3D/4D Ultrasound

We went and had a 3D/4D ultrasound today of Baby Patton#2. As far as gender goes....we saw nothing for those of you who are wondering. The guy doing the ultrasound was very careful to not put the little wand up where the feet were. I was right though....baby has moved...head down now. I have been feeling a lot of kicking on my upper right side. And I felt the baby hiccup the other day and I felt those real low in my belly...so I knew the head was down there. The place we went to have the ultrasound was really great. They had a plasma screen hanging on the wall...it had to be 50" plus....and lots of couches where family members to get comfy. My parents weren't here but viewed online real time. Gotta love technology. They saw the whole ultrasound and everything we said from their computer in AL. Anyway....seeing the baby makes me SO ready now for him/her to make its big arrival. We still have a bit to wait though.......

10 year high school reunion

So, this past weekend we went to AL for my 10 year high school reunion. It was so fun seeing everyone again. (Left to Right: Me, Tracey, Marty, Maggie, Becca (in the back), Zach, and Gina.)

Our dinner table (minus Stephen, he got chopped out of the pic).

3 tall girls + heels = a very short Bethany. I really miss these girls. Trae (to my left) currently lives in Auburn, but is about to move to Peachtree City, GA. Gina (to my right) lives in Michigan. Maggie (far right) lives in TN. All good friends in high school, played ball together....and at one point, I lived with each of these girls in college. Miss y'all...we need to get together more often!

Group shot from our reunion picnic Saturday afternoon. It was great seeing old classmates along with their kiddos.

Group shot from our reunion dinner. I went to a small private school and my graduating class was only around 40, so we almost had 50% turnout.

AL weekend

My aunt Myra and Allie playing outside. Aunt Myra headed back to CA today....I know Allie will be looking for her next time we make it to AL.

Me and Grandma Dot.

Meet little Hollis Watson. He was so teeny tiny!

Another pic of Hollis.

Me and my huge pregnant belly at 7 months....with Hollis' daddy, Zach.

Arts and Crafts

The next 3 pictures crack me up. Partly because our arts and crafts are so pathetic....and partly because Allie cannot say "cheese" without making ridiculous faces. Please don't judge our crafts too much...we had to make due with what we had...and I am just not as crafty as I thought.



This is the better of the 3....The Lion.

Ummm...suppose to be a cow...that needs a haircut.

Not sure what exactly this turned out to be. Allie added the peice of tape running down its back and positioned the eyes.

Pool Day

I did have to add buckets of hot water in the pool, but Allie enjoyed her first swim day of the season. She played and played and played. I felt a little bit guilty as I sat watching her filing my nails, sipping on koolaid.....when my phone rang, and Stephen was talking about how busy he was at work. Thanks for letting me stay home with her babe!

This was before she tracked 10 lbs of grass in the water...

Our friends came over to hang out....while Elizabeth didn't dig the pool too much, she did enjoy the hotdogs we grilled. The child at 2 1/2 hot dogs! Look at her....we were all shocked. She is only 16 months old.

Enjoying Spring

The weather has been beautiful lately and we been taking advantage of it. Allie got this sandbox last year and she still loves playing in it.

La la land.
Helping daddy wash the car....Stephen would get the car all rinsed off and Allie would take a soapy sponge and run it all around the car.

She especially enjoys anything dealing with water.

Saying "cheese". I always thought when you say cheese you smile in the process....not Allie. She looks like she is yelling at somebody.

26 weeks

I've had requests to see pictures of my belly. Here I am at 26 weeks. Enjoy, because before too long, I will refuse to post of pic of myself. The other day the baby and I were playing.....I would push in on my belly and I will feel a thump. Then I would move my hand and push in on another area on my belly and the baby would thump where I just pushed. I still think its a boy in there!
