Videos will be next :)

The next influx of posts will be videos. I'll start working on them now, and post as I get them ready. It will probably take me a few days. Enjoy all the pictures!!

The Dallas Museum of Nature and Science

They have a great children's museum, and Ben and Abby's favorite thing were the big water tables.


we all took our pictures in the hazmat suits...except Abby :)



there was a ginormous bubble station


Ben was a little hesitant to stand this close, but he LOVED all the dinosaur bones.


a great picture!!


now he has the perfect pose!



both of these aren't half bad!


Abby walking!!

My 30th Birthday

Trace and I had gone out the weekend before with another couple to celebrate my birthday, and I went out with my girlfriends the weekend after. So, on my actual birthday we went out to dinner as a family.

Cutest Hat and Boots EVER!!

Aunt Gina gave Abigail this furry hat and boot set. We love it!! Someone at Wal Mart saw her from the back in the shopping cart with the hat on and thought she was a stuffed animal until she moved! LOL!!
