with Big Sister, Presley!

Dallas Zoo

A few weeks back, we made a trip to the Dallas Zoo. Presley loves looking at the animals and we were searching for the Rhino and the Giraffes in particular.


Dancing on our way to the next exhibit. Sometimes the rhythm just gets ya...

She could stand and watch these guys all day. Her big observation, though, is usually about them being "a little stinky".

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to Everyone!

This Easter, We got all fancy and went to church,


... took time to smell the tulips


...took pictures with our best friends, (Notice Riley leaning as far as possible)


...enjoyed our Easter baskets,


...hunted for Easter eggs,


...counted up our winnings,


...painted Easter eggs,

...very carefully!

...and learned that we love Silly String! (as long as it's pointed the other direction)

SuperCool!

This is what we call "SUPERCOOL" in our house. And I don't think any of you could argue with that. : )

First Night in Presley's Big Girl Room!

We moved Presley into the room next door from where she has been for the last two years. We painted (I say "we", but I'm not doing much of anything at 34 weeks pregnant) the room pink and moved her things. I'll have to post some more pictures when we have it completed, but I did want to note the momentous occasion. : ) She seems to be doing fine. Very excited about her new pink room!

Ft. Worth Children's Museum

We were supposed to be going to the zoo, but since it was POURING down rain, we took a visit to the (indoor) Ft. Worth Children's Museum.

One of Presley's favorite things was the ambulance that you could "drive". I feel certain she could have sat there for most of the day.

The other exciting part was getting to go grocery shopping.

Picking out all the food...

And then checking it out and paying for it , too!

We were wandering around the museum and walked into a little area where they were about to start a 3D movie. They said it was only 7 minutes long so we thought we'd give it a shot. Little did we know that it was one of those movies where your seat moves backwards and side to side to get the feeling of really being in the movie. They spray you with cold air every once in a while... Presley really wasn't too happy about all of that. And when they sprayed us with a mist of cold water she had finally had it. I think we lasted about a minute and a half. That ought to keep her away from t.v. and movies for a while. : )
