July Birthdays

This has been a mile stone month for the girls. Sam is offically out of primary. She in now in Young Women's and is enjoying it. I was able to go in and talk about her to the other Young Women kind of an introduction for her. I tried to embarrass her but didn't do a very good job.

We ended up going to the Georgia Aqurarium on Sam's birthday. It was the only time we could meet with everyone. We went with Alex's parents and his cousin with her husband. We all had a great time seeing all the different kinds of fish. We even had the opprotunity to pet stingrays and sharks. The girls loved the dolphin show alot. To me it was kinda cheesey because of the singing. I really wasn't expecting to see a dolphin musical.

Later on that day we went out to dinner and gave Sam her present from Alex and I. It was great to see the look on her face when she opened up her Ipod touch. This is the only thing she got but she was totally surprised we got her something she wanted. Ususally this is a "No" present.

We didn't do as much on Ashley's birthday. Mostly because I was feeling not so good. She was excited about what she was going to be getting since Sam got the Ipod so she went to bed way early the night before. Because of that she woke me up at 6:30 am so she could open her present. I told her to go back to bed and leave me alone. After a while we all got up and let her open her present. It to was an Ipod touch. Since she turned 13 (i know it is scary to have a teenager now) she is able to have a facebook page. We had to teach her some things about posting online. She did get a little crazy the first day. Later on that day we all went out for BBQ and then I took the girls to see a movie that Ashley wanted to see. All in all I say they both had a good birthday.


Baby Update:

Well I am now 11 1/2 weeks. I have my first OB appointment this week. They will be doing a ultrasound to see how far along I am and to see if there is more than one. I know this sounds crazy but both Alex and I want twins. We have been disussing girl names but can't agree on any. We already know what the name is if it is a boy. I hope that Alex will let me go to a place to find out what it is in a couple of weeks. He doesn't want me to pay for some thing the Army will do for free but I don't want to have to wait that long.

I will try to keep this updated as much as I can.
