempt!

Elli is coming in 8 weeks! CRAZY!! yippee!!

One more thing...My aunt, Dominique and her partner Barry at Captivated Images took some maternity pics that if you are up for it you can check out on her blog here.

They turned out really cute!

ok really...I'm outta here! love!!

Well Hello There!

We are back in action, or should I say finally out of action....and have a bit of down time to catch up!
I decided there are lots of fun events that I have not shared cute pictures of lately. Shame on me! So here we go....less talk more look...Samuel (Aaron's little brother) who he has had through big brother's big sister's since he was nine yrs old, graduated from Coronado High School this year. Adrienne (Samuel's mom) had shirts made for everyone to support Samuel at graduation. It was so cute!
I am very proud of our little Coronado Softball girls! This is not the best picture, but it's the only handy softball one I have available. They went to the Regional Semi-Finals this year and ended up losing to Flowermound Marcus, who advanced to the State Tournament. Such a fun year!My 28 week pregnant belly pic. About 6 months.Aaron and our AWESOME friends planting a few trees in our backyard! I know you were in complete suspence for that update weren't you??Our sweet sweet niece and nephew came to visit last weekend while Aaron's track girls ran at the regional track meet.So much fun at Erin's shower. Becca, Erin and I! Miss them so much! Bec and I are both having little girls!

And the last fun news that I don't have a picture for...is that lots of relay's and Aaron's hurdlers advanced to the State Track Meet, which is where we will be this weekend! GO LADY MATS!

That's all for now, but Cali told me the other day, something that made me laugh....."Hey Cali, why do you work for a school district when you could make so much more money doing something else?"
Cali, Ashley, Aaron and every other teacher in the world's reply: JUNE JULY AND AUGUST!

haha! Happy Summer!

Keepin on!

Ok when we slow down for longer than 10 minutes, I will give a very detailed and fun post with pictures, but until then this is kind of what life looks like right now....

hold on let me catch my head from spinning...

ok got it...

Softball playoffs -play, scout, play, scout.etc

Track Regional Meet-this weekend

Get my stuff overly prepared for the substitute that will be in my room, only to come back to a class full of kids who got NOTHING done! Nice work guys! AWESOME! haha

7 more days of school, 2 of which are half days! AHHHH YEAH!!

I look a lot like a walk around with a volleyball under my shirt these days.

Aaron has done an AMAZING job on the yard, and it is starting to look GREAT!

Elli Kate is looking like it will be spelled with only an "i"....sorry to dissapoint! but hey there are still about 3 mon left so who knows!

love love you all! more later!!

Oh my goodness belly...I mean Ellie

So maybe some of you think, or should I say THOUGHT, that Ashley was the girl who always loved to work out, go running, lift weights, stay in shape...even on Christmas and Thanksgiving Day....YEAH um about that........

The belly, aka Ellie, is making me feel REALLY PREGNANT lately! I just thought I would "be-bop" right through this pregnant thing. Well thankfully for the most part I have (Thanks Lord,) but yes yes, lately I have noticed that I am officially pregnant! haha

Update on Ellie Kate....She weighs aprox. 1.5 lbs maybe a bit more, but ya know. AND I am pretty sure she does Dance Dance Revolution when I lie down at night. She gets after it!

But really I am totally kidding about all the complaining part! Just because I got told today that I am starting to "waddle," I have been crazy blessed to feel great the entire time!

Oh yes, and excuse the REALLY WHITE-ness I have going on in the belly area! haha!

So I have a quesiton...... We are still deciding how to SPELL Ellie Kate?!?! Do you like Elli Kate or Ellie Kate?!?!

Just wondering!!
