MY PINK WEASEL!

Little Eliza just started playing soccer a couple weeks ago. Her team: The Pink Weasels! She had her first game a couple weekends ago (last weekends game got canceled) and it was the cutest thing ever! She's actually pretty darn good, we weren't too surprised though, she can be aggressive and competitive when she wants to be. Paul and I were the obnoxious parents yelling and cheering our heads off. People on the bleachers kept turning around laughing at us. What can I say though, we just get really into watching our kids play sports. It helped that Eliza was constantly stealing the ball away from the other team and dribbling the ball down the field. Who wouldn't be whooping and hollering if that was there kid? She also scored her first goal in her first game, it was too much fun. Little tiny girls all chasing after a ball is great entertainment!

I just had to add this little picture Eliza drew of herself playing.

I love their pink and black uniforms. She looks so official.

Run Eliza Run!!

Zachary was happy running around and eating some kids goldfish sitting next to us. Grant had a friend there who's sister also plays on the team so he was off running around with him.

Game well played Eliza! Aunt Jessica would be proud! Afterward Eliza kept saying, "that was fun mom, I really like soccer, it was so fun." Can't wait till next Saturday!

Fort Worth Zoo

I heard that the Forth Worth Zoo was ranked one of the top Zoo's in the nation, so we just had to go and see if that was true. Being the kind of person who only feels it necessary to visit the zoo once a year, I have to say I was really impressed. The zoo was beautiful. Trees, flowers, waterfalls and tons of bamboo were everywhere. Not to mention there was every kind of living thing to see there, the place was huge. We were there for 4 hours and still didn't see everything. The kids and I had a great time, and yes, it's by far the best zoo we've ever been to. So, if by some crazy chance you are in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, you should go. Call me, I'll go with you ; ) It's open 365 days a year!

I don't think my kids knew I was taking this picture of them. I was trying to get a picture of what it looked like throughout the whole zoo. Tall Green trees, flowers and all sorts of plants everywhere. This picture really doesn't do it justice.

The alligator exhibit. At most zoo's they have like one or two, not here, there's like 6.

Yet another shot that my camera just didn't do it justice. I was impressed with how much each exhibit looked like the animals natural habitat. This one had waterfalls, large pools and super high rock walls.

The giraffes were probably my favorite. There were two babies that looked about my height. They were soo cute! I took this for you Carrie.

One of the many children's exhibits they had there, where the kids could learn all sorts of facts about the animals.
Zachary's favorite part: riding this train through the zoo. The zoo is so large that most people don't want to have to walk from one end to the other (lazy bums!) We did, but we just had to try out the train for fun. All in all it was a great day with the kids.

SURPRISE! IT"S A ....

GIRL!!!! We are so happy and excited, especially Eliza, to get another little girl! We went to the Doctor yesterday and got to see our cute little alien looking baby girl. I always feel so much relief when I can see that the little heart, brain, spine and all those other major organs are there and working! Such a blessing! I have to say, this is the first time I had any intuition at all. I just knew it would be a girl. I had NO idea with the others. It has also helped me knowing I get huge right away with the boys and have stayed smaller like I did with Eliza this time. Also, I really think that Chinese/Lunar Calender is pretty darn accurate it's scary. It has been right with all four of mine and all four of my sisters kids too, crazy! You should check it out if you haven't already. I can't wait to start looking for teeny tiny girly baby things. By the way, we are thinking of the name Ruby for her, what do you think? It's kind of one of those names you either love it or hate it...we love it!
