WE ARE HAVING.......

Londyn is proud to announce that she will be a big sister to a little brother!!! We went to the doctor's office at 3:30 yesterday for the ultrasound. The techie said she knew right off the bat we were having a boy! I guess he was showing off his equipment!! Looks like my children are very PROUD of who they are, because Londyn did the same thing!! He is healthy and everything is perfect, except he's measuring 3 weeks behind, so my due date might change next month!! BUT we are THRILLED to be blessed with a little boy!! It will be a new adventure! Just as Londyn was!!

Another exciting thing happened for us this morning, Londyn broke through her first tooth! It has been a very hard past few days for the little girl! :( Because on top of teething she's got some virus. Poor thing can't catch a break. But she was such a big girl at the ultrasound and even watched the screen for the most part.

WE are so blessed to have these children in our lives. I am very grateful that Heavenly Father trusts Bradey and me to take care of them here on the earth. Being a mom is amazing!!

Mother's Day/Kason's 3rd B-day

Our nephew Kason turned 3 on May 10th (Mother's Day) and we were invited to go to Yellowstone Bear World for his birthday!! WE had a blast!! Londyn loves animals, so she was in heaven with all the bears, deer, elk, and other animals!! We got to go on a "bus tour" to feed the BIG Grizzly and Black bears, we went on rides, and had YUMMY cake!! After all the bear fun, we headed to Idaho Falls to eat dinner at Red Robin!! The food was awesome, our waitress SUCKED!! Oh I guess I should mention that I got a new CTR ring, a book, and breakfast for Mother's Day that morning!! I have the best husband and daughter ever!!!

The first BEAR we got to see was a huge stuffed one in the gift shop

Then we got to see and pet the little baby bears. They were maybe a few months old!
Then we hopped on the bus
First we saw Buffalo and Elk
This guy will get up to 8 points when his antlers grow out!!

Then we were ready to FEED and see the BIG bears! The neat thing was that some of the bears were "show biz" bears. One was a Coca-Cola bear, and another one was Baloo from the live-action version of The Jungle Book.


The Alfa Wolf and The Oldest Grizzly

This was funny!! This wolf kept following this white car!!
After the tour we went into the petting zoo. Londyn loved the momma and baby deer.
The momma started to lick me!
Our little baby bear!! ROARER......
Bradey went on all the rides except one because he couldn't fit in the car, so I had go!!
Londyn had fun, so don't be fooled by the faces she pulls in the pictures!

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!

ANOTHER ONE!!

I just have a funny tale to tell!! You all know how much of a Daddy's girl Londyn is. She has been that way since the womb. Every time Bradey would talk or touch my belly she would kick like crazy. Well this morning at 4:30!! I got a nice little kick that made me have to go pee, and then I just couldn't fall back asleep. The baby was kind of moving, so I just sat there and enjoyed our "alone time" together. Bradey's alarm went off at 5, like it does every morning. I told him that his child was kicking, so he put his hand on my belly! OH BOY!! Our new little monster just went CRAZY!! She/he was kicking like there was NO tomorrow!! It seems that my children share a secret bond with their father that maybe I'll understand in the eternities maybe?!! Since I don't know what makes them love him SO much before they even meet him. I just find it funny how we're 2 for 2 on Daddy's kids! But I can't blame them, he's very hard NOT to love!!

Miss J's Birthday Party!!

Oh my heavens!! What a BLAST Saturday was for our "Big" girl!! THE moment she woke up her Daddy kept saying, "You want to go swimming!! We're going to go swimming today!!" And she KNOWS the word swimming very well! So I couldn't get the kid to fall asleep before her party, which I was really worried she be a total grouch the whole time!! She was having so much fun between getting spoiled with ALL her presents, ICE CREAM cake, and SWIMMING that she didn't even notice that she had not had a nap all day!! Of course when everyone started getting cold and headed to the hot tub, the girl just passed out in my arms without a peep!! I was so proud of her! And I'm so glad she had so much fun!! As you can see from the pictures this girl LOVES the water!! So we are so glad that we decided to go swimming.

We want to thank everyone for Londyn's gifts!! She got a lot of clothes and toys, but so far she has 2 favorites.

One is from Grandma & pa Cook
Its a singing book! Her two favorite things in one!!
And the other is a musical Princes riding car!!
From her Ninny & Papa Kendall

After presents we had to hurray and eat her ice cream cake (it was melting!!) She didn't like sticking her fingers in "cold stuff" so I gave her a spoon to see if she would eat it that way! And she did!! And OH BOY!! Did she make a mess!! There was ice cream and cake IN her diaper!! on the ground, in her hair!!!
This picture makes me laugh, its such a Londyn thing to do!!
She clapped for everyone after we got done sing "Happy Birthday" to her!!

Our favorite part of the day finally started!! After a few children got impatient!! (Alex, Abbi, Kason, and Londyn!!)

Bradey and I got Londyn a new swimming suit and floaty for her birthday!!

She loved both!!
I love this one! It shows how silly Bradey & Kason are together!!
Londyn wanted to play like "BIG" girl, and Kason wanted to hop into the "BOAT"!Like most party girls, she was run down, and ready for that nap!!
Can't ya tell!!
When we hopped in the hot tub Bradey & Kason were doing "Tough Guy" moves!
This is just a silly picture of Hunter afterwards!!
