Chris's Birthday Party

Saturday evening, we celebrated Chris's birthday with the Fam (or at least the ones in town ;) ). We had tons of great food ~Hot Dogs & Brats, fruit salad, veggie tray~Yum-O!! And of course a cake made by yours truly ;)
What a great birthday he had!!

Allen Train Station

Yesterday, we went to the Allen Train Station to see their miniature train displays. The kids were totally enthralled!! Ben LOVED looking at all of the trains and asking questions to the guides that were there. He loved seeing how the tracks were set up and if the trains could move on different parts of the track. He even got to help put the caboose back on the big train. Emma loved looking at the trains and they also had little doll houses that she thought were SO cute! She also got a big kick out of ringing the GIANT bell there!!
Ben told the man that was helping us that he wanted to work there when he grew up. The man said well it's not really a job, it's a club you can join and he gave Ben an application to fill out when he's "older" to join the train club. I think we may have a future engineer on our hands!!
What a GREAT time we had!!

Fun at the Park

Sunday, we went to a MOMS Club Picnic at this great park we had never been to. There was a great play structure and a huge field ~Which of course made Ben happy since he wanted Daddy to help him fly his Kite!! I think Chris will now be known as the Kite Man~All the kiddos kept following him around and chasing after the kite. Miss Emma was super happy there were swings! What fun we all had!!

Belly Pic~Finally! ;)

My awesome hubby got us a brand-new digital camera Friday night (since our other one is out of commission). I'm now 25 weeks and Peanut is growing like crazy, and movin' like crazy!

So without further ado, the long-awaited Belly pic:

The NEW Blog

Howdy All,
We are officially back in Blogland. We have had some rough times with Technology around here lately. Our digital camera stopped working, then our Hard Drive decided to crash. After getting that fixed, I could no longer sign into my old blog for some strange and unknown reason, so we're having to start a new one.....

Welcome to Two and a Half Monkeys!!!
