Jenna's Snow Woman! Started out as a group project and then she was left behind to finish. Did I mention it was only about 5 degrees out! brrrrrr

Madelyn in her own little world of dress-ups! She was playing school and she was the teacher. She has a fabulous imagination! I love these glasses they have no lenses in them. My kids LOVE them.

Kaitlyn for some reason you are never too old to eat snow!

I can only hope that they abide by the "don't eat yellow snow rule" !

It must be good! I love Madelyn's face! Yummy:)

Our handsome little man. Dallin 2 Months old getting ready for church.

Pam this one's for you!! GO CARDS!! I found this outfit before madelyn was born at a yard sale in Kentucky. Finally someone to wear it. Although he is so slippery in it you can hardly hang on to him, kind of like the football this year.........

Baby Update

So you might have noticed I took my baby ticker off. I have a weird phobia! I will post pictures after we have had our not so little guy!

By these pictures of our ultrasound you can tell he is quite a chunk!! Weighing in at 5lbs 15 oz already!

I just love how full his cheeks are, and look at those sausage fingers! He would't put his hand down.

The things they say.....

So the other night the girls were all tucked into ONE room. (No one wants to share a room with a BOY!) The conversation went like this:

Kaitlyn: Holding your middle finger up is so bad! It is like the worst bad word ever.

Jenna: Is it worse than littering?  (WHAT?)

Kaitlyn : Yeah, way worse....

Long pause

Jenna: Is it worse than tattoos that are permanent? 

Kaitlyn: (getting slightly annoyed) YES Jenna

Pause again

Jenna: I bet it isn't worse than getting surgery on your neck!!  

Kaitlyn: (really annoyed this time!) Jenna I don't know.......

Apparently we take littering VERY serious around here, but not as serious as surgery on your neck!!! I couldn't stop laughing it was such a random conversation! I love my girls.

As were driving the other day we had just left one of the hospitals. We were trying to decide which hospital we are delivering our baby at. Madelyn asked if they had a toy room at the other hospital. I told her I didn't know if there was a toy room or not. Then she said " Well Toys just make me comfortable!" WOW that is a big word. It was so cute and so funny. 

Surprises

Surprise!! We are having a BABY! We waited until we knew what we were having to tell our families. (Thinking another girl was on the way, and we would draw out to the excitement that way!)

Surprise it's a BOY! 

We are still a little unsure how to coordinate the color BLUE with all the pink we have going on but I think we will manage. 

The girls have been cute no one wanted to share a room with a BOY! So we have piled them all into one room and they LOVE it! They are all very excited, and can't wait to put those little maternal instincts to work.(poor little guy doesn't stand a chance with all the little mommy's we have in this house.) Fortunately they will be back in school when he arrives. Whew! 

Family Reunion

We just got back from a camping trip to Palisades Reservoir with my family. It is on the border of Idaho and Wyoming and about an hour from Jackson hole!
It was so beautiful I am hoping to get some pictures soon. For some reason our camera is not wanting to share what it has inside!
It was a long drive (about 6 1/2 hours) but well worth it. We stayed 3 nights and about 2 1/2 days. the first Day it rained. No wait it POURED! Just as we thought the rain was done it poured some more and then began to HAIL!! Fortunate for us we purchased our tent in Kentucky where rain is normal. So I think our tent was the only one completely DRY!! My poor brother duck taped, tarp ed and duck taped some more, just in time for it to be dry the rest of the trip! While it was raining we decided to run up to Jackson Hole just to escape the rain for a while! (Not much to do in the rain with 26 people.)
Saturday was gorgeous! So much so, we all came home sun burnt, I think we were just trying to dry out. The reservoir was so high from all the rain there wasn't any beach at all to play on. We played on loose boat docks, caught minnows, and rode on Grandma's boat. Followed by more boat rides, playing with cousins and just hanging out.
The nights got pretty chilly in the 40's, (either that or I got spoiled in Kentucky) I spent my night covering kids and putting them back on air mattresses, along with listening to all the nocturnal THINGS bustling through our camp! The last night we were there our air mattress popped at 4:00am! Our Tent was on a very rocky surface mixed with 2 large bodies and the cheapest air mattress you can buy! (A Lethal Combination!) Joe leaned over after I just crawled in bed again after covering up kiddo's to say he "wouldn't make a very good pioneer." It was freezing out! Just as he rolled over the whole seam broke and we found ourselves on the ground, with the rocks, within seconds. It was hard not to laugh, but extremely hard to get comfy too!!
Sunday was pack up day and heading home. We decided to drive through Yellowstone since it was on the way. We didn't see a whole lot since it was the middle of the day. Most of the animals are out early in the morning or at dusk. We did see buffalo, trumpeter swans, deer, bald eagle's and pelican's! unfortunately we had to cruise on through so we could get home. As it was we got in about 9:30 pm. Just in time to throw our kiddos in the shower and take one ourselves. You can see where my priorities are, since my car is still unpacked and I am blogging! Thanks family for a great weekend and lots of fun memories!!
