IT'S A ...............

GIRL!!!!! I know I still can't believe it and I will not be suprised if when she comes out they happen to see a little extra something you know where. Just to make me feel a little more confident the ultra sound tech is going to just do a sex check at my next appointment to confirm. She was pretty sure it was a girl though! Headbands, bows, flowers, I can hardly wait :) Oh and we are thinking Peyton. Dr Cox said "But that's a football name". I know but I can't think of another baseball name and I just love Peyton.

HALLOWEEN

We had a fun Halloween. The boys went hunting most of the day and then we had pizza, carved pumpkins and went trick or treating. Here are also a few pictures of the mummies my mom helped me make for all the teachers at Syringa (53).

Derek's new baby...And the birds are still safe

H&K FABARM 20 guage Silver Lion Overunder Shotgun, it was worth every penny. (So I think)
It has the most beautiful wood and engravings, only weighs 6.7 pounds, and is sooooo smooth!
If only it guaranteed birds! Thanks for talking me into it Cameron!
Now I have to clean the house for punishment!!!
Jill thought the money would be beter spent for the REAL BABY!


And a funny picture of the boys.

SUCCESS!!! The gun is broke in!

I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAVE A 1st GRADER

Today was Easton's first day of 1st grade. I kept asking him all week if he was excited and he kept saying, "No what am I going to do there ALL day? I want to play with my friends instead!" Then this morning he woke up and was so excited he kept saying "I am so excited I can't believe school is today!" I have mixed feelings. I am glad to see him back in the structure of school and it will be nice to have the break, but I was a little sad to think of my baby in school all day eating lunch, riding the bus. Okay it took me til about 1:15 to get over it. That is when he walked back in the door this afternoon and started whining.

HUCKLEBERRY PICKIN

So we headed off to Soda Springs last weekend to go Huckleberry Picking. Derek is obsessed with Huckleberries and has even tried to grow them in out backyard several times. It was fun and the boys had a blast. Well Cannon did most of the time except when the red ants got him. The boys were playing and all of the sudden Cannon started crying and we asked him what was wrong. Easton comes stollin up and says "Oh he just has red ants crawlin all over him" like it is no big deal. Poor Cannon got eaten alive. They even got in his diaiper and bit his little bum all up. The joys of camping :) I think Mitt had the most fun. We ran him until he was so tired he couldn't keep his eyes open. Now he has a huge blister between his toes. Maybe that will keep him from diggin for awhile! Thanks Grant for directions to the great pickin spot!

BEAR LAKE

We had a fun time at Bear Lake this last weekend with Derek's family. Cannon is not afaid of the water and makes me so nervous. We had lots of fun riding jet skis, the tube, and just hanging out. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Rice for letting us invade your house for the weekend.

CANNON IS "2"

I can't believe our baby is 2! We had a fun day slipin slidin with all the neighbors and cousins and then had a BBQ that night. Cannon got a tonka bike that is still a little big for him and alot of fun dumptrucks to dig in my flower beds :)

Newport Beach

Back to the vacation. Here are some pictures from the beach. We went to a beach in San Diego the first day but it wasn't that great. We went to Newport Beach later in the week and it was so much fun. We wish we would have went back there instead of going to Disneyland. The boys found a boogie board that no one claimed so they had fun on it all day.

SUNK TRUCK

By popular demand here are the pictures of the sunk truck from the last weekend. We were driving along in about 2 feet of water when we hit a sink hole. Before it was done the front right corner of the hood was completely under water. I think the pictures tell the rest. Let's just say I told him not to go that way and this isn't the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last :)
