Double the fun
Here are some fun coincidences with my lil' sister's birthday. She was born on September 21st. Because of this she has a super special birthday buddy. Her and my cousin, Colton, share the same birthday. Lots of fun to come in the future. Double the fun for September 21st ~yea! It's sure to be a big bash every year. I was able to catch my cousin's reactions as he heard the news.


Another fun coincidence is that our good friends the Ediger family, Jason, Kathy, Alexus and Preston, were also expecting a baby boy almost 1 week after my mom was due with Reesing. Also note that we are good friends and things tend to happen at the same time to both families. My mom and Kathy lived together as roommates for a couple years. My dad and Jason worked together at the same company for some time. My friend Preston and I are 1 month apart and now our siblings were due 1 week apart. Well, Preston's mom ended up having her baby on the Saturday before my mom was induced. So, we were all in the hospital together at the same time. It was like one big party. The dads were able to go from room to room. The moms were able to prank call each other (just joking). It was really neat that it worked out like that and has made for another fun memory for both families.
The Ediger family welcomed Mr. Thomas Ediger to the world on September 19th at 9:58 p.m. He weighed in at 7 lb. 11 oz. and was 20 1/4" long.

"Now let me get this right...you want me to share my birthday with her?"
"Hmmmmm....Let me think about it."

Drum roll please....
I'd like to introduce to the world the newest team member of Team Manning, my baby sister Reesing Renee Urish! She was born on September 21, 2009 at 1:21 p.m. She weighed in at 7 lb. 15 oz. and measured 20 1/2" long. Lucky for us she came out as a huge Jayhawk fan and that has made for an easy adjustment into this family. I'm a very proud big brother and love hanging out with my sister.

Knocked it outta the park!
Whenever my dad works on a project he always puts a 110% into whatever he's working on. There is no such thing as doing something the lazy way with my dad. You can always tell when dad's happy with his work when he states "I think it looks good, what do you think?" That's when he's proud of his accomplishment, but doesn't want to brag, so he is hoping for positive feedback. When he's completed the project and has completely out done himself then you'll hear him say, "Well, I just knocked that one outta the park." This is because he knows he's done a great job and is so proud of what he's accomplished. If you know my dad he's a hard worker and is very creative. So, for my sissy's room, Dad came up with the theme and put it into action. Pictures are below and I think you will all agree with me when I say, "My dad knocked this one outta the park." For those of you that don't know yet, my sissy's first name is going to be Reesing (middle name still to be determined). Check out the pictures and let us know what you think.
Same wall after adding the Jayhawk. I don't think Reesing is going to have a choice in whether or not she's a Jayhawk fan. From the early start my sister will have her big Jayhawk friend looking over her. Hopefully she won't think the large bird is trying to eat her!

We're working on the closet next. Mom actually mapped out the design of the closet for dad and he's going to put the plan into action. That's on the agenda for later this week.

Two walls after first coat of pink.
Reesing already claiming her space.
Dad installed a new fan and light today, so we've got the closet left to go and we'll have it done. Then mom can begin filling it with lots of pink clothes! Yea! The countdown begins ~ 27 more days until sissy's due date.

Visit to the fair
The Douglas County Fair took place a few weeks ago. My mom, dad and I made a trip out there one evening and had a great time.
My favorite part was the tractor pull. The "man" thing to check out while at the fair. It was fun watching all the big tractors. 
I had crawled up to the top of the bleachers to check out the tractor pull and realized that I was sitting next to a big toothless redneck who was "very" into the tractor pull. I couldn't quite figure him out. He was a very interesting man.
Dad and I got to look at some of the tractors up close. This Moline was one of my favorites.

On to the cows...another big highlight of mine. We all found it humorous that the sign to the old ball field where a lot of the cows were kept stated "Animals prohibited on field."
We first met this cow. He was a very nice cow and I was very interesting in getting to know him a little better.
Then we went into the cow barn to check out the only cows we knew on a personal level, and also our favorites, the cows from Neis Farms.
As you can see, Tracy's cow is named "Milky Way" and Brett's is named "Bud".
