Movie and Dinner with Friends
Lauren and I decided to take the boys for Sonic one evening. Troy was out of town and Chris had 24hr duty. The boys loved it. We ate on the floor and watched a movie! The movie was................are you ready............... the 80's Super Mario Brothers cartoon! I know but they loved it!

A Brief Look into the Future
Last week my dear friend Katie needed someone to watch her daughter, Haven, for 3 days. I volunteered. How back could two kids be? Besides I could use a little test run before this baby arrives. Surprisingly it all went well.
On the first day Liam, Haven and I all went to the store. Yes, I ventured to the store with them both. I kinda had too since I really needed fruit and veggies. Liam helped push the cart while I carried Haven in the ergo carrier......(side note I must get one of these for the next baby. Amazing!!!!) Liam helped so much. He was so concerned with her and if she needed anything. We even made it to playgroup on time. The big bonus was that I managed to get both of them down for a nap at the same time!
The second day, Liam was in school so it made things a wee bit easier. Haven and I met with Tina for some tea and muffins for my birthday. Then Haven and I ran some errands and I did some cleaning. Once I got Liam from school, he took his nap and Haven played for a few minutes before she napped.
On our last day, we spent the day home. Liam played with Haven. He did learn that being to close to the swing can lead to a busted lip. He very much wanted to be my helper. It was so cute to see then playing and enjoying each other. If Haven cried or let out a fuss, Liam was right there to cheer her up!
Liam is going to make a great big brother!

Cowboy Liam
Liam's preschool just finished up their unit on Texas. I loved this unit. Liam learned so much. He told me all about the Alamo, long horn cattle, and bluebonnets. Liam loved to sing deep in the heart of Texas. He can recognize the state of Texas on a map and he knows the colors of the texas flag. They made a super cute book called "Texas, Texas." Liam loves to read it. On the last day of the unit, it was dress like a cowboy day! Liam was so excited to dress like Woody from Toy Story. We couldn't find him boots but Cathy got him a hat and shirt! Love at first site! He loved being a cowboy!
Hat and shirt! I know the hat is big but it was the smallest size they had!
Back of Liam's shirt!
Thanks Cathy for making Cowboy day the best every!

10 weeks and......
These baby pictures are from 10 weeks and 4 days. Our little sprout was being good but was quite the dancer for the ultrasound tech.
I am currently 12 weeks and 4 days. I still have a fair amount of all day and night nausea. Plus I am super tired all the time. Liam does keep me on my toes. I am showing a little bit. Due to the not feeling so great I have not put on any weight. I am hoping the nausea stops soon. I am so over it.
Liam does have some funny things to say about my pregnancy. He tells me at least once a day he has a baby in his belly too. The best was the other morning he told me his tummy hurt because he had a baby during the night. I know. We have tried telling that only mommy's have babies but he doesn't believe us! Silly Boy!
look at those feet!
Dancing baby!
Finally looks like a really baby!
More dancing!

Sprinkler time in February
It is hard to believe that on February 22nd it was warm enough for the sprinkler! Liam really wanted to play outside in the water so we turned on the sprinkler! We invited the Gibbins boys over for some fun too! We all had so much fun!
They loved the water
Running fromt he water
Lachlan didn't really want to get into the water but he did enjoy these sunglasses!
Jonas needed googles therefore so did Liam. This was the best I could do picture wise!
Castle of Pillows
Liam has taken to playing castle on the sofa. He loves to rearrange the cushions and play. I love how his imagination is growing. Everyday is an adventure with him!
Liam in his castle!
To infinity and beyond!!!!! Flying off the castle!
Rodeo
Chris had a day off so we all ventured to the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo! This was Liam first visit to the rodeo! I was so excited to take him! However it was not so great weather wise for us! It was overcast and sprinkling. We made the best of it. One of Liam's favorite parts was the cow peeing in the middle of the street. He told me the cow made sad choices by not peeing in the potty. He makes me laugh! We did get caught in the rain on the way to the car. We were all so wet. Well, at least Chris and I were soaked. Liam had a change of clothes for the car ride home. The rodeo was a success because my little turtle was all tuckered out and fell asleep in the car on the way home.
Liam loved all the tractors and farm equipment!
On the first carousel of the day. I was too busy eating a corn dog to get on this ride!
Liam and Chris on Liam's first roller coaster. Liam did love it!
Our last ride before we left! This was not the best ride for a pregnant lady to ride. I got kinda sick towards the end with all the up and down and round and round! I did love every minute with my Turtle!
