The End of the Aquarium







At the end of the aquarium they had this little pool of string rays and bamboo sharks to pet. They were all very safe to touch. They encouraged you to stick your hand in there! :O) Skylar was all for it!!! :O) Gavin and Kotah, not so much! They would stick their hands in there, but then would pull it out when they saw one coming! When we went back later that nite, we got a chance to feed the sting rays. We got Gavin to feed one, but then he wouldn't touch one again, or stick his hand in the water! I actually touched them and fed one! What a weird feeling that was! They feel like moss and when you feed them, it feels like a vacuum cleaner. They suck the food right out of your hand! (Of course, I had to touch a shrimp, wasn't too sure about that, I am not so much into fish and worms.. I have a boy, I know, better get used to it! :O)) I didn't get the "full" vacuum cleaner sucking effect, but got enough! It was weird! But fun!!!! Kotah still didn't touch one. I got Gavin to touch one, we flung a web at one, but in order to do that, we had to stick our hands in the water, so I took his hand and SHOVED it in the water! He loved it!!! But he wanted me to do it with him every time after that! I even got him to touch the bamboo shark! Those are kinda rough, a little bit like sand paper, but yet kinda soft. Gavin was so excited that he touched the shark, he went over to the guy that was working there and said I TOUCHED A SHARK!!!!! The guy said give me five, and he gave him a sticker that said I touched a shark! It was too cute!!! The guy knew and saw we were trying to get the kids to touch them, so when one of them actually touched the rays and shark, he was excited for them! :O) The only reason we went back that nite was because Kotah was crying on the way back to the hotel, saying she wanted to touch the sting ray. We knew that even if we went back she wouldn't touch it, but thought, why not? It was only 10 minutes from the hotel. So, we went back, and she didn't touch them. Oh well... Maybe next time?

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
