BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are going to have a house full of BOYS! Oh my goodness, Heavenly Father surely has a great sense of humor.  I would love to have a girl someday, but I am going to have to wait a little longer.  People have asked me how I feel about having another boy and honestly I am excited. I was so nervous and anxious for the ultrasound I was just dying to know. When I found out it was a boy, I admit I was a little dissapointed, but I know God has greater things for me than what I want. I feel like Heavenly Father needs good men in the world and if He trusts me with raising a few of them I am up for the challenge. We make pretty cute boys too! I feel like moms of all boys (not that I am done having kids) are a special kind of woman. They give up on sharing girly things and delve into a world of trucks, wrestling, dirt and play fighting. If we don't end up having a girl we made ourselves, I would surely consider adopting one. Not that I am a totally amazing person, but I feel like I have a lot to offer a girl (or boy for that matter). I would love to help make my daughter's prom dress or hold her hand during labor.  For now I look forward to holding this new baby boy and loving him so much that he never doubts it.  If I am going to have three boys, having them together is great so they can be close in age and be good buds. Someday I imagine myself surrounded by my tall handsome men and look forward to seeing what amazing men they will be.  
From our ultrasound, the baby looked amazing, 9 days ahead in size for his gestational age. All his parts are there and in good shape.  The size of baby gets me a little nervous and just because he is ahead in size doesn't mean he will come early, just means he will be a big baby. Dash measured big also, but he didn't come early, just came big! Maybe a different story this time, who knows. Anyway, we are still working on a name, loving his baby kicks and just so excited for him to join us!

July Adventures

In July my parents were able to come out and see us for a week and we had a great time. They love spending time with their grand kids and it is fun for me to watch them enjoy Jet and Dash so much.  We went on a bike ride with grandma one of the days and then all of us went camping in Zions over the weekend. James hiked the narrows with some of his friends and I spent the day with the boys. We went on a hike to Emerald Pools and ate lunch at the Zion's Lodge.  We had a great time aside from the heat (I think Zion's would be awesome in the fall or even winter). One of our favorite things was swimming in the river that ran along the campground. The water was shallow enough I didn't have to worry about any little boys drowning. When we got back from Zions, that Monday we all went to Lagoon which was a blast. Jet talks about Lagoon all year long and he loves going on the rides and even Dash was big enough to go on some of the rides.
