Summer 2010

This summer has been busy. We enrolled Aiden in T-ball which he liked. We also went camping in Yellowstone National Park.

T-Ball: Aiden liked this much better than playing soccer. You don't have to be as aggressive ;)

Hitting the Ball

Camping-- Yellowstone is the coolest place to camp. We spent two nights in the North loop of the park. The first day that we were there the high was 40 degrees and it snowed that night. This was good though because it brought all the animals out. Overall, we saw three black bears, a momma grizzly and her cubs, and uncountable elk, deer and buffalo.

I had a furry little friend that came and stayed by us in the evenings. I liked him but Aiden wasn't so sure about him when he laid down about 20 feet from our tent

Our family--Ignore the random people in the background

New Baby!

So two weeks ago we had an ultrasound to see how the baby was and if it was a boy or girl. We we lucky to see that it was a girl but measuring small so we really could not see anything else. We went in again today to get the complete ultrasound done. Everything looks great! Its a girl! She is measuring small but they decided to keep the same due date of October 24th.

The only thing that they did say is that she looks like she has clubfoot, on both feet. They couldn't really see it too well but even before the ultrasound tech said anything Christopher and I both thought that she looked like she had clubfoot. Thank goodness it is an easy fix and well, we have done it before!

PS After I scan so pictures I will add them!

Bunk Beds!

Our children have been bugging us for bunk beds since the beginning of the year. I saw a plans for bunk beds on a website called knock off wood( knockoffwood.blogspot.com) and I thought that it would be cool to make some. Thus began our 3 month journey with our bunks beds.

We did make them from scratch and they turned out really nice. I still see a ton of flaws and the color isn't exactly what I was thinking. But I do really like them! And I think they are the sturdiest bunk beds I have ever been on :)

It's offical!

We are pregnant! Or I guess that I am! I am about 11 weeks along and felling good. It was fun to tell the kids because they have really wanted a baby in our family, and they actually get it! I have been felling pretty good but a little tired :)

Here are the official pics of the little one. If you are ultrasound tech you might be able to tell what they show!

How Aiden spells Hunter....

Aiden has really started to understand the concept of words and spelling. He only has a few words memorized like his name, last name and his favorite....Avatar. Yesterday he was playing around and made up a new way to spell Hunter....A-S-#. Yes, you spell Hunter just like a donkey. It was the funniest thing! We could not stop laughing ;)

on a side note...we did explain that A-S-# spells a naughty word and we should not spell it.

THAT kind of chair...

I went out to lunch yesterday with Christopher's mom and Nana. I asked Hunter what kind of chair she wanted, meaning a high chair or a regular chair. She points to the table next to us and told me that she wanted that chair. I thought that she wanted the high chair, but she corrected me. She pointed again to the table next to us and said she wanted THAT kind of chair. I looked closer and there was an older women in a wheelchair. She thought it was the coolest thing to have a chair with wheels!

I love that girl.
