I have a lot to catch up on my blog! A week or so ago my brother got married so we packed up and headed to Boise for the wedding. The wedding was fantastic! My brother married a cute girl who we have gotten to know over the past 6 months and we are excited to have her as a part of our family. After spending a few days in Boise, we had to send Paul back home so he could go back to work, but the boys and I stayed another week or so in Boise. We had a GREAT time. We went to parks, slip n’ slided, went to Eagle Island, went bowling, went boating, hung out with some old friends, and of course spent the majority of the time with my family. The boys had so much fun with their grandparents, Aunt Shantay, Uncle Sam and their cousins, who used to live here and now live in Boise. I guess they are technically my cousins, but they are closer in age to my kids. We also were able to celebrate Jackson’s 5th Birthday, but I am going to save that for another blog. Here are some fun pictures of our trip to Boise! (there are a lot of pictures)

We have hit the halfway mark in the pregnancy! I can’t believe how fast it has gone by. So far I am feeling great, and baby is doing well. We have had a few requests for a belly shot, so here you go!
Jackson graduated from preschool last week, and his teacher had them put on a cute little program. The kids told us all about the things they learned this past year, and sang the cutest little songs. Then Miss Denise, the teacher told us a little about each kid as she handed them their certificate of graduation. We were told that Jackson’s favorite color is yellow, his favorite food is chicken, and he wants to be a “builder of towers” when he grows up. He has enjoyed preschool with Miss Denise this past year and we are so proud of all that he has accomplished. I can’t believe he starts kindergarten in 2 months!!!
We had our official ultrasound today, and we expecting, for sure, a healthy baby boy! We couldn’t be more excited!! I would post some pictures but the ultrasound tech did not take that great of pictures. October 15 is still our due date and he is growing right on schedule. We think he is going to look like Eli but of course we won’t know until he arrives. Yay for 3 boys!!!
As I previously mentioned, T-Ball is in full swing at our house. On Wed I remembered to bring our camara and take some pictures. Here are my baseball boys!

I love the expression on his face!
another Eli hit (he loves to wear the batting helmets)
So I admit to not being good about updating my blog lately, but as I tell my husband, my days are running the same right now so I don’t feel the need to update. We are all doing well, although we have been battling head colds this past week. Eli has been hit the hardest. He has never been so stuffy ever. He is pretty funny about it. He is constantly wiping his nose. Jackson’s eyes have been gooping like crazy, but I feel confident that we are going to be on the mend soon. I blame the weather. If it wouldn’t keep going warm, cold, warm, cold, it would be easier to stay healthy. I did get lucky in the fact that the boys were hardly sick this past winter, so oh well.
T-Ball started last week and it has been fun, especially since Paul is the coach and the boys are on the same team, and I am able to help out. We are quite the cute little family in our matching hats, and the boys in their matching shirts (Paul included). Paul does a good job as coach especially handling all the little 3 year olds that don’t know what they are doing.
Baby number 3 is doing well. I now have a little bulge in my belly that shows that there is something alive and growing in there. I am 16 weeks along now, and I have actually felt the baby move a few times! I am getting excited for the boys to be able to feel the baby kick and move. They will love it. Our official ultrasound is in 3 weeks and we will know for sure if it is a boy or not. This pregnancy has gotten better as it moved into the second trimester. The first trimester I was pretty sick and not feeling well, hence the non blogging. But I am feeling better now, and will post pictures soon of the adventures we have been having lately.
