The Polar Express

This past weekend we went with Eddie's family to Palestine to ride The Polar Express. It was about an hour long train ride that goes from Palestine to Rusk and back. We all had such a wonderful time. The chefs danced in the aisle, we drank hot chocolate, met Santa Clause, received a bell, and we all got our tickets punched, just like the story. All the kids, plus some of us adults, even wore our pajamas. It was definitely worth the trip and I would recommend it to anyone.

Cash has fallen in love with my camera and steals it from me every chance he gets. It took me a while that night to get the setting back to where I needed it to be. Some of the pictures are a little fuzzy but I think I still got some good ones.

Since we were all together this weekend anyway we decided to have Christmas at the lake house. There were 14 of us in a very quaint little cabin. Luckily our neighbors next door let some of stay in their guest house so we weren't too crowded. Still it was rather cozy at times. Eddie and I were excited because we were able to take his sisters and their husbands to the deer lease to hunt. His sister Julie shot her first deer and so did Becky's husband. Becky and I were big girls and went to the stand by oursleves and were going to shoot a deer by ourlseves and really impress the men. The only problem was we saw absolutely nothing! I love being in Crockett and personally hope we have started a new tradition.

Is it Friday yet?

Just thought I would share with you that a bottle of black fingernail polish just busted in my purse...my Coach purse! Luckily I bought the purse at the Coach Outlet or I would really be sick to my stomach.

Tag You're It!

Another picture that makes me sad! Ok, all pregnancy hormones aside. This is when we took Cash to JCPenney for his one year pictures. He did so good given the circumstances. It was a Saturday, the studio was so crowded, the family in front of us was not well behaved, and I had my two younger cousins with us. Still, I can not believe how much he has changed. In about a month we will celebrate his 3rd birthday!

These are the directions:

1. choose the 4th picture folder on your computer

2. choose the 4th picture

3. explain the picture

4. and tag 4 more people to do the same

**I tag Shelby, Amy Harlien, Lynn, and

Jill Cartwright.

Christmas 2006

I think having another baby is making me sad Cash is not a baby anymore. He has changed so much!

Snow

Thank goodness we have friends and family who pay more attention to what is going on around us than I do. Cash and I would have missed the snow if everyone would not have called to see if he was playing in it. Eddie was still at the shop and we were in the house watching Home Alone so I had no idea it was snowing like that. Cash really enjoyed the snow. At first I didn't have gloves on him so after about 20 minutes we had to come inside because his poor hands so hurt bad. Luckily I found a pair in his closet. The other diemma was the battery on my camera was dead. I tried to take a few pictures with my phone but they were not turning out. I was able to let the battery charge long enough to take some pictures. I know people keep saying it snowed here not too long ago but I do not ever remember seeing snow like this. The only time that comes close is when I was probably about 4 years old and we still lived on the ranch. I would love to think it might snow again like this closer to Christmas but I am not going to get my hopes up.

Cash and The Computer

At Mother's Day Out, Grandmother's Day Out as I call it, Cash goes to computer class on Mondays. We always get a report letting us know what he did and the teacher says he enjoys class and is doing well. He got a Vtech computer for Christmas last year and he liked it but the mouse quit working. My dad could probably fix it but now I can't find the keybord at all. Last night when I was trying to work on Christmas cards Cash wanted to sit in my lap and play on the computer. I decided to Google online games for him to play and I came across this Donald Duck game where you help him make pizzas. It would be really good for kids a little older because it teaches patterns and stuff but Cash just likes to click on things. He amazed me tough. I would tell him to click on the yellow pepper or the red tomato or the mushroom and he would. We made 15 pizzas before he ever made a mistake. I told Eddie about it when he got home from his meeting and he was just as excited as I was. What we can't figure out is why our almost three year old can play computer games but isn't fully potty trained!

Doctor Appointment

I went to the doctor yesterday and had the shock of my life. I made the mistake of asking the nurse how much weight I have gained. Much to my surprise she told me 20 lbs! I couldn't believe it. I won't be 20 weeks until Thursday so she was basically telling me I have gained a pound a week. My doctor did not sound too concerned so I kind-of, kind-of laughed it off. The worst part was I was hungry when I left the doctor's office! What confuses me is I can still wear my regular pants (they don't button but I can wear them.) I wasn't about to tell Eddie. I knew I would never hear the end of it. This morning around 4am I went to the bathroom and decided to weigh myself. According to my scale I have only gained 9 lbs, which would be much more reasonable. I don't know if I should email my nurse and tell her or just let it look like I lost a lot of weight on my next appointment. On the flip sound, Colt's little heartbeat was just beating away. Everything is going good. April will be here before we know it. We taught Cash a while back that mommy had a baby in her tummy and he needed to be easy with mommy. Ever since we told him it was a boy and that he was going to have a little brother, I swear he will walk up and kind of pop me (not hard) on my tummy. I think he is already trying to let Colt know who is boss.

It's a Boy!!

Colt Matthew Glover-due April 30th (unless he turns out to be as big as his brother then he will be here a little earlier!) We are so excited about having 2 boys. This morning I taught Cash to say, "brother."
