Belly Painting Pics

Belly Painting

I have decided I want to have some pictures taken of me while I am pregnant. I wanted to do this with my last pregnancy but did not want to go to a public place and expose my bare belly. We have a close friend who takes pictures and I approached him about doing the pictures and he said he would love to. In the mean time he has a friend who wants to paint pregnant bellies and they asked if I would like for her to paint mine. What a great idea! So, last night I went to her house and sat for her while she used my belly as her canvas. What a great experience! I did not really know what to expect but I was amazed at what a great job she did! She was able to do two different pictures and they are both fantastic! We decided to get together again later when I get bigger and she what she can do.

I am also going to wait until I get bigger and have some pictures taken with Aaron and the boys without a painted belly. I figure this is my last pregnancy and I am going to take advantage of this opportunity!

A Day Out!






I decided I wanted to take the boys to do something fun before school starts. I decided to take them to the museum while it is in the Cowgirl Hall of Fame, and was talking to mom about it the other day. We decided to take the kids on a day that she had the girls. So we loaded up in my car and took off for Ft Worth. When we got there somehow Riley got it in his mind that it was going to have animals. What a big disappointment for him. After we cleared that up he wanted to know where all the cowboy stuff was. We had to explain to him that it was only about cowgirls! On the way home we stopped in Lake Worth and ate at Chick-fil-a and let the kids play for a little bit. In the end everyone seemed to have a good time including Riley. I told the boys we would go to the "big" museum once they were finished working on it. I think they were wanting to see the dinosaurs!
