It's a .......

It's definitely a surprise. We went to our 20 week ultrasound today and I couldn't talk Scott into peeking at the sex of the baby. I thought I could make it, but I had a moment of weekness. Not Scott though. The ultrasound tech had us close our guys a couple of times, but she sent me home with the DVD. I think I will have to send it home with Korie.

So Maggie hates eating dinner. She has been getting a little better, but today she was such a stinker. Scott and I made her stay at the table until she ate something (the super nanny would be so proud) and the funniest thing was she fell asleep at the dinner table. I can't believe I missed the picture, but I was so worried about making sure she was alive, I forgot about the kodak moment. I know, of course, she was still alive, but I was feeling guilty about making her stay at the table.

Craters of the Moon

Last month we took the girls camping in the Craters of the Moon. It was great fun. We had always wanted to stop by and check it out. We dragged the poor girls in 5 different caves. At first they were crying and by the end they thought it was fun. We took little hikes and nature walks

The girls were so dirty.

Trek

Scott and I just got home from being Ma's and Pa's on Trek. What an amazing experience. My sweet in-laws kept our kids so we could go. I was pretty worried being 17 weeks pregnant, but I survived with help from alot of praying. I really didn't want to get an IV or have to ride in a medical car and I didn't have to. We walked 13 miles the first day and 10 more over the next 3 miles. Scott was amazing with the kids. I was so impressed with him as he taught the family lessons and such. Our kids were great. I would go again next week.

Yellowstone

Our yearly Yellowstone trip up to my parents cabin. Ted teaching Annie how to fish

Playing in the river

Our 3 mile hike in the rain. Good thing for us Ted brought rain gear. I wish my camera hadn't died because we stuck Ellie's head out the top of the rain jacket we were sharing. Oh it was funny. She thought it was so cool.

SuMmer FuN

Here are a few random pictures of our Summer so far. Ellie and Mason taking a mud bath. Typical for my kids.
Having so much fun.

Scott and the girls playing on the Slip and Slide. Scott is such a great Dad. Otis and I were way too wimpy to go down the slide.

We got the girls a trampoline for their birthdays. They have had such a great time.
