Butterfly Flutterby!


The last few years we have gone to the Butterfly Flutterby in Grapevine. Grapevine, Texas is a gathering spot for the monarchs as they make their way to Mexico. There is a parade with all the kids dressed as butterflies, caterpillars, bees, and whatever. This year we skipped the parade as Haley had a baseball game. Too bad because all the kids who participated got to release a butterfly at the appropriate time. Good luck came to Haley as she rescued a butterfly on the ground and Grandma helped her put it in a tree to join its group!

Cash also got some face paint. I didn't get a good picture of the Wal-mart smiley the nice lady painted on his head. Both kids were intrigued at each other's face painting.

Baby #3!

One morning in August I woke up, went running and came home to make breakfast for the family! I made some delicious pancakes and when the kids and Andy were happy I settled down for my own plate. I could only stare at the plate and think about throwing up! I never actually threw up but right away I knew there was something going on inside my body. Haley, Cash and I went to the store for groceries but what I really wanted was a pregnancy test. After taking 4 tests, I knew I should probably believe the 99.9% accurate tests and stop taking them. I went to the doctor the in September and the ultrasound showed I was 17 weeks. I'm about 21 weeks now and get to find out what this is in 2 weeks. Haley is telling me Heavenly Father thinks we need a girl. I am asking Heavenly Father to help me if it is a girl (just joking! i'm sure every girl isn't going to be as tricky...lovely but tricky as my sweet Haley Mae)! A girl or boy will be great! Just make sure it's healthy! The due date is Mar. 21st which is my mom and Haley's birthday! In this picture you can see the baby's head and left hand waving, it's not really flipping us off just a friendly wave to the onlookers!
