It's a Girl!

We are pleased to announce that we are expecting a girl in February. We were pleasantly suprised! All is healthy and well. Joshua is taking some convincing that he would like a little sister. He said if we named her Wendy it might be ok, so Wendy is not my first choice but maybe he can call her that!

PS this is not a shot of our little girl, but it looked really similar I was too lazy to scan it in.

Playing at the Arboretum

We played at the Arboretum last week with a friend. We even gave in and bought a pass. It is so fun to see the Fall stuff coming out. They were lining up the pumpkins and setting up the hay bails! I am so excited for Fall! The kids had a great time. They played hard and we all got a little pink by the end of the day. We also got a little wet, in the fountain by the end as well. :)

Bowling, football, and Floating

We had a great weekend. On Friday we went out with our friends and went bowling and played games. It was a good time! I did horrible bowling but the company was good! On Saturday we watched football! Yeah, we love football. We went to a friends house to watch football since we do not have cable. Michael invited himself over for a game ;) We had a good time watching the kids play and watching the game.

On Monday we went to Lake Lavon and took out our new raft. We had a blast. We got a little sun, but it wasn't too hot, just hot enough. :)

Dallin was a little nervous to walk in the mud so the only way I could get him in the water was to carry him until we got in the middle of the water where he felt safe. He hated the feeling of mud between his toes.

Joshua showed no fear with the boat. He even told me he wanted to row, so I let him do it. We had a good time riding the wake of the motor boats buzzing by.

Michael had a blast on the raft. We finally got Dallin to take a little ride. It took some convincing but he did it only after he didn't touch any mud to get into the raft. We also brought some friends with us and had a yummy barbecue. We had a great time with our friends and new raft and of course Aunt Jenny!
