We're Having a Girl

For those that don't know - we are having a girl. And of course, we are ecstatic. The pregnancy has gone really well so far. I am now 22 weeks and feeling great. I seem to be having a bit more energy lately. The house is almost always clean, I made insane amounts of freezer jam yesterday and I am in the process of canning a few months worth of food storage. I am sure it won't last forever, so I better take advantage while I can. We have not decided on a name yet. Ellie is still my favorite, but we have a bit of time. I cannot wait to decorate for a girl - I love pink and brown together - and we are going to go with polka dots and stripes. Send any cute ideas you have - I can always use the help!

Tyler and Brady

We took this picture as we were walking out the door to church. They are growing up so fast. My little missionaries!

My Birthday

My wonderful husband and friends threw me a surprise birthday party. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for the party Jared and thanks for the great cake Mary Ann!

More Beach Fun

Before we headed back home we went to a marine park that had a fun dolphin and sea lion show, among other things. Tyler got to go up and help with the dolphin show - he made them dance and spin in circles. After that we went to an outdoor mall to grab some food and found the fun bungee trampoline. Tyler had a blast!

Beach Break

Jared had a break in between semesters - so we took three days to go to the beach before my Relay for Life event. Our hotel was amazing. It was right on the beach and had a little water park areas for kids. The room had an amazing view of the ocean. The weather was perfect - not too hot. We really had a great time. Our boys love the water. Tyler even starting swimming on his own (with a vest). We hope to visit here again before we leave Florida.
