It's a ....

BOY!!! I knew it all along! Kyle really thought it was a girl, but mommy knows best! It is still measuring big (1 to 2 weeks ahead of schedule) ~ just like his 9 lb, 23 1/2 inch long - 2 week early brother! Everything looked great - except for the frightning 3D picture of his face! It is still way to early to look at this jumbled yellow blubber mess! Frightning....

Thanks to everyone who has been praying and thinking about us! Tried to go shopping Chey-Anne and Tracy, but Hollyhocks was closed by the time we left the dr....bummer!!! I will be going soon! Love you guys!

Well...

Where do I start?

1. My baby is three! This fills me with SO many different feelings. It is such a fun time to be his mommy, but it is also very challenging - like any of you moms don't know this! It also makes me super sad to think the past three years have flown by - and are only going to go faster with a new one on the way! Happy birthday Moose! Mommy loves you! Now, what do I do with all of the millions of toys he received from Christmas and his birthday????

2. New one...well, lets just say "it" is stubborn already! At my 16 week checkup, I had full intentions of finding out what it was. Everything worked against me doing so! It was breech, legs were crossed, umbilical chord was right in between the legs, and it was squirming like crazy! Needless to say, no boy parts were spotted, but we could not rule anything out! We don't care what we have and will be excited with either a boy part or a girl part, but the planner in me is going crazy!!! The good news...heart rate was great, it was growing, and it was moving all around - which I can feel sometimes! SO GREAT! I love being pregnant...even when I have to throw up!

3. Kyle has only 5 games left! We have had a great season - other than all the tally marks in the "L" category! Great meaning...the team has shown lots of improvement, Kyle has learned so much, and we sat through many of the games without drama (Holton and I, that is)!!! He did a great job, but I must say, the DVD player sure helps out the matter! I am proud of Kyle for showing integrity, teaching his kids life long lessons, and for persevering through a lot of difficult situations. I am proud to be the crazy wife, who screams at the refs, and supports the team at the games!

4. I DREAD uploading the pictures from the camera...so words will have to work for now! I will post later...

5. Thanks be to God who has answered so many prayers for our family...my mom in particular! The lumps in her breast do not appear to be breast cancer...big sigh!!!

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us! Hooray for the snow delay tomorrow!

"I have two babies in my belly!"

These are the words Holton said after mommy told him she had a baby in her belly. Yes, that's right, a baby in my belly!!! Holton can have two if he wants, but mommy and daddy are pleased to have just one more coming (hopefully)!

We found out on November 3rd, when I came home to a postitive pregnancy test I had left on the side of the tub! I have taken so many lately that I didn't even check it before I left for school. When I returned home and went to the potty, I was pleasantly surprised to find two lines! Holton and I rushed to Target for more tests to confirm the confirmed pregnancy test before Kyle got home from work. The next day, I went to have my blood work and urine test done and it was verified on Wednesday. Then it was time to spread the news to all of our family members - and now hopefully everyone knows! It has already been a whirlwind!

We wanted to let Holton break the news, so we had him dress as a construction worker -thanks to the Glover family in my class who gave Holton the cutest apron!!! Then, his name tag said "Big Brother Holton" and the work order said:

Job: Hendrix Family Add-On
Job Site: Lubbock, TX
Completion Date: July 15, 2009

It was pretty cute and he had fun doing it!

Now, I ask for each of you to pray for me and my growing baby - that we will be healthy, safe, and rested!

We are SO thrilled though to have another addition into our family!

Black Out Texas!!!

GO RED RAIDERS!!!

Can you believe this football season? I have always been a HUGE Tech fan, but this year, even more so! Kyle and I had so much fun rooting our favorite team beat Texas! BTW, I loved dressing in black - go figure!!!

Tailgating Fun ~

Inside the Jones...

We love the Madrid's!

This still gives me the chills! We were emotionally drained!!! WOW!!! GO TECH!!!

Happy Halloween!!!

Holton finally understood what Halloween was about this year~Trick-or-Treating. We had SO much fun! If you know Holton, you know he is CRAZY about golf and we found the cutest costume for him. He was Payne Stewart and loved every minute of it! We traveled all over west Texas, but it was great to see all of our family and share some Halloween spirit with everyone! Enjoy the pics...

Finally...

Finally I am going to post another entry! Where do I start???

Well, this weekend, I ran in my first 5K! I had the opportunity to run with Cooper vs. Cancer in Race for the Cure. My goal was to finish without walking (which I knew would be somewhat challenging since my running buddy off and left me this summer). But, I did it!!! It was such a great feeling to cross the finish line! I will have to admit that I was rather nervous about this for many reasons. One, I am SO out of shape and 10 pounds heavier since the last time I ran this far. Two, I haven't competed in a running event since eighth grade track...WOW!!! And last, I am so clumsy that I just knew I would end up on the news falling on one of the other 7,000 runners!!! But I didn't even fall ~ surprise! It was a great accomplishment for me!

Next, we have been extremely busy since school started. I am sure we are the only ones... ha ha! It just seems so much worse this year. We are never home, yet when we are home, I am so busy picking up after my little whirlwind. Why even have a house cleaner? My house is wrecked 30 minutes after she leaves. Sorry Yolanda!!!

Back to school...it has been SO great! I have a precious class of 24 kindergarteners. That makes me exhausted just to think about. But they really are the cutest kids ever! Kyle is getting geared up for basketball season, which means...so am I! I will be a single mommy again for another 5 months. But, we really enjoy it. I mean, how can you not enjoy watching your husband turn 87 shades of red, pace up and down the sideline, and yell at the top of his lungs? All the while, chasing a two and half year old in the bleachers and taking him back and forth to the disgusting bathroom. (And did I mention, when he gets home, he recaps all the things that frustrated him?) Thank GOD for all of our family fans that come to help out! Truly, I really do like being a coaches wife...seriously! I am so proud of Kyle!

Holton has been doing GREAT!!! He is officially potty trained ~ which makes me SO proud! Everyone always said boys took longer to get potty trained, but he has done so good! We went to the fair, which he LOVED! He is a thrill seeker and rode everything - for little kids that is! He also ate EVERYTHING!!! Which brings me to his new favorite food...SHRIMP!!! Who would have thought that a 2 year old would want to eat shrimp? He eats everything! He is doing great in school (other than putting pom poms and rocks in his nose and Kung Fu'ing his classmates). His teachers seem to love him, but I think it is because I have to spoil them for putting up with his craziness! He is such a punkin'!

Speaking of pumpkins, I am so glad Fall is here!!! LOVE IT!!!

Now...somebody better leave a comment after all of this ranting!!! Bye for now ;)
