Happy Birthday Aaron!


It has been birthday city around our house the past couple of weeks. Last year Aaron's birthday got pretty much ignored because Maddy had just been born and we were actually coming home from the hospital today without Maddy.
This year Aaron has to work until 8 or later tonight so there won't be much celebrating today. BUT I just wanted to write a blog to say happy birthday and what a fantastic person Aaron is. He is a great husband, dad, and teacher. He got up at 6 this morning to work on his power point so he could have a good class for today and he stayed up until 11 last night working on notes for his lecture. He is super busy all the time but he makes a consistent effort to carve out time to spend with Maddy and me. He makes sure all the bills are paid every month. Sometimes if I've had a busy week he helps clean up the house, especially if people are coming over. He doesn't care how the house looks but he knows I don't like to have people over to a messy, dirty house. Often he will do the dishes for me after I've cooked or he will get Maddy ready for bed so I can clean up the kitchen. He watches Maddy on Wednesday nights when I go to class. He is always very encouraging in what he says to Maddy and I. His students love him as a teacher and also as a person. He has three students right now who are begging him to go to Branson with them in Sept. so they can all do a Half Iron Man. He is willing to work hard at things he is not naturally good at. He plays scrabble so that he can improve his spelling and learn new words. I have been blessed to see Aaron grow as a person, a husband, and a father over the almost 7 years we have been married. The best part is that he actively tries to work on all these aspects of his life because he really cares about being a good Christian, glorifying God, and serving his family. Happy Birthday Aaron!

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 t...

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...

Fall-The Best Season of All

 I love fall! I used to be a bigger fan of summer when we lived in Colorado but I have always liked fall and it has definitely risen to the top of my favorite season list since moving to Dallas. Fall means that I actually can go outside and enjoy being outside again. That is especially a relief after this summer. It is so great to be able to take Maddy on a walk in the middle of the day if I want to....and it's a great way to get her to take a nap without a big wrestling match. Fall also means the Texas State Fair, which means all the fried food you can eat, fun with family, and lots of fun animal shows to entertain the two kids--I mean the kid and the kid at heart when it comes to animals.. I usually spend some of the fall season missing the crisp air a beautiful changing colors in Colorado, but this year we actually got to go back to visit Aaron's family for fall break so we got to have a little taste of that as well. Here are some great pictures from our fair ...
