Oh yeah...The park and Football.

For some reason...maybe I was running late for work, maybe it was 2am, maybe Aby was screaming like...well, a baby. I don't honestly know what happened but I forgot to write the second half of my previous post. This post...

During our recent trip to Texas we also spent a lovely afternoon at the park. The boys had fun playing on the playground. We had a nice sack lunch, my sister had fun taking photos of everyone and I enjoyed the 70 degree weather. Oh, how I miss you Texas weather.






Abigail was also inroduced to the Dallas Cowboys. She will be a fan, she really has no choice. Her G-ma and Pa smothered her with Cowboys paraphernalia and she even watched her first football game.

The Zoo, Trains, Park, and Football.

During our recent trip to Texas we made a visit to the Zoo. It was a beautiful day, and Abigail absolutely adored the animals. She was squealing at the parrots, and yelling at the lions. She loved the elephants who were particularly playful that day. Aby also enjoyed her very first carousel ride. All around we had a great day!







We also took an afternoon to visit the trains at the mall. Aby was mesmerized, Cooper was escaping, and Landon was in train heaven. I Think they all enjoyed it, yet at some point or another each of them took their turns screaming, for what ever reason.

18 Weeks.

Can you believe that I am 18 weeks pregnant already? If you saw my belly you might not believe it either. I have had no nausea, morning sickness, leg cramps, food cravings, nothing except a little (or a lot) of fatigue. The fatigue may be in part to keeping up with my 11 month old (I will be posting about this soon), working 3-11 four days a week, attending youth functions, attempting to keep my house in order, wash diapers, travel to Texas, have a date with my husband every once in a while and grow a healthy baby, but I'm just saying. I'm exhausted. This time in my last pregnancy this is what my belly looked like...




Unfortunately I don't have a new picture for you but I will work on that very soon. As for the baby he/she is about 5 1/2 inches long and weighs about an ounce he/she is about the size of the palm of your hand and I just read this morning that he/she now has fingerprints! How amazing is that!?! I can't wait to find out what we are having (Dec 18Th) and I absolutely can't wait to meet him/her!

Online.

You may not have known why but im sure you noticed my lack of blogging lately. We were sans internet here in the Vedro home for the past four months! I say WERE because we are back online! Stephen is going to be taking an online class next semester and I was basically going nuts without my daily dose of facebook and Mckmama fix. I don't know how anyone could survive without google, mapquest and youtube. How else do you find out how to cut a pomegranate or how to get anywhere and where else can you waste hours upon hours blogging to tell everyone you know how excited you are that you can finally blog again! Sorry to all of you who continued checking my blog everyday to see if anything had changed and the many many days of disappointment! Now, all I have to do is find time to actually take a picture!

Pumkin Patch

Natural Bridge

For the second year we took the youth on a camping trip to natural bridge. Aby and I stayed at home at night and drove up to visit for the day on Saturday, We had out smores and hot chocolate, and did a little hiking and visiting with the kids and headed back home.

Sneak Peek

A Winter Coat.

Grandma Khaki sent Aby a winter coat size 12 months. I spoke with her before it arrived and assured her that it would be fine because Aby would be over 12 months before winter was over. Here are a couple of pictures of Aby AFTER I exchanged the coat for a size 6months! We have to loosen the straps on her carseat to get her in it! Hopefully she will grow into it, if not she can probably wear it next year!

Seattle

Here are a few photos from our amazing trip to Seattle. I will post more and write a little about what a great time we had...eventually.

Guilty.

Doesn't she just look trouble? She has learned to turn the radio knob and so she stands here turning it up and down and (what I call) dancing and laughing.

A message from Aby...

After the last video I turned over the camera for a few moments and here is what Aby had to say...or eat.

Walking...or not.

Aby is much more interested in whatever we have than any toy we could give her. This was an attempt at showing you how well she does with her new walking toy. Unfortunately, Aby falls once and then ditches the toy and comes after my camera. She is too much these days.

Throw Down.

Abigail does this every time we put any toys on her highchair. We think it's pretty funny.
