School

Erin started preschool at the end of Aug and has been loving it.


I am afraid Lily misses her terribly though while she is at school. So today Lily came up with a brilliant idea. I was up stairs and heard Lily come up and say "school". I turned around and this is what I saw.
She is to dang cute.

Boy or Girl

Just a quick update. We had our ultrasound on friday. The baby is wonderfully healthy and well. I was amazed at how far ultrasound technology has come just since Lily's. Best part was I didn't have to have a full bladder (all you moms understand). Best they looked and the lips and nose and could tell that there was no cleft lip/pallet etc. I thought that was amazing. Well I will stop rambling and tell you what you really want to know. It is a GIRL. Yep girl #3. I guess we just know how to make perfect beautiful girls.

Disappearing Act

I know it seems I have disappeared. It sure feels like I have. As many of you know I am pregnant. My due date is Feb 9th. (the day after Erin turns 5!) We are excited and a little afraid of having 3 children. Erin has said she wants a girl baby, when we told her that we kinda wanted a boy baby she decided that we would have both a girl and a boy baby (Thankfully only one heart beat was found) but this morning Erin informed us that she likes boys now and would like a boy baby. I guess we just have to wait and see. Anyways I thought I would let you know. I will update again when I don't feel like an alien invasion is happening within my body.

June's Joys

What fun the Month of June is. It has always been one of my favorite (probably because that's when school got out and its my b-day), but I love this month for many other reasons too. This June has lived up to my expectations, here are some of the things I love.
1: Roses. I have 8 beautiful rose bushes and they are so beautiful this time of year.

2- Gardens. I got my first vegetable garden planted this year and I am way excited.

3- Little Lily. She turned 2 this month. She is getting so big(in her mind at least) and just dang cute. I love my little Lil.

Her b-day cake was a ball. Balls are her favorite thing in the world.

4- Family vacations. my whole family( Mom, Dad all my siblings etc) went to Yellowstone. It was a blast. We stopped by bear world in Idaho as well.

Mammoth hot springs was a bit of a hike(which Lily did by herself). But it sure was beautiful.

This is artist paintpots. I found pools of red, orange, green and blue. (Another little hike that Lily did too.)

I sure have enjoyed June.

Thanks to a wonderful family that made a fun vacation, thanks to Sweet Little Lily for turning 2 and Thanks to my Father in Heaven for beauty and nature all around.
