Emma Mackenize

It's official we have decided on a name! It seemed much easier the first go around (with a boy's name). This time we went back and forth with a few different choices. We both really like Emma as a first name. No real significance other than we just like it! Cody's middle name is Mac. This was also is grandfather's middle name and a family name. We used his dad's middle name as Hudson's middle name so we still wanted to incorporate Mac. That's where we came up with Mackenzie!

The day before Thanksgiving we went in for a 3D/4D sonogram to see what our little girl looks like. Here are some pictures from the sonogram....



Today I am 31 weeks and 1 day, so that means only 9 weeks until we will see her in person! This pregnancy has just flown by compared to the first time!

Scroll down for some Thanksgiving fun!

Thanksgiving 2011

Yesterday afternoon we head to the Johns' house for Thanksgiving dinner and some Cowboys football with Cody's side of the family. The Cowboys keep surprising me every week, but I guess a win is a win!

This is what trying to take a picture with an almost 2 year old looks like! He did NOT want his picture made.

A little later we tried again...


All smiles for Uncle Matt (Cody's brother)


"The boys": Poppy (Rick-Cody's dad), Uncle Matt, Hudson, and Da-Da



"The grandmas": Grandma Vi (Rick's mom), Hudson, Lala (Teresa-Cody's mom), and MeMemaw (Teresa's mom). Hudson got lots of loving from his Lala and two great-grandmas.


Tomorrow we are headed to my Aunt's house for Thanksgiving with my Mom's side of the family. More family pictures to come after that!
