Tailgating with a "twist"!!


The kids were so excited to get to tailgate for the Kentucky ballgame.  We opted out of taking them to the game due to the thunderstorms that were being predicted.  Plus, the kids were super-excited about hanging out with their cousins, Caleb and Calvin at the house with their babysitter.  

I actually took my camera (I know, it's still hard for me to believe too!)  Anniston was super-excited to have her picture taken with a "real" Razorback cheerleader.

 And of course Treyson got in on the action!!
 We took the kids across the parking lot and had a special surprise to tell them.  They were BESIDE themselves, and were busting at the seams to get back to their grandparents.  Why?  Because they had an awesome gift to share with them!

 Nanny opening her present.......
 I think MaMa looks a little bit excited!  Why?  Because she just looked at a sonogram of her 8th grandbaby!











 Me showing Treyson how big our Little Bit #3 is right now
 MaMa and Nanny looked at the sonogram and thought it was twins.....WRONG!  That would be a head and abdomen! :)

 Happy Grandmas!




 Jerry was showing the Grandmas how active this little one was while we tried to get a cute picture of it at the doctors office.  It was totally rocking out in the belly.  Was absolutely cracking my OB/GYN up!
We are so thrilled to be expecting our "LB3".  We have named all of our kids Little Bit (then Little Bit #2, now #3) during the pregnancy since we don't find out the gender and don't ever reveal any potential names until the baby has landed safely :)

We are due towards the end of April.  The kids have been so precious with me.  Anniston will come love on my belly.  She kisses the baby every day.  Both kids pray for the baby at night.  Honestly, it moves me to tears it's so precious.  We are beside ourselves with excitement, and pray that LB3 continues to grow, stay healthy, and quit making Mommy nauseous 24/7! HA!

Fall day trip to Silver Dollar City

We decided to take advantage of this beautiful fall weather and head up to Branson for the day on Sunday.  The lines were super short, and it was warm enough to be wearing shorts, but there was a nice breeze--can't beat it! :)

The kids were skipping in and ready to hit Powder Keg first--their absolute FAVORITE roller coaster at the park
 Here they are taking off.....doesn't look like Treyson's enjoying himself quite as much!  He always looks concerned at take-off....maybe it's because it goes from 0-60 mph in 3 seconds.  I promise he LOVES it though!
 There they are in the front cars (I guess you can really only see Jerry though!)

 We spent an hour taking a tour through the Marvel Cave at Silver Dollar City.  It was AMAZING!






 Here' a picture of one of the endangered bats living here!

 This is the train that took us out of the cave at the end.

 The swings!!

 Silly kids!

 Riding the elephants :)
 Our Dadoo is the silliest!


 Teacups....I can't even watch them ride this or I'll get sick---bleh!
