The World!

So I've always wanted the world painted on Keri's belly when she was pregnant....I was granted my wish when Jenn and Chris came to visit this spring. I loved it! Thanks so much Jenn. This is priceless. :)

We were all playing settlers and wanted to watch the world evolve so we had Keri prop herself up on the island in the kitchen. What a woman!

Our 5th Anniversary!

BIG CEDAR LODGE

I suprised Keri with a trip to Big Cedar Lodge for our 5 year anniversary/Last trip before the baby comes trip! We had a fabulous time relaxing and hanging out together!

Our community group leaders, Tracy and Renee, took us out to eat at Bone Fish Grill for our anniversary!

Keri suprised me with a 40 inch flat screen LCD TV! It is awesome! She worked a couple Saturday shifts to cover most the cost. She is the coolest wife ever!

Chocolate covered strawberries awaited us in our room! They were awesome.

They gave us a cake for our anniversary.

Keri and I loved this coffee shop called the Truman House. It had the greatest cream cheese danish I've ever tasted. For real....

I suprised Keri with an hour long mom-to-be message. She loved it!

The paddle boat trip left us burnt to a crisp once we were done.

We loved laying out by the pool while eating snow cones!

This is a shadow of the man guiding our carriage ride. I thought the shadow was kinda cool.

Me and the belgian horse named "Willie."

Our time was great. We loved our getaway!

Bye Bye Acxiom!

After 2 years and 205 days my Acxiom days are over! (Who's counting...) God has been good in giving me great people to work with as well as a flexible schedule; however I am so excited to start teaching in the Fall. I will miss my running on the river trail and basketball games during lunch though!

The picture below is of some of my co-workers at Juanita's for my going away lunch.

Closer and Closer....

When this picture was taken we had about 9 weeks to go! Lil' Helmick should be making his/her arrival in about 8 weeks!

Kari's Visit and Kelli's Graduation!

Our good friend Kari came to visit Keri and me for the weekend. Troy is still deployed with about a month to go which is why he wasn't able to make it. We had a fantastic time with Kari . We got to talk to Troy on Skype which was pretty cool. It was so good to see that he is doing well.

Keri and I after Kelli's graduation.

The Graduate! Stephen graduated on the same day at MTSU so Kelli and Stephen were unable to be at each others graduation. Bummer.

The entire gang that were able to make it...minus Kari.

Jenn, the following pictures are for you....These are the flowers that you got Kelli for graduation and your mom for Mother's Day. Kelli's are the pink ones and your Mom's flowers are the yellow roses.

Mark and Angie's visit

Our friends Mark and Angie from Illinois spent a Sunday with us while they were down in Missouri for vacation. Angie and Keri are about 2 weeks apart in their pregnancy.

Our Newest Nephew: John (JACK) Oliver Breitenstein!

Acxiom Baby Shower

My coworkers put on a baby shower for Keri and I. It was really cool to have all the people that I work with celebrate our little one with us....especially considering that I am only going to be there for about 3 more weeks. They got us a lot of great stuff. We got some clothing, diapers, sippees, a monitor, tub, and diaper trashcan. They were very generous.
