Science Center

We finally made our first trip to the science center. Jacob had been wanting to go for a long time to see the Star Trek exhibit that was there. We decided in the fall to wait until Alethea was born so she could experience it with us. We had been waiting and waiting until she got older to go, and got lucky enough to find a Groupon for the exhibit! We were able to get buy 1 get 1 free and had a great time.

The science center is FREE so we spent some time exploring the entire place before heading to the Star Trek exhibit. The St. Louis science center is AWESOME! Anyone who has kids should defiantly go check it out for a day of FREE fun. It is a fun place for all ages, from toddlers to adults! There are lots of different areas to explore and lots of fun things to do. Anyways, back to the Star Trek Exhibit.  I am not a Star Trek fan, and was just going to the exhibit for Jacob, but I ended up enjoying it. They didn't have as much "stuff" as Jacob would have liked, but it was really neat to see different items from the movie. Needless to say, I got an entire lesson on Star Trek movies in about an hour. Crash Course to say the least.  We had a ton of fun at the exhibit. Some of the things they had were: cast scripts from the movies, actual clothing used, telecommunication devices and models of the ships. It was a great time spent as a family. We were unfortunately not able to take pictures due to copyright but have some other pictures from the science center.

These were posted all over the Science Center- this was posted especially for my sisters!

And...

And....

the semester is almost over!! Only 2 days of classes left and 2 exams then I will have my hubby home for 3 weeks!!! Yay!! Can you say "time to tackle the to do list"! (oh and apply to some jobs)

Alethea is starting to crawl!! No she is not crawling on her knees but she is defiantly moving. She scoots all around and gets up on her hands and knees and starts rocking. My prediction is she will be crawling constantly by the end of the month. Not sure if I am ready for this yet... Its so nice to just set her down and know she can't move (far), but not anymore

The biggest news.... I have a job!! yay!! This is something that we have been praying for for months! God provided at just the right time (Jacob's job is done for the summer). I am so thrilled that God provided this job for me at just the right time. I will be watching 2 girls 3 or 4 days a week. I will be able to take my sweet Alethea with me, which is a HUGE blessing!! So starting on the 14th, I will be babysitting a 2 year old, 10month old and 7 month old! It will be crazy but so much fun!! I can't wait!!

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!
