Best Secret Keeper EVER

oh my goodness! Guess what, guess what, guess what!?! I have been waiting FOREVER to tell you this!!! So, I have a small, minor, little secret to tell all of you... First, I would like to say I am a very good secret keeper. If you need to tell someone something but don't want the whole world to know just yet? Have no fear, tell me and and your secret is safe. I have been a little late posting my Father's Day pics but I swear it wasn't my fault. You see, I swore wanted to tell the whole world but was afraid of being disowned I would wait. Am I driving you crazy yet? Are you dying to know this little itty bitty secret? See, I told you I'm good at keeping secrets :) Anyhow............................................................................(that's supposed to be a really long pause) we are adding a new addition to the crew! No, and I repeat NO NOT THE BREWER CREW (clearly I am not sobbing and strangling my hubby in the picture). The addition is to the STARK Crew! Yep, you heard that right Brandon and Kelly are having a B-A-B-Y!!! I am so flippin EXCITED! Can you tell? I have known that this project was in the works but they had a few bumps in the road. We all had to sit patiently on our bums and see how it would all play out. I was told not to tell until they heard the hearbeat at their appointment on the 7th (which was yesterday). So, being the dilligent time keeper that I am not I gave Kelly a call yesterday and got the green light that I could share spill the beans, explode at the seams, shout from the roof tops their very exciting news! You see, some of us have to learn the hard truth that it ain't always so darned easy to get preggers (inspite of what those MTV shows say) when we feel like it. Ya hear me? I've been through it, Kelly went through it and so have many others. If you want some more details you can take a looksey at their blog . I have been dying chill Amber it ain't all about you for them to have a bambino (baby)! I even gave them JT's crib before they got preggers because I was not so patiently waiting for them to have a little bundle of joy. I have a couple of funny stories to tell mostly for Brandon and Kelly but I will let you take a looksey at our pictures so you can have a break from my rambling.

New Dad, Head Dad, and Best Daughter EVER :)

Laura and Grandad with our crazy kiddos! I have to admit I am aweful and did not get a single pic of JB and his kids on Father's Day. Sigh, I know, I know, A-W-E-F-U-L.

This is how we found out!

Funny Stories (If you think my stories are funny. If not, then shush and keep it to yourself.)

1. So this was supposed to be a secret right? Well, once again I will state that I DID keep the secret. Kate Grace is a different story. JennySue ended up being in the hospital for gallbladder surgery (JS-sorry I just told everyone your bizness) on Father's Day. Kate Grace was very concerned for her and wanted to go sing her a song and pray for her. Not kidding. She did both. BTW- She comes up with her own ballads. After that she said and I quote, "And Aunt Kelly has a baby in her tummy." I told her that was a secret and she wasn't supposed to tell but she was a little excited. Sorry Brandon and Kelly. At least the Gleaves' didn't tell.

2. I called my Mom to slyly see if she knew yet. I asked if she had talked to B & K and she said not really all coy like. Then she says, "So their having a baby!" I think we were both trying not to spill the beans to each other but we both already knew teeheehee ;)

3. On Monday Grandma called me. She told me we needed to start planning. I acted like I didn't know what she was talking about. She said, "For this new baby that Brandon and Kelly are having." Whew! I didn't spill the beans on that one either.

4. One day Krystal texted me and asked if it was Kelly's bday. I said nope but was wondering why she asked. She texted me again and asked if it was their anniversary. Then, I started to think that maybe she knew something was up. For some reason Facebook popped into my head and I thought CRAP someone spilled the beans on FB. Then, I remembered that B& K did get married in the summer time because I was ginormously preggers with Kate at their wedding. So I gave Brandon a call and asked if it was their anniversary. Indeed it was! It turns out people were leaving them well wishes on FB and Krystal saw it and was wondering what she was wishing them well for. Whew! I almost spilled the beans on that one.

5. Now to the drama that is Miss Kate Grace. About once a week she will ask me about the little bambino.

Kate-When's it coming out of her tummy? Is it a boy or a girl? Where's it going to live? At our house right?! insert sound of squeeling brakes here

Me-Whoa whoa WHOA! Hold up little missy. Let me explain something to you. That baby is in Kelly's tummy and when it comes out it is going to their house. I repeat THEIR HOUSE NOT OURS.

Kate-But I want it to live at our house like JT did.

Me-First of all JT came out of Mommy's tummy. Second of all, why on earth would you want that? You DID NOT like him when he came to our house. In fact, he was 9m old when you acknowledged his existence.

Kate-Well then are you gonna have another baby in your tummy that we can bring home insert the sound of 1000 squeeling brakes here?

Me-Umm negative, nope, not gonna happen. You have a baby to play with Kate.

Kate-But Mom, he's a big baby and he hits me and bites me.

Me-Sorry for your tough luck hunny.

And FINALLY since you are all tired of listening to me I want to give a little shout out to Kelly. You see, Brandon is the last STARK. EEK! Poor Kelly. No pressure or anything. I too had that oh so fun pressure from my hubby that he WOULD be having a boy and he didn't care if that meant 4 kids. Let me tell you folks that I was so glad we had Kate Grace first. If I had JT first, one of us would have been getting fixed permanently (not that we don't just adore him). So either way boy or girl, pink, blue, green or yellow we can't wait to see this little one! Really there is no pressure because God will give you the baby you are meant to have. And if the rest of you folks know me you know I am C-R-A-Z-Y especially when it comes to party planning. I've got the whole baby shower planned. Yes-REALLY. I am NOT kidding folks. Gender neutral with sweets galore. Getting the picture? Not really? Well then I guess you will have to come and see:)

And that will be all for the Amber show today.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
