IT'S A........

ANOTHER BOY!!!!! Yes, we are in fact going to have a little boy! We were all shocked when the doctor told us, Justin I think more than any of us. He was "sure" it was a girl. I was secretly hoping for a girl, just so Mackenzie could have a sister, and so I could dress her in those adorable clothes! But, I have my girl, and I everything is great! Mackenzie at first was a little sad, but as I put her to bed tonight I asked her again if she was okay with having another brother, and she said yes! It actually helps the whole bedroom situation at our house for it to be a boy, I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do if it was a girl. For those of you who have been to my house, its quite small, and the bedrooms are even smaller. So, now a little less stress in that matter. The baby looks great and weighs 1 whole pound! Here are some pretty bad quality pics, yes they are a picture of a picture, still no scanner yet. Not a great one of his face, but look at those arms and adorable ear! Showing us his muscles already! We are very excited and now I can start shopping and getting things more ready.

Camping in Donnelly

No matter where we are, there is always a baseball session
Roasting marshmallows! Gavin just loves Jaydon, and he is kind of a little clone of him as well The 3 musketeers painting pine cones!
We went to Donnelly for a few days with the Miller's. We stayed in Mike's aunt and uncle's cabin. It was quite small inside, but it was so much better than a tent. It was right by the lake and so beautiful! Camping is getting more fun, but its still hard with little ones especially at night! They did pretty good the whole trip, but after 3 days and 2 nights, I am always the one who is ready to head home! Thanks Stacey and Mike for inviting us to come with you!

Boating on Cascade Lake

These three girls are so cute when they are together! They all fit in the tube, and were so excited to get to go out all together!
The entire drive there, Gavin kept saying "Mike's boat" like 30 times, and he loved it! Stacey and Michaela taking their turn on the tube Gavin actually wanted to take a turn as well....he did pretty good! We had so much fun riding on Mike's boat! I love just sitting there and looking at the scenery. I did have to take Gavin out on the tube, but we went slow enough it wasn't bad...so those of you who are freaking out that I went out, relax!!!

Serious water time!

Gavin was just loving the water. The cabin we stayed in was just above the lake, so of course Gavin spent as much time as we would let him down there! Michaela and Gavin looking adorable in their life jackets! Kind of looks like a mini surf board eh? The water was pretty shallow and so warm, perfect for swimming Testing out his little surf board, over and over actually
