This past weekend proved to be yet another fabulous time! It was jam- packed just like last weekend, but that's apparently how we like them! The week was pretty busy for me- working on the nursery. (Don't worry, I'll post pics soon-it's getting very close to being complete!) Little Grace has proven to start moving quite a bit more in the past couple weeks, and I can tell she is definitely growing! I know she's growing because Mike and I have noticed that my belly button has started to try to escape :(. It's one of those things you know will ultimately happen, but mine is trying harder and harder everyday to poke out- aahhh! Oh well, guess I'll need to get over that...AND start wearing looser fitting shirts!
On Friday, Mike and I decided to meet some friends for dinner and movie--sweet, I know. We met Tyler and Susie, Gabe and Chandra, and Matt at Chuy's for some Mexican grub before we headed to the movies. We met Cecily and her mom to see 'Horrible Bosses.' Let me tell ya- Mike and I are pretty easy to please when it comes to cinematic adventures, but this movie was hilarious! We've always been, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" fans, so we were pretty interested to see how Charlie Day did..and he was very funny! Jennifer Aniston was mighty scandalous too..for all you male viewers! Go see it!
SATURDAY...
We started our day off bright and early with our first (of many) baby classes. This one was 4 hours long, and it was all about childbirth. Let me tell u..Mike was having a good ole time with this! We both saw our first childbirth video...AAHHH! Quite interesting-to say the least! Well, at least we're one step closer to being ready to raise a human-Ha! After class, we packed up the dogs (again) and headed to Granbury (again)! Our nephew, Clay, is turning the big 5, and we were supposed to be meeting them at Fossil Rim for his b-day party...but Nate and Ariana were sick so that wouldn't have made for a very go
od time. :(
SUNDAY...
Since we were there anyway, we decided we were going to Fossil Rim and having our fun! It was soo much fun! My advice to you is to go early like we did. We got there around 8:30, and it was nice and cool! Mike and I posted up in the back of the truck, while Mom and Dad stayed inside to enjoy the air conditioning. Mike was a little uneasy about being so exposed to all of the animals, but I found that to be quite entertaining.
Another good thing about going early in the morning is that the animals are up and hungry! The first hour, we spent a good amount of time feeding different kind of deer and zebra...
After about an hour into it, there is a half-way point with restrooms and a gift shop. I thought it was pretty funny that when I went to the restroom, I noticed a huge sign that said: "Please do not wash your feet in the sink!" Apparently, that's a big problem they have with the women there! My mom also got me a cute little bracelet that says, 'Grace.' (couldn't help it..it was just so cute and giraffe print!)
The second half of the tour was awesome!
That's when we saw some HUGE deer and giraffes-UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL! We also saw the cheetah compound, which was great- but all the cheetahs were enjoying their siesta time!
If you ever get the chance to check this place out, you definitely should! It's really fun getting to see all the animals so close and feed them!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST....
After lunch in Glenrose, my parents decided to go see a puppy prospect. They have debating whether or not to get a puppy for a while now, and have been keeping their eye on this lab puppy--but hadn't seen it yet. Mike and I knew that all we had to do was go 'see' it, and it would all be over.
We went to see the two black lab puppies that were left, and they were precious (to say the least)! OF COURSE, they decided now was the time to commit to the puppy raising..don't know why it took them so long! So, needless to say, SHELBY is the newest member in our family. I did find it funny to tell my parents that...between Landon and us there will be four dogs and a newborn baby at their house during the holidays! Yee haw!!
