Before we get to the gender reveal, which has been revealed to most, so it's not technically a "reveal" anymore, why don't I update you guys on some Binkley happenings since Shiloh's birthday party. "Post a blog" has been on the to-do list for many weeks now, but fortunately I awakened at 5:30 a.m. this morning up and at 'em, affording me some extra time to blog. Most of the following pictures are from our roadtrip in July to Colorado. We drove JC to a conference in CO and then had a little family vacation with many thanks to the amazing Wooldridge family. They treated us like royalty, which was fitting cause we were basically in a palace in the middle of the forest. Thank you Wooldridge family!!! Now enjoy...

What's a roadtrip without at least one Cracker Barrel stop? |
|
And roadsnacks...JC had an insatiable hunger for "real" ice cream during her USA time |
|
Playing flip the bacon with Auntie JC |
|
Dropping JC off at the airport in Denver |
|
Then my family graciously agreed to go to the Denver Biscuit Company for lunch-everything on a biscuit-just genius. |
|
Then we drove up to Pike's Peak. I am a sucker for cheesy vacation pictures, so this photo op was right up my alley. |
|
It was chilly. |
|
At Agia Sophia-coffee shop recommended by our dear friend Abigail. Best chai EVER-so we went everyday. |
|
Then the Wooldridges made french toast for Sam on his birthday-isn't that so nice?! Pictured here with Sam is the beautiful and talented Annie Wooldridge-we love her!!! |
|
She's just so cute! |
|
One of many times that Shiloh engaged people at our eating establishments. |
|
Olympic Training Center on Sam's birthday-we shed many inspired tears, but that's a Binkley for you. |
|
Learning how to drink from a sippy-took a while...I think we might have shed some tears here too:) |
|
Making phone calls |
|
Maybe the best part of the trip-dead tired, gross hotel, order pizza. Great combo! |
|
When JC got back, she taught Shiloh how to walk. This is where Shiloh took her first step... |
|
But then I guess JC knocked her over... |
|
...cause Shiloh was not happy! |
|
Then Laura Hertzel came to stay with us!!! Laura, I hope you don't mind this picture-but I had to post it -it captures how smitten Shiloh was with Laura during her stay. |
|
Spanish themed baby shower for Laura and Caliden |
|
Caliden and baby Binkley playing together for the first time! |
|
This may look unimportant, BUT it's not! I got hooked on solitaire about 3-4 weeks ago and didn't win even ONCE until this past week and I won 5 TIMES!!! I took a picture of my first 2 wins because it was so monumental! I felt God smiling on me that day:) |
|
Talking with her whale friend at bathtime |
|
She climbed up in her chair all by herself! |
|
Gender Reveal Party-we filled a pinata with BLUE candy to tell everyone we're having a BOY!!! |
|
People wore mustaches if their guess was a boy-and flowers if they thought it was a girl. |
|
Cute Shiloh at the party-all gender reveal photos courtesy of purposephoto.com |

Trustin giving the pinata a whack |
|
Elijah knocking the pinata's head off... |
|
Best picture we got of the blue candy-see it flying in the air?
So...we are proud to announce again, that we are having a boy! Due January 13th. Yay!!! |
