Family, Sweet Family

Lightning and thunderstorms did not prevent the Hall clan from getting to Texas. Amy, Jake, Josh, and Allison landed on Tuesday despite the crazy weather and the fact that they were the only plane permitted to land at that time. We were so very thankful and happy that they were able to get in. Jackson was beyond excited to see his cousins and aunt. His face lit up like it was Christmas!

We had a blast and I ran them into the ground. We enjoyed our time together hanging out at home and in the pool (mostly the spa), seeing a movie, exploring downtown Mckinney, and driving to Oklahoma to visit Arbuckle Wilderness (a drive-thru zoo) and Turner Falls home of the largest waterfall in Oklahoma. We experienced lots of laughter and created some very special memories! We were so thankful and blessed to have them visit. Jackson cried when they left and still asks me where they all went! We are so very very blessed to have such a wonderful and loving family! Enjoy the pics of our exciting Texas adventure!!!

The Fam...Amy, Jacob, Joshua, Allison, Me, and Jackson in front of Turner Falls.


Me and my sweet boy! It was so great to see him so happy and excited with his cousins! He LOVED the water. He would've jumped right in had I let him. No fear this one!

This is what happens when kids are stuck in the car all day. They ran around like wild banchees tying each other to trees and what not. They were hilarious! Jackson was right there with them.


This camel stuck its head all the way in the car to steal food out of the cup holder in the center consol. I wish you could see Amy. She is sitting right under the camel. We were laughing so hard we could hardly breath!


This horse was nibbling the back of Jack's head until he turned around and gave it kisses!


Jackson and the Llama. He LOVED the animals!!!

Holy Holy

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...

The Cup

I walked into the kitchen and spotted a blue solo cup on the counter. The following conversation played out in my head: "Whose cup is this? Which kid took out yet another cup? Didn't I ask them to stop getting a new cup every time they needed a drink? What is wrong with these people? They obviously don't ever listen to me." In the midst of my frustration, I realized the cup was mine. Oopsies. Good thing I didn't speak those words aloud. I went on with my life and my to-do list leaving MY cup right where I found it. I am the grown-up and can leave my cup where ever my grown-up heart desires. I came back into the kitchen a little while later and saw the cup again. I completely forgot the cup was mine so I rehashed the above conversation in my head. I was baffled by who left that cup on the counter. And then I remembered it was me. Again. Y'all, I did this two more times throughout the night. It was like Groundhog's Day but I was the only one celebrat...

Baby on the Floor

Yesterday I was putting a couple of things in the closet for the baby of what is going to be the nursery. Jackson was helping me and asked me where the baby was going to live. I told him where and he was excited since the room is next to his. Later that night Scott and I asked him where the baby was going to sleep and he responded by telling us that the baby was going to sleep in his room. When I asked him where in his room he told me, "on the floor." Scott antagonized him telling him that the baby would not sleep in his room but in the nursery. Jackson got mad at him and yelled over and over again that the baby was sleeping in his room on the floor. Oh my...it starts already!
