Maci's 5th Birthday!

We went to Hamburg for Maci's 5th birthday and boy did we have fun!!  The girls got to play in the water and the adults (minus me because I'm pregnant) got to play on the BIG inflatable water slide.  This was the first time the girls REALLY played in the water without rafts.

Havin' Fun

Random short post with a couple of pictures of the girls making different uses for toys and baskets.  They are getting very creative as they get older and it's quite funny.

On this day, Hannah decided that they music table could be used as a seat/car...

And Hayley decided to empty the toys from the toy basket and use it as her seat/car... 

Love these girls SO much!!



Auntie Seana, Auntie Dani & Jake Visit!

When we got back from Mima's house we had some visitors come for the night/day.  Seana, Dani and Jake came for a fun play date and EXCITING news!  Jake is a week older than the girls and we hadn't seen them so we celebrated the kids birthdays.  And, Seana announced that she is pregnant!!  So, just like Dani and I went through our pregnancies together Seana and I will be doing the same thing.  We are a week apart, just like Dani and I were...WEIRD I KNOW!  You know I got some fun pictures of the trip...

The next morning we decided to go to the Boardwalk and ride the carousel.

Me and Hannah.  She did NOT like it at all so right after this picture, we had to sit on the boring bench... 

It was a short fast trip for them but we are SO glad they came to visit and we had time to just play and enjoy the company before football started!!



Visit to Mima's!

For a week in August, the girls and I went to my mom's (Mima) house for a few days to visit before the Cossey household was tied down with football.  We did a lot in those few days!
Thursday night, we went to an indoor fun park with Morgan and Gyvonne.

Since I'm pregnant, I couldn't ride anything else so this is how the girls stayed entertained...

Then, Morgan and Mima rode the race cars (Gyvonne was too small)...

On Saturday, we went over to Uncle Jerry and Aunt B's house to swim and meet Baby Grace!!

Baby Grace is my cousin's baby that was born 364 days after the girls (July 1).

Me and Baby Grace...

On Sunday, The girls, Mima and I met Nannie and Papaw at the Dallas World Aquarium for a day of fun...

Hayley is ready to go...

Hannah is too...

The girls loved looking at this waterfall. It was so pretty.

It's hard to see but this is an otter and the girls REALLY loved looking at him.

Look at that cute smile.  Looking at turtles...

Running like a mad woman...

Looking at some fish...Well, really talking to a strange man...

I tried to get a good picture of them together sitting in the tunnel of fish.
This is the best I could get.  They were a little distracted by all the fish everywhere.

This is what they were looking at...

We also tried to get a good shot with Mima and this is the best one we could get...

Nannie and Papaw with the girls after a fun day seeing all the animals and fish.

After we left the aquarium, we went to eat lunch at El Fenix...YUMMY! Then, the girls and I headed home.  We had to get back and get ready for the fun filled week ahead with football starting!!!

Baby 3 on the way!!

We found out on July 25th we are expecting Baby Cossey number 3!!  It was a shock since it took over 2 years to get pregnant with the girls and only one month this time!!  Mima took the girls for the weekend so CR and I could finally get some stuff (painting and organizing) done around the house.  We have been on the go every weekend since we moved to Haughton, LA (a month ago).  So, we painted (with oil based paint...oops) and updated some parts of the house (took down wallpaper) over the weekend and on Sunday afternoon, I was cleaning/unpacking some more stuff in the Master bath.  While, doing that I found a pregnancy test and thought, "What the heck?"  Sure enough, before the 3 three minutes were up there were TWO lines!!  I was SHOCKED to say the least.  I went to the living room (CR was taking a nap) and put the test in his hand and jumped on the couch (he was in his chair).  In just a few seconds, he woke up and couldn't figure out what was in his hand but when he did he SHOT up out of the chair saying, "ARE YOU SERIOUS? IS THIS WHAT I THINK IT IS?"  Me just shaking my head (still in shock) he noticed that the lines were blue and with the girls the lines were pink so he thought "Boy!"  I told him that doesn't matter at all, it's just the type of test.  Anyway, we then had to get ready to meet mom and get the girls.  We met her for dinner and gave her a thank you card for keeping the girls and signed it "CR, MJ, Hannah, Hayley & Baby Cossey (due March 2011).  She was just as shocked as we were!!  We made her promise to keep a secret until we could tell his family the next weekend. 

Fast forward to the next weekend (July 30-August 1).  It's the Cossey vacation (we had it here in Louisiana since there are so many babies this year we decided it would be best not to take them all out to the lake).  I had shirts made for the girls to wear that said "Future Big Sister" on them to wear when they showed up.  Here they are in the car on the way...

We tried to get a good pic of the girls in their shirts...

Then, a few weeks later after doctor appointment's to send out cards to everyone.  On the front it said, " We just wanted you to know..." (With this picture on it)

The inside read, "And we are SO excited!" (With this picture)... 

We can't wait until November when we find out if baby is a boy or girl!!
