Farmers Pike

We went to Farmers Pike today and it was alot of fun. They had alot of neat little shops. Alot of primitive decorations I wish I could have got too!! They had so much baby stuff and it was so hard not to by stuff but, we don't know the sex so we couldn't. We did get a bib made for Tony or Elle and it's below. We went with an orangish yellow for the lettering we thought that was pretty neutral. It was really fun buying this because besides books it was the first actual thing we have bought for the baby! We also got a new flag for our garden flag stand. I had to boot the Tony Stewart flag off (John didn't like it to much). Hope everyone's holiday weekend is going good we will post later on!

First baby bib for Tony or Elle!

We got the new flag at Farmers Pike! We also stopped and got two burgundy mums!

Lola & Hulk Hogan

Lola took a nap with John's Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy from when he was little!! Haha! I caught her in the action and she woke up from the flash.

Jack's Football Jamboree

Lastnight John and I went to my little brother Jack's 7th grade football jamboree. He's the starting center for New Castle Middle School :). I must say I am very proud of him. He got to play the whole game. He's a really good football player. They beat Shanendoah so we were really excited! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!!!

Jack after the game.....he was trying to spot us.

Jack's the player in the green to the far left on the field.

Lola decided to take a nap with me yesterday.

Fan Appreciation Night @ Mt.Lawn

Well we had a pretty good weekend. Friday we didn't really do much of anything just went to Taco Bell because John had been craving it. I can't eat a full meal from anywhere so he helped me finish mine and then he got mad at me because I let him eat my leftovers :) It's so funny because he has even had cramps..haha!!! Saturday we went to Mt.Lawn with our bestfriends Brooke and Jason. It was fan appreciation night, so it was a long night. They had drags, the cop dogs perform, powderpuff races, big wheel race and then the normal races. We had alot of fun! Brooke and I were a little disappointed our least favorite driver didn't get slammed into the wall but maybe next weekend. Today Brooke and Jason are coming over to eat and then we are of course going to watch Big Brother 10 tonight!!!

John & Jason

Scott Runion's car. He's our favorite!!!

This is the 5 that Scott Runion put inside his number 22 in memory of Brooke's dad Scott Hinshaw who's racecar number was 5.

This is Izzy & Howard our future cats when we move to the country next summer... They live with my Mom outside now but we decided we want to adopt the cats because they are hunters.... They have already presented my Mom with a mole, rabbit and several birds & their still kittens!

Baby Benson

Today we got to hear the babies heartbeat. It was absolutely AMAZING! It made everything seem soooo real and it even made me cry but not John :). The doctor said that everything is going great. She said that she was really suprised at how well and loud the heartbeat was. So she said that was a really good thing. We go again on Sept.18th at 2:30 p.m. We will find out what the baby is in October and we will get our ultrasound put on DVD too. So we will try and share it with everyone. Hope everyone is doing well and we will update again soon!

WWE Summerslam

Well this weekend was pretty intersting. Friday we went to John's parents house for dinner. Then Saturday I was sick alllllll day long it was absolutely awful. I swear the baby hates me some days :) John was really sweet though he took me to Bellavita the new Italian restaurant here in town and couldn't eat any of my food. So we got home and he took care of me and I sent him off to the races with Jason because I knew he really wanted to go. Well Casey came over and hung out with me and we watched the Sweetest Thing she had never seen it. If you haven't seen it you have to it's sooo funny my bestfriend Brooke got me hooked on it! Well then Sunday we went to WWE Summerslam as you will see some pictures below from it. If you want to see more pictures leave me a comment and i'll email you the album! It was really cool! John was just soooo excited about it. Each person I wanted to win did besides Mikey James and Kofi Kingston. I have to admit I like wrestling it was one thing I remember avidly from my childhood with my Dad. Hope you enjoy these pictures from Summerslam! Have a good week!

John and myself
Waiting FOREVER to get in!!!!

Casey & I.....making fun of this girl because she cried when John Cena lost...pretty hillarious!!!

Doughtery Orchard

Well the weather was great yesterday so me, Jack and Hali (my brother and sister) decided to go on an adventure! We went to the Doughtery Orchard in Cambridge City. It was alot of fun. I was really craving their amazing pickles too.. We got there and decided to go through the peting zoo and it was alot of fun. We even had two sheep that kept chasing us. It was pretty hillarious because they even thought my camera was food. They were nuts! After we accomplished the zoo it was definately pickle time. I got my pickles and Jack and Hali got a bag of apples and candy. We were a little disappointed because they had no slush cider, popcorn or doughnuts yet. We were a few weeks early for that. We had alot of fun though.

At the end of the pictures you will also see what Lola decided to do while I was getting ready yesterday. She's pretty much a big brat lately.... but wait she always is!!!

Getting ready to start our adventure!

end to a BUSY week!!!

Well I never thought the Mooreland Fair would end this year. We were there every night either at the booth for the shop or just there. I didn't even get to enjoy the fair food because I can't eat anything greasy, fried or spicy, it makes me really sick! We took my little cousins to the fair a few nights because they stayed with my Grandma this week for the fair. John and Connor rode rides together and it was really cute. He loves John to death! We went to the State Fair on Saturday with our friends Michael, Casey, Dane and Chantel it was fun and the weather was really nice. I would of had more fun if I could have enjoyed the food and rode rides! Our friend Michael enjoyed the food though :) he had a deep fried brownie and twinkie. I taste tested the famous deep fried twinkie and wasn't impressed I might have been if I wasn't pregnant! We got to see animals and all kinds of old tractors at the fair. We even saw the tractor John's grandparents donated but didn't realize it untill today or I would have taken a picture of it! After the State fair we went to Anderson to watch the UFC paperview with our friends. On Sunday we went to Bloomington and spent time with John's family it was really nice to visit and spend time with them all! We have had a really busy past week so I am ready for a nice slow week!

I also included some pictures from a cook-out we had last weekend and Brooke's we had alot of fun.

Baby...Baby...Baby

Well John and I found out on July 18th we are going to be parents! We are both soooo excited and nervous! They are estimating i'm due around March 20th but we will know for sure on Aug.21st. We both really want a little boy but we will take what we get :) We already have our names picked out. Tony Joesph for a boy Tony was my Grandpa's name and Joesph John's Dad's middle name. For a girl Elle Raye Sylvana Benson Elle is at the end of my Grandma's Mom's name Annabelle, Ray was my Grandpa's middle name so we thought we just add an e for it to be girly then Sylvana is John's Mom's middle name. We love our names because our baby will be named after amazing people that was in our life and still is! I have been feeling great besides afternoon sickness and not being able to sleep that great at night. Things are really going perfect and we feel so blessed! We will keep everyone updated and post you with everything we find out on August 21st!!!
