Girl!!!!

I just got back from the doctors today. After my 3rd ultrasound, and with lots of wiggling my belly to get the baby to uncross its legs it finally gave us a good peek, I AM HAVING A GIRL. They say girls are shy, I would say more like she is stubborn. I'm getting excited but truly I thought I would be the mom with all the boys. I hope I can handle a girl. I called Paul to tell him and I just cried. Paul kept asking "are you ... happy... that it's a girl." I'm Happy. It's the whole reality of it that I am going to be a mom of a little girl, we are having another baby and we are going to have 3 kids very soon. I am getting ready for the pink frilly things to come my way..

Goggles

Blue

I painted while Paul was gone it only took me 4 days and a gallon and a half of paint. The boys and Razor tryed to help, we are still peeling paint off of everyone. Most of my house is tan and I wanted different so I pick out blue. Happy, Calm, Sky blue. I hope I like blue for a long time. WOW I forgot how hard it is to paint and paint with kids. I was telling my brother in law how I paint every time I am pregnant. he said "You crave Paint and Pickles".

My friend Melissa came over to help me move the bed, rug, and dresser around a very small room. We should have got more help but we did it and it looks great. I can't wait to show Paul.

Cool hair

My brother Nick cut Wyatt's hair into the coolest Mohawk ever. Wyatt loves it. He keeps asking if its still up. I guess he thinks if he bumps his hair it will go back to one length. I don't know what Paul is going to say but I like it and he is crazy about it.

We finally got the boys a new bed. Look how happy they are. Wyatt is on top, Dean on the bottom.

4th of July Rodeo Boys

The 4th of July started off with the Rodeo. We always go with my mom and stepdad, but this year because Paul wasn't in town and Nick had to work, we were able to take Paul's Mom, Dad, Sister and Niece. It was pink night at the Rodeo and so they requested everyone wear Pink (Breast Cancer). My stepdad Gary didn't seem to be happy about that, but he still wore a pink shirt. With the help of everyone the kids were great. The weather couldn't have been better, and the rodeo was just really good. Wyatt loved the last fighting bull and the Wild Man clown act.

The next day we headed for the parade. Mom and Gary had gotten out of bed at 5:30 a.m. just to put our seats out in a perfect place for the kids to have a little room, and to visually see the parade. While I sat and held our spot, Mom and Gary took the boys to the breakfast/carnival. It was great, the boys got fed, and they won lots of prizes and I got to read.

After a very long nap we headed for the fireworks. My mom had been telling me how great the fireworks were and how great their seats were. I didn't believe her until these huge fireworks were right in my lap, it was fantastic and the kids even stayed awake through the entire thing. It was a great 4th of July.

The Park

We went to the park with Champ and baby Kasper

Pool #2

Does this picture off the box look like the same size of pool the boys are in?

we are on pool number two already. I think the boys were sad on how small it turned out. I just have to wait and see what they think of it when it has water.

Palisade 09

We just got back from our Gillespie Family trip. I love Palisade its just south of Manti and it's this little gem in the middle of Utah. They have clean, grassy camp grounds. with a little lake that has a beach to play on and canoe's. Next to this great little place is a 18 hole golf course. That is nice and really fun to play.
The boys love being in a tent. Most of these photos look like we had great weather but it was mostly ruff. wind, wind and more wind. When it wasn't blowing we would run and get our swimsuits on and go play in the water. The boys would catch these little minnows. Dean would hold them for hours.

I tried to capture the wind and bad weather while my nieces were trying to swim with jackets on.

We had to fight the mosquitoes as we played our golf but look we're smiling through it. I think we made the most of our trip. We got to visit with family for a few days and eat good food. I know the boys had a blast and I bet they really didn't notice the weather and bugs. We just hope next year we will have less mosquitoes and more sunny weather.
