ROOOOAR!

Scott, Jackson, and I had an extremely fun family day on Saturday. We started the day by going to The Heard Museum of Natural Science in McKinney. The museum has a walking trail and along that trail they put life-size dinosaurs that move and make noise. It was so cool (I thought of you and the kids, Amy)! Jack was very excited to see the dinosaurs on our drive there. He has a dino book and loves reading about the amazing creatures. However, once we got up close and personal he was a little unsure. He was okay as long as Scott was holding him and as we walked away from each one. It was funny to see and hear all the parents tell there weary toddlers to just go up to the giant roaring animals even though you are terrified. Of course Jackson can't stop talking about the dinosaurs and wants to go back. We just may. It was a blast. At the end of the day we ate pizza and watched Madagascar in our media room. So much fun!!!!

This was the only dinosaur Jack would touch.

This is what Jack did most of the time...sit on daddy's shoulders!

Yeah! Finally a pic by T-Rex!





The trail we walked along...very pretyy!

The land surrounding the trail.

These signs were all along the trail. They warned us to watch out for poison ivy and copperhead snakes! Nice! Thankfully we didn't see either!

Uh, I'd be a bit afraid of the dionosaurs, too, I think. They are huge! Looks like you guys had a blast! Jackson is getting so big!

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!
