Boy or Girl????

We will let you know in about 4 & 1/2 months...

Finally a little time to play!

During the months of April, May and June I wasn't feeling so hot. Just found out we were pregnant and was queezy from morning til night, exhausted and not willing to put forth much effort. Then my time in July through the 1st week of August was filled by doing rodeo stuff...marketing, advertising, collecting potential sponsors and organizing. So now that all that is over I have really felt like I've neglected Kambell and Kinlee...and Kasey. So we have made a fun week out of this one. On Tuesday we went to Lakeview Park in Nampa. It's a great water park for little kids. We ended up running into our friend Steph and her two little kids there. The girls spent the afternoon splashing and screaming. I'm not a water person (that is putting it lightly) so I was awfully proud of myself for accomplishing the day at the water park. So much fun was had that I forgot to take pictures so we'll have to go back...

Then today was my 20 week ultrasound appointment. Kasey had to fly to Salt Lake so he couldn't make the appointment. The girls were excited to "see" the baby so I brought them along. We made a fun day out of it. We hit the coffee hut first and got yummy treats, then on to the zoo. The entire way there the girls were trying to guess where we were heading. They finally guessed it...as we pulled in to the parking lot. It was like a treasure hunt. We'd see an animal and then rush to the next one fast fast fast. It sure wore them out.

Then we were off to my doctor appointment. Of course, the baby was not cooperating. It's head was tucked down and it wasn't moving a bit. So I had to get up and move around then we tried it again...nothing changed. She was finally able to see all she needed to see to make sure the baby was developing and doing ok. We'll try it again in 8 weeks. Kambell and Kinlee's eyes were as big as silver dollars when they recognized the baby's profile, a hand, a leg, etc. I think it made it seem a little more real to them. 21 weeks down and counting...

We had a fun day...just wish Kasey could have joined us. But when he returns from Salt Lake he and I are having dinner with some friends. So he'll get his attention, too! We are so blessed to have this time together and that we are able to spend it having fun and making memories together. When #3 comes along it all may come to a screeching halt...at least for awhile.

Make-up...Dress up...Polish

Kambell and Kinlee get so excited when our neighbors show up with their make-up and fingernail polish. They all head straight for the dress up clothes. Before Kambell and Kinlee went to Mamm and Pappy's they got to get one good play day in (Thank you Jamie!).

Kambell was very excited to be in the "beauty chair" first. Kinlee just poses like a professional and look how good Jake is being... just sitting back and waiting for the primping to come to an end so they can go run and play.

Kinlee lost her top to Kambell, Emma and Annie squeezed into toddler size dress up clothes...but nothing mattered because they were all together.

A Beautiful Wedding

After sending Kambell & Kinlee to Bruneau to stay with
Mamm & Pappy (my parents),

Kasey and I headed to Lake Tahoe...
After a long, long trip on the road we arrived to a beautiful
resort like community,
where we adventured and relaxed.

Taylor (Kasey's cousin) and Heather's wedding was perfect.
It was so unique and everything was beautiful.
We enjoyed spending time with the Landa families and each other.
