Gross/McLane trip to Branson :)

We finally did it. After many years Emma and I finally planned a trip so we could see each other and meet each others little ones! It was really fun, the car ride was a different story but once we got to Branson it was fun. I had never been there and I always enjoy going to places I've never been. We were only there two full days so we didn't get to do much. The cabin we stayed in was really great! I found it off the Internet so I was kind of scared to see it but I was really pleased with how nice it turned out to be. I didn't get a picture though, maybe Emma did. Anyway....I'm glad we planned it and that everything worked out so great!
Here are some random pictures from our car ride. It took about 13 hours to get there and 12 to get home. it was long but I got to see parts of the country that I've never seen before.

The pictures above were taken at Bass Pro Shop in Springfield, MO. It was a huge outdoor store with it's own restaurant that had a really good buffet. Carly and Andrina loved looking at the fish.

These were taken while we were waiting for Daddy to ride on the go-karts. Carly loves these little mechanical toys and for 25 cents you can't beat it!

These were taken at the Hollywood Wax museum which was interesting but not as exciting as what there Internet sight said. Emma and I and the girls went while Kevin and Chad went fishing. Andrina was afraid of most of them and Carly didn't really care!

These were taken inside the cabin we stayed at. Carly and Andrina were enjoying the couch.

Saturday night we went to the Dixie Stampede. It was so fun and Carly actually sat through the whole thing! Although she was trapped inside a booster seat which helped. This place is a huge arena where they feed you tons of yummy food and put on a how down in the arena. This one had tons of horses and pigs and ostriches. It was a Christmas show, which was kind of odd since it's only October, but it was well worth it!!

Hair Cut!!

Before

After
They aren't very cute pictures but they give you the idea.

I've been debating back and forth whether or not to cut my hair. I finally decided to and I did it yesterday. I took a chance and went to a place I found on the interent. I actaully really liked them.

Pumpkin Patch

Last saturday we went to a place called the Pumpkin Patch. It wasn't really a pumpkin patch but they sold pumpkins there. They had a little train ride and a hayride and little games for kids. We just went on a train ride and Carly barely made it through that. It was so hot outside too, it didn't feel like fall. Luckily it has cooled down the past couple days to where it actually feels like October.

I think I did this a long time ago but here goes again...

Rules- Each player lists 6 habits/facts about them, then when they are done they tag 6 of their friends.
1. I'll start with the most obvious one. I am deathly afraid of bugs. I will purposely go a different route just so I don' have to pass by them if they're in the house. I can handle snakes, but bugs are a no go.

2. I love the taste of Vinegar and lemon Juice (not together) I will use plain vinegar on a salad and will drink a cup of Lemon Juice and water. I have no idea where this came from but it just what my taste buds like.

3. This is a disgusting one but I have always wanted to dissect a human body. When I was in middle school I wanted to job shadow a mortician. I am just so fascinated with the human body and how it all works. It's an amazing thing. Last year we went to see the exhibit Body Worlds (www.bodyworlds.com) when it was here in Houston and I would've stayed there for hours. It was amazing.

4. One time I made some brownies and I ate almost the whole pan in one day.

5. I hate belly buttons. The worst was when I was big and prego and the thing wouldn't stop poking out. YUK!

6. I can't stand Arnold Swarchenegger and Sylvester Stalone.

I now tag: Natasha, Desirae, Brittany, Cami, Sharise, Mom

Lady

Don't worry, this is not because I'm prego. I've been looking for the past couple months casually for a beagle or a cocker spanial. There are a ton of shelters around here but I wasn't having any lucky finding any. The other day we were driving home from getting some dinner and we passed these peopl ethat were selling this one and only beagle. She is a lemon beagle. She is 8 weeks old and she is so sweet. A little crazy, like all puppies can be, but sweet. I know you probably think I'm crazy to get a puppy now but it's acutally not bad.

Suprise, suprise!

Well, for those of you who haven't heard.....we will be expecting our second in May of next year. Not quite when we were planning it but....Life happens when you are making plans right??

spaghetti face and more...

Here are just some random pictures from last week. I got her hair up in a little pony tail. It looked so cute!! I also took pictures of her spaghetti face, she was enjoying her dinner way too much! The other picture is of Carly and Kennedy watching a movie on the computer. She only lasted a couple minutes before she was ready to get off the chair. She is starting to show some interest in Sesame Street. She loves it when Elmo's World comes on because she loves the fish that is in the fishbowl. She is sure getting to be a big girl!
