The night I got back from my trip I noticed something funny... a closet rod sitting in our spare bedroom. I said, "Matt, what is this rod doing here?" and he nonchalantly responds, "Oh, just a spare rod." Spare rod??? What is he talking about?
I could see in his closet and it looked the same...
It clearly wasn't from there... but.... how....
So, I run to our bedroom, smell the scent of cut wood, throw open my closet....
and I GASP when I see this!
My dear sweet husband took a half day off of work the day I was getting home and surprised me by building a closet system with his own two hands! I have wanted a closet organizer for SO LONG now and we kept putting it off for various reasons. He didn't even have a design or anything - just some wood, his imaginaton, and a pencil to draw on the wall. He is such a sweetheart... I just had to share!
As I mentioned before, summer is not summer for us without some rodeo action! Strawberry days is probably my favorite... too bad I was too excited about the two cups of strawberries 'n cream I bought to stop and take a picture of them! Just imagine a cup of beautiful, sliced strawberries drenched in the most heavenly sweet cream... ahhhhh. The evening started out with mutton busting (see picture below... that's a kid on the sheep), which lead to a conversation of how we're going to convince our son to ride a sheep... Mom and Dad, get ready, bc I think we decided we're going to have to convince you guys to buy the sheep :) 
We went in for our "full" ultrasound today -- it is so amazing to watch! She checked his heart, kidneys, bladder, several areas of his brain, his lips, etc. They will send the images to be reviewed, but she said everything looked normal and healthy! We're still on target for an October 19th due date and our little man - who has been officially double checked... talk about indecent exposures, it's definitely a boy! - is 3/4 of a lb right now! Here is a profile picture (head & ribs) and a shot of his foot! We are just so excited for him to get here!
