Our Adventure Begins...again

5 years ago today, Mark flew in for the first time-first time to meet and Mark's first time to fly. He stayed from Friday-Tuesday. What a weekend. In the event you don't know the turn out...it was a great success! So good in fact, Mark flew back the following weekend.

While he was here, I wanted to take him to do things he's NEVER done before. We went to the beach and watched the sun rise. We went to Waffle House (he still hasn't recovered), took him to a Mormon church and Monday we went to Orlando to ride roller coasters at Islands of Adventure. If you look close, can see the wall behind us says "The Adventure Begins" and boy were they right!
This is a super cute picture of Mark as a baby. I love this face! He was a little warm, so he went for a swim. That's where you'll probably find me all summer long!

Here I am at 3 months. I was born in August...my parents were getting me all ready to see Santa. Can you tell this picture was taken at K-Mart? Their pictures always changed colors.

Here is Baby Gentle...and if you know us, you know that baby is giving it's first high-five!

Introducing Mark Joseph Gentle, III. Our little man was quite the modest dude today but we did get a little view of his little outdoor plumbing.

Little Marky was face down, so we didn't get a shot of his sam eagle. They are having us come back for a second ultra sound next month to check him out again. Mark and I are SO thrilled to be preparing for a son to join our family. This is certainly where our adventure begins again!

Farts

I love just about any story about farts! It can be a real fart or a brain fart and I'm in heaven. However, I'm not a fan of fake farts...unless made with a machine! Sorry Nathan, your fart noise just doesn't do it for me!

My mom just called, she said "Hey, I'm having a brain fart. What are those things called that you drive up and get money from instead of going to the bank?!"

I get those ALL the time. I also have been known for a real fart at all the WRONG times!

Have you recently had a brain fart? What were you forgetting? Have you ever farted (passed gas, fluffed, pooted- WHATEVER you call it) while playing a game with your husband's friends that you just met? Or anything similar? Please share!

**EDITED PORTION***
My original blog was called "What's for dinner?" And I thought I'd blog about dinner items...but then I quit cooking for a while. Anyhow, Larry & Jessica Chalmers still have me listed as "what's for dinner" on her blog list of friends. So it reads:

Crazy 24 hours

Friday night I rode in the back of my dad's '55 Chevy pick up truck on the tool box holding my sister's changing table/chest from Mandarin over the bridge. If Mark would've known before hand, he would have shot me!

Biggest achievement of the day, I wore a white shirt and didn't get a thing on it!!! But Cassie's puppies did get something on the back of my white shirt...but at least I can't see it and I didn't do it!

Thanks everyone who came to Cassie's shower, it is great to have such supportive friends! We love you. Pictures to come!

In case I didn't mention...5 days til we find out what is baking in my easy bake oven and 12 days until we meet our niece Georgia-Ellee-Abby-Eva-Molly-Maelee-whatever her name will be! :) I'm thrilled she'll be here soon just so I can finally have her name and get something monogrammed!
