Ultrasound Pics

Since I'm measuring a little ahead of schedule, my doctor ordered another ultrasound this week. It was fun to see pictures of the little guy again. I've been having lots of baby girl dreams so I was glad to see he is still a boy. Ha ha! He is doing just fine and is measuring right on track. He now weighs about 3 lbs 2 oz. We still haven't come up with a name for him yet. Kyle wants to name him Phinneas/Finneas and call him Finn. I...uh...don't think that one will make it onto the short list. Sorry. The ultrasound tech switched over to 3D/4D for a few minutes and printed out a couple of face shots. He was moving around so much that they look a little lumpy, but you can get an idea of what he'll look like when we get to meet him in a few more months. He's got both of his arms tucked around his face, one under his chin and the other on his right side. Even with all the lumps and bumps, I think he's still a cutie! And it still amazes me that they can even get pictures like this. I'm glad there are smart people in the world that can come up with this kind of technology.

Hayden's 7th Birthday

How I love my Hayden! He is a sweet, affectionate, tender-hearted boy who loves all things Legos, survives on Goldfish crackers, is a sucker for infomercials, and sees the world in his own unique way. He had been planning the details of his birthday for months and was so excited when the big day finally arrived. When he woke up he got to try a new cereal he's been asking for, "Cocoa Puffs Brownie Crunch." He gave it a big thumbs up. Then we all went to BounceU to play for a little while.Then it was off to Krispy Kreme for his free birthday dounuts!After a sausage pizza dinner, it was time for cake! This year Hayden wanted a Lego cake. But not just any Lego cake. He wanted a cake that looked like the head of a character named Mack that came with a Pharaoh's Quest Lego set that he didn't even own, but it was on his wish list for birthday presents. Luckily Darlene (Deedum) came through on both counts. Here's Mack:And here's the cake. AWESOME!And she made a bunch of coordinating cupcakes! Hayden loved it!And then it was time for presents! I've never seen so many Lego Sets! Hayden was in heaven!
Happy 7th Birthday Hayden!!

Haboob!

Here are some photos of what rolled through town last night. The guys on the news were saying it was the biggest haboob they've seen in many years. The winds were reported at up to 69 mph! Crazy! I didn't take any of these photos, by the way. By the time I realized what was going on I couldn't even see the houses across the street. Clint was just about to start a softball game when it rolled over the field. He caught it on video with his cell phone and I'll try to upload that later. Watching out the window it seems very much like when a blizzard rolls through and you can't see anything. Except instead of snow, it's just a bunch of dust. Kyle and I ran out to the back yard to pull in the patio furniture closer to the house and came back in with dust in our eyes and teeth. Blech!
In other news...HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYDEN! I'll be back later with photos and fun from today.
