Snow Day!!!

There was no school today thanks to the cold weather, snow and ice. The boys went to my parents, while I made my way to my doctors appointment. On my way to my doctors appointment I decided to go the "hilly" way to the highway, and slid my car down one hill backwards; boy was that fun!! Anyway, here are some pictures of the boys and their day outside with Nanny and Papa.

Christmas Tree Hunting and Decorations

This past weekend we decorated the outside of our house, and went hunting for the "perfect" Christmas Tree on our friends property. Josh and the kids did the outside of our house....Josh went to Jerry's to pick out the Christmas lights for the house this year...it is hard to see but they are white and orange....GO BEAVERS! We then went out to the tree farm. Here are some pictures, they are in reverse order, but oh well :)

IT'S A GIRL!!!

We had our official 20 week ultrasound today, and found out it was a girl. I had the technician check 3 times; and all three times nothing hanging around! Deagan went with us, and he is super excited. We left Bray with my parents, because he can barely sit through a short book, let alone a long ultrasound appointment!!

Here are some pics of our little girl:

Happy (belated) Birthday Brayden!!!

About 1 hour old.....

Okay, bad mom of the year.....Brayden's 2nd birthday was on Friday, and I didn't even have time to blog........I can't believe how fast it went, really it was WAY faster than Deagan!! Brayden continues to amaze us everyday, and makes us laugh every minute! He is the funniest little guy, plus he is pretty darn cute! I am starting to think that his permanent mowhawk is going to be the trait that matches his personality! He is talking up a storm, and repeats everything.....we have to be really careful!! Here are some pics of my little guy!!!

Trying to open his eyes....he is so cute!

Big 2 year old!!

Has it really been that long????

So no pictures with this entry...I am at work right now.

What has happened since I last blogged????

**Well we are expecting our 3rd child in March. We were very surprised, but are VERY excited. We have a few more weeks before we can find out what the little bambino is, but Deagan and Josh are really wanting a girl. Brayden is too young to care, and I don't care what the little munchkin is as long as it is healthy.

**Deagan tried the Pop-Warner Football thing and it was a very bad experience for him; so now we are on to soccer and he LOVES it! He also started kindergarten at the beginning of September. He is going to Lincoln, and is in the all-day dual immersion program...he will be fluent in Spanish before I will be able to remember mine...yikes! He likes going to school, but still says that he isn't going to speak Spanish...the teacher says that is normal. I will throw in a few Spanish words here and there, and he says "You know Spanish?".

**Brayden turns 2 in a month...I can't believe it! He consistently makes us laugh; and holds his own with his big brother. He is a talker, and a repeater, so we have to be really careful with what we say :) He still has his permanent Mohawk...poor kid, I don't know what we are going to do when he gets older. Oh well, it goes along with his personality!

**Josh is into CHS football, and is gone Thursday and Friday nights. He is still working at the Farm Home.

**I am still working and that is about it. Between work and the kids I am pretty much busy all the time. I am really tired, but not too sick anymore from the pregnancy. I could sleep 12 hours a night, and still be tired. I will try to be more diligent with blogging, but no promises!

Were did time go?????

Wow, summer has gone by so quickly. We have been so busy, barely even making it to our favorite place on earth....Triangle Lake. Our summer has been filled with work, T-ball, Safety Town, Weddings, Yard work and who knows what else.

Deagan has been in T-ball, and Safety Town this summer and has really enjoyed both. Hopefully he will be starting swimming lessons next week too! Plus, in a couple of weeks he starts Pop Warner Football, yikes!!! I can't believe that he will be in Kindergarten in less than a month, it is crazy how fast they grow up. He is very excited to start Kindergarten, and talks about it all the time, hopefully it will continue that way when he is in school all day :) Deagan continues to amaze us with his interesting comments. We are also heading down to Roseburg this afternoon to see his favorite singer, Rodney Atkins....should be interesting!

Brayden is a halarious little toddler. He continues to make us laugh almost every minute. His faces are too funny, and he is talking ALL the time, and repeating EVERYTHING!! He loves picking on his big brother, and then saying "oweeee....Deagy hurt".

Our computer crashed last week, it was horrible. Luckily we found a new one, and our friend Randy was able to save all of my 3,000+ pictures, and got them on our new computer. I have now learned that I need to back things up....I really didn't care about anything but my pictures.

Last weekend, I went to a bachelorette party at the coast for one of my oldest friends Kim Turpin. It was a great weekend with al of the girls. Josh stayed home with the boys, and he happened to have the flu. I felt really guilty leaving, but he insisted that I go.

Josh starts football within the next few weeks, so our even busier schedule will start then. Josh and I and our friends Jenni and Jason are heading down to San Fran to see Kevin and Nicole in the middle of August, it should be a fun way to end the summer!

Hope everyones summer is going well! Here are a couple of pics from this summer.

A few days before the wedding

July 15, 2000

4th of July

Wow how a month has flown by!! This weekend we went to Triangle Lake, our weekend getaway every summer, to celebrate the 4th of July...along with my parents 35th Wedding Anniversary and my Brother's 26th birthday.

It was a wonderful weekend spent with family and friends. All of the Denson's, Hoover's, Locey's (minus a few), and The Copeland's were there.

The kids were great. Deagan and Mackenzie (my niece) played with the little boy Denson's, Justin and Jackson, most of the weekend, and got along well. Brayden made his way around playing with whatever and just being his busy self. Payton (my nephew), was a great little baby, for only 4 months he slept well at night, and was happy go lucky the majority of the time.

Josh got sick on Saturday, and ended up going home about 9:45 Saturday night...poor guy, he missed the big fireworks :(

We had fireworks for a million people, and also got to enjoy the annual Triangle Lake Firework show, which is just amazing....the sound effects of the fireworks that echo around the lake are just crazy!!!

Here are some pictures of our weekend!!
