If you didn"t know already........

I'm having a GIRL. That's right i know i couldn't believe it either. I actually get to buy things that are pink and frilly. We are so excited. Baby is healthy and growing. We are half way through. Let's hope the other half goes quicker then the first half. If you have cute girls names send them our way because we have no clue what to name this kid. Sorry i was going to show ultra sound pictures but i am technically challenged so this is all you get. Have fun getting ready for Christmas!

Christmas is coming!

So life has been good. Thanksgiving was wonderful. Food and Family, what more could you want. We are super excited for the Christmas season. We have just been up to the usual. As for me, i am doing good. The baby is movin' and growin'. I am finally done with the sick phase (an early Christmas present for me). Here are some pictures of what we have been up to.

Spending a lot of time in the snow.

Hanging out with cousin Zach.

This is Bentley in a nutshell. You can never turn him off.

Mr. Personality. Lincoln has totally started coming out of his shell. He is pretty funny. He watches TV in these glasses. As for the picture below. You are totally warm as long as you have your slippers on.

Here we go again!

Well i am proud to announce that we are expecting another little monster to our family. I am currently 15 weeks pregnant and due the end of April. Yes i have been sick. Yes i have been tired. Yes i am getting fat. Yes i have forgotten how much i do not like being pregnant. But it is all worth it in the end :). So i really don't care what i am having, i just want it to be healthy. Chad and the boys want another boy. We'll find out soon enough. So that is the news. Let's hope i feel better soon.

Happy Halloweek!

Well we celebrated Halloween all week. Bentley got to go to 3 Halloween parties. Lucky Kid. They loved the holiday and are already talking about next Halloween. I love eating all the candy they got.

Here they are getting ready to trick-or-treat in the rain.

We went to a pumpkin patch with the boys. Lets face it, they were more into the tractors then the pumpkins.

Grandma Larsen's Halloween party. This is only half the cousins i couldn't fit all of them in the picture. There is just too many.

Grandma Glover's Halloween party.

I love the fall.

I love the cooler air, the leaves changing, the pumpkins, the smells, the colors, you name it i love it. Fall is just soo nice. We have been hanging out, doing the same thing. Here are some pictures of us at Gardener Village. So fun, but too crowded. The boys loved the witches.

Cousin Emma came over and we were so happy to see her in her Halloween shirt.

We got to see cousins Jackson and Dylan play football. They even won for us, good job boys!

Even though i am with them all day, they still love Dad the most.

For conference we got to go to Grandma and Grandpa Larsen's cabin. It was nice to hang out with cousins.

September

Well it came and went. Really i don't remember it being here. So we had a great fast month. The picture above is the boys jumping on the tramp while we sprayed them with a hose. They thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Bentley started preschool. He loves it and so do i.

Kids these days

We finally finished our front yard, hooray! This is the boys playing in a dump truck load of rocks. They were in heaven. Now i just want my plants to grow, grow, grow.

Lincoln is 2!!

Well my baby turned 2. His birthday was on Sunday so we didn't get to do anything super fun. He did open lots of presents thanks to the grandparents and he did do the whole birthday cake thing with his cousins. We just love this kid. He is so dang cute. He loves his Mom and Dad which we love. He is a great sleeper. He is a go getter and loves to help me around the house. He isn't the best talker yet but he gets his point across. He definitely can put up a good fight against his brother. We are so lucky to have Lincoln in our lives. We love you bud. Happy Birthday!

The end of SUMMER

I'm sad to say summer for our house has ended. Bentley starts preschool next week. We have had a great summer. We just recently went to This is the Place Park. It was soo much fun. There was so much for the boys to do. Train rides, horse rides, petting zoo, plenty of old houses to go into. We had a great time. As you can see from all the pictures.

This picture doesn't do it justice. Bentley face planted on the coffee table. Huge goose bump, then later 2 black eyes. If they would just learn how to be still.

The boys wearing our shoes. Bentley calls my boots his fireman shoes. No more tank tops for them.

Chad's work had a work party at the Real stadium. It was all the free concession food you could eat. Yes i ate until i was sick. They had games and fun stuff going on. Then when it got dark they played a movie on the mega scene. Really fun and best of all free.

Well i guess it's back to business. Farewell Summer until we meet again.

Bentley turned 4!!!

It is official my first born is growing up. Bentley had a great Birthday. He opened presents, got to go to Boon Docks for miniature golf and and go-carts, he got to ride in Uncle Ryan's Mini Cooper, did the whole birthday cake thing. Plus he got to eat at his favorite restaurant, Carl's Jr. Bentley is such a a happy kid. He is so friendly to everyone. He is very tender hearted. He loves cars, books, riding his bike and most of all Mini-Coopers. Chad got him this mini while he was in Anaheim for work at the Disney Shops. You could build your own. Bentley loves it and takes it everywhere. Bentley is a smart kid who has way too much energy. When he wakes up in the morning he is ready to go. We just love Bentley and are so blessed to have such a healthy happy boy. Happy 4th Birthday Bud.

His birthday cake with cousins. It has a tank on it. Of all the cakes he could choose from he wanted this one. (who knows why)

Present time.

Uncle Ryan and his mini. Bentley loves that thing. (plus Uncle Ryan) Every time we go to Grandmas he has to check it out. We took him and Linc for a birthday ride. They were in heaven.

Waiting in line for go-carts. Poor Linc wanted to ride soo bad but wasn't tall enough. I'm pretty sure Chad likes them as much as Bentley. He was totally messing with some teenager the whole time. Boys never grow up do they.

Miniature golf, i'm pretty sure my boys are still too young for this. They lost interest half way through. I found out i am the worst golfer ever.

August is here!

We are trying to end the summer with a bang. We have been doing lots of fun things.
- We had a sleepover at Grandma's cabin with the cousins. Lots of fun.
- We went to Boon Docks and road the cars and played video games.
-We went to Cowabunga Bay. My new favorite water park. We are totally getting a pass there next year. Anyone want to join me?
-We went to Thanksgiving Point: The Farm and Dinosaur Museum
-We went to Discovery Gateway with the cousins (i forgot my camera so no pictures of that one)
-Finally we are still working on our yard (i know we are slow) it should be done by next month.
Hope you are all having a great summer too!!

All the cousins at the cabin.

Boon Docks. Bentley's new favorite place. He wants to go back for his birthday. I'm pretty sure the go-carts has something to do with it.

Cowabunga Bay!

Chad had to till mulch into our awesome clay dirt. It started to rain hard and he kept going.

Ridin horses at the farm. Bentley loved it. Lincoln got scared and wouldn't do it.

Gotta love the Dino's
