A little smile...

In all my pregnancies, I have only had ultrasounds around the 20 week mark so the babies have been easy to see but small. Well, this pregnancy, there were some things seen in our 20 week ultrasound that needed to be followed up on. We just recently had another ultrasound of our 28 week baby. There is quite a size difference! And I think the personality is a little more visible. If I could, I would have a constant look into the womb! The day we had our ultrasound, the tech told us she had already been flipped the bird. I was delighted to see that this is what our baby did for her! Isn't this just so miraculous?!

Butt end of the deal

Parenting has a way of paying you back...sometimes, it's for the good things you do. Sometimes its for the things you need to improve on, and sometimes, you just get the "butt" end of the deal.

A whirlwind of a weekend!

I don't even know where to start...probably at the part where my Mary Poppins of a husband (practically perfect in every way) arranged a surprise visit from my sister, Paige on Thursday! He covered it by telling me that his friend from BYU was coming and because he had a late class on Thursday, I would have to pick this friend up. I was ok with this despite the fact that it would take 2 hours of driving with the kids only to pick up this friend and drive the 2 hours back hoping that there would be enough to talk about, not to mention that he's married but his wife wouldn't be there and Brad wouldn't be there and I don't know him that well so...I was just a little unsure of how I felt about the whole situation.

So I get to the airport and Brad only wrote down half of this guys phone number so I couldn't call to see where he was at the airport so we could arrange where to pick him up. Instead, Brad would call me and say, the flight had just arrived and to look for this friend's classmate who might be easier to spot, tall, blond haired girl. After driving through the airport passenger pick-up circle 5 times, I came around and got a call from Brad stating they were standing under the sign that said JetBlue, United Airlines and to look for them there. I was just approaching that sign and I could see the blond girl but for the life of me couldn't see Brad's friend. Then I saw someone who looked kind of like him but then he got into a car 2 lengths ahead of me. It was only the girl and so I was looking at her noticing she was looking at me and I was way confused, especially when she started waving at me and smiling! I still didn't get it! Then it all clicked that this was my sister and not the lame story I was so gullible to believe but a delightful surprise! We had more than enough to talk about and even ended up making a trip to the Round Rock Outlet stores!!

Needless to say, I have the best husband in the world and we had one great of a weekend because Paige was here! I can't say "thank you" enough!!!

We went to this family farm that is fairly close and then went to the Heart of Texas Fair and Rodeo which was so much fun! Here are some photos to document the awesome time!!

Thanks again, Brad and Paige!!!

Happy Halloween!!
