Its a Boy

We had our ultrasound done this last week and the baby is healthy and growing right on schedule. We are going to be adding a third boy to the family and we are excited, he will fit right in around here. Zander took the news better then expected and is okay with having another little brother. Here is a profile picture of our new addition.

Surprise

It has been so long since I have last blogged. I know I am a slacker. This summer has been very busy and eventful. We are happy to annouce that we will soon become a family a five. We had a bit of a surprise come our way but we are excited. I went to the Doctor the other day and the baby looks great. They did an ultrasound and the whole time the baby was waving and moving all around. I was a little surprised that you could see so much detail. I didn't realize that the baby already had arms and fingers. It is almost completely developed it just needs time to grow. I always feel so amazed with this whole process. They moved my due date up because the baby was bigger then expected which was fine with me. I am due May 5, 2010! Here is a picture of the baby, I couldn't get it to come out as clear as it is in the original picture. Oh well you can still see a little bit.

Boy's Room

So I finally decided that it was time to decorate the kids bedroom. I have been wanting to decorate since we moved but I kept telling myself to wait until we moved the boys in the same room so I would only have to do it once and could save money in the long run. Well it finally happened Treyson decided that he was to big to sleep in a baby bed and that he wanted to sleep in Zander's room with him. I was actually excited because I think that they will do better sharing a room. I went out and started the search for bunk beds. I decided I wanted bunk beds that had the drawers under them. Any way to ad more storage without taking up much room is wonderful. Well I looked all around town and ended up getting an awesome deal that was excatly what I wanted. They had messed up in the catalog and put the wrong price down so the place called the manufactorer and asked they said that it was in there and it was their bad so they would honor that price. Needless to say I got the bed for about half the cost of all the other ones and we love them. Once I found the bunk beds and ordered them I started looking for bedding to go with them. That was a lot easier then I had anticipated and it all just fell into place. I love their room and the sports theme I chose. I made the curtains and the Name Signs. I thought eveything turned out really cute. I went to a craft store with my sister and got a few ideas but decided that I could do it for way cheaper so I gave it a try and I think they turned out pretty good. I have a few more vinyl lettering signs that I need to do but my laptop has been out of commission. I am hoping to get them done the week. Brandon did a great job hangging everything up for me. He has been so busy at work I had to have him do it this weekend so it would be done before he went back to work, he was a good sport and did today.

Camping with the family

We have had a lot of fun this summer camping with family and friends. Most weekends if Brandon isn't working we take off and go camping. We were able to go with my family a few weekends ago. We had a lot of fun as soon as we found a camp site that wasn't full. The boys are in their element and if they had the choice we wouldn't come home. While camping the boys found a trail on the side of the mountain and they ran up and down the thing all day long. That is one good thing about camping they sleep really well at night because they are always really tired. Brandon enjoys staying busy so he built a huge cabin to light on fire. The flames got so high I was sure we were going to get a ticket or something. It was fun and we have been able to ejoy our trailer and spend time as a family.

A Day at the Zoo

Well I guess I shouldn't just say a day at the zoo, because everyday at our house seems like a zoo. I had to go up for a day of work in IF and so my sister and her boys came along to visit with the rest of the family. They had a great time while I was working. All of the kids went to Andrea's softball game, and then to Shannon's to play on the big water slide and then the zoo. What a day they were all so exhausted on the way home we didn't hear a peep.

More Water Fun

We had fun playing with our cousins in the water again. They had a great big pool this time, and Zander found out that he could reach the bottom. They had hours of fun. Treyson wasn't sure if he wanted to actually get in the water because it was freezing.

Summer Fun

We decided that we needed to get out of the house and have a little fun in the warm weather. My sister and her boys invited us to come have a day of fun in the water. We had so much fun, the boys loved playing with their cousins and loved the swimming pool and slide.
