A Whole Lot Of Funny

I like to call the first 12 pictures Pictures I Took While Driving:

ok.

I saw this very weird car exiting my exit. The stuff on the body was reflective and then there were those eyes. Creepy!


I saw this person two days in a row. It seems they like horses.

I don't know at what point an astronaut became the symbol for Honda, but I like it.
I love Hondas and I love astronauts.

I've always wanted to go to this place while driving from Ft. Worth to the east.

This place, also on I-30, has always amused me. I don't really get it.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

That's the ARKANSAS headquarters for her campaign.
Pretty lousy and obviously didn't work.

...but feel free to trespass up to this point.

This is just ridiculous.

If all else fails, duct tape the sign to your car.

I like to call the next 9 pictures Pictures I Took While In A Car But The Car Was Not Moving Or Someone Else Was Driving:

Not much. What is up with you?

And then there was another backwards letter.

The UPS drivers wear UPS socks! I so want some of those!

That is a giant dog in a convertible.

When gas gets up to Lowercase D Upside Down Backwards F Eight and Nine Tenths, you know things are getting bad.

Sweet.

I want to meet this kid.

How do you do this to the back of your car?

A van with a map of Dallas on it!

And these last 6 pictures are called Pictures Not At All Related to Driving:

The air conditioning unit at my storage unit looks like a dharma symbol.

This. Is. Awesome.

Found on the back of a... ping pong table. Not a toy!

My favorite answer on this ONLINE poll is number four.

I have never seen this weird thing happen before.

And finally... this is what my shirt looks like after I wash the dog, dry him off, and hold him.

A Few More Baby Pictures

I went back to the hospital today to hang out with the babies some more.

Me with the nieces

She loves her baby sister.

I caught this shot. Not unsimilar to the one I got of Alyssa Kate 2 1/2 years ago.
Seen below.


Then she opened up her dark blue eyes to look out the window.

The babies then visited each other. This was when Sally found out that Candice got a post-delivery steak dinner and she had to have a roast beef sandwich.

Comparing the babies' massive amounts of hair. Caroline wins!

Boyfriend and girlfriend

Me and the mamas and the babies

The parents and their new babies

A Weekend of Babies

Remember how 20 people I know are pregnant? Now it's just 18. Possibly less, since the other two due soon that I know don't live here and I haven't talked to them or seen on their Facebook. :)

Anyway, Friday, my friend Sally had her baby.
Name: Ryder Ray Reynolds.
Arrival: June 13, 7:17pm
Stats: 7 lbs. 8 oz., 21" long

Friday before the big event

A little glimpse into her contractions

Her pretty flowers

The next few are in the NICU where Ryder's hanging out for the next few days. He's doing alright. Just needs a little extra care. I couldn't use a flash, but my camera's pretty awesome, so I still got some great pictures. But that's why they're yellowy.

Mama and baby

Sweetheart with a lot of hair!

Little hand

Little feet

Today my sister-in-law, Candice, blessed me with my second niece.
Name: Caroline Marie Heltz
Arrival: June 15, 8:26pm
Stats: 7 lbs, 5 oz., 20 3/4 in. (very similar to Ryder)

I only got to see Caroline for a few minutes because it was late and they got moved into their post-partum room. I can guarantee there will be more pictures later.

Waiting for baby

Trying to get a family picture while there were still three of them

Having a snack with mommy while waiting for baby sister

Sharing mommy's ice chips

Mimi (Candice and Jon's mom) was finishing up her stitching for the baby while waiting.

Whoa! Black hair!

The new family. Without Alyssa Kate, who had already gone to bed.

This is what happens when you give an old guy your awesome camera to take a picture. I'll try again tomorrow. And Sally came down to see the baby too.

Our amazing Sunday School teachers, who are moving to San Antonio on Thursday, were excited to be able to come by to see the baby.

I love her already.

Little Rock moms: If you like these pictures, I'd love to come to take pictures when your baby comes. It's fun.
