Jacob got a free Six Flags Ticket for reading at school. So, He and Scott had an outing to Six Flags last Saturday. Wendy was able to get Scott a ticket for $26 so it didn't cost that much at all! They had a blast together. That was the first time Scott has gone to Six Flags in the over 4 years we have lived here.

They saw tons of characters, but this was the one Jacob wanted a picture of! He's got good taste. I love the coyote!
It took a few tries to get this pic, but it sure is a good one.

Notice Scott is NOT on the tea cups with Jacob. Another dad said that he could join him in his teacup because Scott does not do the spinning thing!

Jacob LOVED the bumper cars. It is too bad that they didn't have them for adults, too. Scott would have had fun playing with him!

Jacob favorite part, though was the pirate ship that rocked way up and way down. At first he was scared to go on it, but it was Scott's turn to pick the ride, so he went on it. They picked a seat in the middle so they didn't go up and down all that much and Jacob loved it. They had to go on again and this time they got a seat right on the edge so they could go way up and way down! Jacob put his hands in the air and screamed with Scott and they flew down. Too bad we don't have a picture of that one!

Visit to Austin

We had so much fun at Virginia's house this last week.

Rebecca loved "helping" with the dish washer.

The pool was so much fun! The boys could really make my kids fly!

Sarah didn't fly quite as well as Jacob did. (She's heavier)

Elizabeth said she was flying in the water.

The Natural Science Center was really fun. We dug for dino bones, looked at a lot of fossils and played in a stream.
The other two boys wouldn't play in the water with us, but Matthew did.

Sarah fell, of course, but she just said, "Oh gross." Rather mater-of-factly.

We had a lot of fun in the IKEA just a few minutes from her house.

Sarah loved trying on all the hats and...

...putting the hats on Rebecca. They didn't stay on for long.

These pictures always bring a smile to my face, so I just had to share. Elizabeth REALLY got into this game :)

April and March 08

We got season passes for the Fort Worth Zoo so we could go during Spring Break. I was a bit sick, but it was still fun.

Delia was a big help. I'm so glad she came with us. (Even if she is picture taking impaired :)

I had fun experimenting with the cutouts on this one. I will most likely add some stickers when I get it developed.

Fort Worth Zoo June 2008

Here are a couple of the zoo pages that I did. I have several more pages, but these ones show enough. The zoo is always fun. I'm especially glad that we were able to go to the zoo during this week because it was the only week that I was feeling good during my pregnancy. Before that I was sick and after that I was on bed rest.

My friend, Leslie, said that I needed to put some of my scrapbook pages up. This one doesn't have anything really special, but I thought it turned out nice.

Becca is growing by leaps and bounds!

She is crawling most of time now. She just occasionally army crawls, and...

She also has learned out to climb up!

The thing she likes the most, though, is making messes!

Becca following the laser pointer

Becca can get anywhere she wants to now. She is having fun exploring our house. We now have a gate keeping her out of the kitchen and have to close all the doors in the hallway so she can't get into the rooms. It is so fun to watch her grow! Her favorite things are cords, of course. We have to keep them out of reach or she will be there in seconds.

Scott told Jacob that he wasn't allowed to play with Becca with the laser because it was showing her a toy that she couldn't get, but I thought it was the funniest thing and let him do it. She followed that light all over the living room. It was great. By the time I got the camera, she had slowed down quiet a bit, but I still thought it was funny.
