FUN Saturday!!

What a fun day we had on Saturday! We woke up and headed out to visit Great Gram in Oak Cliff. She's been having some health issues and we wanted to go and check on her. Both Ben & Emma drew her some beautiful pictures, which she loved!! She was So excited to see her babies!! She was even more excited when we told her she was going to have another great Grandchild in July!!! We took her out to lunch at Spring Creek BBQ, it was so nice for her to get out and about~ Though I think we may have worn her out a little. Then back to the village to look around and get Gram back to her room. We loved getting to see Great Gram Hopper (or as Emma says "Great Gram Popper") today!!

Gram & Ben

The Emmas :)

Gram & Her Boys

Party of 5!!!

Back in August, Ben drew a really cute picture of our swingset along with various people. I of course wasn't sure exactly who the people were so I had him "explain it" to me. His explanation was: "there's Gaga, Papa, Nana, Ben, Emma, Daddy, Mommy and the Baby"~I said "what baby?" Ben said "our baby that will be here in July".....

Well, Ben was RIGHT!??! I am pregnant, and I am due the end of July!! We are all really excited!! Emma can't wait to be a Big Sister and when we told Ben he said "My dreams came true"~How sweet is that!?!? We are looking forward to being a party of 5 and we won't be finding out the gender til the baby gets here. ~ Since this is my last, I want to be surprised ;)

GO BUCKS!!!
