Enjoying the Spring-like Weather

Today turned out to be such a beautiful day that we decided to enjoy some time outside. The boys rode their bikes and played at the park, we enjoyed some ice cream at Baskin Robbins and then the day ended with a game of t-ball in our front yard. Here are some of the highlights:


And we'll leave you with one last image...we're kind of afraid that Joshua's going to end up becoming a Chippendale dancer when he gets older. What do you think? Here he is in his cowboy hat, underwear, his shin guards from soccer and some blue toy stuck in his underwear that's supposed to be a sword. He loves dancing around in his underwear and his cowboy hat. Should we be worried?

It's a Girl!

We had our doctor's appointment and quick sonogram today. I'm now 17 weeks and everything is going great. Ellison, our sonogram tech was nice enough to offer a quick check of the sex this time since the last sonogram was so hard to tell. While he gave us an "educated guess" at 12 weeks, he knew since we have two boys already that we'd really like to know for sure. One quick look and he confirmed "It's a Girl!" YAY! God surprised with this special blessing, and He gave us a girl. We could not be happier! She's starting to move and kick more and more, especially when I eat Mexican food - a Guajardo favorite, of course! My belly is growing so fast. I know they say you get bigger earlier with your second pregnancy, but this is crazy! With twins I didn't show until at least 5 months...here I am 4 months along with one baby and I look at least 6 months! Now, we just need a name...

Fishing at Brushy Creek Lake Park

Well, we obviously have much to catch-up on since our last post was before Christmas. But instead, I'm just gonna jump right in and pick-up with today. The last two days have been gorgeous. 70s in January...you can't get much better than that! So, we decided to take advantage and spend the weekend at the park. We decided to take the boys fishing today after church. We haven't been since the summer and they've been begging to go. The weather was beautiful, so we loaded up the poles, the gear and some folding chairs and headed to Brushy Creek Lake Park. We actually caught two fish while we were there. We got a picture of one...the teeny, tiny one down at the bottom. The other one, we unfortunately forgot to take a picture of...Nathan let it go before I got a chance to get my camera. The other one was bigger...really.

Ahhh...this nice weather has us longing for spring and daylight savings time when we can spend more time with the boys outdoors. Can't wait!
