MOPS Harvest Festival

I joined MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) this year and am so happy I did. I love going to the meetings and the other mommies are absolutely wonderful! It's so nice to hang out with other moms going through the same stuff you are while hearing God's Word.
Anyway, last night we had our annual Harvest Festival. Jacson had an ABSOLUTE BLAST! It was so fun to experience a holiday event with him this year since he gets it now and reacts in such a fun way! However, the night didn't start off perfect...We had to wake Jack up from his nap to go and he was crying the whole way there saying, "I don't want to have fun." But all this changed when we pulled up and he saw what lay before him: bounce houses, games, a train, food, and trunk-or-treat. His eyes grew wide and his face lit up. I'd have to say that he had fun after all:) Enjoy the pics!

The Fish Fam in our trunk. We participated in the trun-or-treat. This was my first time decorating my trunk and I didn't have a clue what to do. Now, after experiencing and seeing what other people did I can't wait until next year to go all out!


Army Soldier Jackson and Bumble Bee Macy. Isn't she the cutest little bee ever!


Jackson sitting in the back of the sub. He LOVED that our trunk was decorated!




Mmmmmmmm...yummo! Nothing tastes better than sausage-on-a-stick!


This is Jackson and Jackson. "Big" Jackson was so sweet and wanted to hold "little" Jackson's hand while they waited on the curb for the choo choo to arrive.


Jackson checking out "Spidey." He went through a major spiderman phase so this was like a dream come true! If you ask Jack about his train ride he will tell you all about how he sat next to Spidey.

Oh what fun! I bet it's a fun time now that Jackson shows emotion to fun things! And, your trunk wasn't already "all out"? What kinds of trunks were there if yours wasn't decorated enough? I thought it looked great!

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. ...

A Welcome Blessing in a Surprise

"For you created me in my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:13-14 A few weeks ago Scott and I got the surprise of our lives! I was home with the kids. Jack was napping while Grady and I were snuggling while I was feeding him his bottle. I had a strange feeling that something was up. I decided to take a pregnancy test not thinking the answer would be anything but negative. As the hour glass blinked on the screen, I continued to play with my baby. Then, the words appeared..."pregnant." What? No way! I think I had to look at the test a million times before I really believed what I was reading. How was this possible? I was holding my 4 month old for goodness sakes! I laughed out loud right then and there and praised God for His humor and His blessing. Scott didn't get home until late that night. I wrote, "Oops! We did it agai...

Tuesday Toddler Tales~A Mother's Worst Nightmare

I lost Jack. Don't worry, he has been found but for the longest I'd say 8 minutes of my life he was gone. I was at the mall with two girlfriends and their kiddos. We were all having lunch at the food court when I stepped away to get some ketchup. Jack stayed behind with his friends. I was gone for maybe a minute and a half or so. When I came back he was gone. His chair was pushed in and empty. I began to panic. One friend stayed behind with all the other kids while my other friend and I darted off in oposite directions. Others began to notice our panic and jumped in the search with us. I saw nothing in my direction, not even shoppers. I turned around and started the other way. I got to the carousel where I thought he'd be and he wasn't. At this point it took everything in my power not to faint. I felt like everything around me was spinning. I was so overwhelmed with where to look. I just kept running, frantically asking people if they saw a little blond-haired boy with ...
