Rough Riders!

I was going to wait to blog this til I had my pictures, but guess I will add one or two later! Last Friday, Mark and I went to the Frisco Rough Riders baseball game. They are a minor league team with a stadium just a few miles away from us. It was a fun night. Mark splurged on some great tickets and I had a foot long hot dog that hit the spot. :) Unfortunately, they lost to Corpus Christi, but we enjoyed it and will definitely go back sometime! There were even fireworks at the end of the game... and it is a very nice stadium!

Also, we are looking forward to a hockey team coming even closer to us. We live about 3 mins from an outlet mall and Hwy 75 and just across from 75 on the other side of the outlet mall, they are currently building another mall. Somewhere in the midst of that, there is going to be a hockey arena! So, we will definitely have fun making our way to some of those games when the arena is built!

Enhance your Vocabulary & Help Others!

My Aunt sent me this website recently and I thought it was a great one! She said it was featured on CBS - It's called http://www.freerice.com/ and every time you get the answer correct for a vocabulary word, it donates 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. Yesterday, I donated 1000 grains of rice... I won't tell how many answers I got incorrect. :D

It's Already Coming Back to Me

I used to tease my parents about renting a movie they'd already seen or not knowing if they'd seen a movie... Well, I have to confess I've done that more than once recently with my Netflix... I've gotten a movie in and then realized I've already seen it! Guess that's what I get! :) I choose to blame Netflix, though... cause we cancelled our membership for awhile in hopes that they would invite us back for a discount. They didn't, so we finally broke down and reapplied for it in Mark's name, so our queue was gone and list of movies we had seen... oh well! :)

Anna Gets More Cute Stuff!

Today was the shower for Anna thrown by my Sunday school class in Dallas. It was very sweet! Here's my mom and I by the food/punch table. It was fun chocolate fondue and lots of things to dip in the fondue. There were three flavors of chocolate - milk chocolate, peanut butter chocolate and white chocolate!

Here's my little helper that brought my gifts to me - isn't she cute? Before we started gifts, there were little prayer cards passed out to about 7 folks and each card had a stage of Anna's life to pray for. It was very sweet and made me cry. The stages were like - her birth, her childhood, teen years, future husband, etc.

Here's me with the dust ruffle Mom made. Anna's crib is nearly ready! She also got lots of cute clothes and all sorts of other fun items at the shower today!

The Gang's Almost All Here!

After I got some advice from my interior designer friend, I hung up my shelves today. And most of the Beatrix Potter gang I ordered on ebay has arrived. Peter Rabbit, Benjamin Bunny, Jemima Puddleduck, Hunca Munca, and Flopsy, Mopsy & Cottontail are all in place. We're still waiting on Tom Kitten. :)I also got some frames 50% off at Hobby Lobby today and put these prints in and hung them up. They are fairly straight. :)

Silly Ice Cream Man

So, apparently we have an Ice Cream Truck that comes through our neighborhood... but I don' t think the Ice Cream Man is very smart. He whizzed past our house so fast last time that Mark barely saw the truck. And today, I know that is what I heard, but never saw it. He obviously doesn't know that there is a pregnant lady who loves ice cream at this house!!

Having a Little Thumb Suck

Today we had an ultrasound and Anna is doing good! She was very active and here is a shot of her sucking her little thumb. :)

Aggie Weekend Update!

We had a lovely weekend visiting with the girls and their parents! Here's Melissa, Tami, Stana, me & Jen at Tami's parents' ranch in Caldwell. It was a beautiful location for our get-together! And here's a nice side profile of the pregnant ones... Stana, Melissa and me.

And the sweet little star of the weekend, Drew... he's my friend Jen's little boy! He's about 7 months old and will be the older, wiser one when his three new little friends come along this summer :)

Aggie Weekend!

I am excited! This weekend we are going to College Station, TX, to get together with a few of my college friends. Another two of them are pregnant and due in July, so we are having a pre-baby weekend! Our friend, Tami is kinda heading it up and her parents are opening up their home for us. It is going to be a lovely weekend!! I am sure I'll have some good pictures to post later.

7 Months and a Comparison

So, here is the seven month picture update... And I thought I'd pull out the 5 month one for comparison, especially since I'm in the same shirt :)

Anna's Letters and Angela's Bed

Here are Anna's letters that I wrote about a few blogs ago... cute, eh? And today we got Angela's bed from her other friend who was housing it, but is expecting baby #2 and needed the space. So, now we have two queen guest beds upstairs for anyone who wants to visit! :D

Scooba.... MY HERO!

The other day, I got my sweet little Scooba. I used one of my 20% off coupons at Linens N' Things to get her. Last night, I charged up her battery and set her loose in the kitchen this morning. She did a great job! Scooba is the mopping version of the vacuuming Roomba. Since I have a nice, new vacuum, I will have to wait awhile on the Roomba :) I think a couple of my readers have the famous Roomba. Little Scooba is now working in my bathroom. Thank you, MARK!!! :D
