We are excited to announce that #3 is a boy. Today we attended our much anticipated ultra sound, and here is a picture of our little bundle. This little guy just might be a snuggler too, his little body was right against mine and I have been feeling him move a lot, Ross has even felt him kick. How fun it is to say him, he, and brother rather than it and the baby. 
Dallin continues to grow and change but one thing has remained the same, his love for jelly beans. There were two things on his wish list this year, 1 being a gun, and 2 being jelly beans. We had a lot of fun making his cake into the #4 and then decorating it with all the colors in the rainbow as he would say. One of the things Dallin is the most excited about now that he is 4 is starting preschool. 
Two nights ago we put Reed to bed in Dallin's room. He was so excited and to our surprise he never tried to climb out of bed once. We've had two wonderful nights and one great nap in the 'big bed' now. Wouldn't it be great if potty training went this well, that is next on my to do list before the baby is born. The real reason for this post is to share the behind the scene moment. After tucking the boys in for the night I turned the light off, closed the door, and sat beside the door - just waiting to say "go to bed boys". I should have had more faith, instead I leaned my ear against the door to hear Dallin get out of bed and pull the blind back, he said, "it's dark Reed, you see that star, I hope your dreams come true, lets go to sleep." I could hardly believe it! I must be a little sappy because I started to cry and Ross looked at me like I was crazy, of course I had to tell him what happened and we both sat by the door hoping for more, but not a peep, they both were asleep before we knew it. Boys I love you so much, thanks for being such wonderful brothers!
It is official, Ross's siblings are all married now and living in ID and AZ. After Beth and Wayne's wedding we got together for a picture while everyone was still in town. It has been such a blessing to marry into a wonderful family..jpg)

Dallin and I had a Mother Son Date you could say to the traveling circus last weekend. This was the BEST part!
The boys and I took a trip to Neola to visit my parents for a few days. We had a wonderful time and the boys did extremely well traveling, especially considering that our portable DVD player is out of commission and we currently only have a.m. radio in the car. The boys loved playing outside, and that's where we spent most of our time. They loved riding on the tractor and playing with Uncle Luke. We were able to see my sister Julie and her hubby Russ, Missy's family, my Grandmother who I love so much, and my good friend Terri and her new baby Jensen. It was such a wonderful trip. Thanks to a good husband that lets us abandon him on occasion. Mom and I tried to get some fun pics of the boys but they weren't so excited to cooperate, as soon as Dallin realized that he was walking through cow 'poop' it was drama central, not to mention the swarm of gnats and getting too up close with the horses for the boys. Luckily we snapped a few cute shots of them not looking at the camera, maybe next time!
We discovered that even though July weather is wonderful the pool is still cold in the morning hours. Sorry boys, next year we'll plan for some afternoon classes. Reed wasn't much of a fan I have to say, although he loved jumping off the side of the pool. Dallin had a fun time and still walks along the walls in our home saying he has his spider glue on and is practicing staying close to the edge. This little boy has little fear of the water and was thrilled when he got to jump off the diving board the last day.
