It's a BOY!

Wednesday, August 8th, we found out we are having another BOY!

                                                                  

Yesterday Chase came home from work and surprised me with a baby gift.  I must say that as many times as I have gone through the boy thing...I can't get enough and am so thrilled to have such a crazy cool family! 

I love the clothes, I love the color, and I love that behind these sweet smiling faces is an endless supply of energy that challenges me more than any 26.2 miles ever could.  They make me who I am and I could not be happier to be having another boy!

Although, I must say that the greatest part of all is seeing the look on peoples faces when I tell them that we are having another boy.  In fact when we were leaving the doctors office right after we found out, we got on the elevator and the lady who got on right after us looked at the boys and said, "Wow, 3 boys!"  I didn't have the heart to tell her that the 4th is on its way!   Our doorman, Lynda, has been asking for days now what we are having.  I thought she was going to start bringing her pink pom poms convinced we were finally going to be having a girl.  She is a nice old black lady and this is what her face looked like when I finally broke the news to her that we are having a boy.

Her eyes went all big and she went quiet as a mouse.  Not sure if she felt bad for me or if she started visualizing the lobby with 4 crazy boys going in and out.  It is pretty funny though and I wish I had everyone response on camera.  

GO BOYS!

Summer 2012

We just returned from a from a fun summer in Utah.  We flew out on June 12th.  Our family all met us at a park up in Salt Lake where we had lunch and then sent the boys with their cousins while Chase and I flew to California for a few days.  Chase had a work trip so I took advantage of the opportunity to    tag along and enjoyed some quiet time to sleep, shop, and relax by the pool. It was a lot of fun to be with him since it is not very often that we get to get away by ourselves.

After a few glorious days, Chase flew to Settle and I headed back to Utah to be with the boys and family.  Wish He could have come with me but I guess that is what happens when you have a real job:)
The boys had so much fun. They truly had the time of their lives with family and especially their cousins.

Best Buddies!  It is so fun that they have each other!  There was never a dull moment and they could not get enough of each other.  They sure miss them and love looking at all the pictures of the fun they over the summer.

And here is Jayden and Liza Bell!  Cutest duo ever!  I think this was my favorite part.  I loved watching these two play together.  Besides the few times when Jayden was a stinker about his toys...or when he started swinging the bat at Eliza's head, they were so cute together and got along great!  So fun to have a girl in the mix of all these crazy boys.

Here is Grandma's GRAND carnival on the 4TH OF JULY!

Fun in the Canyon with the Palmer's

The boys favorite place this summer was Liberty Land.

Boys first swimming lessons

Let the games begin!  Celebrating the night of the Opening Ceremonies.

Fishing with Grandpa

Last but surely not least, family Volleyball.  Favorite summer activity.

And then... came the day we had to fly home.  Saying goodbye and passing time away with a 3 hour layover in Denver.  Rough day.  Luckily Grandma had bought them "camping toys" which they love and can play with for hours.

This is Jackson taking a nice close up shot of me and Chase.  Second flight, almost home.
