We tried to find out the gender of this sweet little baby today, but it was not ready to reveal itself yet!! The outstanding news is that the baby is active, happy, healthy, and growing! We are overjoyed. We haven't seen or heard the baby in 8 weeks, so it was wonderful to see.

The new due date is July 19th.....our wedding anniversary and 3 days after Layne's birthday!

Fortunately, the ultrasound tech is my mother in law so I can go back any time. I think we'll bring the girls next time. Maybe they can coax this baby to let us see!

Baby Bump Week 14

Sleep Over

Friday night the girls hung out with Grandma and Pop while mommy and daddy went out with the DP staff. The girls even have the princess poses down!!

What a priss jumping on the bed.

Saturday morning the girls woke up to Pop making them pancakes!!

Of course, the girls had to spend time with the chicks in the basement.

They even know how to place them on their backs and rub their tummies so that they fall asleep.

Rainy rainy weekend!

Jogging and Riding

Today the girls and I went to the elementary school down the street so that I could jog and they could ride their bikes. Layner still doesn't ride her big girl bike. So, this is the "bike" that she brought.

Ready to ride!!

On the way to the track....

They just loved this sidewalk for some reason.....better than the track.

Layner had a little spill on the track. She cried a little, then when she saw the blood the whole situation got a lot worse! She's a tough cookie though. I thought for sure that it would be time to go home, but she wanted to keep riding.

Great times!!

They must have gone up and down this sidewalk 20 times!!
Oh, and my jog was just fine. It was so nice to be in a place where I could get some exercise and they were safe and having fun at the same time!

The Penguin Project!

Here's Hayden's finished penguin project! The little paper mache penguins in their icy antarctic home....complete with a sugar water feature. Hayden had nothing to do with making that considering it was 300 degree boiling sugar!!

What a fun little project!

Arctic Animal School Project

So, Hayden has her first "long term" project at school. We have about 2 weeks to do it. She has to pick an arctic animal and do a project that shows how they live. So, we are doing penguins in Antarctica.

First we blew up three little balloons and paper mached them. No pictures of that......it was VERY messy.

Then they had to dry for 2 days. Today we paint!

Hayden even let sister help paint.

When she came home with the paper telling all about the project I got very excited! Jeremy said, "Before you start the project you need to watch this week's Modern Family." I did, and it was VERY relevant to the situation. Of course, I justified it by saying that Hayden is only 5 years old and she NEEDS my help :)

So, fun times ahead!!!

Happy Belated Birthday Jesus Cake

Every Discover Kid that came to Discover Point on Christmas participated in a HUGE Birthday party for Jesus AND they left with a treat bag. The treat bag contained a box of cake mix, a container of frosting, a noise maker, party hat, and a cute little note to the parents that encouraged them to bake the cake together have a Birthday Party for Jesus at home with the family.

Things have finally calmed down enough for us so we decided that today was the day of Jesus' belated Birthday Celebration!!

Time to make the cake......

Each one got to help out....

Then it was time to watch the mixer do its job.

After the cake cooled it was time to ice it.

They did a great job icing our cake.

Next it was star sprinkle time!!

Here's our finished birthday cake for Jesus! Can't wait till after dinner so we can all have a slice.

Getting Some Exercise!

The other day we all went for a walk before dinner. The next day Hayden said that her legs hurt all day because of the long walk the day before! So, yesterday I had the girls run around the house to get some exercise.

The loved it!!

Then Layner got distracted and started picking flowers!

Panther of the Month

All dressed and waiting for sister's assembly to begin. This is her absolute favorite outfit of all times. She was so excited that it was raining so that that she could wear her perfectly matching rain boots!!
