I am trying this again!

After speaking to my husband’s cousin yesterday, she encouraged me to get back on here and continue my blog. I love reading other people's blogs, so I am surprised I didn't keep up with mine the first time. it is safe to say that there is a lot going on right now. Austin just started 1st grade. We just got back from our Disney/Universal/Islands of Adventure vacation. And last but certainly not least we are expecting our second child. SECOND CHILD! To be honest I thought I was destined to only have one, but I am wrong. God has other plans :)

Here is a picture of the new baby at about 13 weeks. The head is over to the left and it's hands are tucked in the middle. It (I hate saying "it") wouldn't budge, I think it was very comfy. We have our next appointment on Oct. 1st, and as long as the baby cooperates we will let everyone know what we are having.

On to some vacation pictures. Those of you who have not spent a lot of time around Austin, might not know just how inquisitive he can be. Before we would attempt any ride, he would question me or Charley relentlessly until he felt the ride was suitable for him. This went on for three days. On the third day we went to Islands of Adventure and since we had never been there we decided to wing it. We walked through the park without having a clue as to what kind of rides there were or what attractions they had. We figured this would be more fun, plus we would not be ale to answer the thousands of questions coming form Aussie's mouth. So here we were riding ride after ride. Then we came to the Jurassic Park area of the park. We came across a ride called " Jurassic River Ride", I thought it was one of those river rafting rides,where you ride the rapids. I was wrong, little did I know this ride had a 50-90 foot drop. Needless to say Austin was NOT happy. After we plummeted x amount of feet the ride was over and Austin was slightly hyperventilating. We tried to convince him to laugh it off, but he had lost all sense of humor at the top of the rides drop. As all rides end in a gift shop, so did this one. The best part was there was a great picture of our faces while we were falling to our deaths. you have heard a picture is worth a thousand words and this is no exception. Austin's face is that of sheer fright. It was awesome!

Last but certainly not least is my favorite picture from this trip. Austin-ana Jones! OK well that's all I have for today, I know that there is more to come. I will keep you posted!

P.S. Aren't you proud Mylinda?
