Again?!

Most already know this, but since I'm updating the blog I guess I'd better post it. Baby Boy #4 is on his way! We're due March 11th. We had an ultrasound tech tell us at 16 weeks that we were expecting a girl (you can imagine my excitement) only to find out last week at the 20 week scan that it is indeed another boy. I had my heart pretty set on a girl, I mean come on already, I've only spent every day of the past 9 years praying for a daughter, but we sure do love our boys. So we're adjusting to the idea of another little guy around here and saving up so we can afford to feed them all when they turn into teenagers :)



In the meantime we're excited for another little one to join our family no matter boy or girl and know we will love him just as much as the others. Parker especially is excited, he was getting a little worried about what it would be like to have a sister. When the ultrasound showed a boy he was grinning from ear to ear. Give me a few more days and I just might be able to smile about it too.

Boo!

It's cool to just blog once every six months or so right? That's about the schedule we're on, maybe a little more often but oh well.
Tonight we had a great time getting ready to celebrate Halloween. We had our good friends Randy and Janelle and their kids Brinton and Holland over and made haunted gingerbread houses and pumpkin cookies. It was supposed to be for the kids, but I seem to have a little bit of trouble handing over the icing bag to the boys, so they got to help a little. Maybe next year we'll get everyone their own gingerbread house so I won't be so worried about them wrecking mine ;)

Haunted Masterpiece #2 by Janelle, Randy and kids






Clayton loved eating the frosting. It keep him busy and his fingers out of everything else at least most of the time. I think KC likes to just eat it too ;)


We've got a lot more Halloween fun coming up in the next few days so if your really lucky I might just post about those too. But only if I can find the camera cord to charge the dang batteries.

Happy Birthday KC!

Happy Birthday KC! 4 years sure goes fast. KC's birthday was lots of fun. We started the day with some yummy green birthday pancakes, then he got to open his present from us. A giant remote controlled dinosaur. All the boys think it's pretty fun and had a good time figuring it out together.

Then we went to swim lessons and then to the park for a party with friends. We took a bucket of water balloons thinking they would last for awhile but after about 20 secs they were gone. The kids still had fun playing in the water and chasing each other around.

After the party we got to go home and rest not nearly long enough and it was time to go to Chuck E Cheese to party with grandma and grandpa. The kids had lots of fun and we were all worn out by the end of the day.

KC was the cutest birthday boy and loved all the fun and attention that he got. He's already discovered that 4 year olds can buckle their own seat belts, almost put their shoes on without complaining and a few other fun things. Yay for 4!

Family Picture Time!

Back in march I did a trade with a girl I know. Wedding cake for her brothers wedding in exchange for some family pictures. I've only seen this one so far of the family ones, but I think it's pretty cute :) To see more go to http://captivememories.blogspot.com and scroll down till you find us :)
