It's A Baby Girl




We found out tonight that we are having a little baby GIRL!!! I am so excited and can't wait to start decorating the room for a little girl!! Josh thinks that we need to keep the room in camo, but I shot that idea down pretty fast! The boys are really excited to have a little sister and I know that they will be my big helpers and give her lots and lots of loves!

Our New Dog and Trip to California

I have offically become the worlds worst blogger! I use to be so good at updating our blog, but lately I feel as though I just don't have the time or the kids won't stop touching all the buttons, so I just give up! I just downloaded pictures from my camera and decided I had better update our blog right now or it will be another month!

This is our new dog Sugar! She is such a great dog and the boys just love her to bits! I have to tell you that we have not had the best of luck in the dog department, but this time it is working out perfectly! Sugar was given to us by Josh's boss and she is about 4 years old. She has had several litters of pups and is a very mellow dog....which I LOVE!! The kids pull on her tail, take her food away, ram trucks into her, and any other obnoxious thing a little boy could do to a dog! She has never bit them, but just gives them a look of "whatever!" We love her and I am so glad that the boys love her too! I do have to tell you that she was an "inside" dog for awhile and that was not working for me. She sheds so bad and I just couldn't take all the hair and the dog smell! I am much happier now that she is outside!

Last week I went to visit my sister, Carrie, in California! I am so glad that we decided to go because the boys had a great time playing with there cousins! Carrie and I have been without husbands for awhile, but mine finally came home and hers is still gone! I felt so bad because she was without a hubby for Valentine's Day and her birthday, so I decided I would go and visit! We had a great time together and it was great to celebrate her birthday with her! We ended up getting to go to dinner because her neighbor volunteered to watch the kids! We also got a babysitter and went shopping and out to lunch on Saturday! We had a great time together and it was nice to get away! The kids had a great time riding bikes, playing the Wii, playing with all their cousins toys, and going to this really fun play center! They loved sliding down the slide, playing in the balls, finding their way through the maze, and I think just being crazy and silly kids! My sister has some great parks by her house and we took the kids to a couple of them and they loved it! I will say one nice things about California...they really do have great parks! Now, about the pictures of my oldest in a pink tutu and pushing a stroller, his dad about died! I had to take a picture for my son's future dates. He loved playing dress up with Bree and was so good to take good care of all of her babies! I will leave it at that! For Carrie's birthday I took Bruce to Target after school and let him pick out a present and decorations. We had the house all decorated before Carrie got home from picking up Beau from school! I know the kids were excited to do something for their mom and I wanted her to feel special on her birthday! Her husband sent a really yummy cake and I know I enjoyed it a little too much! I am just so happy that I live close enough to visit her every once in awhile! It takes about 51/2 hours without traffic...not too bad!

We had a great time and now we are back home and the boys were really excited to see their daddy...I was too!! For those who are wondering about the pregnancy...we find out tomorrow what we are having! I will be sure and let you all know! I am so excited to find and feel like it has taken forever! Other than getting bigger, not much has changed with the pregnancy! Keep ya posted!



Bree fell asleep and look so cute!

Beau and Ty having fun in the balls!
This is where my kitchen chairs stay unless we are eating! The kids wanted to make a fort under the table! Tag climbs on anything and everything, so the chairs are no longer available for him to use!!
Ty and a friend over to play...they were building forts everywhere!

My cute boys before church! I am not a biased mom or anything!
