Most Rockin' Memorial Day ever



Well I didn't really think I'd be posting anything on here until after the wedding. I mean, that is the big event of the week, BUT little did I know that I was going to have the most awesome memorial day I can remember.
Nat was in town this weekend (I know he would like to believe that that is why my memorial day was so awesome) and we met up with him on Sunday night to hang out. We went to Tricia's house and ate leftover brisket that I cooked. It turned out okay. Tasty but a little chewy in some places, but it was my first time cooking brisket so it wasn't a bad attempt. Anyway. We went and got in the hot tub after dinner and then came back to our house and played games. Well, Nat's friend Amy lives in Azel which is a few miles west of Ft. Worth. Her dad has a boat so she said that we could go out on the boat with them the next day if we wanted and go tubing. So of course we said we'd love to. So Amy and Nat stayed at our house for the night and then we all headed to Lake Worth the next morning. I was a little scared of doing the tubing thing but it was really fun. I definitely didn't get as crazy as Aaron and Nat who ended the day by trying to stand up on the tube. I have issues with water that is deeper than I can stand up in so it is amazing that I went and that I had fun. We ate at a really good hamburger place on the lake. Amy's dad was so awesome to take us. After we got done tubing we came back to our house again and had burritos and played some more games before Nat and Amy had to leave. Great day!

Wow!! How fun!! Hope the Izuzu gets fixed and your trip up north is completely uneventful!! Be safe!

PS, I am so glad your AC is on!! Our electric bills are high, but it is just part of our budget in the summer, we just plan on more expensive electric bills for about 4 months, the rest of the year it is fine.

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building the

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her

More Miss Maddy pics

Here are some more pictures of Maddy. I know everyone is eager for pictures. We got to put her first little outfit on last night. She got out of the incubator bed and into a regular bassinet so she can now wear clothes and have her own blankies and stuff. It is great.
