Garrison now rolls from his back to his belly!! Yay for him!!!! =)

Garrison just ROLLED OVER for the first time (officially!) hehe!!!! (He did a couple times on the bed while we were in KY, too!!) He is 5 and a half months old, and 22 pounds. (He's a little lug!! hehe) He reminds me sooooo much of Lincoln in basically everything, cracks me up!

Happy 11th Birthday to my very special neice, Janessa!!!! You are the one who started it all.... you are the one who made me "Nanny" so for that alone you will always have a special place in my heart!! I hope today is as special as you are, kiddo!! I love you!!

Started weight watchers yesterday and as of this morning.... I am down 2 pounds!!! woot!!!! (it's actually more like 1 and a half, but either way, I'm excited!!!) I had planned on doing the shred to lose my final 20 pounds.... but since Jariah and Becca had the flood and had to move into Mom and Dads living room about a month ago.... I haven't had the space to workout!!! 5 kids take up alot of room!!! haha Soon they should be able to move back downstairs and things should start getting back to "normal"~~~~ as normal as things can be living with my parents!! lol

Our house building project is taking absolutely forever to get started.... I'm assured that once we begin it will be a quick process (I'll believe it when I see it! haha!) but the weather has not cooperated so far!!! The ground has either been completely frozen 3 feet deep or such a big soupy muddy mess that it's impossible to dig in. Zion's gotta get some trenches dug for plumbing then we can finally get the gravel, some pecs (for radiant heating) and finally the concrete. Once we get the concrete, it's supposed to be smooth sailing..... from what I've been told. (Again, I'll believe it when I see it. =P I grew up in a construction family in a house that we were building as we were living there..... I'm not as naive as people seem to think I am. ;) haha) Once we get it started, I'll be posting pictures of it on a regular basis!! =) But for now, here's a couple pictures some of the men in my life. =D

Here are the pictures of the Lexington Explorium I promised!! Not in any particular order.... =)

One of the water features they have.... he loved getting wet!!! hehe

but it was nothing compared to the bubble room!!!!

Making crafts was also alot of fun... he made 3 masterpieces!!!

He LOVED the glitter station in particular!!!

He fell off the ladybug stool and smeared glittery glue all over his head.... I took a picture. ;)

Bubble room fun!!Giant Piano... good times. Driving a shuttle.... I'm impressed with how far he went!!! ;)

Prehistoric Dinosaurs!!! WOW!!!

Big Legos=Big Fun!!!!

Coloring a chalk horse.... hey, it's Kentucky, EVERYTHING's a horse!!!! =D
I'm actually not sure what this little building is supposed to be... looks like a TNT storage facility from Little House times to me.... but I dunno. Either way, Lincoln loved it!!! =)

There was a couple cool little water features there.

Giant Teeth.... he's pointing at his teeth. =)

Well I had a great day yesterday! Zion was off for like the first full day since he came to Kentucky (except when he came to Ohio while I was having Garrison!) and we got to go out on the town with him!! We went to the Lexington Explorium with Lincoln and Garrison, Lincoln had a blast!!! He got to run around and see all kinds of really fun cool things like playing in the Bubble room, sitting on a lifesize horse statue, building a tower with some giant legos and making a couple of craft pages complete with glitter and glue!! (Pictures to come later)

After that we went out to eat at Applebees for supper!! When we got home, Zion and I got the boys to sleep then we played a game of Battleship.... I haven't played in YEARS!! (Zion won) It was actually alot of fun, I should play dumb games like that more often!! hahaha

Then, to top the night off when we while we were playing, I got a text saying that Elisabeth was admitted into the hospital to have her baby!!!! Very exciting!!!
