It's a.......

Boy!!! Today I had my Ultrasound and we found out that we are having a boy! I am so excited! I really wanted a boy so that our family would be even. Everything looks good with the baby. Here is the proof!

A Little Catch Up

I have been so bad at blogging lately. I really need to get better. For those of you who don't know I am pregnant. I am due on June 25th and I will be having my Ultrasound on February 2nd to find out what we are having. Every December we take the kids to The Quilted Bear to see the reindeer. They only have 2 of the reindeer there and "Santa" told us that he brought Vixen and Prancer. The kids all loved to see the reindeer and I also think it is a lot of fun.

Christmas was good and it was nice having Dave in town during the month of December. Now he is working out of town again and I am hoping that he will be local again soon. We sure miss him.

Next Monday I will be putting a poll up on my blog to give all of you to vote on whether I am having a boy or girl, so be thinking about it. I will keep you updated on that after my Ultrasound. I promise to try to be a better blogger!!!

A Scary Experience

Yesterday I was driving home on I-15 from a Doctor's Appointment. Between the 106th and the 123rd S. freeway exit I felt the car jar and I knew something was wrong. I pulled over to the shoulder thinking I just had a flat tire. I got out of the car and looked at it and found that it wasn't a flat, it was a blowout. The tire was shredded. I had no idea what to do. I got back into my car and and sat there for about 5 minutes or so hoping someone would pull over to help me. No one did. I called my dad at work but he had to leave soon to go and teach a class. He suggested that I call Jamie and have Jamie call Brian so that Brian could come and help me out. He said that Brian could leave work whenever and help me. I called Jamie and then she called Brian. When Jamie called me back she said that Brian would be there in about 10 minutes. I also called Mindy who was watching Emma and Reagan and let her know what had happened. She had to work last night and I wanted her to know that I should be there to pick them up with plenty of time to get to work. Brian came and changed the tire for me. While he was changing the tire an Incident Management truck came by and helped him out.

In no time they had the spare tire put on and I was on my way. Brian had me pull over in a parking lot and tightened the lugnuts a little bit more. Then I went and picked up Emma and Reagan and then Landon. This morning I went and bought 2 new tires for the car. Now everything is back to normal. Here is a picture of the tire.

My Son: The Author/Illustrator

A couple of weeks ago I was cleaning Landon's bedroom and I came across a little book. It was made by him and was not something he did at school. It was just something that he did on his own. I read it and I thought it was really cute and knew right then that it was something that I was going to be blogging. So here is the story. I will show the pictures and then translate. I think I know what they all say except for one of them. Anyway here it goes!!!

Title Page Translation: The Mermaid. Pretty self-explanatory.

Translation: "Mermaids like to Splash"

Translation: This is the one I am not too sure of. I think it says something about "Mermaids like to something in the water." If anyone has any ideas let me know. I just asked Landon what it said and he said: "Mermaids like to Jump out of the water."

Translation: "Mermaids like to swim."

Translation: "Mermaids like to fall in love."

Translation: "Mermaids like to Sleep."

Translation: "Mermaids like to Kiss."

Translation: "Mermaids like to get Married."

Maybe he will be a great Children's book Author and Illustrator someday!!!
