Yellow Belt Testing 6-23-07

Toby had his yellow belt testing yesterday. He passed with flying colors. I video taped it, but have no idea how to put the video on the blog, so pictures will have to do. His next testing will be in August for his advanced yellow belt.

For those of you who want a baby update. I'm having what you would call all freaking day sickness. This is the first time I've been out of bed in 24 hours. I finally caved and called the doctor on call this morning to get some nausea medicine. I thought it would pass, but it's only getting worse!!! Thank God for medication. I know all of you are wanting to see belly pictures, but I've actually lost about 10 pounds over the last 2 weeks, so there isn't much to see.....There will be soon so stay tuned!

Boy Scout NASA Camp-In 6/17/07

We all (minus Toby) traveled to Houston this weekend for Father's Day. Scout started the weekend with his Boy Scout Pack at NASA Space Center. He got to spend the night. They also got to ask questions to the astronauts currently up in space. Brian and I went and had dinner with Shannon, Marcus, Matt, Terra & dad. Brian almost chocked to death on a banana pepper and I had the saltiest chicken fried steak ever.....so bad I had to send it back (and you all know how much I LOVE chicken fried steak. Needless to say, we had a great time catching up and the desert was awesome!!

This morning Brian and I met up with the scouts at NASA to take the tram ride through the space center. Needless to say, after waiting for it to quit raining for a hour, they canceled the tour. It seemed like the boys had a blast! Scout got him a space suit in the space shop and wore it all day (even on the plane home)!!

We went from NASA to Terra's house for the big Father's Day BBQ.....Did I mention the rain??? Well, it rained, and it rained, and it rained. By 1pm our flights were delayed. Matt's parents and his sisters family joined us and we had a great time (except for maybe Matt who was outside grilling in the rain). Terra told Scout all about how I got to go to Space Camp as a kid and now Scout wants to go to. He's not quite old enough yet, but we'll send him when he's old enough if he still wants to go!!

By the time we got to the airport our flight was delayed for 2 hours so we thought........Anyway, long story short, we are home now at 7:45pm and dad is STILL sitting at Hobby Airport waiting to get home......Happy Father's Day Dad!!!

The Betting Tables Are Closed

For those of you placing bets there is only 1 baby in my huge belly!! (Whew) I had a sonogram today and I'm 6 weeks and 5 days and the due date of 1/26/08 was confirmed. Brian was quite proud of himself for the fact he saw and pointed out the heartbeat before Dr. Andy. That's all for now, stay tuned!

Cub Scout Cross Over Graduation

Today Scout had his Cub Scout Cross Over Ceremony. His den moved from Wolf rank to the Bear Rank. It was complete with a big outdoor picnic for the entire Pack 1776 of Boggess Elem. They had pizza, a bounce house, basketball, and water balloons. The boys had a lot of fun. In June, his Den gets to spend the night at NASA Space Center in Houston. Scout is really looking forward to that!

Belt Testing

Toby has his first belt testing today for karate. He now has his advanced white belt. He's been working really hard and I think he is really enjoying karate although he finally admitted he really misses baseball!!

Happy Easter!!

Happy Easter everyone!!! We were going to start the day the weekend down at Cedar Creek lake, but the weather was against us and Grandma fell and broke her hip Thursday night. So, we ended up spending Friday at the lake to celebrate Memaw's 84th birthday and then came home. Today we were going to start the day with the SONrise service at church, but it was cancelled because of the horribly cold weather here! Can you believe it snowed here yesterday, it's crazy!! Instead we started with a Big Easter breakfast, then went to church and came home for an Easter egg hunt!!

My lovely friend, Diane, in San Antonio, sends me my Cascarones eggs (confetti eggs)every year from San Antonio! She's never let me down and they made it here yesterday! I never asked her to send them, she just started one year after I moved back from San Antonio. It always brings a smile to my face when I see the big package sitting on the door step!!!

We'll be having Easter lunch in a bit and we will sit and talk with the kids about the true meaning of Easter. They both understand what today is REALLY about and actually listened to the sermon this morning!

I hope each of you have a wonderful Easter day and praise God that Jesus has Risen and we now are ensured of eternal life in Heaven!!!!

I'm Awful at this Blog Thing

I suck at this! I can never remember to update it! Let's see, Toby is now 10 (sorry Aggies) and Scout is 8 (and yes, that is pumpkin pie in the picture). We are busy now that spring is here. Toby started karate about 3 weeks ago and he is loving it! His dad ships out for basic training on Monday so I'm expecting Toby to be pretty bummed, so everybody email him!!!

Let's see, what else.......we are going to start going down to Cedar Creek on the weekends! Memaw's tenant didn't work out in Gary's old place, so we are going to invade it. They boys are really excited (especially the 6' tall blond one) and I think Memaw is, too (even though she probably wouldn't admit it!!) It's fenced so we will be able to take the dogs with us.

Other than that, it is the same old thing day in and out!
