July 2010!

Happy 4th of July! Jenny and I went to the 4th on Broadway and watched the parade and walked around a bit! Justin worked a food booth with some friends.

 Our flag cake, yes there are 50 blueberries!! I made homemade ice cream too so at out get together none of the cake got eaten, but I must say it was delicious!!! (Probably because I used a whole can of icing!)

 Rene got to be here two weekends in a row because she went with her mom to Ruidoso. It worked out perfect that she could be here one weekend for her aunt and uncle's 60th wedding anniversary party and the next weekend for Early Settler's Day!

 Jenny playing at the park--we went in the morning, but it got hot pretty quick so we didn't get to stay long. At 10:00 the slides were already too hot!

 After a wonderful family get together in Hillsboro for a wedding, we went to the Dallas Aquarium! It was really neat, and a perfect thing to do indoors on such a hot July day! Mom and Dad stopped by with us on their way home from the wedding too! Fun day!!!

 29 weeks pregnant with baby boy, who still only has a middle & last name. ______ James Sullivan. Time will tell, and hopefully the perfect name will come to us!

 After the aquarium we went and stayed with my cousin and her family--so great to catch up. The next day we took in the Grapevine Mills Mall--another super great thing to do on such a hot day!! Justin rode the carousel with Jenny while I took pictures and enjoyed a tasty fruit smoothie!

 Jenny rode a train.

 We went into Rainforest Cafe and Jenny made a build a bear, but not a bear--an elephant that she named Ellie the Elephant! I think Justin had just as much fun as Jenny! :)

 Since we were right there we stopped by the Bass Pro Shop and Jenny took her picture with the "died" bear. That night when I asked her what her favorite thing was from today, she said sitting on the "died" bear--of all things, I was sure it would be the train or making Ellie or something besides sitting on a bear! :) :)

 That night we stayed with some friends in Weatherford and caught up with them!! The next day we headed part of the way home and stayed at Possum Kingdom--my favorite lake!!! Jenny and I both learned to drive the boat. The water was smooth and there were very few boats out so it was a perfect time to learn.

 We got home and did a few things around the house and then headed back out to White River Lake with Keith and Robin. It's so nice to be able to run out there for just the day and swim and cut up a bit and then head home. Jenny's really loving the water more and more as the summer goes on!

 Jenny got a feather in her hair--lime green! She thinks it's pretty cool.

 Jenny was in her first parade at Idalou's Centennial Celebration! We had fun riding on the float in the parade and going to several of the weekend's activities--it's was a super busy, but super fun weekend!!!

Back in the saddle again...

It has been a long time since I've posted. Baby boy is expected to arrive in late September/early October. He made me very, very sick in the first trimester so most things in life were put on hold including the blog. I considered catching-up, but decided to just start from more recently.

This is Jenny at preschool on Western Day. She is really starting to like horses!

 Poppy and Grammy surprised us one weekend. We had a great visit!

 Jenny had a program at school this month. Her department was trains in the transportation themed program. We have been singing "Dinah, won't you blow..." and "Common baby do the locomotion" for months. She's still singing even though the program was over a week ago. :)

 Jenny on the last day of school with her wonderful teachers: Melissa, Lora, and Kaydie!! They will forever be her first teachers!!! We had water day so the kids got to wear their swim suits! Fun times!!

 Jenny in the sandbox with our sweet Roger!

 Roger also goes on four wheeler rides with Daddy and Jenny! I think he liked it!!

 Jenny riding Pete with Mr. Larry. We had a wonderful evening cooking out, visiting, and riding!!



Jenny's New Playmate!

Megan started coming to our house this past Monday. She is going to school with us and gymnastics too! We had a super fun first week! Jenny is worn out every night but is having a blast!! I think it's been pretty neat-o too!

Poor girls had to wait in the car with Justin while I went to the dentist. They never even knew he was there because they slept the whole time. Gymnastics wore them out!

Jenny practicing some more "nastics" off of her stool. She wants to flip off of any and everything!

Half Time Show at the High School

Jenny performed at the half time show in Levelland with her Acrospirits group! I couldn't tell before if she was getting sick or extremely anxious! Turns out it was a little of both. There were four groups going at the same time. Her group did bunny hops first and she bunny hopped right on over to the next line instead of staying in her line--it was cute! Then she bear walked, butterfly rolled, and galloped with the other group. She was great and very entertaining!!

Happy 2011!

We woke up on New Year's Eve at Earth at Granddad & Memaw's so we got to wish them an early Happy New Year! We took down the Christmas things and made Chocolate Eclair for our evening festivities! Granddad went to the bank and got Jenny some popcorn-one of her favorite snacks!! Then we went to Levelland for lunch at James and Glenda's and then to Mark and Anna's to see the new year in!

Happy 2011! Megan came down on New Year's Day and the girls played!! They went outside for a while, but it was pretty chilly so they came back in to defrost. The fire was nice and toasty! Way to go Red Raiders, winning the inaugural TicketCity Bowl!!

On the 3rd we went to the Bozeman's for Chicken Enchilada Soup and Shrimp Tacos--D-lish!! There were twelve kids there--they had a blast!! Dad and Mom got Jenny this hat for Christmas--I think it's pretty cool, and of course cute too-so is the little lady! :)
