Ultrasound Pictures!!!

On Monday we went in for our 20 week ultrasound!! The tech was very nice and answered all of our questions and was very patient with Mark:) It was so neat because they have a TV on the wall to watch the ultrasound now so we got to see the whole thing! She pointed everything out to us and let us know that everything looked really good. She also could tell within a few minutes what sex the baby was. As for getting good pictures that proved a little more difficult. The baby kept putting his or her arms up in front of his or her face! Little stinker! At the end she let us know that the baby is about 15 ounces right now! She also put my due date at Nov. 15th, so pretty close to what the doctor said! We are now halfway through the pregnancy!!!This is a shot of the baby's hand and one eye peeking out over the top!
This was a shot of the baby's face and then below you can see it's tummy and ribs. She was lucky to get this shot of the face.

LEGOLand!!!!

We were down in Chicagoland earlier this week to work in Grandpa's house! JJ and I decided to sneak away for a few hours and go check out LegoLand!!! Of course we were on our way when I realized that I had forgotten the camera back at Grandpa's house!! Luckily they took photos of the kids on the dragon ride they have there. So for ten bucks I bought a copy (YIKES!). But it was a very fun place and the next time we go I am going to make sure I take the camera!


Our Newest Adventure...Circus World!

We were off to the Circus World this morning!! We had received some free passes from a friend that expired today so it was a last minute adventure! The weather was nice and the boys had a fun time!JJ and Ben enjoyed trying out the hands-on circus acts! Ben wanted to try the tightrope out..but he found it more fun to crawl around on the mats!
I knew I was in trouble when I saw the train table! Ben loves anything that has wheels nowadays, so the train table was up his alley! Thankfully I was able to get him to move along without any tears:)

The boys are checking out one of the old clown cars in one of the museum buildings.

This was one thing we kept going back to time and again! It is an old stock car from the circus train. Ben loved climbing up the ramp and walking around inside.

The thing is he really doesn't need the costume!!

The boys are enjoying a snack while we wait for the big top show to start!

This was JJ's favorite part of the show! He loved the clown and laughed so loud and hard (just like his dad would) that I swore he was going to pee his pants!!!
