It's a GIRL!

I had my ultrasound on Monday and we found out that we are having a girl!!! We are all so excited! It is a good thing too, Isabelle told me the other day, "Mommy, if the baby is a boy I am sleeping with you so I don't have to sleep alone anymore."
I am glad she won't have to sleep alone any more.

It looks like she has a little pointy chin like my other kids, but I can already tell a little bit of difference from the others.

Also, this week I had to take a pic of a zucchini from our garden. It is huge!! Zucchini bread heaven, here we come. :)

Rachel's Wedding

So, last week we went to Utah for Rob's sister Rachel's wedding. Rob scheduled business appts in Boise, Salt Lake, and Twin Falls for the way back. We NEVER stop on the way to Utah, so this was such a nice break. The kids love going to hotels and it was so nice not to have to drive for so long. I love that Rob can include our family with his work trips and family trips. We are so blessed!!

The first day there my mom took us to a splash park. Who do you think got the most wet?.....


It was so fun to see my cute sister Katie and her kids too. :)The kids loved playing with their cousins.Belly liked climbing the trees, in a dress...
Rachel looked beautiful for her wedding.Rachel got lots of loves from the grandkids, she is so good with them, they all love her.Jake even got a love from Austin! My kids love Jake too!Rachel is so thoughtful. One of the first things she did was let Isabelle hold her bouquet. She really made her day!Here are all the siblings. All 7 of them are now married in the temple.
Rachel was married in the Manti temple. The weather was beautiful.The reception was at a park in Provo. My kids wanted to get down and dirty there. Too bad they were in their nice clothes!Belly and Austin fed some ducks there. There was a little boy there that kept calling Isabelle "Princess" and followed her around. It was really cute.Bob always does a ring ceremony for those who couldn't be in the temple.Their car was a mess. At least they were good humored about it.We went waterskiing on Wendy and Jason's boat over the holiday.
Here Rob is skiing, but the water was really choppy, so it was hard to stay up.Here is Wendy skiing, but she wasn't up for long either.
The girls wanted to go on the tube. Bella got a little nervous. Lindsay could have been out there forever! Check out that smile on her face! :)
At home, Robert found this fun frog on our front portch.Then I went to a Patriot Rally for 9-12 in Vancouver. WE were so lucky we got to have Bob Basso come of YouTube fame doing his famous Thomas Paine speech. He is so inspiring!If you want to know what I am talking about. Here is a link to Bob Basso's video on YouTube.

I heard in Washington D.C. they had almost 2 million! How exciting that so many are in the cause to preserve our liberties and the country that our founding fathers wanted for us.

We find out what we are having tomorrow! (Boy or girl) We will fill you in soon!

Experiments, and party time.

So, I have heard of kids eating butter straight from the counter before, I think I need to be a little more careful now. I left the kitchen for a minute and when I came back Austin was on the counter eating out of the butter container and grabbing handfuls out of the cinnamon and sugar jar! What a mess! What a funny guy!

Isabelle and Clara found some blackberries in our yard. Before I found out, they had gotten the juice everywhere! At least they enjoyed themselves!

I found Austin asleep in Isabelle's room, still holding on to his truck. At least he holds on to what is most important to him no matter what!

My kids had their last soccer game this week. Robert got to be the goalie, his favorite position, alot. Unfortunately I taught Isabelle how to use the camera and she used all my batteries up, so I couldn't take any of her game or her trophy! Here is a sample of her handywork.
Robert had some fun taking his own pictures when the other kids and I took a nap earlier this week...

Bella got to go to a princess party this week.
We also got to go to a birthday party for our friend the Bjorns.

Seattle trip, Enchanted Forest, garden

Ok, so I am getting things a little out of order here. This is from last week. Rob had a business trip in Seattle and for the first time, the whole family got to come! (Since no one was in school) It was so fun! We went and looked at the outside of the space needle.

played around the on the parks around it.We got to go to Pike Market and let the kids each pick something out there.
Next we went to the Science Fiction/Jim Hensen/Jimi Hendrix music experience museum (kind of wierd huh?).

The kids got to perform with some of the muppets there.We got to see Kermit.And the Mana Mana gang.In the Jimi Hendrix museum they had this big display of guitars that went up two levels. The guitars actually played too (some of them).
This is Michael Jackson's jacket and glove.
When we got home, the kids had their first soccer game in the rain. At least Bella scored a goal! Robert did a great job as goalie :)
My Aunt and Uncle invited us to go to the Enchanted Forest with them that Saturday. It was our first experience and the kids loved it.

This is the Hansel and Gretal house.Yes, you could go inside her mouth.

We got a shot with Abraham Lincoln.Here is Lisa, Shelby, Isa and I waiting for the rest to come out of the Haunted House. (They did not like it!)
Isabelle and Austin were so happy to go on the train...
Until Isabelle realized that her jacket was undone and cried the whole time! Just enjoy the ride girlie!
Robert and LydiaSteve's fam, thanks for the great time!Here Rob is showing off his strength with a family friend Spencer.I went to a town hall meeting at the Clark County Fairgrounds. I was amazed at the amount of people there. I arrived an hour and a half early and had hundreds of people in line ahead of me. This was the line in front of me.and behind..We got to taste some food from our garden this week. We had some corn, broccoli, strawberries, and tomatoes, and they actually tasted good! Yea for gardens!
Sorry for the long posts, I was behind!
