More soccer pictures

We had a make up game on Tues night, so I thought I'd share some pics. She is so loving soccer.



we have butterflies!

We got Jess one of these for her birthday. We have watched them since they were little bitty caterpillars, & now all 5 have come out of there cocoon as butterflies. Here's some pics







These are the neatest things.

Only 4 days of work left...

and I'm really going to miss it. I think it's going to be a LONG summer. Jessica isn't going to be doing gymnastics this summer because it gets really crazy at the gym w/all the school age kids there. So, that's really the only consistant thing we had last summer. So, I'm not sure what we'll be doing this summer. Jess is going to start swimming lessons sometime this month. I'm not sure how she'll do though. She's pretty intimidated by water now. She used to not have any problems, but when went in the pool in Branson, she seemed really scared. I don't really have friends that live close to me, now that we've moved. So, I'm just going to have to figure something out. Any thoughts?!?

just for Penny

Ok, here's a picture w/me in it. LOL This was taken at the Titanic museum (obviously). :D

We had a great weekend

We went to Branson over the weekend & had a blast. We went for Jessica's b-day because she kept saying she wanted to ride a roller coaster. Well, she got to. On Fri we went to the Titanic Museum. It was a lot of fun, but definitely overpriced. Just about everything was overpriced, but I guess you have to expect that. After that, we went to The Track Dh & Jess rode go carts & bumper boats w/my nephews & sister-in-law. They had so much fun. Sat we did a little shopping & then went to Celebration City We saw a Veggie Tales show & Jess road the rides. We went on a log ride that Jess absolutely loved. Sun we went to the Butterfly Palace. It was so neat. At the beginning there was a 3-D movie that watched to see how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. Well, when the butteflies emerged, it looked like they were flying right at us & Jessica was trying to grab them lol It was the cutest thing. Then we went into the buttefly garden. It was so cool. Jess had a butterfly land right on her. Then we went to Silver Dollar City We went on a water ride & Jess got a face full of water, which she didn't like, but then when the ride was over she said let's go again. She also got to ride her first roller coaster which she absolutely loved! LOL She is so not afraid of rides which is great! We left Branson on Mon & went back to my parent's house & came home yesterday. I have tons of pics & I'll post them when I get them uploaded.
