Fossil Fun

It's been longer than usual since I updated my blog, so here are a couple of pictures that were on my camera. We gave Kason a shark tooth fossil brick for Christmas, and he had a BLAST chipping away at the brick of sand and finding 4 shark teeth and a full shark jaw. Getting started
Found that first shark tooth

Check out that serious concentration!

Found the jaw



Mom helped the most, but dad helped a little. The fossil kit came with Kason's safety goggles. Tige's are 3-D glasses from seeing Avatar. I didn't use safety googles for a few minutes, but quickly got a piece of sand in my eye, so they were essential.

The top jaw! So cool!

My sweet friend sent my kids a couple of pairs of matching pajamas from her kids with about the same age spread. Abby has decided she will no longer sit stil for a picture, so after about 20 pictures, this was the best one I could get. Some days I wonder where my sweet angel baby went. She's into all sorts of mischief, and she knows it--she turns and runs when she has something she knows she shouldn't have. She's also started clenching her fists and shaking & screaming to throw tantrums. Heaven help me when the new baby comes.
Speaking of new baby, I can feel him/her/it moving. I'm 16 weeks today, and have been able to feel movement for about a week, only at night when I'm laying really still in bed. I didn't feel Kason move until really late because I didn't know what it would feel like. With Abby, I thought I felt her move a little earlier, but wasn't sure because it had been a long time. This one, I'm positive. I love feeling baby move--in my opinion it's the only good part of being pregnant.

Kason & a friend playing. They were sitting in Kason's bed eating apples and reading a huge, thick book about fish. I just thought it was so cute for 2 kindergartners to eat apples and read books!


Kason is my fabulous helper! And Abby, my bottomless-pit, very good eater.

i love the picture of Kasson and his tongue. Dennis does the same thing it must come from the taylor family.

I am remembering your family in my prayers about the passing of your grandpa George may it be easier for all .

Oh, I know you'll think I'm crazy, but I miss being pregnant! Your comment about feeling the baby move reminds me of those days and I miss them! I'm glad you found one good thing about being pregnant when you're always so sick! And your kids are so cute and growing up so fast. They'll be great helpers with the next one :)

I love how Kason concentrates! I am still laughing to myself because I know what you have in store with Miss Abby and the next one! I agree the baby moving is really awesome, until your at the end of your pregnancy.

Love the safety goggles! I bet Kason was really entertaining while he was working on that fossil rock.
