We're having a ........



GIRL!!!! Can you believe it? I wanted a boy so Preston could have a play mate but Callie was right. She has been telling me we're having a girl. Callie was so excited when I got home. I am excited, I just feel bad Preston is going to be stuck between two girls. Maybe the next one will be a boy. We'll have to buy him lots of trucks, cars, and other manly things. The pictures aren't very good because it is a picture of a picture. I don't know if you can see the arrow pointing, showing it's a girl. And the holding the bladder part during the sonogram was terrible. I had to go at 3:30 and had another hour to go. I got to the front desk and told the lady I couldn't hold it any longer. She told me I could empty a little. Well let me tell you that was very difficult. Then the lady called me back farely soon and she started taking measurements and said I need you to go to the bathroom. She said,"Your bladder is so full I can't see the baby". No kidding. I felt so much better. They told me you have to have a full bladder to measure the cervix. I think it is ridiculous to make a pregnant woman drink that much and then make her hold it. Anyways it is over and I will live.

Our babies sonogram today at 4:30!

Today is my sonogram appointment to find out what were having. I was excited until I remembered they are making me drink 32 oz. of water one hour before my appointment. The bad news is I can't urinate. How terrible is that. They are going to be pushing on my stomach the whole time and how miserable is that going to be. I never had to do that in Texas. They said they need a full bladder to be able to see everything well. I will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck.

Our soon to be little football player!

Preston came to really like playing football in Indiana. He would tackle his cousin, Clay to get the ball back. It was so funny to watch. He even has the look of a football player with the helmet on. So cute.

Football game!

The last night we were in Indiana we went to my nephew, Jackson's, football game. Jackson played so well and their team won. Here is my niece Madelyn with her brothers sweaty uniform on. We were all like gross, don't put that on. But she looked so cute in it. Preson and his cousin Clay chillin in their lawn chairs. They kept fighting over the football. Callie and Madelyn had fun just running around during the game and being our little cheerleaders.




Holiday World Continued!

Preston, Daddy and Callie on the merry go round. I love Preston's smile. He had so much fun that after we went to the water park, he crashed in this red wagon for 2 hours. He was so worn out from all the fun.

More fun at Holiday World

Callie, Preston, and cousin Baylee riding a water ride. Preston decided to dip his fingers in the water and then licked them. Callie and Preston driving cars. They enjoyed that. And who knew the Alamo was in Kentucky.



Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana

Preston and Callie's first ride at the park. Preston loved it. He was smiling from ear to ear.



On Saturday we went to this water park/amusement park called Holiday World. It really is in a city called Santa Claus. The park has different areas like Christmas where they play Christmas music, Halloween area and so on. We first did all the amusement park rides and then we did the water park. The kids had so much fun. Preston is very daring; he takes after me and Callie is like Taylor. He wanted to ride everything. He was sad when we waited in line for a ride and then found out he was to small to ride.

Louisville slugger museum



Here is our family photo in front of the huge bat. Not a great picture of me. Here is one of my sister Britney and her cute family.

Lousiville Slugger Museum/Louisville, Kentucky

We went to the Louisville Slugger Museum with my parents, and my sister Britney, and her family. We went on a tour of the musuem to see how bats are made. It takes 40,000 trees to make enough bats for one day. That is a lot of trees. They have contracts with many famous baseball athletes they make bats for. It was cool to here about how different each athlete wants there bat made. There was an area for the kids to play baseball and a huge marble glove to climb on. They really liked it. Everyone also gets a free bat to take home. They are smaller size though. There is a huge bat in front of the musuem. We took pictures in front of it. I'll put it in a different post.




Apple Works continued





Our trip to Indiana/Day 1






We got to Indina late Wednesday night. The next day we went to this cute place called Apple works with my parents and my sister Heather and her family. It had animals you could feed and a tractor the kids could play on and a cool slide. We ate lunch under this beautiful pavillion and the landscaping was really nice. The weather was perfect.

Visiting cousins in the DFW airport



We flew threw Dallas/Fort Worth on September 2nd and flew onto Indianapolis. We had a two hour lay over so Taylor's sister Carrie came with her 3 kids and his parents and they brought us yummy Taco Bueno. It was fun to see everybody. Here are some pictures of Tyler, Mikayla and Callie playing in the airport. They were excited to see each other.
