I want to wish a Happy Birthday to my mother in law Mindy! Thanks for being a great mom to all of us Mindy, and a great Mimi to Luke! We celebrated Mindy's birthday by heading to Oktoberfest at the German restaurant in Gibson City. It was a lot of fun, and Luke really enjoyed the German music that the group there played! We headed back to the Oakley's for cake and ice cream! We hope you had a great birthday Mindy! We love you!
Sock roses I made for a centerpieceI want to wish a very happy belated birthday (September 3rd) to my big sister Rebecca! The only family member with a birthday not within a month before or after Christmas! haha. I hope you had a very special day. This year we were actually able to celebrate Becky's birthday with her a few days early! Her and her husband Richard were on their way out to Colorado for vacation and stopped by my parents house on August 27th for dinner, cake, and presents! It was so nice to see her since I hadn't since last November! My mom took some pictures so maybe when my parents get back from Montana I will get some from her and post them! I love you Becky, you are a great sister, and friend to me!
Love,
Kimmy
We are having a baby girl! Of course Rob and Luke told me it was a girl all along, but for some reason I thought it was a boy! We are very excited to welcome a little girl to our family!! The funniest part is Luke has been telling me that the baby's name is Julia the whole pregnancy, I don't think we are going with that name, but if we did it would be funny to tell her that her big brother named her someday. He got the name from an Elmo DVD he always watches that Julia Roberts is in! haha.
Tomorrow is the day we find out if the baby is a boy or girl! Hopefully that can of soda I drink before hand will have the baby showing off for us! We are going to bring Luke, and after we find out the sex we will take Luke to go pick out a new outfit for the baby! I'm excited to find out, although I really don't mind either way what the baby is, a boy would be great fun for Luke since he would have a little bro to go through life with, and it would save money! A little girl would be awesome as well to have, and experience having a girl, Luke could look out for her growing up! Well hopefully they will be able to tell the gender, and I will let everyone know!

p.s. Rob's guess Girl, Kimmy's guess Boy!
Grandma Kay- Guesses Boy / Aunt Melissa, Grandpa Steve, Grandma Mindy, most of my co-workers, guess girl!
All others have no idea! haha
Luke finally got a big boy bed! A couple of Saturday's ago we went to the sale at Lebeda and purchased Luke a new big boy bed! He is so excited, because now he is just like his cousin Coco! We took him to Walmart to pick out his sheets and comforter and he picked out a Handy Manny bed set! He was so excited! He napped in it right away and two nights later he slept all night, now he has been sleeping every night in his big boy bed! He loves his bed, and now that he is potty trained and out of his crib, he is all set to become a big brother! Here are some pics of him enjoying his new bed!
Just wanted to post an entry about some of the stuff going on here lately. I had a Dr.'s apt on Thursday where they told me that I will come back on September 1st to have my ultrasound to find out if Baby Oakley is a boy or a girl! I can't wait to find out! I thought it might be fun if I had a poll on here for people to guess what they think it is! Yesterday we finally took Luke to the Children's Discovery Museum! He loved it so much he didn't want to leave! It was a nice activity to do while it was so hot outside! We are not much for hot weather in this family! Of course I forgot to bring my camera to the museum! Hopefully I will have photos to post next time!
