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. ...

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!
