Here is some news that not everyone has known yet and we thought it was time to share with the rest of our family and friends....The Wheeler family is expecting another bundle of joy next year. I am nearly 16 weeks pregnant and we are due in February of 2007! We are very excited and looking forward to the new addition. We promise to keep everyone posted so that you are in the loop! Thought you guys would like to know our exciting news!!!

Fun in the sun. You can't beat it!

Zach is obviously ready for his close up!

She has learned how to stick out her tongue!

I can hardly believe that summer is over. Zach just returned from his summer trip to NY. We are really glad that he is home. We sure missed him! So as these last lazy days of summer go by we had some fun in the backyard! Check it out!

Another big event in July was Avery's 1st birthday on the 25th. We had a small pool party of neighborhood friends and I am pretty sure that she had a blast! Everyone was so generous and gave her the cutest gifts. She got some books, a little people set, a care bear phone, a puzzle, a new baby doll and some adorable outfits. I know for a fact that she loved her cupcakes! It is hard to believe that she has already been with us for a year! It has been wonderful and we cherish every day!

Doesn't he look great!

After we returned from our Idaho vacation I headed out again but this time to Fort Knox, KY to see my brother Josiah graduate from his ROTC Leadership Training camp. My mom came down too and we were both so proud of him. He suddenly seems so much more grown up. Now that he has contracted with the military he will finish school...2 more years and then he will be required to serve for 3 years. I was great to see him again and always nice to see my mom too. She enjoyed seeing Avery since it had been almost 4 months since the last time she had seen her.
