Suprise!

No - I'm not pregnant. It's worse (or better, depending on how you look at things) we are moving!!! There are too many details and reasons for things, so if you are really curious you can call me. Also, I will probably not be blogging for about a month. Too many things to do, too little time.

Yep, we are returning to the land of Misty's birth. Wish us luck and keep us in your prayers, we will need all the help from above that we can get. Nothing like starting all over after seven years of marriage. Misty and the girls will be leaving on August 6th and Darin will join us on the 18th or 19th.

4th of July

My mom had her annual 4th of July bash at her house. 4th of July is my mom's favorite holiday. It was really good to see my great-aunt- Claire and her husband Harvey. She is quite the spunky lady, which explains why my Elizabeth Claire is so spunky.

The flag cupcake cake that we made as our contribution to the party.

Swimming with Thomas

One of my kids favorite things to do in Texas is swim with Thomas at night. He was such a good sport and took all three girls for a swim one night. They love for Thomas to throw them up in the air. What a good cousin he is.

Arbuckle Wilderness & Turner Falls

While we were in Texas we took a day to go up to Oklahoma and go to Turner Falls and Arbuckle Wilderness. Man was turner falls busy.

I can't get this picture to turn, sorry.

Elizabeth hated the camels. She screamed in terror the whole time we were in that portion of the zoo.

An Early Brithday Celebration for Abigail

We had a small birthday celebration for Abigail. Abigail's birthday is on July 19th, but Grand Nan and Pa Pa wanted to celebrate early and give her a few gifts. She had a pink cake with pink frosting and helped make the cake herself. She is well loved. Thanks for the clothes and toys.

Thomas was the entertainment for the night. He dressed up in the costume that he wore when he worked at a fast food restaurant in Japan. What a good sport. The girls loved it!

Fort Worth Museum of Science & History

The title sounds a bit boring, but it definitely wasn't boring at all. The Fort Worth Museum of Science & History better known as the Science Place is a children's museum where they are welcome to touch everything. We had a blast with my best friend Jennifer and her husband Babe and their three handsome little boys.

Emily learns about dinosaurs while sitting in a dinosaur print.
The kids really loved the home life play area where they got to do grown up things, like shop at the grocery store and work in a hospital.

Jennifer's little boy Jett, doesn't quite have the hang of shopping like the girls do.

The kids even got to scan their groceries on a self check out station.

All good doctors wash their hands before dealing with their patients.

Emily the Paramedic

I think Emily could have spent hours in the nursery taking care of the babies, she even separated them by ethnic origin.

Traffic was quite bad getting to work each day.

The kids learned all about water in this part of the museum.

Abigail and Sterling

Babe, Jennifer's husband, is really good playing with all of the kids.

Jett, Jennifer's baby. What a cutie!

The kids learned all about things that rotate, like pinwheels and hula hoops.

The kids got to go on a dinosaur dig.
