Big Brother

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

Yup, that's right...Jackson is going to be a BIG brother! We are so excited to be adding another little one to our family come November. Jackson can't wait for the new baby to get here! He talks about the baby but we aren't sure he quite understands what it all means yet. He just knows that we are excited and he loves to say that he's going to be a big brother. So cute!

Jackson got a new lawn mower the other day and he couldn't wait to get out there and help Daddy mow the lawn.

The Leinbach's Visit

Tuesday, May 12, 2009

My family just returned home from a week visit out here to Texas (sniff, sniff). We had a such a fun time with them and we miss them already! Here's a short recap of what we did.

We spent a day at Sea World! I was a little nervous about taking Jackson for the first time but he did great and he absolutely loved it. He wasn't quite sure what to think of Shamu (see pic below) but he was in awe of the real whales and dolphins. Although it was a very HOT day for it only being May, we enjoyed the small crowds and took advantage of no lines for the rides. I think we rode most of the rides twice!

Derek brought his RC truck along with him so he could take it to the NControl race track. Jackson loves watching the RC cars. Derek did great in his very first race!

On Saturday we participated in the March of Dimes, March for Babies 5K walk again this year. It was great to have family here that could walk with us to remember our sweet Macie and to raise money to help other families affected by prematurity. Thanks Meggie and Derek for walking with us and to our family and friends who donated. We really appreciate it!

Nana and Papa Gardner Visit

I'm finally getting around to posting about our most recent visitors to Texas. A few weeks ago we had Jordan's parents out. As always with Nana and Papa we go to town with projects! This time Jordan and his dad worked in the backyard replacing our small deck and cleaning out our spa. We are so excited to start using it again!

On Friday night we hit Mighty Fine Burger's (a new favorite of Nana's) and a Round Rock Express baseball game.  What a fun night!

Saturday was spent doing another project....canning FOOD STORAGE! Thanks to Nana and Papa we added lots of good stuff to our small (but growing) supply of food. We had a wonderful weekend and can't wait for the next visit!
