Slacker!

Wow, I am horrible at updating this blog of mine! So it has been a few months.... We found out we are having another little boy!! Kirt and I had decided that we did not want to find out what we were having (since we finally have one of each)! The ultrasound day came and the Tech asked while walking down the hall if we wanted to find out, I looked at Kirt and could just tell that he was dying to know so we said yes. Well they started the ultrasound and the first picture that came up on the screen was this little man's exterior plumbing. So, even if we had stuck with the plan and said "no we don't want to find out," there was no way of not knowing. We are so excited to be having a little boy! And Jake just loves his baby brother already! He will come up and lay his head on my stomach and talk to him. The other day he told him "baby brother, hurry, shoot basketball, hurry!" When Jake feels the baby moving he thinks he is giving him "five." The first time this happened Jake was so excited that he looked up with this huge smile and said "baby brother give me five!" He then made a fist and punched me in the stomach and I said "Jake, what are you doing?" He replied "baby brother knuckles!" I had to tell him that no baby brother can only give five right now! I absolutely love it and I'm so excited for the bond these two will have!

While on the subject of Jake he just turned 2 the first of the month! I can not believe how fast time goes by. This little guy is so much fun and I am so thankful that he is in our lives! He is so sweet and tender-hearted (much to his father's dismay) but we wouldn't change a thing about him! He loves basketball (go figure)! Every morning when he wakes up he goes in and shoots the basketball, and I dare say he spends 1/2 his day shooting things into the basketball hoop. At night when we are trying to get him to go to bed he cries "shoot basketball, shoot basketball." Many nights he even sleeps with his basketball, so this thrills his dad more than anything! He loves to read books, play trains, and watch Dinosaur Train and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse! He is so fun and we love every minute with him!


The girls are busy with school and just being girls! They help around the house so much and are so fun to be around! Some days I don't understand how they can be so emotional, but what would girls be without emotion, right?! Shaylee has had the most off the wall questions lately like "Mom, did Heavenly Father make our bones with dinosaur bones?" Um, no... She is so funny and I just love listening to her talk! Kaitlyn comes home everyday from school soaked from the waste down. It is an absolute joke. I think that the puddles at recess have a magnetic pull towards her and she can not stay out of them. You can actually dump water out of her boots when she gets home. So I am praying Spring will get here soon so she can start coming home dry!

Well, there is a little update for you! Hopefully I will do better in the future!
