Sherri brought Jackson's a birthday cookie cake to celebrate his arrival - thanks, Sherri!

Jacob, one of Tyler and Jackson's cousins, was in town for Cousins Camp hosted by Nina and Bubba! The timing couldn't have been better!

It just so happened that Grandma Fern was in town for the big event - neat!

Nina sure enjoyed seeing her fourth grandson for the first time!

Bubba was the first to visit our new addition!

What a beautiful boy!

We were induced at 6:30 a.m. and had Jackson at 11:52 a.m. - we'll take it!

There's our new little bundle of joy, JC!

Jackson Caleb Uptain was born at 11:52 a.m. on Tuesday, June 17th, 2008! He weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz. and was 20 inches long! We are delighted with our precious new addition!

Here's a neat rock bridge that we found at the Japanese Tea Garden.

Here is Mission Conception, which we saw our last day - neat!

This is one of the beautiful homes we saw in the King William Historic District! I especially love the swing hanging WAY down from the tall tree on the right - aahhhh!

We had originally planned on going out to a wildflower farm in Fredricksburg, but the flowers weren't blooming yet. So, we were thrilled to find a whole wildflower area at the SA Botanical Gardens dedicated to wildflowers in the hill country, and to see so many blooming - what a treat!

I LOVED all these flowers in bloom at the SA Botanical Gardens!

We loved the purple blooms on the tree behind Scott - aahhhh!

Here are some beautiful desert roses - wow!

They had some beautiful, HUGE hibiscus flowers in the conservatory as well!

We got to see some really beautiful orchids in the conservatory of the San Antonio Botanical Gardens! And, no, Professor Plum was not killed in THIS conservatory with the rope!

With us being at Mission San Jose just a week after Easter, a lot of the decorations were still up - neat!

Peek a boo!

We attended a Mariachi mass while we were at Mission San Jose, which was very interesting. Jackson really liked the Mariachi music, kicking like crazy when the trumpets kicked in especially - funny!

One of the missions we went to is Mission San Jose. We went on a 45-minute walking tour that was very good and interesting.

Do you like my new outfit???

This picture cracked us up with the giraffe's mouth so funny!

For some reason, I was one of the main attractions at the petting zoo area! The light-colored goat came and ripped the bag of food I had out of my hand, not for the food but the paper bag it came in! The goat at my feet is actually chewing on my shoelaces while the black and white goat licked the back of my knee. Wild!

The ostriches and emus scared us the most, that's for sure! One car behind us threw their entire bag of food out the window trying to get one to leave them alone!

These zebras were our favorites! And, boy, were we their favorites too! Do you think our food had anything to do with it?!

Up close and personal!

Here's some horseplay we saw while at the park... Or ox-like animal play! :)

We went to the Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch for Scott's birthday! It's a place where the animals roam freely while you drive through, feeding them from your car. It was a lot of fun!

Yes, Scott can do some crazy poses too! I'd like to think that's due to my influence, but I think he's been secretly silly all the time! :)

We also saw a neat ski show - a first for me (Rochelle)!

The show was excellent! We weren't in the "splash zone"; so, we managed to stay dry!

Why is it that EVERY Sea World has a Shamu???

The Shamu "Believe" show was really excellent!

Yeah, I HAD to mimic this sea lion... But, I DIDN'T eat the fish, promise!

We also went to San Antonio's Sea World, which was a lot of fun! This sea lion show was kind of like a drama - well done!

Here's a night shot of the Riverwalk!

One night we ate at the Spaghetti Warehouse, which was pretty good! The old style decor in there was even better though!

In an hour's time, the revolving restaurant makes one complete circle - neat!

We managed to get some decent pictures of San Antonio from the Tower of Americas!

Here we are after eating our expensive Tower of Americas desserts - yum!

One evening we ate dessert at the top of the Tower of Americas, a VERY TALL tower with a revolving restaurant at the top. You can't get a feel for how tall this tower really is - it's 750 feet tall!

We ate at Joe's Crab Shack one night, which made me happy (I LOVE crab legs)!

And, of course, we must "Remember the Alamo"! We watched an IMAX film on the Alamo and then did a 45-minute tour at the Alamo itself (both were excellent).

We went on a boat tour through the Riverwalk area that we really enjoyed!

I really "blossomed" this past week with my pregnancy - wow! We're at 27 weeks and counting!

We just LOVED the beautiful Riverwalk downtown!

Scott and I recently celebrated our 7-year anniversary by going on a week-long trip to San Antonio! We stayed at the Bonner House Bed & Breakfast, which we really enjoyed!
